Pine Street Physical and Occupational Therapy on 534 E Pine St, I am happy I -am now here doing physical therapy because I wanted to workout with here, I'm more pleased y'all accepted me, thanks!From when you walk in you get greeted with a "smiling hi" from Lucy and Nancy as soon as you are singing in. When you enter the PT/OTa The great customer service continues, it's s amazing. Scott is the greatest Physical Therapist ever. From the first "interview," Scott started examining me and pinpointing areas that we would need to focus on for my recovery. He observed my movements with and without my ankle-foot orthosis (AFO), he asked if I any pains, difficulties, and did a mini workout to further assess my functional abilities From day one, Scott has been telling me "we are going to start with... .," because he is pushing me to do more challenging workouts to improve/recover my walking ability as much as possible. Scott is putting attention to every detail from how to improve my walking, how to do the workout the correct way, to how I need a new AFO, or even to challenge myself further. Scott pushes me to do my exercises with more sets or adding obstacles to increase my strength. Thanks to these challenges, my thighs are the same size. But all of this is based on observation of (patients/clients), he evens looks at placement of y toes during an exercise in order to ensure I am doing the exercise correctly. Even when he is stretching me out, he only stretches me as much as I can tolerate because he's concerned about my well being first and foremost. Yes Scott's is friendly, but he's also more authoritative (in a good way), because he pushes you to do better and train harder. I know I need my cane for support, but I'm now pushing myself to walk without it with his support. Stephanie Stephanie is a great aide she does not just give me orders, she starts by talking to you as a person; as she tells you where we're going to start, and takes you to the next "exercise," and shows you how to do the workout in a better way. Once Stephanie sees you doing exercises easily, she will ask you to increase your exercise efforts and challenge you further. I will admit at times I ask for extra help because she is very ambitious yet has great charisma. Stephanie's charisma helps you to continue to workout which leads to overcoming what brought you to Pine Street Physical and Ocuppational Therapy in the first place. Whenever something seems hard for me to do, they will find an alternative exercise until I am capable to overcoming my obstacles. Thanks Scott, Stephanie, Kat, Jas , Lenav, Diana, and Dereck for always reminding me how to walk and stand up, and get back on my feet. Occupational Therapy has been an excellent experience as well. I started with Sarah and Ida, when I was just doing a one-on-one. Thanks Sarah and Ida, for helping me so much specially Sarah, who help me with the Saebo Flex grasp and release mechanism. Sarah took specialized training courses to be able to fit the device for me and to use it to strengthen my grasp and release ability, and I am so thankful. Now I have Dereck and Diana, and Jess. They have kept giving me some tough love, but they have pointed out some posture improvements I was completely unaware of. Oh believe me, it might seem as they're talking to you, but they're observing and telling/reminding you to correct or stop doing it. But one thing I do appreciate a lot from Diana is that she keeps telling me I have improved so much, and it is nice to hear that. Derek, he might not say it, but he'll say "it's time to bump up to the next level." Although, now it's a bigger room it still feels cozy there because they have great people working hereYes this place is here to help us, but we have to put in the effort to overcome our limitations or obstacles. I am so thankful for being able to work with such a great team to pick up the pieces and and attempt to get my functional abilities back on track
