Plachy Physical Therapy

My husband has been ill and in hospitals and rehab centers over 300 days since Feb. 4, 2013. I spent 100 days with him in the most excellent physical rehab center that helped him to walk between parallel bars after 79 days in acute care, 49 days of that being in ICU. This year my husband once again fell ill and was hospitalized for 122 days straight and thank God he has recovered. We now find ourselves in a different area having rented an apartment to be closer to a major hospital. We had no idea that we would be so blessed to find the most excellent physical therapist this time! He is on par with the gentlemen who helped my husband walk again. One cannot usually find such expert help outside of a rehab center, as we have had multiple bad experiences with home health care agencies with absolute flunkies as physical therapists who could not ever get a job except with a «one horse» home health agency. (They don’t realize that we know exactly what excellent physical therapists should be doing as most patients have not experienced the best as we have).
Mike Plachy has worked with my husband for about 6 weeks now. He is such a fine man. He has a wonderful, warm personality, good sense of humor, and can get my husband to work with him no matter how he is feeling. He is tall, strong, was a college athlete and obviously still works out. Therefore my husband feels secure that he will not be allowed to collapse nor fall. With him my husband has gone from being completely bed ridden to sitting on the side of the bed, being helped into a wheel chair, and partially standing. Mike knows exactly how to help him and encourage him, how to hold onto him, how to carefully and calmly instruct him and how to patiently get him stronger and stronger despite his lengthy and debilitating hospitalization.
My husband is an attorney by profession and was raised in Germany. Mike does such a fine job in treating him properly according to his background, addressing him as «Sir», etc. My husband, therefore, holds him in high esteem, and is willing to do what he requests as he trusts and respects him fully. Also Mike obviously follows all the latest sporting events and athletes which leads to nice manly sporting conversations as my husband is literally sick and tired of medical talk and mainly female nurses and caregivers (and sometimes his wife!) This is also very healing.
My husband is much my senior and before dedicating myself fully to his care I loved teaching high school students and eventually owned a business serving a major university. In getting to know Mike one can tell he must love working with young people as we do and he enjoys serving the athletes who come to him for help after an injury, or needing proper training instruction to become more physically fit, etc. One can immediately sense that Mike is very genuine and we know for sure he truly cares about us personally.
The only drawback (and the reason for only 4 stars) is that it is private pay for his business services. But you can imagine how good he is if clients are willing to pay personally for his help. He’s worth every penny and you will be blessed!
