Patient Testimonials
My advice to others is to stay positive, set goals, and work hard to achieve them.
I came to Chesterton Physical Therapy because I suffered a major injury due to recurrent dislocation of the patellofemoral joint in my left knee which caused a torn ligament and fractured patella. I had to have a full reconstruction of the medial patella-femoral ligament and reattachment of the fractured patella. I am a competitive dancer at Eclipse Performing Arts so a quick but successful recovery was very important to me. I received excellent care from Greg. He was very considerate of my goals to return to dancing at the high level I was performing prior to my injury/surgery. He tailored my treatment plan by incorporating dance techniques to help me reach my goals ahead of schedule. I would not have been able to achieve these goals without Greg. My advice to others is to stay positive, set goals, and work hard to achieve them.

I will recommend my friends to come here because they will get better.
This was not my first time coming to Chesterton Physical Therapy. 23 years ago I had an accident and hurt my neck. Greg has worked on my neck and my posture. The tension and headaches are completely gone. I love my therapy here and how I am headache free. My posture and neck position have improved. I will recommend my friends to come here because they will get better.

Some of the exercises can be a little tough, however, keep at it for a great outcome!
I had heard of a couple of great recommendations (about CPT) and wanted to improve the strength and mobility of my knee. Every day I was greeted by smiling, friendly faces and knowledgeable therapists that are really comminited to help you improve. Carol made it fun and productive! Some of the exercises can be a little tough, however, keep at it for a great outcome!

I can now walk straight and tall, have no pain and have even lost some weight!
I had been going to different health clubs and therapy sessions for my left knee. My knee hurt from sitting for long periods and for years I wore a knee stabilizer. When I first came to CPT, my left knee was stiff and was popping. I was unable to walk or stand for long periods of time, wobbling when I walked and always feeling stiff. My advice to others is to seek help from CPT. If you have gone to several health clubs and therapy clinics, do not give up. After coming to CPT, I can now walk straight and tall, have no pain and have even lost some weight!

I have straight knee and stronger ankles with a sexier new walk!
I had a knee replacement and had been to CPT before and knew this is where I wanted to be to do my therapy. My experience has been very productive here. There were a lot of challenges I needed to go through because even though it was my knee I can in for, my ankles were very weak and my endurance was low. CPT came up with new ways to strengthen my legs and improve my gait. I walked in like a penguin when I first came, and now I am walking normal while leaving! Trust the treatment, it works! Here at CPT they work on the whole problem, not just the area you came in for. I came in for my knee and how I have straight knee and stronger ankles with a sexier new walk!

Do your homework, it really works!
I came in for lower back pain, and did not think I would ever be the same. After coming to CPT, I am better than ever. Even on the hard days, I felt better leaving here after every visit. Planks were tough, as I could only do them for 10 seconds at first. In four weeks, I increased to 60 seconds and now I understand core training more than ever. Do your homework, it really works!
Lisa W.
My advice is to continue to do the exercises that your therapist gives you no matter how silly it seems at first. It really does work.
I came to Chesterton Physical Therapy because I was re-injured in a recent auto accident involving a semi-trailer. I needed to rebuild strength, lessen tension and straighten my pelvis. The pain in my right shoulder is gone after 20 years. I really can’t believe the relief I have gotten from physical therapy. I still have some pain, but it is now easier to cope with. My advice is to continue to do the exercises that your therapist gives you no matter how silly it seems at first. It really does work.
April C.
I also could do some of mine at work. Thank you very much Greg and James!!
I came to Chesterton Physical Therapy because I had a frozen left shoulder. The therapists taught me different ways to stay stretched. When I first started with them, I could barely lift my arm from my hip. Now I can reach above my head again and I can also put my arm behind my back again. I also changed my work station for my posture. My advice is to listen to them and do your exercises at home, don’t just do them at physical therapy. I also could do some of mine at work. Thank you very much Greg and James!!
Valerie K.
My advice is to sit up straight and do the exercises.

My advice to others is if they come here for therapy that their problems will improve and get better.
I came to Chesterton Physical Therapy previously for physical therapy. I like them and their services. I came this time for occupational therapy. Before, my hand was so weak. Now I have very good strength. I had bad tremors in my hand that are getting better. My advice to others is if they come here for therapy that their problems will improve and get better.

