If you have low back pain, you are not alone. At any given time, about 25% of people in the United States report having low back pain within the past 3 months. For some people, back pain can return or hang on, leading to a decrease in quality of life or even to disability. Your physical therapist can help you improve or restore mobility and reduce low back pain-in many cases, without expensive surgery or the side effects of medications.
Your bones are connected at joints such as the hip and knee. A rubbery substance called cartilage coats the bones at these joints and helps reduce friction when you move. A protective oily substance called synovial fluid is also contained within the joint, helping to ease movement. When these protective coverings break down, the bones begin to rub together during movement.
Lymphedema is swelling generally in the arms or legs due to a blockage in your lymphatic system. It's estimated that about one third of women who undergo axillary lymph node dissection during breast cancer treatment will develop lymphedema. Identifying and treating lymphedema early helps ensure faster and better outcomes, but even treatment later on, during the chronic stages of the disease, can still help.

The team at Request Physical Therapy is awesome...from the front desk, to Jamie and her care of everyone, to the awesome therapists. Nick was amazing to work with for my shoulder; he was professional and personable, made sure I was comfortable with my PT experience and brought me so much relief from the pain I had. His attention to detail and 'can-do' attitude really made the experience beneficial and, at the same time, enjoyable. Highly recommend!

I can't say enough about Request Therapy. Angela is the most pleasant receptionist and always goes out of her way. I have scoliosis and neck pain for many years that causes me to have great headaches. I did chiropractic care for years but when I started therapy with John how amazing he is and shows how much he cares! I have less headaches and able to sleep much better. I hope you know how much I appreciate what your doing for me. I also want to say thank you Jamie for helping me too with my exercises, your great. Everyone is helpful, friendly, understanding and caring. I would recommend this place

Nick, John and all the staff are great. Someone always has your attention. This was my last day with Nick as my therapist. From the beginning when I had moderate to severe pain, Nick has worked with me and I can now say I feel 100% better. Pain is minimal and I can now do things I couldn't do before. I no longer need a cane to walk and keep from falling. After about 4 sessions my knee began to stop giving out and causing me to fall. Now it doesn't give out anymore and no more cane. To me it almost seems like a small miracle. Thank you so much Nick for giving me back my ability to walk and move

If you are looking for the best PT experience in the local area Request PT is the place to be. John is an incredible therapist with an endless fund of knowledge regarding anatomy, multiple therapeutic modalities, exercise physiology and the list goes on! He is solution-oriented and always up for a challenging case-spoken from both a medical practitioner as well as a patient. I highly recommend checking out Request for your PT needs!

Very professional and personable staff. I came in with a neck injury and some chronic pain. Nick, Vanessa and John were able to alleviate the pain and create a program to get me back into my fitness regime of lifting, running and swimming safely. The whole team there is excellent! I highly recommend Request for any of your physical therapy needs.

What a wonderful team of highly skilled professionals! I have learned so much from John, Susan and Ricardo in the short time I have been going there which is helping me manage my head/neck issues at home. Such a caring group of individuals! If there was 6 stars for EXCEPTIONAL ratings, this group would be it!
