Success Stories...


​In 2017 I fell down a flight of stairs.  At that time, I broke a rib on the left side.  Fast forward to 2018, I started having stabbing, burning pain in my stomach cavity.  After months of going to the doctor she suggested going to physical therapy with Todd. Within 3 sessions the pain had improved immensely.  Now after 12 sessions I am completely able to sleep through the night and resume normal activity.

I was in TERRIBLE CONDITION! Severe pain in arms, shoulders, and neck. Shawna was absolutely wonderful!
Thank you So much!

I believe that things in my body have loosened up and I am better.  I will continue PT in Arizona and return to Freedom Physical Therapy if I feel like I need more.  After my major back fusion, it has been hard to get better.  I chose Freedom on advice from a former patient and it was the best PT I have gotten.

When I first came to Freedom Physical Therapy, I was in extreme pain with sciatica pain. This pain began as soon as I awoke from a total knee replacement. The pain at times was unbearable.  My therapist, Dr. Todd Pollock, worked tirelessly throughout my sessions to alleviate the pain I was experiencing. He was extremely knowledgeable, skillful, courteous, concerned, and caring. I will be forever grateful for the care he gave and for getting me back on my feet. I am also appreciative of his wonderful staff. They were always kind, courteous, and encouraging. Blessings to all!

I wish to thank Shawna Cooper and Freedom Physical Therapy for the professional, personal, and effective care I received in May, June, and July of 2019. I entered therapy with knee and hip pain that hampered my daily activities and made climbing stairs or walking uphill nearly impossible. Under Shawna’s guidance, I learned exercises and ways of moving that gradually diminished the pain, and I expect the pain will diminish more as I continue the program on my own. I am particularly impressed with Shawna’s questioning and listening skills, her willingness to explain what was going on, and her friendly, upbeat attitude.
The office is a pleasant and positive place to visit, starting with the friendly reception offered by Joy and the other personnel, and extending to the cleanliness and comfort of the waiting area, treatment rooms, and exercise room. If I need PT again, I will ask to be referred to Freedom Physical Therapy & Sports Rehabilitation.

I had 4 vertebrae fused together. Before it was hard to walk, bend over or put my clothes on.
Six months after surgery, I’m more myself than in about 2 years or more. 
I still have my days, but most are completely without pain.
Thank you Ben and Todd

I came to Freedom Physical Therapy with severe lower back pain and right leg pain. I had previously been to back and spine specialists who referred me to their choice of therapists.
After four months of unsuccessfully doing their exercises, with no pain relief in either my back or leg I left... I went back to my Primary Doctor who referred me to Dr. Todd Pollock at Freedom Physical Therapy (FPT). After Dr. Pollock’s excellent evaluation of my back and leg, and following his three months of therapy, I’m no longer having any pain in either my back or leg. This was all accomplished in less than three months. I am forever grateful for the care I received at FPT, and would highly recommend FPT to anyone with physical therapy issues.
-Dennis Gease                         May 10, 2019
   
My left arm brought me to FPT. After a fall, I had assumed a Napoleon-like pose because of limited mobility AND because doing normal things with my arm was difficult and painful. The diagnosis was impingement. I chose FPT because of Todd’s great reputation in the community.
It was my first experience with PT and I really had no idea what to expect. Myofascial therapy was a term that was new to me. Ben Morris, the new guy, was my PT. His patience, willingness to answer questions and to explain my treatment in terms that I could understand were helpful and inspired me to work harder on MY part of the therapy that took place at home.
When I reach for my seatbelt or put a shirt on over my head, I am very grateful. These simple actions were not possible to do prior to my treatment.  
Thanks to the whole team at Freedom Physical Therapy. The first face I encountered most days was Joy- and she truly is. FPT also has a great reminder service and that meant I didn’t miss a single appointment. 
If I ever need PT again, I will choose FPT and highly recommend you to others.

I have had a wonderful experience of effective and pleasant Physical Therapy with Shawna Cooper for the last 2 ½ months. I had a compression fracture of my tibia bone at the femur and I was shown very doable techniques to allow me to stay off my leg for 8 weeks. At the same time, I received therapy to relieve pain and gain strength and mobility. The staff are all competent and friendly.  
-Jane Misner   1-19-19
 
My left hip hurt a fair amount of the time. My hip no longer hurts. I have learned a lot about my posture and ways I can improve. I feel working with Shawna has been so beneficial. It amazes me that the help she has given me allows me to move better and be aware of how to stand, sit, etc. so much better. Thanks, Shawna.
-Patricia A. Youngren-08-19
 
I first went to Freedom Physical Therapy two years ago for treatment for hip pain. When no progress was being made, my therapist referred me back to my primary care giver. Examinations and x-rays showed I needed a hip replacement. After surgery, I returned to Freedom Physical Therapy for 8 weeks of effective therapy sessions. My therapist’s explanations of what was happening to my body as it tried to recover from surgery helped me focus my efforts and endure what were often painful therapy sessions. Freedom Physical Therapy helped me regain my strength and range of motion ahead of schedule. My doctor was pleased.
-Lorlie Shield  12-20-18
 
I was in a car accident 6 years ago, which left me with a back injury. The pain increased in my back without activity. The headaches increased in intensity as well as frequency. Shawna has been very good with postural changes and exercises which have simply gotten me moving again. I plan to continue core building through exercising and increasing my energy level with movement. I am forever grateful for her professional knowledge and gentle (well mostly-smile) care.
-Karen Kuchinski        12-12-18
 
I came in with some chronic hamstring tightness that made it tough to stay healthy. What Todd was able to do in the short period of time was mind blowing. He helped get rid of all the tightness so now I am feeling better than I ever have. Thanks so much! The knowledge and training tools learned from the sessions will serve me well for the rest of my athletic career and life after athletics. I highly recommend Freedom Physical Therapy to anyone looking to be healthier and pain free.
-Paul Steffensen          1-07-19
 
After 2ndmassive should surgery on June 26, 2017, I was experiencing pain and limited ROM when I began PT. After PT sessions pain is close to being completely gone with no need for pain medication. Range of motion has improved to 100% of what it was from pre-surgery, with the exception of external rotation. Strength is rebuilding and should improve with routine home exercise and time. Thank you!! 
Best physical therapy I have found. In a professional friendly manner staff and therapists are top notch.
-Robert Vierck            10-29-18
 
Freedom Physical Therapy- just another PT appointment, right? Wrong!!! 

