I thought I was headed to surgery (again) because of my headaches and arm numbness/tingling. My doctor thought we could try injections or PT; I chose PT. After 12 treatments, I feel great and am relieved I can postpone cerivical fusion. Michelle M., 11/22/09 I came with a bad back and in less than 3.5 months, I feel better than ever! Ashleigh Tassin, 12/3/09 After two weeks of disabling back pain and visiting a physical therapist in Houston where I currently live, I told my wife, "I need to see Philippe at Dutch Physical Therapy." This was on the morning of November 22nd, the Sunday before Thanksgiving. By 3 pm my family and I had left for Baton Rouge. After receiving treatment for three consecutive days over 90% of my pain was gone. Having received PT treatment from Philippe when I resided in Louisiana, I knew the 3 days off of work would be a worthwhile investment. Josh Causey, 12/2/09 Chris is AWESOME!

If you want to see improvement then this is the place to be. Cristiana B, 03/2009. I came in with 2 herniated discs and a bulging disc in my lower lumbar. After my 1st visit, I left pain free and was able to sleep pain free that night for the first time in 4 weeks.

I could hardly stand or sit- They had me back to normal within a short time. I came back last year for therapy after double knee surgery. I could hardly walk. I also fell in October 2007 and broke my wrist. Today I am walking normally with little or no pain in my knees or wrist. I recommend Dutch Physical Therapy to everyone I can help. They have revived so many people. Their treatments and philosophies are so different than other therapists. They are the best!! Lynease B., 11/2009 In 2006, I scheduled a doctor’s appointment to find out why I was constantly having pain and discomfort on my left side, back, and leg. After an MRI was taken, I was informed that I had two bulging discs in the lower back that was causing the problem. I was told to take an over the counter pain relief pill and to return for a check-up within a year if the problem didn’t resolve itself. Almost a year past and I requested to see another physician concerning the problem that was unresolved. During my doctor’s visit, I was asked to consider a physical therapist and it was recommended by the physician that I try Dutch Physical Therapy. I agreed and went for a consultation session and began therapy the following week. From the first week of therapy I noticed a difference. Philippe Veeters began showing me the exercises that would be most beneficial for relieving back pain and discomfort. He took the time to explain charts and discussed my posture and the importance of improving it. I was given two books that thoroughly explained and provided solutions for the problems I was encountering with my back and, to my surprise, also my neck. Thanks to Philippe Veeters, PT The atmosphere is pleasant Even from the very first visit My experience has been rewarding Ms. Beacher In December of 2004, I fell from 4 stories high while working. My injuries were severe and after therapy I still could not do much at all. Then my doctor suggested I try Dutch Physical Therapy. It has been the best choice made. The difference it has made to my life is major. I now am able to get out and do things that I couldn’t before I started. I owe a lot to my friends at Dutch. Glenn “Red” After two unsuccessful attempts at physical therapy with two different physical therapist, I had all but given up till I came to Dutch Physical Therapy.

Alice P. I have been seeing Philippe occasionally since the early 1990’s for pinched nerves causes by bone spurs. Until this recent visit I have not needed therapy for 3 years.

Upon Starting my therapy at Dutch Physical Therapy, I could not lift my arms above my head due to neck pain and numbness in hands and arms. Upon completion of therapy, I had no problem in lifting not only my arms, but heavy objects above my head and had no neck pain or numbness. I have not felt this good in a number of years! Stephen A.

Mirjam really helped me to gain control of my pain. I failed to do all I needed to do, and I had to come back. I have been coming for about 4 weeks now and am really making progress. I have referred several peopled to Dutch PT over the last 3 years and will continue to do so. Thanks Mirjam! Ruth A. When I turned 40, my back began to ache sporadically. I continued to work through the pain, though sometimes it was almost unbearable. Even with the advice of five different doctors and four physical therapists who determined that I suffered from bulging disks, the pain continued and worsened. Finally, I was referred by a pain management doctor to Dutch Physical Therapy. After nearly five years of poor results, I was reluctant and had little hope that they would improve my condition. On my first visit with Philippe Veeters, the physical therapist from Dutch, I noticed a tremendous difference – my pain relief was nearly unbelievable. It had been years since I had felt so good. Philippe taught me how to improve my current situation, as well as, prevention of further occurrences through education and proper exercise. I truly feel as though the efforts of Philippe at Dutch Physical Therapy has improved the quality of my life – allowing me to work and play without the constant struggle with back pain. Anonymous I had severe pain in my left leg when I started therapy. After 4 therapy sessions, the pain was completely gone. I was 100% mobile after therapy. Robert R Jennifer is the best therapist I have worked with. She clearly demonstrated proper form and function that allowed me to execute the exercise with the maximum benefit. She gently and politely encouraged me to work on my back outside scheduled times. I especially enjoyed her explanation of what was occuring and how it would improve. I will recommend Dutch Physical Therapy to all my friends. J. Smith |