The exercises for my homework were always spot on!
I had shoulder replacement surgery and felt like this would be a great place since my wife already came here twice for 2 different surgeries. My concerns with the new shoulder were strength and mobility. I always felt more mobile after each session. The exercises for my homework were always spot on!
John K.
They have guided me with the needed exercises to achieve my goals.
I have been amazed at the care I have received at Chesterton Physical Therapy.The staff are so knowledgeable and work closely with Dr.Singh.Anytime I’ve had a session I am the total focus of the therapist-they give me 100% of their time to me in my sessions and they really care about my improvement. Since first coming I have improved with being able to have a more normal life and able to have more quality life with less pain. I look forward to continuing and acquiring the life I once had and I know exercising here will be a big part of that. They have guided me with the needed exercises to achieve my goals.

Robert D.
He could not be happier that he finally is able to receive truly effective treatment for his back pain.
Edward came to Chesterton Physical Therapy with extremely high hopes. He had surgery on his back for a herniated disc, but he still wasn’t back to normal. Even after the surgery, he still could not walk or stand for more than 5 minutes due to the extreme back pain he experienced. He tried physical therapy right after his surgery elsewhere, but he felt it did not help him at all. After just 3 weeks of physical and deep tissue laser therapy with us, he can already stand for long periods of time again and even walk with no pain. He says that the combination of the physical therapy and the deep tissue laser therapy is working wonders for him. He raved that the one on one care he is receiving is like nothing he has ever experienced before. He also added that he loves the personalized treatments and personal attention from the staff. Edward says that he is on the road to true recovery. He could not be happier that he finally is able to receive truly effective treatment for his back pain.

She feels that her experience here as a whole was great and that she loved everyone she came in contact with because they were very friendly and helpful.
Marilyn came to us with severe back pain that was negatively taking over her life. She had to give up everything due to her back pain. She avoided sitting down, she couldn’t drive, and she even missed her class reunion because of it. The only way she felt remotely okay was by standing up. After completing treatment at Chesterton PT, she was able to take back her life and become totally active again. During her time here, she worked with Greg and Traci the most. She says that she learned a lot from both of them. They taught her what she needed to do at home, how to do it, and how to maintain her strength once she got it back. She feels that her experience here as a whole was great and that she loved everyone she came in contact with because they were very friendly and helpful.
Marilyn E.
There is no question that if I need any type of physical therapy in the future, there is no other place I would rather go for treatment.
My most recent problem was adhesive capsulitis in my right shoulder. Greg and Eric started me on a program that very quickly produced improvement in my range of motion and pain reduction. Everyone that I worked with was very thorough and informative, which made my therapy the most positive experience possible. There is no question that if I need any type of physical therapy in the future, there is no other place I would rather go for treatment.
Mike D.
He even showed his preacher some exercises that he learned in therapy.
Before starting therapy, Darrell had severe leg cramps that caused him to be unable to walk long distances, kneel, or use a ladder. Since completing therapy, he is now able to do everything that he couldn’t before again. He credits Melynda with being the biggest part of his recovery. He says that she made his treatment easy to follow, explained everything thoroughly, and didn’t pressure him to do anything he didn’t want to. Overall, he says that Chesterton Physical Therapy is a wonderful place that he will tell everyone he can about. He even showed his preacher some exercises that he learned in therapy.
Darrell R.
She feels that her condition improved immensely and could not be happier with her results.
Shirley came to us with a shoulder problem that caused her to be unable to move or lift her entire left arm. After receiving successful therapy, she is now able to not only move her arm again but also lift it up and even move it backward. She says that she truly looked forward to coming to therapy every week because everyone she worked with made it very fun and enjoyable. She feels that her condition improved immensely and could not be happier with her results.

CPT helped me a ton over the summer of 2017, and I cannot thank them enough!
Before Chesterton Physical Therapy (CPT), I had a lot of limitations with my hamstring, including soccer (which is my favorite sport). Many daily activities like walking upstairs, sitting down in a car for prolonged periods, and moving in a chair would aggravate my left hamstring. In soccer, I could not jump, sprint, kick with my left leg, or run for more than 10 minutes. Just in three quick months, all of the limitations vanished. As of now, I can do any physical activity and inverted maneuvers with ease. CPT helped me a ton over the summer of 2017, and I cannot thank them enough!