Todd has a gift! His technique has certainly helped relieve my injury discomfort along with some other painful areas I had resigned to living with.
While this injury may not be completely healed, the pain level is substantially better.
Thanks, Dr. Todd! And the support staff is awesome. I highly recommend Freedom Physical Therapy. 
-Christina A. Freden   6-23-18
 
I started my treatment with Freedom Physical Therapy roughly four months ago. I was the victim of a vicious vehicle collision at the beginning of the year. After more than twelve x-rays, two MRIs, and a recommendation to see a spine specialist, I met with my physical therapist to treat the injuries I sustained.
I was honestly skeptical at first, having zero experience with, as well as having never heard of the method of treatment that I came to Freedom PT twice a week to receive. As the weeks and appointments continued, my pain and difficulty persisted but slowly began declining with each of my visits, and exercises I performed in my own time.
By my final three or four visits it was obvious to my physical therapist and myself that my treatment was quite successful. My difficulty, pain and overall outlook had vastly improved. I am very thankful to Freedom Physical Therapy! With their immense help I feeling better than I did in over half a year and am able to live every day feeling confident in my physical activities- whether at work or play!
-Kyle Eshleman           August 2, 2018
 
The pain was limiting and my quality of daily life was severely affected. Thru the understanding and expertise of the staff my pain levels and function returned within a few treatments and I was then able to regain my quality of life. I truly see this treatment center as a healing oasis. This community is lucky. 
-Carol Baumer            10-18-18 
 
Ben was awesome!  Super helpful and now I am pain free!!
-Sarah Drury   10-17-18
 
When I first started PT I had an inflamed IT band. My left knee was swollen, tight and I was having pain. I had lost some Flexion of my knee since my TKR. Todd was able to break up the scar tissue, enabling my patella to start moving and the skin around my scar to loosen. I was extremely pleased and amazed how much increased flexion that I have gained. Todd’s ability to explain and teach as he is doing therapy is excellent. He is sensitive to my level of discomfort during therapy and is frequently checking to see how well I am tolerating it. Some of the exercises were out of my comfort zone but I trusted his judgment and felt safe. Todd along with his staff is professional and friendly. That environment, office, treatment rooms and staff are welcoming and comfortable. I would highly recommend Freedom PT especially after a TKR.  I only wish that I had come sooner.
-Judy Downs             09-27-18
 

I could not walk up the slightest incline without pain. I had to go up & down stairs one leg at a time. My lower back, hip and right leg had constant, sometimes excruciating pain whether I was sitting, standing or walking. I was a mess physically and it wearing me down mentally and emotionally. With the physical therapy from Todd Pollock and a few fun exercises (that I will continue for the rest of my life) I received a new lease on life! Thank you Todd and all your staff! PS. They have the best coffee in town!
-Laraine Kay Aber      09-11-18

 
When I was referred to Todd my lifestyle of activity was limited by pain in my knee. Hiking, biking, hunting, even doing yardwork and cutting wood was not the enjoyable experience it once was. Upon the first visit Todd assured me that I can get all that back and I am too young to have surgery as an option. The visits were uncomfortable physically at times but I know it was temporary as I learned how to do exercises on my own. And a nice sauna after therapy helped heal even faster. The knowledge I gained about myself through Todd’s therapy helped me understand and gain insight on how to remain healthy. Foremost he was interested in me being a whole person. I loved how he told me not to quit hiking but know your limitations and be smart about it. I have my active life back without the pain I once had. My body now has its confidence back. Thanks Todd. Happy Trails!
-Brad Nyquist               06-27-18
 
I could barely move and had a great deal of pain. I now find I can move much better and a bunch less pain. Todd P. really knows the body and how to make it work for you not against you.
-Pamela Hansen         06-19-18
 
I was scared to do my normal activities due to my knee feeling like it was going to pop out. Now I can do most of what I want without thinking about it.
-Shana Peterson          05-29-18
 
I came to Freedom Physical Therapy at my doctor’s recommendation with a lot of “traveling” pain from old injuries and from scoliosis. Todd is the best, and helped my body heal through on-going fascial manipulation. This relieved me from pain and has continued to be beneficial for me as I now find I can work out harder with less pain. I would and already have recommended Freedom Physical Therapy as the place to go for physical therapy. Thank you!

I came in post shoulder surgery with almost no usability in my arm. Thanks to my therapist, Todd Pollock, I quickly regained much of my range of motion and strength.
Gabriel Smith              4-2-18
 
I first saw Todd back in 2015. I was only able to see him for a few weeks due to changes in insurance but in a short amount of time I went from being in so much pain for 10 years that I could not work & ate ibuprofen and muscle relaxers all day, to virtually NO PAIN! I was able to see him again in 2017-2018, almost ALL my pain was resolved. I no longer consider myself “disabled”-far from it! I no longer take ibuprofen or muscle relaxers. Freedom from pain! Seeing Todd has Truly changed my life!
Laurie Booth               3-27-18
 
My physical therapy treatments with Shawna began because of shoulder pain that an MRI showed were labral tears and a bicep tendon tear. I had nerve pain and sharp pains with normal daily movements. My range of motion was limited and performing single tasks, such as shampooing my hair, were painful. I also heard snapping or popping sounds, and I had an over-all feeling of tightness in my arm. After 6 weeks of PT, I have virtually no pain and my range of motion is close to 100%. At each therapy session, Shawna did a lot of hands-on soft tissue work and showed me exercises to do at home. She stressed that correct posture is important and she was always so encouraging. Shawna’s magic touch and the exercises she gave me were the right combination needed so I could be free of the pain in my shoulder and arm. I am very happy with the results. Thanks to Shawna and to the entire team at Freedom Physical Therapy for making this a good experience.
Laurie Marta   3-7-18
 
When I came to Freedom Physical Therapy in November, I was experiencing right leg pain that had persisted and worsened for several months. I also had low back and hip discomfort that I had just learned to manage for several years, which was worsened by sitting and driving. Todd assessed and correctly diagnosed the cause within the first 2 therapy sessions. He persisted and encouraged me to continue therapy, fascial manipulation, until my symptoms were completely gone! It has been several weeks since my last therapy session, and I feel even better than I did when my therapy was completed. My posture is improving and my core is getting stronger as a result of the exercises and habit corrections Todd taught me as well. I can’t say enough to praise and appreciate his dedication and expertise, and his godly approach to treating his clients. The entire experience was one for which I am thankful. I have a quality of life that I did not think I would have again. Thanks, Freedom Physical Therapy! Thanks Todd!
Karen Davis     3-3-18
 
I was injured in a motor vehicle accident in October of 2016. In April of 2017, I began physical therapy at Freedom Physical Therapy. Before beginning physical therapy with Todd. I could barely turn my neck and had constant pain. Todd restored to me my mobility and I am very thankful for his expertise and care. I’m back to enjoying my life and my grandchildren. Thank you!
Elizabeth Cooper         2-19-18
 
Words cannot express the gratitude I feel for Todd and his team. I have suffered with back pain for most of my life and never before have I had a medical professional invest so much time, energy and compassion into my treatment. The office staff are very friendly, accommodating and always go the extra mile. Todd not only helped me physically, but mentally and spiritually as well. I will be forever grateful to Todd and Freedom Physical Therapy and would highly recommend their services. You will not be disappointed.

