Testimonials
About 9 months ago I suffered my first serious orthopedic injury at the age of 59, after a lifetime of athletic and daily physical activity. Being active duty military and in the 6 to 8 times a week, I was very concerned with finding care that would help heal a severe shoulder injury. As a health care provider myself, I was very particular about the quality of expertise of the therapists who would care for me. I was very fortunate to be referred to Main street Physical Therapy to undergo three months of treatment under the watchful eyes of mark, melanie, and their staff. I have completed 20 visits at this point and have experienced great gains in pain relief, range of motion and function. With an initial determination that surgical intervention would almost be certainly be necessary, I was pleasantly surprised when the latest visit to my orthopedic surgeon resulted in a decision that a risky shoulder surgery is not necessary at this time and that a continuation of the physical therapy prescribed by Main street Physical Therapy may stabilize the joint to the point where I will never have to undergo surgery, if you are here for the first time you will find in-depth professional understanding, a very friendly staff, well-supervised therapy with an upbeat attitude and frequent progress assessments with adjustments to therapy prescribed when necessary. I have a number of different options as to where I am treated; I choose to continue here at main Street.
My bottom line for success is simplistic: no surgery; the strength and confidence to be back in the gym every day; and, most importantly, out on the golf course without pain. So far, so good!

When the doctor first told me that I would need 2 total knee replacements I was scared to death. After my first knee replacement, the doctor sent me to physical therapy. I walked into Main Street Physical Therapy fearful that I would not be able to do what normal people do. What a shock! I was transported to the tropics….palm trees, monkeys, and blue sky welcomed me. I then met Mark Plante P.T. he was smiling and reassuring that I would be fine. The first time I got on the bike , fear took hold and I was afraid I would break my knee. Mark’s well trained staff came to my rescue with solid tools and compassion. I succeeded after six weeks of excellent PT. I regained full range of my first knee. In part, I believe this was why walking anxious to have my second knee replacement. I am now on my second round od PT (for my 2nd knee replacement.) the level of compassion and skill has actually increased.
Watch me run!

My orthopedic surgeon told me that the post op recovery from my rotator cuff surgery would be anything but a "walk in the park" and he was absolutely correct! I arrived in Yuma from Vancouver, Washington for my second round of physical therapy.
To say that Melanie Johnson was an outstanding therapist would be a total understatement! In the short time I was there, Melanie made such a huge difference in my post op progress....physically and emotionally. She seemed to sense and understand what I was going through without my even opening my mouth.
She explained everything she was doing with me in total lay language and further explained why she was doing it. When I left Yuma, I wanted to clone her and take her with me! What an asset this wonderful lady is to your clinic....along with Alex#1 and Alex #2... the lovely young ladies at the front desk...along with you and the rest of the staff! I wear my MSPT t-shirt proudly to my therapy sessions here in Casa Grande and they all tease me about it!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making such a profound difference in this lady's life....I appreciate all of you!

Jan Andersen, the wonderful therapist at Main Street P.T. in Yuma, AZ asked me if she could try a new type of taping therapy for the lympedema which had developed in my arm following my breast lumpectomy and lymph node surgery. I agreed to try it even though it seemed strange. However, the results proved very successful in taking the swelling down.
She took this special tape which was about 2-1/2 in. wide and cut it into 7 small strips, leaving them all attached. She then began at my shoulder and fanned them out down to the elbow. Then did the same with two more sets from the elbow to the wrist and then one strip from the wrist to the fingers. It was amazing how I could even shower with it on for a week. The tape causes no itching or irritation. It is truly much more comfortable than the sleeve.
I would also recommend Jan especially as she is so thorough in her therapy and very caring and encouraging.

To Mark Plante and all his associates at Main Street Physical therapy,
The cane now leans against a closet door, the knee brace hides in a drawer and my eighty-six year old knee is pain free thanks to the carefully planned exercises given at Main Street Therapy.
I was carefully coached so each movement was done correctly. Each patient was treated with friendly encouragement. Always each session was begun on time, always a patient could ask questions and receive clear answers. To gain proper results the work became increasingly intense, but freedom of movement was the reward.
The atmosphere in the entire place is happy, murals of ocean and palm trees, toy jungle creatures, blue skylights with fluffy clouds fill every room and reflect life and light. Main Street Therapy gives the psychological lift a patient needs, plus the treatment techniques that bring improved health.
THANKS TO ALL OF YOU!

I am a 78 year-old woman. On 11/9/07 I had rotator cuff surgery in Salem, Oregon. I started therapy on 11/26/07 at Main Street Physical Therapy with Mark Plante. Mark's goal is to get you well. He and the staff are patient, professional and caring. My shoulder is a true success story and I am very grateful.
