Mike

Mike first came to 3DPT Deptford because he was worried about his balance, falling, and not being able to do the things he wanted to as easily. Over the last few months he has been consistent with attending therapy and has made great strides towards his goals. Even he can’t believe how far he’s come!

Even better, Mike always shows up with a smile on his face, is willing to try any new exercises his PT, Dr. Kaitlyn Weatherby throws at him, and is great at encouraging others to continue working towards their goals! Mike is a true testament that with hard work and dedication, anything is possible!

Here’s what he had to say about his injury and experience at 3DPT Deptford:

Tell us what brought you to physical therapy and how this affected your life.

Mike:  

My biggest concern was falling and my ability to complete everyday tasks. Everything was effected from taking a shower to taking out the trash. 

Doctors and my insurance company agreed  that I should have physical therapy but having had previous negative experiences with therapy I was reluctant to try again. I went to 3DPT on my own to check it out. The receptionist took my information, confirmed my eligibility and made an appointment on the spot – I was already impressed.

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?

Mike: My first visit was not only a introduction to Kaitlyn Weatherby PT, DPT but also an evaluation. I also started a therapy plan with homework assignments. Each week my routine was expanded, varied, challenging and fun.

The results are astounding to me. I now get up from a chair with less effort, do the wash, take out the trash and accomplish all my household tasks. My life has improved!

The hardest part is actually keeping track of my accomplishments and realizing how far I have progressed. 

The best part of PT is the welcome I get every time I come in from everyone. This is an outstanding staff who make you feel welcome and important.

What advice would you give to other people who suffered similar injuries or are going through the same situation?

To other older people with similar problems, give 3DPT a try. I’m certain you will be astounded with the results.  Having investigated other PT I found 3D to be the BEST.

What are you most looking forward to doing as the weather gets nicer?

Mike: This spring I’m planning on walks in the many parks in the area.

Physical Therapy can help you reach your goals too!
