Back In Motion!

Softball has always been a huge part of my life. It was one of the few outlets I had; a place to escape and forget about all of the stress and just play. When I injured my shoulder and was unable to throw a ball without being in excruciating pain, I was devastated. Fortunately though, I work for an amazing physical therapy company... Back in Motion! I'm not going to lie, I was a little hesitant to start PT because I was convinced that surgery was the only thing that would fix my shoulder. I trusted my coworker and PT, and began a treatment plan of physical therapy. When I started, I had very limited range of motion and barely any strength in my effected arm. At first, it was hard, it was frustrating at times, and it was a slow process. But once I started to see results I became more and more optimistic. My therapist was patient with me, reassured me that there was an end in sight, and constantly went above and beyond to make sure that I was able to make a full recovery. Weeks later, I tried throwing a softball again, and did so with NO PAIN. I cannot even describe the happiness and the smile that was on my face after that first throw! My goal was to be able to get back into playing competitively, and my therapist made sure that would happen for me. I recently just finished my softball season where my team competed in Nationals in Connecticut, and finished in 9th place out of 37 teams at the World Series tournament in Florida.I was able to avoid surgery AND get back to playing softball. I couldn't be happier!

"I had been dealing with pain in both elbows for over 2 years. I had surgery on my right elbow and did not want surgery for my left elbow because of how much downtime and recovery.I tried PT with another group and I had no results in over a year.After researching other facilities, I found Back in Motion. I learned that they offered dry-needling, and I thought to myself if that does not work then I will have no choice but to have surgery.After a few months at Back in Motion I no longer have any pain and I feel like a new man!"Read more

I broke my leg sliding into the base in baseball. I had to sit out of all the summer activities this summer and had to sit out of football too! I couldn't ride my skateboard or even run. The hardest part was not running though. Because of Back in Motion I can ride my skateboard and run, which is my favorite thing to do! My favorite part about coming to Back in Motion was making new friends!Read more

I am a 71 year-old woman who has had several health issues in the past year and needed therapy. Just before Thanksgiving I had a spinal release on my lower back. I started therapy 2 weeks after my surgery and I was released today.My recovery has been long and difficult.The therapists at the Dexter office have helped so much. About 3 weeks ago I was ready to give up, and they wouldn't let me! They provided me with a home program and with what I was doing at the office I have made a great recovery. They made me do the difficult things to bring about progress in my recovery. I have gained flexibility and strength that I thought was lost forever. As I get older, there are some limitations that I need to accept, however our bodies have the ability to heal. At the Dexter brand of Back in Motion, they encourage you to reach goals that you may think are impossible.Thank you to all who helped with my recovery. If you think things will not improve, take heart because my therapist can help you reach higher than you can imagine! Thank you ALL!Read more
