Jeanne
Jeanne came to 3DPT Williamstown in September 2024 after battling shoulder pain in both of her shoulders in addition to chronic lower back pain. The pain was to the point that she was considering having surgery. Jeanne wanted to try physical therapy to hopefully avoid having a procedure, and she has done just that!
Jeanne has made incredible progress in PT and is now able to perform all her household activities and take part in her community events without pain!
Jeanne was chosen at 3DPT’s Patient of the Month because of her dedication to PT and willingness to get better. She credits physical therapy as the main reason why she is able to continue doing everything she wants to do without limitations.
Here’s what Jeanne had to say about rehab and time at 3DPT Williamstown:
1. Tell us about what brought you to physical therapy and how this has affected your life.
I started PT about two years ago. I have two shoulders that needed to be replaced. I decided to try physical therapy instead of having the surgery. In the beginning I needed to get cortisone shots.
2. Tell us a little about your recovery process. What has been the hardest part of your therapy? What was your favorite part of physical therapy?
Coming to therapy has greatly improved my range of motion in both shoulders. Steve has been a great therapist. He helped me so much with my therapy. I still come two days a week. One day we work on shoulders and the other day we work on my lower back.
3. What advice would you give to other people going through the same situation?
As we age therapy greatly improves our range of motion and strength. All of the therapists are great. I see how each one of them gives their patients whatever they need to improve their health.
4. What are you looking forward to most this Summer?
My goal is to keep coming to therapy in order to keep active.
