My Kaiser surgeons were spectacular!! BUT after that, they told me I would be back to normal in six months, BUT if it was not for Ironhorse Physical Therapy, I would probably still be walking with a cane, over a year afterwards. I had a rare abdominal surgery and I knew I needed an athlete to set a high standard for my recovery and I got that at Ironhorse Physical Therapy and one of my sons had some shoulder difficulty and they were able to correct him and teach him about what was going on with his body.

I had PT from Dr. Stacy Johnson for my back , hips and hamstrings issues. Dr. Stacy was amazing. She was able to tailor the routines to help me in recovery within initial 2 sessions. I learned quickly how subtle changes in the way I use my muscles, hips and breathing can have a huge impact on the back, hips and neck! I am giving this review after completing my last session a month ago and almost close to full recovery. I will continue to use the routines given to maintain and improve my strength and mobility.
