Physical Therapy in North Aurora, Batavia and Aurora for Arthritis

“ Joe and his staff at Physical Therapy Advantage are fantastic. I’ve been a client twice and had a great experience both times.The first time was due to severe low back pain (with spinal arthritis and a herniated disc as the primary causes) about five years ago. It had gotten bad enough that I was barely able to crawl, let alone stand up or walk. I saw my primary care doctor and a neurosurgeon and had an epidural steroid injection for the pain before being prescribed physical therapy to see if it helped. It did! Joe was able to figure out what was out of alignment and why, and I was pain-free in a just a few months.I recently had some pain again in my hip and low back and decided to skip the shots and doctor visits and just head straight to physical therapy. I went back to Physical Therapy Advantage since my experience the first time was so good. The second time was just as good - I’m all fixed up just a few months later and have a home stretching and exercise routine to prevent future problems (which I’m about to do after posting this!).Joe is great at diagnosing and explaining exactly what is wrong and how the exercises and stretches he recommends will work to fix it. He and his staff are also positive and friendly. I hope that I won’t have a need for more physical therapy any time soon, but if I ever do, I’ll be seeing Joe again. ”

“ It was my good fortune to have a friend recommend me to Physical Therapy Advantage after a back injury in the fall of 2012. Word of mouth has always been my preferred way to find a health care provider. Joe King and his associates at Physical Therapy Advantage were always concerned, supportive, encouraging, and professional. By truly listening to my problems and issues, Joe crafted a treatment plan for me that oincluded in-clinic care as well as home exercises to support that care. The results were so positive, that I did not hesitate to return to this clinic when I found out in 2013 that I needed knee replacement surgery. Again, a therapy plan was created for me prior to surgery in June 2014, and then after surgery to enable me to get my new knee strong, and to increase my flexibility when moving it. Once more, after much dedicated care by Joe and exercise work by me, the results were positive. However, osteoarthritis was not done with me yet! In late 2014, I found that I needed both of my hips replaced as well. This was very discouraging news. However, I had such confidence in my surgeon, as well as in my physical therapist, Joe and the staff at Physical Therapy Advantage, I knew that I could face these surgeries and rehabs. Throughout this entire time, I could always count on Joe and his staff to keep me positive and focused on the end result-- to walk without pain! After left hip surgery in Feb. 2015, and then right hip surgery in June of 2015, their subsequent physical therapy sessions and home care exercises, I finally reached my end goal---to walk without pain! It was a hard, 3 yr. long, physically taxing journey but, with the professional care I received from this facility, with all their support and encouragement, I was successful. I highly recommend Joe King and Physical Therapy in North Aurora. ”
