If you’ve been to a physical therapy center, you’re likely familiar with the tools of the trade. Look around and you’ll observe padded tables, dumbbells, exercise balls, recumbent bikes and those taunting resistance bands that want to take a shot at you. There are other tools, however, that ma...

Physical Therapist Chris Accettella and Madilyn Mays have a special relationship. Madilyn, who has cerebral palsy, needed numerous occupational and physical therapy sessions. Working together, Madilyn was able to achieve unimaginable milestones.

"My mom thought something was not right," she said. "I was not growing like my brother and sister."

Madilyn's mom would get her answer, and be connected with Chris. Chris started working with Madilyn as a baby. Therapy spanned several years; they worked together in various areas, including mobility, flexibility, coordination and both gross and fine motor skills. Madilyn did not always want to go to therapy and sometimes found the session extremely difficult. Chris, however, encouraged her to try. She believed in Madilyn.

As I got older, I realized that Chris was actually my biggest help," Madilyn shared. "She never gave up on me and taught me not to give up on myself."

The results of their teamwork over the years paid off, culminating in Madilyn's quinceañera outing. Madilyn was able to dance with her father, mother, family and friends unbound by the constraints of a wheelchair. Some of her additional accomplishments include running, riding a bike, playing drums and jewelry designing. Madilyn currently has her own jewelry business.

"Just keep trying and doing your best," Madilyn shared. "Your therapist will help you with the things you need to do so you can do the things you want to do."

We are so happy to see you thrive, Madilyn. Thank you for choosing us on your rehabilitation journey.

“Finding a good PT can feel like magic.”

We’re glad more people are catching on to what we’ve been saying all along! This recent New York Times article discusses the many ways physical therapists can help patients beyond rehabilitation following injury or surgery.

Physical therapy can be the key to maintaining your health, from correcting imbalances to prevent future pain to identifying the cause behind chronic issues to find relief. A physical therapist can tell you whether your knee pain stems from your ankle or hips and can keep you from injuring yourself while training for your 5K or marathon. You have a dentist and eye doctor you see regularly. It’s important to see a physical therapist regularly, too.

The article also offers advice about red flags when selecting a physical therapy provider, like avoiding places that hand patients off to aides or just offer hot packs. We’re proud to say that our patients' sessions are with licensed therapists who tailor each recovery plan to an individual’s goals. And finding access to care is as easy as searching for the closest of our more than 1,900 centers in 39 states and Washington, D.C.

You can read the article to learn more or request an appointment to see how physical therapy can benefit you.

A good P.T. can help you improve your strength and mobility. Here’s how to find the right fit.

Age causes wear and tear on all of our bodies. For Christa McClendon, it was her right knee.

A wife, mother and grandmother, Christa loves socializing with her friends and family. When her right knee started to interfere with what she wanted to do, she knew it should be replaced. She underwent a left-knee replacement four years ago with no regrets, and so she was ready to do it again.

Our Wichita - Cherry Creek center is just minutes from her house, so it was an easy choice as the place to get her back to living again.

Christa worked with Physical Therapist Patty Yoon. "She is compassionately persistent, which patients need," Christa said. "I absolutely recommend Select and Patty to anyone who is struggling and needs physical therapy."

It's always a great feeling when we can get patients back to feeling their best, or as Christa put it, "feeling complete." Thank you for turning to us for your care, Christa!
