Physical Therapy Redding Success Stories
Really love the time taken and attention to details. I came in with an irritated Achilles’ tendon issue. After a few visits, I’m noticing definite improvement. This is an awesome option for Redding. Christian is easy to talk to and no judgment whatsoever. ~ Terra Farley Active individual in Redding.
Emily was so wonderful, professional, and helpful. I went in to her discouraged about a recent injury. After my appointment, I felt noticeable relief, her treatment was so helpful, and the exercises she gave me to do were well explained and very doable. I’m feeling so much better and I am so excited to be back doing the activities I love! I couldn’t recommend her any more.
~Natasha, Redding resident.
My 12-year-old broke her ankle and was non-weight-bearing for 10 weeks. After she was able to walk again, her foot pointed out and she didn’t walk straight. Doctors said no PT was necessary, so I asked around and was referred to Christian. After just 2 sessions, he gave us all the tools we needed to strengthen her ankle and leg muscles, and she is doing great! Back in dance & sports with no issues! We are so happy we found him!
