Groschan & Associates Physical Therapy

I feel so grateful that my physical therapist is Sarah Blanchard. I could not have been seen by a wiser professional. Sarah is patient, kind, responsible and a great listener. She has a positive, healing presence. Janice M.

As a practicing dentist for over 10 years I have had a few back aches from time to time...Comes along with the territory.nHowever, about two years ago I began experiencing lower back pain to the point where it became almost constant. After just living with and doing nothing about it, it was time to address it.nnI have known Jim for over 8 years. He is a warm, likable guy....Very easy to get long with. I was also fully aware of his excellent reputation.nnI was able to get in right away and had my consultation with Jim. It lasted a full hour in which I received his undivided attention. I remember it very well because In this day and age of medicine, this is (sadly) rare.nnMy next visit was with Jim’s daughter Emily. Just like her father, she is warm, friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. Between those two visits, I had a diagnosis and a plan...More importantly, one I could fully understand (they took their time and made sure I did).nnFrom here we went to work: First twice a week and then down to once as things improved. All told, it was about two months of therapy and while difficult at times, especially in the beginning, I enjoyed the sessions and even looked forward to them.nnIn addition to the incredible on-site treatment, Emily provided me with at home exercises - Introducing them one at a time as to not to overwhelm me (to the point where I might quit keeping up). Their importance paramount, she stressed.nnBecause of this, I have become more accountable - Taking better care of myself and I even developed a routine at home to keep me in line.nnI have been completely pain free and truly now realize what it is like to really feel good.nnI would also like to mention that their office manager Sarah is fantastic as well.nnIf you are having any physical ailments, you will not find a better care anywhere else. I would recommend Groschan PT and Associates without hesitation.nnChris Stuzynski

Appointments are are always on time.nStuart

I spent the last seven weeks in twice-weekly visits with Melissa Blank for help in alleviating a balance problem.nnMelissa has a wonderful combination of professional knowledge, energy and empathy. I am confident that if I keep up the exercises she taught me, I'll be able to maintain the excellent progress I've made. I was particularly impressed, during my last visit, with the pains she took to encourage me to be in touch with her, if I ever had any questions or concerns.

I wanted to let you know my progress 5 months out from partial knee replacement surgery. Trying to be a good consumer, I did a great deal of research prior to my surgery. Without exception, every piece of information I reviewed indicated that post-surgery Physical Therapy (PT) is the most important component to successful outcomes.nnThe PT group associated with the surgical group was not going to be able to have me begin PT until 5-6 days post surgery! I expressed this concern to my surgeon who put me in touch with Jim at Groschan & Associates Physical Therapy. I feel extremely fortunate to have made that connection!nnEven though my therapy was self-pay (due to my medical plan), it was worth every penny. I have had previous PT experiences that were much less helpful than the PT I received with Groschan. In those previous situations, I would meet with the therapist for about 10 minutes and then they would take me off to a machine, flex bands, or some other device and after showing me what to do, let me just work on my own. With Jim and company, I was never ‘on my own’ working an exercise. Each new building block of exercises was built on previous sessions, completely explained, and I was observed every step of the way. Refinements were made where needed and the therapists made sure I was doing everything correctly.nnInitial sessions were 3 times per week and then gradually scaled back. I ‘graduated’ from PT 2 months after surgery and continue to work on the exercises I was given. My progress is excellent and just went on a hilly 5 mile hike yesterday with no problems. I’m convinced that while the surgery was important, the follow-up PT was really the key to getting my knee back in shape.nnThanks to all the folks at Groschan & Associates!nnBob Hood
