After having surgery, it’s easy to think that getting back to normal is “too hard.” But with the right physical therapist and the right physical therapy program, it’s not as hard as it can seem.
For Nicholas, he started physical therapy with Dr. Asha, Diana, and the Elizabeth team in extreme pain after his ACL surgery. With the pain, naturally, came the feeling that it might be “too hard” to get back to normal. But with consistency from the physical therapy team and from Nicholas with his post-surgical rehab program, we are so very happy to report that Nicholas has, indeed, gotten back to normal!
We are so very proud of Nicholas and all he accomplished during physical therapy with us. If you are looking to get back to your normal life, schedule a physical therapy consult with us in Elizabeth or Jersey City today!
“I came to physical therapy after surgery on my ACL. I was in very bad pain. I couldn’t walk, the pain was constant, and basically couldn’t put any weight on it at all.
But after physical therapy here, my daily life has improved so much. I am able to bend my knee with no problem, put weight on it, and run with no issues whatsoever.
Every exercise in Dr. Asha’s program was very very helpful and helped to get my whole leg stronger. It got me back to my old self and my life. Thank you!”
