Giving Health & Hope
“After my reconstructive ACL surgery in November, I had high hopes to make it back on the field for my senior year. I knew it would not be easy. Through hard work and dedication combined with the motivation and help from the whole team at Choice Therapy, nine months later I am performing at the collegiate level once again without losing a step. Thank you Jason.”

It was hard for me to hear a cancer diagnosis, but hope returned after it was treated. It was also hard for me to hear a lymphedema diagnosis, especially when I realized lymphedema is a chronic and possibly life-threatening condition. Hope for a normal future seemed elusive. However, hope returned as soon as I met with Cheri Ware, DPT, for manual lymph drainage on my affected leg.
When my leg began to swell, I was fortunate to know another cancer survivor who had received therapy by Cheri. This friend told me that with her breast cancer support group, Cheri was known as the best therapist in our area.
Cheri made room in her busy schedule to see me as soon as possible because lymphedema is best treated early. She fully explained this condition to me and was able to reduce the swelling in my leg with the very first visit. After a number of treatments, my leg was within a few centimeters of its normal size, and Cheri then taught me to care for my leg at home. The therapy has been so successful that I voluntarily meet with Cheri one a year to make sure I'm managing my condition well. It's been four years since my first visit with Cheri, and my leg is doing extremely well.
Just recently, I've decided to have knee surgery on my affected leg. Cheri is the only therapist I will trust to manage my lymphedema before and after surgery. I know I will be in the best hands possible.
"When I first started coming to Choice Therapy, I could not lift my left leg. Now, after a total knee replacement and a tendon repair, and with the help of my therapist (Cheri Ware), I can now lift my leg and walk without pain. Choice Therapy was my choice, make it your choice too."
"Before I came to Choice Therapy, I had back pain for the last 3 football seasons. But after only a few weeks at Choice Therapy, I'm able to return to football without any problems to my back."
"Very nice place. Will be here for all my therapy needs."
"Care was professional, thorough, and results were measurable..........reduction of pain & increased flexibility. Staff is caring and sincere."
"I was extremely happy with my therapy at Choice. Mya was friendly and Cheri made my experience pleasant. Thank you!!"

"100% satisfied with my therapy results from a three year old injury. Thanks."
"I really enjoyed the whole staff here. They where very friendly and helpful. Thanks Jess and all for helping me through this rehab."
"I'm a true advocate of Physical Therapy, and I tell everyone who may need therapy to go to you."
"Andrea is doing a great job with my 3 year old daughter. On her 1st visit, she was very shy. But, with Andrea's help and patience, my daughter now asks to come to therapy. Thank You!! (very much)"
"This is just a short note to say thank you, especially Holly and Jason, thanks for your time. You made recovery fun! And thanks to all the rest of you who were all so friendly and nice. It was a pleasure to come to Choice Therapy."
