Freedom Physical Therapy and Wellness - Elkhart

"I was recommended to John at Freedom Physical Therapy by several people.After waking up one morning not able to feel most of my left side from the waste down, as well as my strength was gone which made it nearly impossible to walk I was sent straight to the ER.. After an MRI I was told it was a bulging disc compressing my nerves as well as a couple other minor herniated disc. I was sent to a neurologist and told to come back in a month to see how I felt. My case could have easily been a needed surgery with the complications to my nerves being compressed and losing feeling and strength. After 4 visits with John I can confidently say I'm on the road to recovery without surgery. Most of the numbness has left, strength has increased each week and I can walk normal again. He really listens and comes up with a custom plan, not just following the PT "guidebook" and then sends you out the door. He's been extremely informative, making sure I understand everything, how our bodies work, how they can recover and little tips for each exercise. I am 100 percent extremely grateful for his expertise and care helping me get back to work and living an active life."

"I was recommended to Freedom Physical Therapy by a chiropractor after experiencing intense neck/shoulder pain that was affecting my sleep, personal life, and work. I had gone to the chiropractor several times and while it offered some temporary relief, the pain was not improving. I had also tried using a massage gun, a Tens, and even got a deep tissue massage, none of which really worked. Within a week after seeing Johnny the first time, I started to feel improvements using very simple stretches. He is encouraging and great at explaining what is likely happening to cause the pain and why and how different stretches/movements help. I appreciate his wholistic and personalized approach. He was able to help with other chronic issues like headaches and some thoracic discomfort I had been experiencing. Not only did the pain clear in the 6 weeks as he predicted, but I also feel educated enough to use the prevention strategies on my own."

"As a physical therapist myself, I know there is a huge difference in the quality of treatment and service you get from one clinic to another. My shoulder has been bothering me since a weight lifting injury 9 months ago. I had rehabbed as much as I could myself, but I just couldn't get it to fully resolve. So even though I'm from Fort Wayne, I chose to make the drive to see Johnny because his treatment model is unique and I believe superior to almost every other clinic around. He spent quality time evaluating me, provided hands-on treatment, and gave me new exercises I hadn't tried. My shoulder now feels great and I bench pressed heavy weights without pain again this week. I highly recommend that you try Freedom PT first, stop delaying, and finally solve your issue! Thanks Johnny"

"Johnny has worked on various parts of my broken body over the summer and now into the fall. He is super knowledgeable and even goes the extra miles to find out new things and techniques to help. We first worked on my knees, happily keeping me from considering knee replacements just yet. Then on to my neck, which if I keep up with the prescribed exercises is amazingly better. :) My hands were a bit of a challenge and unfortunately most of the issue is arthritis, however when I came to Johnny, I could not open my car door with my left hand. Exercises worked great and now I don't even think about which hand to use to open my car door. Today we worked on my lower back and since Johhny had a similar issue in his life he was "johnny on the spot" to know exactly what would help. (Sorry I couldn't help myself :). I am confident his plan to help my lower back will help going forward. Thank for all your help :)"
