Past Patient Spotlights

After consulting with Dr. Allen, she felt confident in the next steps, facing physical therapy with a commitment to reaching her goal of being pain free. After her experience at Ried Physical Therapy, she is confident that she will be able to control her pain in the future and surpass her health goals.
Audrey H. - May 2022
Audrey is a high school student who stays active and involved in extracurricular activities year round. Last summer she experienced jaw locking for several hours at a time. The problem continued and eventually got worse. Her parents had taken her to her pediatrician, dentist, orthodontist, chiropractor and a TMJ specialist before finding Ried Physical Therapy.
After a few weeks, Audrey is no longer in pain and has the tools she needs to control any flare up in the future so that she can stay focused on the things that are important to her.
Michael J. - June 2022
Michael woke up one morning in February and couldn’t move one side of his face. He was then diagnosed with Bell’s palsy, a neurological issue affecting the facial nerve on one side. He committed to physical therapy, consistently showed up, and worked diligently to improve as quickly and efficiently as possible.
As a result, Michael is well on his way to full recovery and is now independently managing symptoms with a home exercise plan. Thanks for all the hard work, Mike!
Samantha R. - October 2021
She was discouraged when first starting care and was doubtful about her ability to improve. Samantha could have decided that the 2 hour drive to get to her appointments was too much, but through consistency and determination, she saw the value of her hard work and met her goal of living without limitation. Samantha was a pleasure to work with, and watching her progress was inspiring to all therapists involved.
Elizabeth B. - November 2021
Elizabeth has been selected as November's Patient of the Month because she exemplifies all of the qualities necessary to succeed in physical therapy.

She was recommended to try ASTYM therapy to help with the scar tissue in her shoulder. She found Ried Physical Therapy online and saw that Dr. Allen was certified in ASTYM Therapy. She decided to meet with Dr. Allen and felt confident in the results she could achieve working together with ASTYM combined with other techniques.
Kelly R. - December 2021

With the care she received, she decided to get Derrick treated as well. Both Derrick and Leslie were consistent in their exercises, and made the effort to get out of pain. They made physical therapy fun for both themselves and the therapists who treated them. They always had good attitudes and were a joy to be around.

After therapy, Justin has been able to get back to work, without pain!
Not only was Justin consistent in his therapy, he also utilized the accountability and mental support he found at Reid Physical Therapy to improve to better than before his injury.