My movement had improved greatly. It has been a great help.
Mark Tuter      2-15-18
 
When I first started seeing Todd I was in unbearable pain. Although now, I know better, I thought this was going to be a waste of time. Well, here I am 6 weeks later and feel much better now than I did 6 weeks ago. Todd and the staff at Freedom Physical Therapy were very professional and made my appointments as fun and relaxing as they could be!
Clyde Reynolds           2-2-18
 
A few months after an accident I began experiencing constant pain and discomfort in my neck, shoulders, mid and lower back. Every activity was painful. Just as an example; I would have to reposition myself fire or six times just to get out of bed. I saw my doctor and expressed that I wanted to permanently heal my injury without surgery, prescriptions or over the counter medicines. My doctor referred me to Todd Pollock. Dr. Pollock completed a very detailed assessment, thoroughly described my condition and the treatment, answered my question and he was quick to get to work right away. Dr. Pollock provided me with suggestions for lifestyle changes to include exercises, stretches, and suggestions to improve my posture. The effectiveness of treatment is outstanding and permanent! It has been a long time since I have had difficulty getting out of bed, sweeping the floor, lifting/carrying, driving, etc. This treatment was successful!
Kimberly Ivarie            1-9-18
 
I came to Freedom Physical Therapy 3 weeks ago. I was a post meniscus surgery patient. 80% plus of my daily activity was with pain in the 7-9 range (with 10 being the worst pain). After 3 weeks with Todd I now get through my days 90% pain free and the 10% pain is from 1-3. I look forward to being totally pain free soon. Todd was very professional, very knowledgeable, accommodating, personable, up-to-date, and effective while treating me.
Michael Chase            12-20-17
 
I am thankful that you were able to work me into the schedule. My shoulder was very painful and kept me awake – limited motion. It feels so much better now. Todd helped me and my posture and I’m sitting straighter also.
Sharon Rogers            12-21-17

Didn’t seem to take very long to fix the problem! Shawna seemed to work well with the pain I was in and it dramatically changed within a couple of weeks. No more pain besides a little soreness, which is great! Thanks
Amber Dion         12/21/17
 
I have had chronic lower pain for many years, this last year my lower back went out four times. I saw Todd and he was amazing in what he does. I feel better, have more strength overall and the pain is gone. I haven’t felt this good since my early 20s.
James Titus           12/18/17
 
I’m seventy-seven years old and I have seen Todd in the past with great results, so when my doctor suggested physical therapy for my right hip pain, I immediately replied that I’d like to go to Freedom Physical Therapy to see Todd…. I’m feeling much better now and have exercises to do daily that help a lot. Todd and Diane are both caring people who treat everyone with kindness. Todd’s expertise in his field and his keeping me informed as to why I hurt in a certain area and comforting me through the pain is priceless in my opinion.
Priscilla Wolf      11/30/17
 
After 3 car accidents in 1 year, I was a mess. After my therapy, I am now 90%! I could hardly move and now I have most of my mobility back!
Holly Malone      11/27/17
 
From the start to the end, 100% change in pain. From a constant unrelenting pain to just occasional pain is beyond what I can express. Thank you!
Teri Langston      11/21/17
 
When I first came in it was hard for me to even complete a cross country race without having a terrible side spasm that would decrease my performance by a lot. Now I am able to run and train with NO pain, and am able to run in the top group with all racers again.
Riana Boonstra  11/21/17
 
When I arrived at Freedom PT my elbow hurt so much I was limited in what I could do. I love to swim and it was being compromised. I also was not able to lift a cup of tea without feeling my elbow hurt. It ached a lot. Shawna felt a lot of my problem stemmed from my poor posture and past shoulder injuries that prevented me from using my entire arm correctly. Consequently, my elbow would take a lot of the strain. Shawna not only treated the pain in my elbow, she instructed me in how to have better posture. All of this to aid in the prevention of further injuries. The pain in my elbow is greatly decreased. It no longer aches and I am able to use it much more. It has been said, “Those who hold the pain of others, hold the power to heal”. I believe that both Shawna and Todd are healers. Thank you very much Freedom Physical Therapy.
Meg Zerbinos      11/9/17
 
It hurt to jog, in fact I couldn’t jog from the car to the store (50 feet) without considerable pain in my right cheek (bum). After 6 sessions with Todd, I’m good for distance jogging. Still hurts a little if I sit on hard chairs but way less than before. Unfortunately, I’m headed South for a while so I have to suspend treatment.
Charlie See            11/8/17
 
I feel so much better than when I came in. Thank you so much.
Carol Titus            11/8/17
 
Intense swallowing difficulties; pain in throat, face and jaw. Having had a history of a failed stomach tube, I knew I had to release the swallowing difficulties with a method that would help me regain this. I was right; within 3-4 sessions I was able to actually eat and swallow food again. This truly restored me to health.
Carol A Baumer  11/7/17
 
Yes, my arm/shoulder was hurting a lot. When I came in and my range of motion was minimal. Now I have full range of motion and little discomfort. I also have learned life changing exercises to help for the rest of my life. I highly recommend and respect Dr. Todd as physical therapist and person.
Bonnie Kane         10/4/17
 
When I first came to see Dr. Todd, my mobility was severely impaired. I was in severe pain and walked with a significant limp. After an in-depth assessment, I received education on the physiology of my condition, treatment, and follow up with strength and flexibility training. As a result, and in a very short time, I am pain free. My mobility is fully restored. I would recommend Dr. Todd, with no reservation, to anyone who is in need of physical therapy.
Angie Hamm-Brinkerhoff                  9/22/17
 
 
When I came in to see Dr. Pollock, I was unaware of activities and exercises that I was doing could be causing pain, in turn being counter-productive to my progress. He helped show me exercises as well as form to prevent further injury…. Dr. Pollock was an excellent communicator in going through every reason and explanation of movement, exercises and success. I was able to understand and comprehend easily why my pain was happening, along with how to bypass that and turn the movement into a non-painful, productive one. I am very grateful for my time with him in being able to go forward with productive knowledge and exercises for the future. Instead of blindly doing the exercises, I now know correct form and how it will affect my muscles for the most positive outcome and successful workout possible.
Shalene Wheeler                 8/29/17
 
I was limited in everyday activities and had to think about what/how to do them. I felt weak doing most things and worried about making my condition worse. I feel stronger and more confident now but also relieved while doing everyday activities. The peace of mind is amazing! I was inundated with how NOT to do exercises (via internet reading) which made me so scared to do anything. I wouldn’t do it any other way if I had to do it again- the instructions and help offered here has been amazing.
Leaha Brown       8-31-17
 
Todd and his staff are the best. They do care about you and your life.
Leon Marcinkowski           8-30-17
 
I had surgery for a torn ACL and meniscus tear. Todd helped me regain lost strength and muscle tone. He was amazing at finding and eliminating the sources of pain so that I could focus on increasing my knee’s range of motion and continue improving. Now I can do most of what I could before my injury and hope to make a full recovery with time.
JoEllen Fowler    8-17-17
 
… I was in severe pain due to my “frozen shoulder” or adhesive capsulitus. I was unable to sleep well, dressing was hard, showering or household chores were very difficult, working in my yard or doing anything I enjoyed. I spent many hours on my couch with ice just to ease the pain. Any abrupt movement or hitting my arm on anything would just cause me to double over in pain. Todd Pollock evaluated my shoulder and was very considerate, kind and knowledgeable in my type of injury. I was amazed at what Todd knows and how he started working on getting my shoulder to release…. I was so thrilled that I could be out in my yard working, dressing without pain, doing household chores and the other many things I couldn’t before. I… am now graduated from physical therapy and am continuing home exercising and strengthening of my shoulder. I am so thankful for Todd, Shawna and receptionist Betsy at Freedom Physical Therapy. They are a blessing and I recommend them to everyone if they are looking for qualified physical therapists.
Nancy Myers        8-11-17
 
