➡️ Check out what Bill has to say about his experience at Made New Physical Therapy! Our good friend Sam from UPMC referred Bill to us!
"I have always been active - enjoying cycling, trail running, paddleboarding and lately rucking.
Last year I experienced a few falls while trail running, usually clipping a rock or root with my left foot. During my workdays I also noticed some mild foot drop and decreased dorsiflexion. I usually self-diagnose and just push through these ailments as do most of us I believe. This felt different.
I sought out the advice of Samantha Snukis, PA-C, UPMC. After her very thorough evaluation she ordered some x-rays and eventually an MRI. The MRI confirmed her suspicion. There was an L5-S1 compression which was degenerative in nature. I had signs and symptoms of sciatica secondary to piriformis syndrome, so Sam believed I could benefit from Physical Therapy.
I contacted Made New PT in Lititz. Alisha Green, DPT, met with me on the first visit. Her evaluation and assessment were very thorough. She assured me that while the actual compression was not fixable by PT alone, the symptoms could be managed with some specifically designed exercises.
After multiple visits to Made New PT and daily personal sessions at home and work, using the tools Alisha, Julia and Alison taught me, I was on the mend and back to trail running and other activities I enjoy.
I have not been to other PT Clinics in my life so I can't make any comparisons. But, I can tell you I felt so much positive energy from everyone I met at Made New. The therapists demonstrate professionalism while also offering a compassionate and calming reassurance.
Thanks again to you all!!”
