Ten years ago, Barb Jordan tore her meniscus and had it repaired; however, her knee was never the same. After years of being unable to bend or extend her knee fully, she decided enough was enough and chose to get a knee replacement.

After surgery, Barb needed support to finish her recovery. That's when she found Physical Therapist Shelli Herink and Physical Therapist Assistant Paige Ryan.

"The first day I walked into physical therapy, I just got that look and Shelli said, 'you are going to need a lot of work,'" Barb said.

When she started physical therapy, Barb had a walker and could barely get her knee to move. While it wasn't quick or easy progress, Barb was determined to get back on her bike without worries. She kept listening to Shelli and Paige, pushing herself through the hard moments to get over the hump.

"Shelli and Paige were a huge part of my recovery," Barb said. "I truly believe if I didn't have them, there is no way my knee extension would be zero [degrees]!"

While she found our center out of convenience, Barb said she quickly realized that we are the place for physical therapy and will refer to anyone looking for our services.

Thank you, Barb. We're honored to have helped you get back to your life.
