Testimonials

S.H.

I had an ankle injury from soccer and thankfully found Dr. Bortnick. She did a thorough exam of my ankle, watched me walk, and gave me confidence that I could fix it and get back to playing. Will go back if I have any other injuries!

J.B.

Once you meet Leah it is immediately obvious that she has a passion for helping people. I felt she was an excellent listener which is an invaluable asset in treating patients and a rarity in today’s healthcare system. I give her a big thumbs up!

J.P.

I was in a car accident that left me feeling extremely dizzy and disoriented. Thankfully, I found Dr. B, who reassured me with her professionalism and expertise. She thoroughly assessed my condition and explained the treatment plan clearly. Her compassionate and effective approach helped me regain my balance and feel normal again. Dr. B truly knows her stuff, and her knowledge and skills made me confident in my recovery every step of the way. I can’t thank her enough for her help. 10/10 would definitely go back if I ever need medical assistance again.

Corbett

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.

Testimonials

{

I saw Dr Bortnick for PT related to a neck surgery. We went through many exercises and homework to restore neck muscles. She was very thorough in our interview process asking all kinds of questions. Because of interview process she was able to also identify two other areas I could benefit from some treatment. One was working with my vestibular system to restore balance and reduces dizziness. Again she did testing and a very thorough interview about my history related to my vestibular system. Again she gave me homework to strengthen my vestibular system. Second she introduced me to Nasal Release Technic. Although a little uncomfortable during the procedure the end result greatly increased my ability to breath wide open. I had this procedure done 3 times, each time the end result was I felt my sinuses wide open felt great! I would highly recommend the procedure! I am so grateful to have Dr Bortnick on my team for treatment! I highly recommend her!

Dr Leah Bortnick is one of THE best physical therapists I have had the privilege to work with. I am a complex case, with a torn meniscus, L4/L5 and C4-C7 slippages, and Sacroilitis. She is very knowledgeable about our anatomy and skilled in treating most areas. Dr Leah has done an amazing job of analyzing my conditions, checking my body responses, modifying as needed and developing treatment plans that have me close to recovery in a very short period of time. She is very personable and makes you feel very comfortable. But you can also see her mind working as she watches my every move and corrects me. I love it because I am getting great results! And last but not least she is so very compassionate; she called me at home one day to check up on me!! Now who does that these days!

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 lifesaver. 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 able to resume a regimen including pull ups, Parallel dips and perhaps vertical pushups once I regain full shoulder range of motion.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I expect during physical therapy sessions?

Will insurance cover my physical therapy?

Coverage for physical therapy depends on your specific insurance plan. Most plans cover some or all of the costs, but it’s important to verify your benefits with your provider to understand what is covered and any out-of-pocket fees. Please note, we do not accept Medicaid. If you have any questions or need help understanding your coverage, feel free to reach out, and we’ll be happy to assist!

How often will I need to attend physical therapy sessions?

How long will it take for me to see results?

Every person’s situation is unique; therefore the amount of time needed to reach goals varies. With commitment and dedication from both you and your physical therapist, you can expect to start seeing results within a few weeks.

Yes! Your physical therapist should be available to discuss any concerns or questions you have regarding your condition or treatment plan. Don’t hesitate to bring up any issues that may arise during the course of therapy.

What if I feel too much pain during a session?

How will I know when I no longer need physical therapy?
