I started physical therapy feeling unable to cope with the pain I was experiencing every time I did anything. Even tasks as simple as doing dishes caused me incredible pain. Ethan is very knowledgeable, kind, patient, understanding, and most of all fun. I feel better than I have felt in years! I have more flexibility and movement and actually look forward to doing activities that I had stopped doing over the years. Very happy with my treatment!
