Rosendo I.
I recently had an unfortunate experience with a doctor who failed to diagnose the source of my shoulder and finger pain in my left arm, despite subjecting me to numerous tests. Disappointed with the lack of results, I was referred to the physical therapy department at their hospital. Unfortunately, the experience there was equally disheartening, as the staff seemed to lack the necessary knowledge and expertise to address my issues effectively.
Thankfully, my luck changed when I decided to seek help from Preston, a physical therapist recommended by a friend. From my very first visit, Preston was able to swiftly identify the root causes of my problems, which were primarily related to poor posture and muscle tension. I started my sessions with Preston in March 2022, and to my surprise, I began to notice positive changes within the first two weeks.
Now, over a year later, I can confidently say that I have never experienced such exceptional posture and body awareness. Preston's expertise and guidance have not only transformed my physical well-being but have also heightened my overall awareness of my body. This newfound awareness has translated into improved body mechanics, better eating habits, and even enhanced performance in my workouts.
One of the aspects I appreciate most about Preston is his attentive and compassionate approach. He genuinely listens to his patients and provides valuable advice. I strongly urge all patients to take his recommendations seriously, as they have undoubtedly played a significant role in my recovery and personal growth.
Preston's extensive knowledge, patience, and understanding make him a remarkable physical therapist. He is unwavering in his determination to help his clients recover, and he goes above and beyond to help them become better versions of themselves, even after their recovery is complete.
In conclusion, if you're seeking a physical therapist who is not only skilled but also deeply committed to your well-being, I wholeheartedly recommend Preston. His expertise, guidance, and genuine care have made an incredible difference in my life, and I am confident they can do the same for you.
