Restore Physical Therapy & Wellness

How do I fully communicate my love for this place? I went to several other PTs before this one, and can wholeheartedly say this is by far our area’s best. I saw Viraj, who was outstanding, and she successfully helped me decrease the frequency of terrible tension headaches though stretching and postural work.
This place takes a holistic view on health, meaning they look at many factors behind the pain you’re experiencing, not just taking a simple approach. For me, they incorporated shoe insoles (which they make for 20 – 30 bucks!!), postural rehabilitation, deep tissue massage, ultrasound technology, electrical stimulation, and Pilates and yoga moves to build core strength to permanently deal with the real problem. I know they also offer dry needling and other tools, too.
Can’t recommend this place enough!!!

Kim is one of the best physical therapists I have ever met! I had foot and heel surgery about 6 months ago. After the surgery, my foot was incredibly twisted and my heel reconstructive surgery caused my foot to be outwardly inverted so that I could only walk on the outside of my foot. I had extreme problems with walking on it because every time I took a step I had severe pain and swelling. After the surgery, I was non-​weightbearing for 8 weeks and then in a boot for another 4 weeks while walking with crutches. Five and a half months later, I was not walking much better but went from two crutches to one. When I tried walking without the crutches, I blew out my knees and could not walk for two days. Originally, I went to the physical therapist at the foot surgeon’s office who made my problem increasingly worse, and being diagnosed with RSD. The surgeon could not recommend anyone else for me to see, but told me to switch therapists at the office and to go to a pain doctor. I switched therapists at that office. The second therapist was slightly better but still did not know how to treat someone like me (which they should since they are attached to the orthopedic’s office and should know how to treat feet especially a foot which underwent surgery). However, months later I was still using a crutch and still in severe pain every time I walked and stood. I also went to a few pain doctors who wanted to treat me with a sympathetic nerve block or ketamine. Within one time after going to Kim, I already felt my foot hitting the floor better and feeling a little less pain. Kim rubbed out my scars (something the other therapists refused to do) and she listened when I told her I thought my leg was causing some of the problems (which the other therapists just laughed off indicating «let’s get the foot working then we can worry about the leg»). She has state of the art equipment and knows how to treat a patient’s problems especially those patients who suffer with fibromyalgia. During the first session she told me to get rid of the crutch, but instead get a cane (short-​term) for stability. She also indicated that she thought my pain was due to the mechanics of walking rather than sympathetic nerves. Two days later, I went to see Kim for the second treatment and I can’t even begin to tell you how much relief my foot already has. I can finally put my foot down without feeling such shock of pain, and I am walking much smoother. I do not live near her office but am willing to drive over a half hour away to get to the appointment. I wasted five months of my life living with pain and not being able to walk and now in two sessions I finally see some hope and feel happier than I ever did in over 6 months.

I was having pain and numbness that a little bit of Googling and talking with friends I determined to be related to my sciatic nerve. Two rounds of steroids from my doctor did not help and he suggested an MRI. I had the MRI done and it indicated a few things, but I wanted to try non-​surgical remedies first. I saw Kim at Restore and she believed the problem was more with a mis-​aligned pelvis. I had three appointments at Restore in one week and with some manipulation, traction and some other things, Kim had me almost completely pain free. I have never suffered from chronic pain before and this little episode taught me how it can be completely debilitating. The gratitude you feel to the folks that made your pain go away cannot be adequately expressed. The folks at Restore are rock stars. Convenient scheduling, great facility, convenient location, nice folks and creative, thoughtful approaches to pain mitigation are just a few things that make Restore awesome. I highly recommend it.

I followed my therapist, Kim to this location. What I love about this place is the focus on wellness– I am a devoted fan of their yoga instructor, Shannon and the massage therapist, Wendy. When you combine with the PT (if needed), you are taking care to prevent injury in the future. The practice is truly caring about your well-​being and doing whatever they can to keep you healthy! Give your self a treat and take a yoga class and book a massage!
