But if you feel pain when you move, or if verbal communication is difficult, you might feel like your potential is limited.

Over a year and a half ago I suffered with sciatic nerve pain so bad in my left leg that i could barely walk on that side of my body, but with the help of Dr Greg Kintzing and staff at Function First physical therapy, I am walking without sciatic pain. They use the Red Cord method of physical therapy which allows you to preform the exercises with gravity, not against it . I received fantastic service and they made it a pleasure to work with them. If you are in the Shreveport or Bossier area and in need of excellent physical therapy you should give them a call. They gave me back my life without

Friendly, accommodating, attentive. First PT experience. From 1st visit to last, they were supportive, encouraging, tried different things to see what worked best for me, asked questions and listened to my responses. Nerve pain virtually gone, range of motion much improved, and taught me exercises I can do to help myself. And they have Redcords.

Overstatement is impossible here. I'm 46 with a chronic lower back issue. I'm a commercial photographer constantly on-the-go. I'm a wife and mother of a middle-schooler. I can't be out of commission physically, ever. I went to Function First with a brand new hip issue that was making it really hard for me to walk without pain. I've learned to live with pain and lots of Ibuprofen. After a series of pain-free therapy sessions at Function First. The pain was resolved and I walked away with a handful of stretches I can do at home for flare-ups. Even the stretches work. The REDCORD Suspension System

This place is a brand new type of therapy in Bossier City with nothing else like it in Louisiana. In fact, they are the ONLY therapist in the entire State certified to perform Neurac therapy. If you have suffered from pain for years without any kind of relief, I implore you to at least give them one session. You will notice a difference, guaranteed, after the first day!