It was an amazing, transformational experience of healing! I experienced my treatments as almost miraculous, considering how long I have been carrying pain. My deepest gratitude goes out to Shawna and crew. I will always remember her work and benefits to me and my family. I will recommend her to everyone I know!
Eliza Eller                                 8-8-17
 
I walk straighter and taller and with less pain than before therapy. The treatments that were the most uncomfortable produced the best results. I totally recommend Todd Pollock and his practice.
Larry Poage        7-16-17
 
When I first came in I was in extreme pain from an accident several years ago. After several sessions with Todd I no longer have the back pain and I am able to move freely. I would highly recommend this treatment for anyone that has pain.
Carol Kincaid      7-31-17
 
I came to see Shawna for left hip pain area that was constant…. After seeing her and doing my “tool box” remedies, I can say that the area has greatly improved …. Thank you, Shawna, for all your hard work, time and patience. You are awesome and will be recommended. And Ms. Betsy thank you for your wonderful job of my scheduling and nice chats! Go Freedom Physical Therapy. You rock- I’m a fan!
Joanie Morris      7-31-17
 
I came in to see Shawna and I was in a lot of pain. I felt like my scoliosis was getting worse. I am doing so much better. I was given the tools, exercises, stretches and therapy. Doing so much better. Very caring people. They really care about you.
Theresa Morrison               7-25-17
 
When I first arrived to see Shawna, I was in constant pain every day. Working was hard, and I couldn’t do any of the recreational things I loved to do. I was frustrated and discouraged and I was letting my health decline because the pain and inflammation was too much. After a few treatments, much of the heat and swelling was gone in my leg…. I can be active after working all day and for several hours. I can hop on both feet and I can go up and down stairs comfortably. I am significantly improved and now I am able to care for myself.
Tiare Hansen        7-20-17
 
I had a complete knee replacement when I came to see Shawna Cooper for physical therapy. I also had many complications due to allergic reactions and swelling from my surgery. Shawna worked hard to make my recovery go as smoothly as possible. She gave me lots of encouragement and exercises to do at home to make my recovery go as quickly as possible. This was my third time to see Shawna for physical therapy. I would come to her again in the future for any of my needs.
Teresa Elmore     7-11-17
 
I’m able to walk without pain more and longer after treatment with Shawna. Best benefit is the exercises I’ve been shown which I will continue in the future to keep this from reoccurring.
Robert Stiver       6-30-17
 
Shawna made physical therapy easy to understand and the therapy was spot on with my back issues. Everyone on staff is great.
Terry Vaught        6-29-17
 
I was having back spasms and tightness in the upper left region of my back. The spasms quite a few times caused me to buckle to the ground and last for minutes. Upon my first appointment with Shawna I discovered my poor posture was a factor. I also had limited movement in areas that should have had more movement and flexibility. The physical therapy and at home exercises increased my movement and helped my posture thus reducing my pain and spasms to minimal to none. The physical therapy also helped improve and maximize my gym workouts to perform better. I was very appreciative for all Shawna did to help.
Ashley Wessels   6-21-17
 
Came in following a right total knee replacement. I was unable to lift my leg or bear weight at that time. I had a great deal of pain and was taking Percocet. Now I can walk up and down stairs. I have resumed gardening and housework and only take Advil for occasional pain. I am very impressed with the professionalism and knowledge of the staff and am very pleased with my progress. I highly recommend Freedom Physical Therapy to everyone needing physical therapy. The results have been outstanding.
Phyllis Boskofsky                6-15-17
 
The staff and therapists at Freedom are professional, compassionate, friendly and very helpful. Dr. Todd knew exactly what to do to relieve my pain. By continuing the exercises at home and in his office, I became able to move my shoulder after a very bad rotator cuff surgery. I’m so much stronger because of the care I have received here. I am very satisfied with my experience with Dr. Todd, I highly recommend Freedom Physical Therapy. Thank you for all you have done for me.
Patti J. Kittleson-Curry   6-8-17
 
I had very limited mobility due to tightness and pain in my shoulders, upper neck, lower back and right abdomen area. My activities were getting limited and sleep was horrible. After treatments and recommendations for future stretches and activities, I am way better!! Sleep is back to normal and I can now play with my daughter and do all exercises and activities with no problems. Thank you very much!
Holly Lewis      6-7-17
 
When I first saw Shawna, I was in so much pain with my neck/shoulders. I tried massage therapy and chiropractic adjustments for over a year with very little relief. Shawna helped me in so many ways. She is so great at what she does and really shows compassion for her patients. She listens to you intently and takes such good care of her patients. I was at a loss when I first came here and wasn’t able to do recreational activities or work without being in pain. Shawna did the manual manipulation and I kept up on my exercises and we both (I’m going to say mostly her, I had so many knots and tension) got me healed. She’s such a wonderful person and I’ll miss seeing her. Thank you again so much Shawna. You’re awesome.
-Heather Drake                     5-25-17
 
My condition was painful due to arthritis. Shawna’s treatments eased the pain. The exercises she gave me have allowed me to maintain the lifestyle I want with much less pain. I appreciate her expertise, her compassionate manner and her caring attitude. Thank you.
Meg Zerbinos      5-17-17

I had grown up with literal “pain in the neck” and resigned myself to just living with the seemingly erratic nature of my discomfort. After a fall exacerbated the issue, a referral to Freedom Physical Therapy led me to Shawna Cooper and a change in my thinking about chronic pain. I learned some root causes of and exercises to help alleviate the pain, as well as a sense of understanding my role in sustained recovery.

When I began therapy, I could not walk far, bend, squat or sit for long periods of time. Within weeks I was able to sit for longer periods of time. By the end of therapy, I can walk quickly and for long periods of time without hurting. I’m able to squat at work without pain and needing help up. I can’t wait to hike in Denali again!

Todd helped find the source of and solve my knee pain. I tried three doctors and two physical therapists before Todd. He was the only one who could help.
-Matt Weber                                   5-9-17
 
I had shoulder replacement surgery and today I am five months out and being released. Therapy got me ready to do my own exercises at home. Very pleased.
-Ann Oehler                          5-8-17
 
Todd did an amazing job helping me to regain my strength and flexibility after knee surgery. This is a unique physical therapy experience, connecting all the dots to wholeness. I highly recommend this treatment to get “up and running” fast after surgery. The staff is also great-just a whole super experience.
-Loretta Spalding                5-3-17
 
When I first came here I had a lot of unknown circulatory and postural issues. My hands and arms would go numb and tingle with the slightest of movement and lifting. I had limited mobility in a lot of my body and joints. Working with Shawna, we have worked out a lot of the kinks and softened up a lot of hardened tissue. She has helped me regain a lot of my mobility back. Shawna is a great therapist who listened to my situation, unlike a lot of other doctors. She has also worked with me to unravel a lot of the unknowns and helped to relieve a lot of pain and tension. She is highly recommended. Thank you.
-Robin Lee                3-23-17
 
In the last 3 months, I have had my back fused and total right knee replacement. I give Todd full credit for preparing me to return to normal activities. While my surgeons did a great job, Todd worked with me to get me moving again. With his knowledge, I could come in and tell him what and where I was feeling [pain and restriction]…. What I am trying to say is he treated my whole body, not just the one part. I am very thankful for his treatment of me and assisting me to heal. He has a wonderful staff and very clean clinic/ office. Thanks Todd!