She says if she has any other issues, she will definitely be coming back for help!
We first met Debra when she attended our booth at the Art of Aging Expo event in August of 2017. Luckily, she won our raffle we did at the event for free deep tissue laser therapy treatments. She decided to do the laser therapy on her foot for her plantar fasciitis. After just her 2nd treatment with Chandra, she said her foot felt really good instantly after receiving the treatment & the pain was barely there anymore. At her 3rd treatment with Dr. Dimple, she said that she had no pain at all. She says that her experience as a whole was excellent as she felt Chandra & Dr. Dimple both answered all of her questions, were easy to talk to, made her feel comfortable, had excellent manners, and even offered advice and stretches to do to prevent any further pain from occurring. She adds that she felt they gave her information she wishes other doctors would have gave her when she initially learned about her condition. She says if she has any other issues, she will definitely be coming back for help!
Debra W.
She credits Dr. Dimple for helping her realize her true potential & says that she is forever grateful that she was able to work with her.
Diana was initially introduced to us when her husband was a patient. She then started therapy for her balance issues with Dr. Dimple. Upon completing her successful therapy plan, she heard about the Fit For Life program. She was skeptical at first, but Dr. Dimple convinced her to give it a try. On her first day, she was taught how to use every single one of the exercise machines & guided through the process. She was amazed at how attentive & helpful the staff was. She says that every time she came in to exercise, there was always a staff member giving her tips & offering to help. Now, she is ecstatic about her fitness regimen. She absolutely loves coming to yoga classes & says that everyone loves it just as much as her; they all inspire one another. She says that her son referred her to another fitness center at first, but once he heard about the unmatched, personalized care she was getting, he was so glad she came to Chesterton PT instead. This past August was her 1 year anniversary of being a Fit For Life member; she has lost a total of 44 pounds & counting! Diana could not be happier with her ongoing journey towards being healthier & says that she will definitely be a member FOR LIFE! She credits Dr. Dimple for helping her realize her true potential & says that she is forever grateful that she was able to work with her.

Furthermore, Dimple and Vicky taught me how the physiology of my knees , hip and feet contributed to my problem and to its solution.
After 6 weeks of physical therapy my knees are almost totally without pain and I am able to have a much more active lifestyle.

Jane B.
Thank you for taking care of me and assuring me to move forward.
After having back surgery and being told by other physical therapy places that nothing can be done and being on pain killers/ cortisone shots for 2 years my pain got worse and legs got weaker. With my Dr’s recommendation I agreed to take one last step and began physical therapy here at Chesterton PT. I can now climb my stairs not only once but several times a day and I have resumed all normal activities of daily life. Now my fear is gone and I know how to handle my flare ups. Thank you for taking care of me and assuring me to move forward.
Robin B.
Dimple and her staff were informative during every step on my path to recovery besides being gentle and patient. Thank you.
After lifting/ carrying wrought iron furniture which was too heavy for me, I had pain in my chest, left shoulder and shoulder blade with numbness and tingling in my left hand and fingers. Medication from the doctor did not help nor did the spinal manipulations of a chiropractor. People suggested that I talk to a surgeon about this and I was scared! Thank goodness I discovered Chesterton physical therapy. Among other things my treatment included ”manual therapy” to improve soft tissue and joint mobility, neuromuscular re education for posture and proprioception and return to functional mobility. I was just” healed.” After several treatments over few weeks, I was sent home with descriptive exercises and diagrams so I could safely continue regaining my strength and flexibility. Dimple and her staff were informative during every step on my path to recovery besides being gentle and patient. Thank you.

Everyone here will give you the resources and support to do well and get better but only you can make yourself better.
A few months ago I had broken my right ankle and had to have surgery a week after. I could not walk very well after it healed so my doctor recommended physical therapy. I soon after decided to come to Chesterton Physical Therapy. It was one of the best decisions I ever made. I will forever recommend such a great place to anyone who needs a PT location. My ankle was swollen and unable to move around very well but with everyone’s support and patience I was discharged in no time. I can walk, run, skip, jump, etc. with no pain all thanks to James, Greg, and Martha. My advice to others is always do your part! You won’t get better if you don’t put forth the effort. Everyone here will give you the resources and support to do well and get better but only you can make yourself better.
Nancy A.
My advice to others is to stay firmly committed to the program and really try to complete exercises at home.
I came to Chesterton Physical Therapy originally because I saw an advertisement and came to a seminar. I was very happy about the progress made. Therefore when there was another problem, I wanted the same great quality I had received in the past. The individual attention to the detail of the actual treatment as well as the variety of options seem to produce better results than other therapy programs I have tried in the past. My advice to others is to stay firmly committed to the program and really try to complete exercises at home.
Jerry M.
I would recommend anyone with issues to come here.
I came to Chesterton Physical Therapy for scoliosis, pinched nerves, and muscle spasms. I needed to make the pain go away so I can perform daily activities. I’ve learned to have and keep good posture. I have no more pain and if so I have learned to focus on what I’m doing wrong and how to make things back to normal. My advice to others is whatever your therapist tells you to do, do it. They are real professionals on getting the pain away and staying gone! I would recommend anyone with issues to come here.
Toni T.
So keep at it! Do not give up!
I came to Chesterton Physical Therapy to follow up after a surgery I had done on my left foot. I learned how to put on pants while standing, how to take it easy at the creek, and how to stand in the creek while fishing. I know some things may seem impossible right now, but just give it time. I thought I’d never be able to put on shorts, pants, and socks while standing. So keep at it! Do not give up!

