I was told about Full Distance Physical Therapy by fellow teacher Chad Dawson when he saw me limping down the school hallway. I was in constant pain, had been... read more to two orthopedic surgeons, and was told I needed a hip replacement. Stephanie, my physical therapist, asked me to give her several weeks of rehab before making a decision to have surgery. Immediately I began to feel less pain. After receiving about three months of therapy I became, and have remained, pain free. I have a follow up appointment with my doctor soon and because of Full Distance, intend to tell her I no longer need her services. I am grateful to Dr. Alina Dawson, owner of Full Distance, for imparting her unique philosophy to the practice and to Sidney for accommodating my schedule. I am especially thankful to Stephanie for working minor miracles every week and putting me on the road to recovery. Obviously, I highly recommend Full Distance for your physical therapy needs!