I started seeing Todd four months for pain, weakness, numbness and tingling from my upper left ribs and shoulder to my fingers. I’ve been dealing with this for over 30 years and the past few have become significantly worse, interfering with my daily functioning as a mother, wife, business owner, and active community member. The body is so intricately and wonderfully made that pain and problems can’t be pinpointed to just one spot normally. He was able to unbind years of irritated fascia in my neck, ribs and back that have been prohibiting me from functioning at 100%. Instead of numbness arriving within 5 seconds, it takes 40 seconds or longer and in some areas, it is completely gone. Not only has Todd attained fascial release but has also taught me lifelong skills for posture, stretching and muscle tone that should put me on track for minimal pain for the rest of my life. I’m so thankful for Freedom Physical Therapy for getting me physically functioning and back on track.
-Traci Gonzalez                   3-21-17
 
I requested to see Todd for pain and limited movement (ROM) in my neck. Now after therapy, combining different types of therapy, my pain level has decreased. Movement has improved and increased. My normal daily activities have greatly improved. Thank you, Todd.
-Kris Couveau                       3-21-17

Todd is an amazing doctor and treated me very well. He has extensive knowledge and applies it very well. I recommend Freedom Physical Therapy to anyone in need of any rehabilitation. The entire staff is very welcoming and made me feel right at home.
-Jessica Hanna                     3-16-17
 
When I first came to Freedom PT, I was having daily pain after having a baby, bending over to pick her up. Chronic back and neck pain with headaches that was not improving with chiropractic care. After 5 visits I move better, have no pain with picking up my baby and having [the] daily pain I was experiencing from old sports injuries. Thank you, Todd!
-Kelly Hall                  3-15-17
 
I came in with a reoccurring issue and had previously tried a couple other methods. I was open minded but skeptical in the beginning and was pleasantly surprised to leave each session with a new perspective about treating the body as a whole- and evidence each time that backed this theory up. I’m so grateful to see and feel the progress! Thank you!
-Tasha Grossl                       3-9-17
 
In the treatment of pain, as an osteopathic physician, I believe that the single best treatment is mobilization of fascia. The team at Freedom P.T. are experts and professionals in this area. It is simply amazing what they accomplished with my patients and me personally. I am pain free and highly functional. Thanks, Todd, Shawna, and the entire team! You are life changers!
Kim E. Thiele, DO  2/2/17
 
My left knee was in moderate pain on a regular basis and my calf was very tight which restricted my ability to walk easily, especially up and down stairs. After PT with Todd, I am currently able to move about and up and down stairs very fluidly. It truly lifts the spirit and makes life so much more enjoyable. I was truly amazed at the method Todd used to treat my knee. He is a very serious and dedicated student of his profession and he has shown me just how truly we are fearfully and wonderfully made by a truly awesome Creator God.
Tom Marok   1/19/17
 
When I first started, I felt the pain every day whether I was actively doing something or not, it was especially agitating while trying to sleep. Now I can lie down and roll from side to side which I’ve always done in order to get comfortable without the pain streaking through my arm…. This physical therapy has been a big help and I would highly recommend it to anyone with a problem like mine. Good job, Todd.
Tom Patmor   1/19/17
 
Coming to you, my days were often filled with neck muscle tightness and headaches that frequently woke me at night. While I could fall asleep, I would often awake with my arms, one or both, feeling tingly or completely “asleep”…. After just the first visit, I was pretty much free of the headaches and felt a freedom of movement through my mid-section…. I love sleeping at night, more freedom of movement, more days of pain free movement. Thank you so much for this treatment process! I love the attention to every detail of my care— flexible scheduling, music of choice, room temperature— it’s a complete package of focused, detailed patient care. Keep up the good work! The Lord bless you lots.
Elizabeth Nussbaum   1/5/17
 
After my back surgery (Jan 2016) I needed therapy that would get me back on track as soon and simply as possible. Since I would not take any pain meds after surgery I needed someone who would put my health and safety first. I knew I would have pain so I needed someone who would feel my pain and help me through it as if it was their pain as well— Todd Pollock filled that need— Todd helped me back to good health and through the pain very gently. His explanation of what and why he was doing was on my level and that helped me work thru it. Also, at the same time I was in therapy for my back, I was having trouble with my left hip. Todd went to work also finding I had a vascular problem. Through his diagnosis, I was able to go on and get that fixed as well. Now, I am doing great with my back and my hip is fixed as well and I am doing great. I can’t say enough good about Todd and his ability to not only help those he treats, but his sincere want and passion to help those who seek treatment. Todd is sincere in business and heart and I am so grateful for Todd.

The service is excellent and friendly, and the results are amazing. I came in with a knee injury and left with no pain. The process is not enjoyable all of the time, but in the end I left feeling 110% better.
Abby Beck   12/28/16
 
I feel wonderful! Todd has helped me so much, so happy I came to Freedom Physical Therapy! I really have enjoyed being treated here and will not go anywhere else for treatment when needed!  Thanks Todd for everything; it’s so nice to have you in my life!
Millie Vengley   11/16/16
 
I was in constant pain, painful to walk, sit, laying down. I felt like an old beat up man. Now I can function very well, with limited pain. I’m more flexible and have more strength than before. Thank you very much— I’m back!!!
Robert Keith   11/9/16
 
Thanks Todd! My lower back pain is gone.
Michael Meredith  10/31/2016
 
I started at approximately 4 months post partial knee replacement. I was just off crutches prior to first visit. Because of severe pain in left knee and leg after about 5 P.T. treatments including Electro shock therapy I experienced great release of tension and pain and improvement of strength and flexibility. Dr. Pollock is very knowledgeable and professional, communicating in a clear and friendly manner. I would highly recommend Freedom Physical Therapy!
Robert Vierck  10/20/2016
 
I had a nagging discomfort with a strained back muscle that was noticeable getting in and out of car and bed. Since completing treatment I have experienced much less discomfort in getting in and out of bed and car. I appreciate Dr. Pollock’s attention to detail and always helping me understand the methods he is using to help alleviate my symptoms.
Tony Doyle  10/14/2016
 
Wow, what a difference!! From neck surgery to frozen shoulder to having zero pain. I cannot thank you enough.  I arrived from having my neck fused with 10 screws and my shoulder frozen with very low range of motion. Amazing results! I want to thank you for all the care and prayer and friendship everyone (You and Diane) have given to me. I would recommend you to anyone who has need to be free of pain and to learn about how to care for their body. You have taught me a bunch.
Patricia F. Segura  10/06/2016
 
