Kessler Rehabilitation Center

My pain management doctor prescribed physical therapy for my neck/​arm pain after a cortisone shot in my neck last week. I have herniated discs, pinched nerves & arthritis in my neck… ow! I had used another Kessler Rehab location over a year ago for similar pain. This location is about 2 blocks past the Union County Orthopedic building on St. George Ave. (in the laundromat parking lot). This facility is smaller, cleaner, friendlier & much more personalized! I met their physical therapist, Charlie last night. I expected to be sent to the machines & to do the typical exercises I did last year.
Even though I was pre-​evaluated, Charlie went over my paperwork with me & reconfirmed my areas of pain. He gently moved my head around & felt my neck & back to be sure he knew exactly what was causing my pain. He had me do some stretching & movements that made no sense to me, but he patiently explained why. I did a few minutes on a bike & then back to some stretching, manipulation, stimulation pads & heat. I felt SO much better when my session was over! I was hoping that therapy would eventually help alleviate this horrible pain I was experiencing and I was pleasantly surprised. I highly recommend Charlie as a very experienced & gifted therapist. He’s been doing this for 42 years, so this is not someone right out of school. He made me very comfortable & even had me laughing throughout my visit. There is a woman therapist there (her name escapes me) who was also very thorough, sweet & gentle. Their receptionist, Nickie, welcomes you with a smile too. I look forward to my next visit and to one step closer to being pain-​free!
