Dr. Rachel Witmer PT, DPT
Let’s take a patient to use as an example of how I utilize MTY as a PT. This patient is a mother of two, who has been experiencing severe low back pain (LBP) & radicular symptoms for eight months. She took the traditional medical route of seeing her physician, who prescribed PT. Subsequently she completed six months of traditional physical therapy at another clinic. Her treatment was not providing her with relief. She also sought out massage therapy, dry needling, acupuncture, had an MRI, and desperately resorted to an epidural steroid injection. The patient reported no change in her symptoms, and maybe even some worsening of her symptoms following the epidural.
In just two visits, her pain has been reduced in half and she is seeing light at the end of the tunnel. Her mood & her overall energy has been elevated. She loves the home program which she is diligently completing. I have no doubt that she is on her way to a full recovery. She may shine her light once again and be the mother, wife, friend, and daughter she strives to be.