I had reached a point in my life, regarding my pain, that I was going to have this pain for the remainder of my life.  Upon meeting Todd for the first time I got a glimmer of hope that things were going to change for me and I would experience whole health again. I can say, without any hesitation, that I was blessed to have found Todd and his approach to physical therapy, healing, whole body wellness and spiritual wellbeing. I am now totally out of pain and have even been more inspired by my association and “talks” with Todd to find health for my life through body, spirit and mind. I cannot recommend him enough. To have found such a wealth of information and healing has been a blessing and privilege I will always be grateful for. Thank you Todd, and Diane!
Maureen Habe  10/05/2016
 
When I originally came in I was in extreme pain with limited mobility. Over the period of weeks I experienced major improvements each week.  I highly recommend Freedom Physical Therapy to anyone who is looking to get healthy and regain mobility.  I have graduated from my PT program feeling  confident, empowered, healthier and mobile.
Virginia Fraase  9/22/1916

I was totally bent over at my shoulders. Now my core is better and so is my posture.  I was having cramps in my legs and arms, hands and stomach. Now I have no cramping and now don’t get so tired and hunched over.  Todd has made a big difference in my outlook on life and my ability to do more things.  Thanks to Todd I can enjoy life more now!!
Barbara Darsey  9/12/2016


 
Freedom Physical Therapy is absolutely amazing! I’ve had hip problems for about a year, starting in cross country running of 2015 to until I came to Mr. Pollock in 2016. From the first session my hips were instantly relieved and felt better. The pain kept decreasing from each visit until there was no pain.  I can run pain-free now, and I feel better than ever! Freedom Physical Therapy is a warm, welcoming place where you will definitely get the results you want! Mr. Pollock was nothing but wonderful and helpful, and his knowledge is incredible! I get to go into regions at 100%, thank you for that!!

Jaycie Calvert   9/12/2016

 
I had no range of motion when I began Physical Therapy. Now I have most of my range of motion back and I am able to be much more active in my everyday life. I have been coming to Todd for a while now and I’m always very well taken care of. Freedom Physical Therapy has always treated me with the utmost curtesy and kindness.
Darby Milburn  9/14/2016
 
I am a lot better and feel very hopeful about my future in skiing and backpacking. Thanks Todd, for putting me back together again!
Carol Boehmler  8/24/2016
 
I had back pain when playing sports at times and it only took a couple of visits for Todd to fix everything. Very pleased with the improvements!
Kiana Harding  8/17/2016
 
I went from using a walker/cane (walker > cane) daily for almost all activities to hardly needing either of them now. My reconstructed hip’s range of motion improved greatly as did my balance. In summary, I am way better than when I started physical therapy less than a month ago. Todd Pollock, DPT, is an exceptional and gifted therapist who helped me tremendously. I recommend him without any reservations.
Tom Senter, MD 8/16/16
 
I began physical therapy only with the knowledge that I had a persisting injury that needed attention. I’ve ended my final session with a new understanding of my own body and greatly reduced discomfort. The knowledge I gained was plenty enough for me to begin to understand the origins of my injuries and possibly begin to treat them myself if they persist. I am more confident than ever that I will be running pain free in the near future. Thanks to Freedom Physical Therapy for impacting my life in such a positive manner.
Jordan Theisen  8/3/2016
 
After having surgery to repair a slap tear and biceps tendon tear I felt like it would never be the same again. It was so weak and the outlook was bleak. After about four months of treatment by Dr. Pollock I now feel like I’m really close to normal again. He’s instilled a confidence in me beyond my shoulder. I really liked his practical approach, advice and positive attitude. I would give him my highest recommendation.
Travis Wetzel 7/27/16
 
I came to Freedom P.T. with debilitating neck and shoulder pain.  Within an hour I was virtually pain-free and back to full range of motion.  Using Todd’s exercises I have become completely pain-free and with his excellent instruction I plan to remain this way!
You guys are an incredible blessing to me and this community!
Thanks for being there.
Greg Beiser  7/19/16
 
After a very hard fall on ice, Todd has helped me to regain a fuller range of movement.  I am now able to engage in my physical activities without pain and fatigue especially through my neck, shoulders and hips.  My movement is no longer stiff with a full range of movement.

I was extremely concerned how I would recover from shoulder surgery.  I wanted a full return to an active, strenuous lifestyle.  I was surprised at how early therapy started.  I felt confident on day 1 that I was moving forward.  Great protocol for self-motivated recovery, followed the procedures and weaned off of visits to clinic.  100% recovery, ready to “abuse” my body some more.
Karl Kircher  5/26/16

After breaking my collar bone falling down the stairs and recovering from surgery I couldn’t even lift my arm to my keyboard a month ago, now I can lift my arm straight over my head with range of motion that I thought I would never get back.
Thank you Todd!
Angela McGahan  5/26/16
 
I first came to Freedom Physical Therapy after having surgery as a result of dislocating my knee cap.  Every week I went to physical therapy I felt an improvement in both my strength and confidence.  Todd was focused on not only helping me to heal, but on preventing other potential injuries by working with me to understand what had happened in the first place.  I can now dance ballet again, pain free, and with a better understanding of how to take care of myself.
Thank you Todd and Diane!
Molly Mese  5/11/16
 
I appreciate the friendly atmosphere, thorough explanation of the issue and plan & reason for treatment.  My major issue is resolved and I have confidence that if I do my part, the issue will stay resolved.  Thanks!
Larry Semmens  5/10/16
 
When I started, I was 3 months post-op from a 1 level spinal fusion after 20 years of chronic pain.  I could walk but not much else.  The exercises Todd taught me have been very beneficial to my recovery and I will continue to use them.  Thank you so much Freedom Physical Therapy for all your help!  I feel so much better!
Sarah Kaiser  5/5/16
 
Upon first arriving, my pain was extremely intense and often unbearable at times.  The help and level of support, that I received from both Todd and Diane was unbelievable.  Todd is an excellent help in all areas and provides a kind, compassionate, professional approach that is just remarkable.  He came highly recommended to me and upon the first visit, it was easy to see why.  He spends time explaining everything and truly helps to solve the issue.  My only regret is that I wish I would have come sooner.  I highly recommend anyone reading this would visit him.  He is a wonderful person!  He and Diane are marvelous team.  I strongly encourage anyone in need to visit them.  It will be an experience you won’t forget.  They’re the best in the business.
Ben Heaverley  4/20/16
 
When I started seeing Todd, I had several chronic pain sites.  A couple had developed in recent months – another had been present for years.  After treatment, none of these areas bring me pain.  I didn’t realize how much the pain was affecting my life style.  I am adjusting to the change!  Thank you, Todd and Diane!
Linda G. Faro  4/10/16
 
My knee gave me lots of problems.  Waking me up at night and couldn’t do a lot during the day.  It does not wake me up at night now and have a lot more movement.  It is stronger now.
Thank you
Maria K. Howath  4/6/16
 
Had shoulder pain at night to the point that I had to take some medication to get sleep.  Now I sleep all night long without pain or medication and is great all day long.
John W. Bennett  3/23/16
 
My pain is under control and I can do my chores, etc.  The changes have allowed me do return to anything I want.  And I follow up with most of the directions Todd has taught me.
Thanks again
Priscilla J. Wolf  3/7/16
 
