Making headway with your recovery.

I broke my left rib cage about a year ago. From that issue I had 3 trouble areas. I was able to get rid of 2 in about 4 months after the break but the last 1 has been the hardest to fix. The gist is my rib cage, chest wall and skin have serious adhesions. Dr. Leah and her techniques have very much helped with trunk mobility and breathing. I’ve seen her for about 5 sessions now and the progress she’s made is miles ahead of any doctors I’ve seen. She cares, listens, works the problem and measures progress. Highly recommend her and BT&W.

After a repetitive use injury I could no longer raise my elbow to shoulder level without excruciating pain. After just 3 sessions I could raise my hand to the full vertical position. Dr Bortnick has been a life saver. I still have many other motions we are working on, but her expertise is abundantly clear. Pain is involved but it is fleeting and clear progress is palpable after each 1 hour session. At 66 —(18 months post quad bypass), I am playing full.court basketball with men in their prime, so being unable to raise my left arm overhead is a huge disadvantage. After therapy completion, I expect to be amble to resume a regimen including pull ups Parallel dips and perhaps vertical pushups once I regain full shoulder range of motion. Overuse of holding my iPhone was the culprit in my rotator cuff/ shoulder injury. So Beware!

Leah did a fantastic job making be comfortable right off the bat when I came in to see her. She explained everything just right for me to understand what was happening and that made me feel good. Leah is a great Physical Therapist and I recommend her for everyone.
