"K" was diagnosed with prostate cancer several years ago. Before surgery, "K" said he was an active and otherwise healthy 69-year-old. Then, following his prostatectomy in late 2021, "K" began experiencing urinary incontinence.

"I enjoy outside activities, particularly sailboat racing and traveling," he shared. "Incontinence limited these activities and, at times, forced me to avoid them. I needed to wear depends at all times, including at bedtime."

"K" said he tried physical therapy with other companies but was never able to fully regain his bladder control. Then, he came Physical Therapist Jill Cramp to participate in our CoreVia Pelvic Health program.

"Jill was remarkable," he said. "[She] had a broad knowledge of pelvic floor PT and was able to draw on this research and her experiences to suggest a variety of approaches. Jill's diagnosis and treatment have included the use of ultrasound imaging, which I have found extremely beneficial and enlightening. She constantly had new therapies and approaches to try. Her new approaches generated favorable results, but more importantly, encouraged me to keep moving forward with my recovery."

We're so happy to see your continued success, "K."

We know this can be a sensitive topic for many, but it's important for patients to know they're not alone. Our compassionate and dedicated CoreVia Pelvic Health therapists complete specialized training and ongoing education to help patients return to their lives.

Patricia has suffered from headaches along with neck pain and stiffness for three years. The headaches occurred every 7-10 days and would last eight hours or longer. She tried multiple treatment options, but all had failed. She decided to try physical therapy.

Patricia says she was amazed at the quick results. "After my second treatment, the headaches stopped, and I haven't had one since," she shared. "Everything got better with each treatment."

Patricia is now pain-free and back to doing the activities she loves, especially getting back to the gym.

Pain comes in many forms. Back pain is awful, but it's nothing compared to the pain of losing a loved one to opioid addiction.

According to the American Medical Association, an estimated 3% to 19% of people who take prescription pain medications become addicted to them.

Our latest blog post talks about the two types of pain that contribute to the use of prescription opioids and how physical therapy could be the safe, pill-free answer many are looking for. Plus, we discuss the surprising journey of opioids in the health care system, including the time a popular pharmaceutical company marketed he**in as a non-addictive over-the-counter medication.

Read the blog, and be sure to like and share this post to spread awareness about opioid-free pain alternatives.

Physical Therapy vs. Opioids The opioid epidemic in the United States is a public health crisis that has left a trail of devastation in its wake.

is real, just ask Mary.

Mary’s equestrian trainer referred her to physical therapy after she shattered her patella.

One of the most important things Mary needed to accomplish was getting back on her horse, so Physical Therapist Jordan Redmon created a safe set up in the center. As Mary gained her confidence, Jordan joined Mary at her home to complete the goal of mounting her horse.

Some of Mary’s other improvements from physical therapy were her range of motion and pain. She also had improved strength in her quads and hamstrings.

“I told my surgeon that starting physical therapy was an absolute game changer. I’m so encouraged for my future riding and equestrian abilities,” Mary shared.

We are thrilled you are back on the saddle, Mary. Thank you for trusting us.

Pain Management through Cancer Rehabilitation Many patients who are newly diagnosed find themselves asking the question, ‘Is cancer painful?'.

Gary came to Select Physical Therapy in Carlisle, PA with the goal of becoming stronger in order to climb Standing Stone Trail, also known as the Thousand Steps, in Mt. Union, PA. It’s considered a challenging hike, especially for someone who had been in a truck accident in 2015 that broke his neck, injured his spinal cord and caused a traumatic brain injury.

Gary spent six weeks at Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center and another month in inpatient rehabilitation before being discharged. But just because he was home didn't mean things were back to normal. Gary continued to struggle with walking, balance and leg strength. So, in March 2023, he began physical therapy with us and, after two months, transitioned to our wellness program.

Gary worked with team members Sarah Dietrich, Carter Innerst, Joe Buletza and Cora Agar. “There was never a day where I did not feel welcome," he said. "It was a true family atmosphere, and I am so thankful for Select Physical Therapy.”

On the morning of October 8, 2023, Gary began his journey up the Thousand Steps alongside family and friends. It took him five and a half hours to complete, and he inspired every person he passed along the way.

Way to go, Gary! We’re so proud of your accomplishment and happy to have played a role in your recovery journey.