When I first started coming to physical therapy under a month ago, I was in bad shape.  Pained all day during normal daily activities.  When I would lay down to go to sleep, my back pain would be indescribable.  It would keep me up or wake me up in the night.  I was waking up so sore, I had to take hot baths in the morning and relax my muscles to go about with my day.  Now that I have participated in physical therapy, my back is feeling great and I am no longer feeling pained when I wake up.  I have learned lessons to carry with me the rest of my life; to live a healthy and happy one!
Michelle Wilson  2/10/16
 
Todd just simply saved my life!  I came in unable to walk after hip surgery and even my husband noticed after my very first visit that I was improving.  Todd is not only a fantastic therapist but also a great positive Christian man.  He not only improved my pain but encouraged me to lose weight and incorporate a healthy diet in my life.
Thank you for your expertise and thanks to Diane’s efficiency too!  Great team!
I have and will continue to refer you to my family and friends!  Job well done!
Jean Ann Henry  1/26/16
 
After my knee replacement surgery my knee did not want to bend at all.  It hurt greatly if I forced it. 
Now about a month later and two sessions a week every week of that month it bends!  Todd was a big help, he was never forceful.  He knows how to work around the pain and still is able to remove the pain and the reason for it.  He is also very understanding and caring about your discomfort.
My knee now bends 127 degrees and that is a very good bend!
Patricia Owen  1/20/16
 
My range of motion has increased dramatically in both of my shoulders.  I am no longer waking up in pain during the middle of the night!  I can back up in my car without any pain!  Thank you for your excellent care and attention.  I have learned so much!
Melisa Frates  1/19/16
 
Was asking the school nurse for Advil on a regular basis.  Haven’t taken any since my first appointment.  Thank you Todd.

Before I came to Todd at Freedom, my pain was controlling my life.  Today I finished my physical therapy, and I haven’t felt this good in years.
Jenna Hansen  1/6/16
 
When I first began therapy, I could barely walk.  After my sessions, I am able to perform at my pre-injury way of life.
I am very impressed with the level of service at Freedom P.T.  I was treated with incredible respect and compassion.  Todd really, truly listened to my needs.
Thank you for all you have done to help me!
Suzanne Alioto  12/23/15
 
I ripped a rotator cuff in my right shoulder.  It woke me up at night and caused severe pain when driving.  After treatment I have good movement in my shoulders, no pain, and sleep the night through.
Thomas M. Anderson  12/16/15
 
I was unable to walk because of surgery.  It was painful to do any sort of activity and would be in pain all night long.  I am now able to walk with no pain and I am able to work out regularly.  I really enjoyed my physical therapy because we went at my pace and Todd would listen to me when I was in a great deal of pain.  I thank Freedom Physical Therapy for my great outcome.  Now I hope to move on to college soccer.  Without such a great rehab this opportunity would not be possible.
Darby Milburn  12/15/15
 
When I first started there wasn’t a day that went by without massive back pain (lower & mid back).  My lower back has completely gone and mid back is nearly gone.  To have finally found an awesome physical Therapist who truly lived up to his word “to offer freedom from pain and the freedom to live life fully” I can now have fun and do things with my kids without the pain!  I am so grateful to have found someone who truly cares and has such a passion to help people and really listen to them and help what’s causing the pain and not just try to mask the problem.  You have truly changed my life for the better.  Thank you!  Finally, after 5 years pain free. 
Alyssa Burros  12/10/15
 

I was having difficulties because of pain in my arm(s) performing some basic tasks.  After working with Todd, I have found relief and have worked through the issues I had.  His overall approach to physical therapy was really effective.  I also appreciate his efforts to help me work towards becoming stronger even though I have a desk job where I must become creative to find ways to “work out”.
Heath McLeod  11/11/15
 
Todd helped me understand I needed a left hip replacement.  Referred me to a good doctor.
He listened to my concerns and not just physically but mentally and emotionally helped me through this big change to my body.
I know he is the best at what he does.  It’s not just a job to him and Diane – it’s a commitment to excellence.
My leg – hip scar area gets better every day.  My emotional capacity to handle all this has been totally supported.  I am well on my way to physical healing.  Thank you!!
Louise Soltis  11/10/15
 
For 15+ years I have had chronic pain.  Thru the years I have been to physical therapy and many specialists, to no avail.  The therapy did me more harm than good.  I had been on Hydrocodone 10mg. 4x/day for 15 plus years.
Several years ago I went to Todd for another ailment, we started talking about my pain.  He said he has had great success with my type of pain and that was his specialty.  He explained the procedure and I decided to give it another try.  Sure enough, with each session the pain started to disappear.  He treated me thru a lot of the winter of 2013.  My summer of 2014 I was able to go halibut fishing for the first time in years.  I also did a little dipping for Reds.
Once I was comfortable that the pain was not coming back, I started to decrease my pain medication and 7 months later I was off my pain meds and have not had any since.  I started gaining back a lot of strength, walking, and doing a lot more physical activities.  Now, the summer of 2015, I am on our boat every time we go halibut fishing, and also the deck hand for my fiancé.  We are now dip netting this summer out of our boat and having a great time.
I was very blessed that Todd was sent to me and made me whole again.
P.S….I also bought a bike and a treadmill.  Not bad for 72 years and counting.  Thank you Todd for giving me back my life.
Sandy Hendershot  11/1/15
 
My back and neck pain used to affect me on a daily basis.  It has been the treatment and coaching that has rid me of the root causes and will help me stop any pain in the future.  Thank you!  I feel like I am a better version of myself now.
Peter Malone  10/21/15
 
I came in with so much pain I could barely function in my daily activities or sleep through the night.  Now I am enjoying my daily activities pain free and sleeping completely pain free.
Lois Azzara  10/15/15
 
When I came in, I was in a level of pain in my neck, mid-back and hip area most of the time.  I felt ancient and walked with a side to side motion (duck walk).  I have continually had less pain with daily movement.  I am improved to the point of no pain in my neck, midback or hips.  My posture has improved to help maintain my new pain-free condition.
Debra Hayes  10/7/15
 
I was kind of a mess all over.  I had neck pain and low back pain.  Both are gone.  I had pain in my left arm from a rotator cuff injury.  It’s gone and I have full mobility and use of that arm now.  With the FUN exercises Todd has taught me, I feel I have a new lease on life.  Thank you Diane & Todd!
Laraine Kay Aber  10/6/15

After having total knee replacement over three years ago, I had been told I had a stiff knee and there was nothing to be done to relieve the pain or improve the range of motion.  After eight sessions with Todd I have less pain and greater range of motion.  This has made driving, climbing stairs, and other daily activities much easier.  I’m very thankful for his help.
Rebecca Calloway  9/2/15
 
When I initially came to Freedom Physical Therapy, my left knee was having daily pain when sitting, standing, or sleeping.  I was beginning to wonder if I would be able to continue my daily walking/running due to the constant pain I was experiencing.
Since going thru physical therapy/fascial manipulation with Todd Pollock, I no longer have daily pain in my knee.  Day after day I forget I even had knee pain.  I’m so happy I can keep getting out to walk/jog and not feel pain for days after!  Words are not enough to express my gratefulness!  Thank you Todd & Diane!
Sherri Baktuit  9/18/15
 
