Dr. Latshaw ordered physical therapy to address problems with both my shoulders. In January, I began working with therapist Matt Martin. We worked together twice a week for at least five weeks.

Matt was very personable and a good communicator. I could explain how certain efforts in exercises were affecting me. If a weight was too much he would adjust to what I could do and plan how to build up the exercise slowly. Prior to working with exercises or weights he would deep massage my shoulders especially the one that was the most impacted to free up more movement. Matt was open to my comments and I felt validated and more of a partner in my efforts. By the end of the therapy sessions mobility in my shoulders was markedly improved and the pain lessened to a great degree.

Matt taught me how to use the weights and bands to accomplish success which I am still using to increase strength and mobility. Matt is an asset to Ortho One and I would work with him again if the need arises.
