Patient Reviews
I just want to take a moment to thank you for all of your personal care and help with my physical therapy. Jerry take notice of my slightest deviation of movement when doing exercises to ensure that the correct muscles are being identified and worked. I also appreciate you tips and follow-up on exercises that I am to preform at home between sessions at Axis Brain and Back Institute.
You truly challenge me to continuous improvement. Thank you for not allowing me to not do my best. Within less than two months, I went from not being able to lift 2 pounds or even reach my head to rowing 17 pounds and being able to braid my hair.
The atmosphere at Axis Brain and Back Institute is uplifting and welcoming. Thank you so much for all that you do.
Warmest Regards,
Valeria H.