I have Juvenille Rhuematoid Arthritis and I was in pretty severe pain at my first appointment.  Todd was careful to not push me too far and create more pain, and he is incredibly knowledgeable and helped me a very significant amount.  My arthritis pain has decreased substantially and overall, my health has improved since I came to Freedom PT.  Todd and Diane are both wonderful and I absolutely recommend them and am very thankful/blessed to have had the opportunity to be a patient at Freedom.
Vienna Schmitter-Schrier  8/31/15
 
I came in after suffering very painful back spasms and thought that it was a problem isolated to my back.  I was shocked to find that the tightness and pain I frequently felt in my hips, legs, and feet was directly related to my back pain.  After less than 5 sessions my whole body feels relaxed, and I’m walking away with skills to keep myself healthy and pain-free.  This was a great experience!
Hannah Dolphin  8/29/15
 
Before I came, my back pain was pretty extreme, and it prevented me from doing many different activities that I enjoy.  It affected my everyday life and was very problematic.  Since coming and seeing Todd, my pain has significantly decreased!  It has definitely made a huge difference in my daily life.  It was really helpful getting some tips and exercise movements to work on.  My personal and spiritual life was also very encouraged by Todd and his wife.  It was a blessing to come here, and I am very thankful for the difference it has made!
Hillary Bogard  8/20/15
 
My left-side, lower back had constant pain in the S.I. joint area.  This has kept me from exercising the way I would like to for the last 5 years and from exercising at all this last year.  I have attended PT about once a week for 4 months and now feel almost completely free from back pain that has existed for over 10 years---pain I repeatedly saw chiropractors for with no relief.  I am in awe to learn about how the fascia was creating the pain.
I look forward to doing the exercises Todd taught me so I can improve my health on my own.
Susan Hawker  8/11/15
 
Todd and Diane have been very instrumental in my recovery with their patience, understanding and encouragement.  I regret I cannot continue my treatment here due to personal issues, but know that I am on my way to a full recovery.
Kim Dauwe  7/29/2015
 
Todd has helped me a GREAT Deal.  I thought that I would have to limit life activities due to leg pain.  Almost all pain is gone after treatment.
Daniel J. Beck  7/15/2015
 
Todd has helped me to gain more mobility in my body, improving my posture and relieving pain.  Todd is truly interested and cares about my entire well- being.
Cathy VanCauwenbergh  7/14/2015
 
 In the beginning, my range of motion is nearly back to normal.  Todd has done an excellent job of working with me to make sure that I felt as good as possible after each appointment.  Todd was always happy to answer questions when asked and always tried to address every concern in the time available.  Overall I feel a lot better… Thank you!
Thomas Hammelman  7/7/2015
 
When I first came to Freedom I was hurting in my range of motion on my right arm causing shoulder pain.  Now I am pain free.  My experience has been so very positive.  Absolutely was amazed at how great of a physical therapist Todd is.  He pegged my problem from the very beginning, gave me a plan of action and Walla – we have achieved it.  Oh how I appreciate that!  But more importantly to me is the connection I found in the unity of faith with Todd and Diane.  I am very thankful to know my physical therapist prays for me and knows Jesus Christ.

Since therapy I now do not have the sciatic pain down my left leg, I sleep the night through with no interruptions due to pain.  I can lift my left leg and can walk a mile a day.  My balance is improving week by week as well as my strengths.  I am now back to gardening, doing my housework and taking walks with my husband.  Once I get my right knee replaced I think that will complete it all.  I can’t say enough about how wonderful this therapy has been.  It has been directed toward my specific needs, the knowledge and skills are obvious as demonstrated in the fantastic results.  I highly recommend this service to everyone I talk to.  Excellent work, excellent attitude, wonderful people.  God bless!

Reaching the age of 70 and having two artificial hips I had concerns about balance, strength and flexibility.  I had experienced range of motion problems in my hips.
Dr. Pollock immediately put me at ease and by my 2nd appointment my mobility was increased and pain lessened.
Using easy and commonsense exercises I am now pain-free and feel more confident in my ability to keep my busy “retirement” schedule!
Thank you,

I was having horrible migraines, 2-3 times a day, with neck and back pain.  Now I have a mild headache every now and then with no back pain.  I have been feeling so much better at work and my everday life.  I enjoyed my appointments and feel as though something has finally impacted my head positively.  I have gone to many doctors and specialists for migraines and other than giving pain pills, nothing has helped.  I’m happy that they are not the only answer, because I refuse to take pain pills for the rest of my life.  Thank you so much and God Bless.

I have lived with pain for many years.  After a traumatic medical procedure these painful places became unbearable.  Upon coming to Freedom Physical Therapy I was relieved that Todd recognized the source of my pain and was able to not only relieve it, but teach me to treat myself more successfully if it would reoccur.

I was able to play with my kids with less discomfort and improved pain and range of motion than before.  Overall felt much better.  Thanks!  “Best therapist I have ever worked with”  “I can play with my kids again” “My core strength has improved and back pain is gone!”

Before I came to see Todd I had pain all over, low back, neck, feet & shoulders.  In 5 sessions Todd worked through all of it; he lowered my pain to almost nothing!  He also taught me ways to strengthen myself and keep pain away.  I would recommend him to anyone.

Throughout my active and injury prone lifestyle I have come to the conclusion that finding a medical professional that truly focuses on their patient is hard to come by.  Todd wholeheartedly and passionately investigates his patients entire well being to best treat their issue(s).  He helped alleviate my pain and range of motion issues.  I sincerely believe Todd gives complete focus and attention to each and every patient he sees.  I would highly recommend Todd to anyone without hesitation.

When I first dislocated my knee I became extremely discouraged.  After a month of being pregnant and having my knee dislocate I wasn’t sure if I would be able to enjoy being my outdoorsy self for the next 9 months.  I am now 4 months pregnant and feel so much better and I am excited to get out and go walking, hiking, and biking thanks to Todd.  I mentally and physically feel better and now I am very excited about this pregnancy and recovery.  Thank you Todd! God bless.

I came to Freedom Physical Therapy after knee replacement surgery.  My range of motion and other functions were severely limited.  I had considerable pain and scar tissue.  During treatment other issues from previous injuries presented themselves.  Todd was very thorough in tracking and treating each problem.  His patience, proficiency, and professionalism are outstanding!  He took the time to carefully explain each treatment along with the reason for it.  I am delighted with my care and treatment at Freedom Physical Therapy.  I highly recommend them without reservation!

When I came here I was walking with a cane to support my right leg.  I had constant pain in my neck and right shoulder.
Now I walk normal with no pain.  I can lift my arms above my head and turn my head both directions.
I highly recommend Freedom Physical Therapy.  They worked a miracle on me.

When I first came to see Todd I had been experiencing extreme wrist pain for 5 years.  My hands would swell and I wouldn’t even be able to use them sometimes.  I had seen many doctors and nobody had any answers until Todd.  He worked with me twice a week until my pain was gone.  He also taught me an invaluable lesson on how to keep it from coming back.  I am so pleased and will recommend him to all my friends and family.

When I came here, lots of pain and no flexibility.  After treatment, I am able to walk much better and my flexibility has really increased.  Todd has a lot of exercise resources that make a big difference.
I am very glad I was recommended to Freedom!
