Our Success Stories

I was referred to Dan Haas for massage therapy to treat my back pain from a herniated disc. I drive from Mars on a weekly basis to be treated by Dan and the results have been tremendous. He is extremely personable and passionate about helping others. Kevin K.
They made PT fun and supportive and worked within my busy work schedule, which made it a much smoother process than I'd originally anticipated. It’s evident they truly care about their patients. Tiffany C.
After trying many other Physical Therapy companies, I found Hess physical therapy in Kennedy Township. I am so happy that I made the call. The attention and care that you receive from this knowledgeable staff is amazing. I cannot say enough about them. I found my home for PT. Anna C.

The Recovery Process

Learn about the 5 phases of recovery

Click on a phase number to learn more.

- Pain Relief
  
  Reducing pain, swelling, and inflammation are common goals in this phase of recovery. Injury protection, elevation, appropriate medications, compression, and patient education are important.
- Introduce Movement
  
  Pain-free passive, manual therapy, active range of motion, and cardiorespiratory exercises, are indicated here. Education about pain and a positive attitude may help.
- Strengthening
  
  Progressive loading of healing soft tissues, the reintroduction of low-stress neuromuscular reeducation, balance training, and basic functional activities are part of this rehabilitation phase.
- Functional Retraining
  
  Progressing strengthening exercises, improving flexibility, and advanced balance exercises are part of phase 4. Resuming functional movement (e.g. sports movements) occurs in this phase.
- Recovery & Prevention
  
  Functional movements are progressed, a controlled re-introduction to sports or challenging environments is initiated. Continued strengthening, flexibility, balance, endurance, and goal-specific training occurs during this phase. Education and future injury prevention are discussed.
