“I hurt my shoulder in the summer and didn't get medical help until Novemember. By doing all of the stretching and strengthening exercises it didn't take long for my mobility to increase and the pain to decrease.

Should I ever need PT again MPT will definitely be who I chose. Thanks.”

“I did not come to McDonald because of an injury, accident, or operation. I came because I was alarmed at how fast my muscle mass and tone was changing once I turned into the 60s decade and because of the levels of stress I experience daily as the sole caregiver for my 97 year old Dad. The saying is that “stress is killer” and I believe it. So coming to McDonald helped me regain muscle tone, stamina, balance, and strength. Whew! I feel like I can walk normally again. Having the aftercare option of suing the facility is perfect. I need to do it consistently. I am so grateful that McDonald is here for us.”

“Painful tendinitis in my right elbow was making it difficult to do the normal things I need to do to take care of my family: Carry the baby, carry groceries, lift dishes in and out of the oven, pour milk, etc. Just a few sessions with Pam and her amazing hands and I started to feel better. I really appreciate her expertise!”

I feel very fortunate to have been associated with these wonderful people at a time in my life when I was so vulnerable.”
- Mary W.
“I played on a painful knee to two years of constant pain in baseball and football. I had no idea what it was until the doctor told me I had patellar tendonitis.

“On my first day here a comparison was made between my good arm and my injured arm. I thought there was no way the bad arm would ever be like the good arm again.

Now when I do the day to day activities I don't even think about my arm.”

“Stronger every day for me is more than just a tag line. This is my second knee replacement and therapy was only two weeks. I will not be moving on to the workout program. What I learned from therapy after my first knee replacement is that I have no doubt that I will have a full recover. This would not have been possible without guidance, care, and sometimes hand holding from Pam, Sara, and Mallorie. They gave me the tools needed to have a full recovery and get back to my normal day to day activities, free of pain. Thanks for your help.”
- Marcus R.
“When I first met Kelley and Stephanie I could barely walk from my truck to the clinic. When we started my exercises I didn't really want to go so far, but Kelley and Stephanie gave me encouragement to complete my workout. Many weeks later, not only do I feel like doing more, I want to keep working out. I can say Kelley and Stephanie have given me back my confidence. MPT is first class therapy. They are also my guardian angels, thanks to Kelley and Stephanie.”

I would recommend this facility to anyone who needs to be brought back to physical health.”
