Success Stories & Testimonials

I have had knee problems for years. I have had XRays, MRIs, several rounds of physical therapy and the next step was surgery. I decided to give PT one last chance and worked with Gabby Mace at Pioneer for a few months and with Gabby’s individual customized plan, saw a dramatic recovery in the functionality of my knee. Thank you Gabby and team for giving me hope.

Ashlie Sowers

Dr. Gabby Mace started from ground zero with an evaluation, some hypotheses, and unique exercises based on bone and muscle connections in the pain area in my foot. After working for only two months with her, I now understand the trigger point for the pain, can manage it, and am on my way to recovery. She did what 1 other PT, 2 podiatrists, and 1 orthopedic surgeon couldn’t do or fix over 2 proceeding years.

Tris West

I highly recommend James. I had a pinched nerve in my lower neck that made it impossible to lie down and caused intense pain when sitting, driving, or walking for extended periods. By my fifth session with James, all my issues were resolved. He is extremely professional, always punctual, and genuinely cares about his clients.

Is there anything I can do before my appointment to prepare?

Yes! Make sure you arrive for your session well-rested so that you can give it your full attention and energy. It is also helpful if you keep track of how much pain medication (if any) you take prior to the appointment so that the physical therapist can adjust the intensity of treatment accordingly.

Are there any exercises I can do at home between appointments to help improve my condition?

Yes! Your physical therapist may provide specific exercise recommendations for you to try in between visits, which will help speed up your recovery and progress faster toward reaching your goals.

Will insurance cover my physical therapy?

You can use HSA/FSA funds for physical therapy expenses, but it’s important to check with your provider to confirm coverage and any associated fees.

How often will I need to attend physical therapy sessions?

The frequency of visits will depend on your individual goals and condition, but typically it is recommended that patients attend 2-3 times per week for a minimum of 4-6 weeks in order to maximize results. Your therapist will provide more details during your initial appointment.

How long will it take for me to see results?

The more positive lifestyle changes you make, the faster your progress will be!
