“This has been a godsend! After mysteriously hurting my lower back earlier this year, I nursed it along until it got to the point that picking things up off the floor was a challenge. The more I sat, the more it hurt, and when trying to stand and walk, I only wanted to sit down. When I walked, I could hear and feel the 'crunching' in my lower back. Sleeping became an issue. My story: While I've had many massages in the past, I knew this was past the massage phase, although it might provide temporary relief. Then I considered Chiropractic. I have a love/hate relationship with trust issues. The good ones are amazing, and the not-so-good ones keep dangling the 'come back' carrot cuz nothing gets better. I'd been to a Sports Medicine Orthopedic for a near-frozen shoulder and a hip issue that I had for years. Both were treated with "physical therapy" - range of motion exercises and strength training. While the team was very professional and both areas recovered, overall, there was nothing to write home about... til now. I've been a nurse in this area for 30 years. I've seen what physical therapists do, or so I thought. I saw an ad for Thomas Physical Therapy and thought, why not? I had a coming-up trip with a lot of walking, and I needed to find a way out of this issue. I met with Dr. Marina on 7/23/24, who took the time to listen, thoroughly evaluate, and then start office treatment with realistic 'homework' recommendations. I was amazed and impressed with her knowledge and clinical and communication skills. This was NOT the standard/average physical therapy that I expected, nor had I witnessed over the years. She was very hands-on with helping the spine to realign, the pelvis and hip to reconnect, and Deep tissue massage / myofascial release to help loosen and release the adhesions (bones, ligaments, and tendons can't work if they are tied in a knot). Dry Needling and electro-stim for intramuscular stimulation; Stretching to help the tight area loosen and restore balance. It's been 6 weeks. I can walk without pain, and the 'crunching' is gone. I can pick something up off the floor without too much issue. I can manage steps again. I have learned so much, and I'm so impressed. This is NOT your 'average' PT session. The staff is amazing! I highly recommend them!“

“Dr. Harris is a very thorough and caring orthopedic physician. She addressed my lower back issue and diagnosed a treatment, that sounds like a very good plan for my recovery. I highly recommend the walk in clinic to anyone who can't wait weeks to see a doctor. I would like to thank Dr. Jessica Harris and her team.“
