What a great way to end this year!! Congrats! "I was referred to Rising Sun after spraining my ankle. I wasn't sure what the recovery time would be, but I am pretty active and wanted to make sure I was going to heal properly. I loved my first session with my therapist. She explained everything and made me feel totally at ease. I learned exercises I could do at home, that combined with the work we were doing in the office made such a huge difference. I am so glad I came ...in and took the time to take care of myself and to heal my ankle. Every time at Rising Sun was so wonderful and I really loved every part of working with everyone there." -Alli C.-

Congrats Sam!!! We are happy you are feeling better! I scheduled my first appointment for shin splints at Rising Sun on a recommendation from my sister-in-law. I am so glad I did! From the very first appointment I could tell my therapist was very detail oriented and interested in my problem and the unique quirks of my body. She did extra research outside of my appointments to find out what my condition actually was and then developed exercises and stretches that I could do in the office with her or at home. I am feeling much better these days and feel like I know what to do to get my legs better and get back on the road. Thanks so much! -Sam W.-

What a great way to start November! Another of our patients is recovered! "I had been a patient of rising Sun Physical Therapy for over a year. After my second knee surgery (tear of meniscus) I had random swellings on my leg and pain around hip. I wanted to have a chance to have my lifestyle back: playing bowling, running, biking etc. and Bettina helped me achieve these goals. At the beginning it was a little difficult, but she didn’t give up on me. Bettina started to focu...s not only on the knee, but also on the whole body. She tailored exercises and prepared long-term plan for me. At some point, I started noticing that the pain in my hip disappeared, several days later from the knee. My posture has improved, and I can stretch more. Now I am more aware of how safe to push my body’s limits without triggering a pain. Thank you, Rising Sun crew, for bringing my pain free life back!" -Dorota G-

Another Patient is back to do what he loves! "Nicole is a very warm and friendly person who welcomed me in when I was experiencing shoulder pain. She spent the time getting to know me and what I was trying to achieve- getting back to being able to do yoga and lots of outdoor sports. Through good humor, persistence and lots of support she helped make my recovery a reality. I would recommend Nicole to all of my friends with a 5 Star rating." -Bradley K.-

Yes!! :) Another great story! I came to Bettina with lots of shoulder pain and limited mobility over the course of 8 weeks, we worked together 2x per week in person + virtually. I couldn’t exercise because basic things like jumping jacks and even yoga was very painful. Bettina taught me how to test for weakness + empowered me with rehab exercises to build strength. By the end of the 8 weeks, I could exercise again and have a routine to keep strengthening my shoulder. I am... so grateful to have my mobility back and to be able to move about without pain. -Eryn M.-

If you’ve already been diagnosed with a common form of arthritis such as osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis, you may have learned that these chronic joint pain conditions can’t be cured or reversed. Read more here: https://1l.ink/BSG7HLS #RisingSunPT

We LOVE seeing our patients get better! My VA care provider recommended for me to get Pelvic Floor Therapy because I spent many restless nights urination 5-6 times each night. I just assumed that’s how it is after 60. (I’m 72) Wrong! With the help of Nicole, I was able to reduce my urination to 3 times each night. That’s huge! It didn’t come easy for me. I worked hard at consistently doing the PT exercises Nicole provided. During this whole process, Nicole was professional,... personable and engaging. We had a lot of good laughs. My passion is swimming long distance. Should I require PT in the future, I know exactly where to go, Rising Sun Physical Therapy. Thank you, Nicole, for all your great help. Also, thank you to Kelsey for scheduling all my visits. -Duke-

Did you know that athletes are naturally at an increased risk of sustaining an injury? The more frequently you push yourself to engage in physical activity or try new skills, the higher your risk of sustaining an injury becomes! Visit out site: https://risingsunphysicaltherapy.com/ #RisingSunPT

Another great story from one of our patients! When I first came to see Bettina I was struggling with various health issues not sure how or if they were connected. Once I worked with Bettina for a few months I came into greater understanding of what was weak in my physical body and she gave me exercises to work on coming back to strength and wholeness. This while process has been more than worth it, especially since I traveled 5hrs away to see Bettina in person. I am grat...eful and way more confident moving forward that I was when I arrived. -Kate S.-
