My Best Patient Letter Ever

Given to me from my 13 year old chronic back pain Pt:

Thanks for helping me with my back as much as possible.

Your help made a huge impact.

I will never forget the talks we had while in PT.

If it’s okay with you, could we go out for ice cream sometime and talk?

I never thought physical therapy could be fun!

I am so grateful you got to be my therapist.

With Love…
