MDT As First Choice. (Kudos to Dr. Gross!)

"After years of chronic back pain and giving up most physical activities, I had an episode that was so painful I couldn’t bend forward even enough to brush my teeth. I was in chronic pain 24/7 with no relief. My doctor suggested I come to Maccio Physical Therapy. I was hesitant to come because I was in so much pain and moving was difficult but I figured he is trying to help me so I must follow his advice and do my part. I’m so glad I did. At Maccio PT I found compassion, understanding and most of all hope! I learned techniques to help myself at anytime without having to make appointments every time I have issues. And they work! I’ve seen several chiropractors and two back surgeons over the years and felt like there was no hope. I feel like I have been giving the tools to help myself and if I do have to come back I won’t hesitate. The people here are fabulous! I highly recommend Maccio PT. They will take time to listen and go over and above to find the cause of your pain and fix it." - Christine

The Power of Patient Education and Self Treatment

"I came to Maccio Physical Therapy after little success or improvement in my herniated disc at previous generic physical therapy offices. Throughout my past experiences, I felt I was just showing up to the office and getting told to do exercise A, B and C with no real explanation or direction for after I left the office. I didn’t feel I was in control or equipped to handle my condition in between my appointments.

Related imageThe education and empowerment I was given from Joe Maccio made me hopeful and gave me assurance that I, in fact, could control the outcome of my condition. It seemed that where Maccio Physical Therapy and previous physical therapy offices differed was in the patient education component after the office visit was over. I think that was and is the most important part of my healing process. Taking the initiative with the knowledge received is the difference in getting better or not."
