It may sound corny, but the old saying is true, especially in Physical Therapy: a smile goes a long way!
When our patients come in for their Physical Therapy appointments, we want to make sure that, first and foremost, that they feel better than when they first came in. We know that injuries can wreak havoc on our patients both mentally and physically, so we want to make sure that we’re helping with both during every single appointment.
Before every Physical Therapy appointment in Elizabeth or Jersey City starts, just that simple “Hi, how are you?” with a smile has worked wonders with our patients and their outlook on how today’s appointment is going to progress. What’s even more rewarding is that our patients are appreciative of the effort and are taking that positive attitude back out into their daily lives! And with Humberto’s patient Deborah, we’re so glad that she appreciated the friendliness and wish her nothing but the best!
“I fractured a bone in my left arm, and was initially unable to use it. I couldn’t put on a t-shirt, or lie on my left side, or drive my car.
Physical Therapy helped to ensure that I lost very little strength during the time that my movements were so limited, and helped to speed my recovery. I received great care and instruction. It was exciting to watch my function return again.
The friendliness and humor of Humberto and the staff that was always in evidence makes this a very special place. I’ll certainly recommend it!”
