Rising Sun Physical Therapy

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.-

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.-

Another Great Success Story!! :) I came to Rising Sun because of a hip replacement and was having knee pain as a result and balance issues. Bettina was very helpful at solving those problems but also as a result I realized how helpful the tests and exercises were for my overall health and attitude and have become a believer in the power of physical therapy. Thanks!... -Bill E.-
