"I guess that I did not know that I could get better.
My friends are amazed when they see me walk. I can get up and move again,
without shuffling around."

"After more than two years of painful walking, it was refreshing to find a
therapist who understood my bones and muscles. He could even draw pictures
to clarify the correct remedial movement. By the end of the first visit I
had a proven demonstration of a solution to my problem. Practice of course
was necessary for retraining but that is true for all of our bad habits. I
thank him for all his skills and patience."

"Grandma has her life back. She was not washing her hair or putting on makeup.
It was almost as if she did not see a reason to continue living because she
could see her quality of life declining. Now, she has more confidence, and is
starting to become active again, all because of your work with her."

"After a week stay in the hospital, and week at home recovering; I started
having spasms in my lower back and right leg. When my doctor told me,
'to go to a physical therapist,' I was very apprehensive because of an experience
I had with a therapist in the past. The therapist in the past was not sympathetic
to my pain, and pushed me to do things that hurt me. He even took my leg, and
pushed it into my chest; causing a disc in my spine to shatter. I was in surgery
2 days later.
I kept the appointment with Jenny, and spoke with Jenny about my concerns. She
was very understanding and compassionate. She started slowly, was very gentle,
and was attuned to my pain.
She did wonders for me! After the first visit I felt better, and every visit after
that helped more. I was able to go back to work right after my third visit. I tell
Jenny, 'she has magic fingers and I mean it.' I would recommend her highly! I will
never be afraid of therapy again as long as Jenny is practicing."

"I injured my right elbow, and the pain was so great I could barely
move it. My doctor referred me to Northwest Rehabilitation, and
Jenny was my therapist. On the first visit she said, 'I am going to
massage your elbow, and the injured muscles to make them feel better.'
My first though was 'you are going to do WHAT?' But I didn’t say
anything, and I let her do her job. She was very gentle, and worked
wonders with the techniques that she used. I was amazed at how well
my elbow felt after the first visit. I continued to improve after
each visit. After my fourth visit I was able to shampoo my carpets!
I can now lift heavy pots and pans when I cook. My right hand and arm
were much weaker than my left side, due to strokes that I have had
in the past. After working with Jenny, and doing the home exercises
that she recommended, when I returned for my fifth visit, my grip in
my right arm is now just as strong as my left arm.
I recommend Jenny to anyone in need of rehabilitation. She’s the greatest!
Thanks Jenny."

"I have seen a lot of change since he started seeing you (Mike).
I think that the drive, the hope, the feeling of walking has really
changed his attitude. Considering the life that he has lived, bound
to the wheelchair, this has helped so much with everything. He is
getting his life back."
