I was given my first recommendation for PT from an Orthopedic doctor in 2012, to help ease the pain of multiple bulging discs in my lower back. At the time, I thought that PT was too expensive to fit in my budget. So, I put it off and figured I would manage the pain with the meds that the doctors gave me, and that would be enough to get me through the issues I was having.
Years went by and I kept putting it off and kept dealing with the pain, and I told myself that I would just stop doing the things that caused me pain. So, I stopped going out dancing, and I stopped going on outings with my friends if it meant I would have to stand for too long. And when I was required to do physical activity that pushed me beyond my pain limits, I would be laid out for days at a time, unable to move without sharp, excruciating pain.
In 2017 I had one of my worse flare-ups, I don’t remember what caused it, but one morning I woke up and was unable to get out of bed on my own, and then when I finally got up, I couldn’t stand up all the way. I had to take several days off of work and go to see a doctor for anti-inflammatory medication. Once I was “back to normal” I still had a lot of trouble with mundane activities; like standing at the mirror doing my makeup in the morning, or holding my nieces and nephews for more than a few minutes. I would always have to make sure I had a place to sit down when my back inevitably started to hurt. PT gave me my life back. Not only were our sessions FUN, but they were extremely beneficial. We learned all sorts of stretches to do, to keep the pain at bay, and also how to help ourselves when we had flare-ups. Now I can dance at my friends’ weddings and go on adventures with my boyfriend and my dogs. I can pick up my nieces and nephews and fly them around the house.
I am so grateful to Revive. The staff is warm and welcoming, and you can tell that they really care about their patients. I also love Saeed and Dayna’s passion for their business. It comes through in the work that they produce and how they show you that with a few simple stretches and some monster walks, you can truly lower your pain levels.
So, prior to PT with Revive I suffered with rear constant low back pain. Most modes of treatment were ineffective in treating pain. I couldn’t sit, walk, or stand without the nagging back pain. Through the progressive PT program with Revive over the past 3 months, I’ve gradually been able to increase my core/back/leg strength and reduce the level of pain significantly. I am confident with the home maintenance program, I will be able to get back to all activities I’ve been unable to perform such as hike, mountain bike, work out, and most important, return to work at UPS. Thanks!
I never experienced back pain until after giving birth to my daughter in 2016. I thought that the lasting discomfort was just a part of how my body had changed post-partum. Flash forwards to spring 2019 and I found myself in a ton of pain after a back spasm, unable to lift my daughter. I heard about Revive from my husband and thought I would give Physical Therapy a shot, and I am so glad that I did! In a matter of less than 2 months. I learned about what was causing my pain and exercises to hep feel my best. Now I can do all that I used to be able to do pre-baby and am feeling great. Thank you, Revive!
When I first came in to Revive, I could not sit for a long time and I could not bend over, due to my lower back pain. The hardest thing was using the resistance band and side stepping. Now I can do everything with ease!
Before I came to Revive, I used to get back pain that would keep me in bed for days. After coming to therapy here, my quality of life has improved. I feel stronger and ready to have a healthier lifestyle. Thank you all!
I was having such pain in my upper back that I could not sit for an entire 8 hours at work. Driving was painful and I had to have my girlfriend drive me to and from work. But after about two weeks of PT at Revive Physical Therapy and Wellness, the pain had subsided. I was able to drive and sit at my desk. After the final week of PT, I am back to 100%. Saeed saved me from getting an MRI and possibly surgery on my back.
I’ve been Revived! Before coming here, I couldn’t do a single squat, but now I have been able to incorporate them into my new workout regiment that Revive has helped me start. I can’t say enough great things about this place, everyone here is friendly and patient all the while keeping a fun atmosphere. Any chance I get, I will recommend this place!
I was referred by my pain specialist to help strengthen my core. Working with Alyssa + Dalton has been a positive experience. You get one on one attention and skilled trained professionals to work with. Through my time at Revive my core has strengthened and increased my range of motion. I would recommend Revive to anyone looking for results + also a fun time during your workout sessions. Thanks for all your help, coaching, and many laughs. I am going to the gym now and doing weights in the meat head section.
Having degenerative discs always put a hindrance on daily activities, working, and especially traveling. I would have very sharp pains in my lower back, most times shooting down my legs into my knees and calves. Sometimes even preventing me from walking more than just a few steps. Now after learning proper ways to manage pain and exercises that strengthen the core muscles surrounding where my pain was. I experience no pain when commuting to and from work, walking is enjoyable again, and I can make it through my work days without discomfort. I am truly thankful for Revive!
I’ve had lower back problems off and on for years. Recently my activities have been curtailed by severe pain and stiffness - more so then usual. The exercises prescribed to me at Revive have given me back much of my spinal mobility and strength. I also notice a “looser” feel in my hips, much less stiffness after prolonged walking and sitting, and an ability to work around the house (gardening and general maintenance, etc.) with little to no pain.