Come with an open mind and a willingness to experiment.
I came to Chesterton Physical Therapy because I hurt my knee and it was not getting better with just rest and ice. I have had knee pain before during my normal activities of running and other general exercise, but never sought help when it hurt. This time I decided to get help. I now know exercises to help strengthen the muscles that affect my knee and running. My knee pain is virtually nonexistent and now I feel more confident because of the stretches and exercises I have learned. Stick with it and do your homework. Come with an open mind and a willingness to experiment.

"Reviving My Strength: Chesterton Physical Therapy Center Helped Me Overcome My Neck Issues"
My go to physical therapist was booked out like 8 months so my wife did some research and found this place. Maribel was able to get me an appointment within a few days. She is personable and highly skilled at her profession. She is very aggressive in treating your problems and will pull out every option to help you. I have an on going neck issue that flares up a few times a year and I require therapy. She quickly evaluated my issue and used techniques I never had such as dry needling, laser therapy and more. Within 2 sessions I started to feel better. Plus the home exercises were easy to understand and not overwhelming. I can’t thank them enough for the care I received. As a small business owner its vital for me to be strong for employees, customers and my family. Maribel took that very seriously and went right to work.

"The Support System I Needed: My Experience with Chesterton Physical Therapy After Hip Replacement"
I had my hip replaced at the end of January 2023 and two weeks after I started at Chesterton Physical Therapy. My experience there has been nothing short of exemplary. I was warmly greeted by all the staff, especially Maribel 🙂 and they put me at ease at a time when I was hurting and scared. Slowly I improved weekly and with caring and patience the staff helped me every step of the way. My main therapist Corey was wonderful, kind, knowledgeable and professional. He was careful with me but at the same time pushed me to do my best and was the main reason I improved so quickly. Mel and Will helped me as well and they were great too. From the technicians that used the laser on me to the friendly staff at the desk, the experience was top notch. I can’t forget the smiley and fun massage therapist Becky who was the reason I came there as she helped my husband in the past. I’m so thankful to be better, but am going to miss them now that I have been released. Thank you guys- you are the best!

Old dogs can learn new tricks.
I came to Chesterton Physical Therapy because I had sciatica which was worsening when normally it would improve on it’s own. It started affecting my sleep so I thought I would give physical therapy a try. Glad I did! My pain is gone after a short period of time. I have had to re-learn about being aware of my posture and know what exercises to do if pain returns and continue to the home exercises. My advice to others is don’t think pain is just a part of getting old. Old dogs can learn new tricks.

My advice to others is no matter how pointless, insane, or impossible an exercise they come up with seems to you, roll with it because they do know what will work.
I came to Chesterton Physical Therapy this time around because I knew I would be happy with the treatment and results. I was having balance and eye tracking issues. I did not even realize it was affecting my life as much as they were. Now that it is taken care of it’s hard to believe I didn’t notice before. The benefit I got was I am no longer feeling like I am going to fall multiple times a day. If a moment happens where I do lose my balance I can catch myself without having to hold onto anything. My advice to others is no matter how pointless, insane, or impossible an exercise they come up with seems to you, roll with it because they do know what will work.
Pamela B.
My advice to others is do what you are told and have patience.

It's worth it and you're worth it.
I cannot say enough good things about Chesterton Physical Therapy. I had capsulitis(frozen shoulder) and low back issues. Everyone was very professional and personable. Sam at the front desk was always welcoming and would do her best to schedule appointments to meet my needs. The physical therapists, Greg and James, were excellent, patient, and gave their full attention in every session. Since I worked primarily with Greg, I want to acknowledge him for his good humor and for recognizing the type of communication and direction that works best for me. Knowing why each exercise or stretch was important and where I should feel it motivated me to do my homework. I was excited to observe my own progress, like actually being able to reach behind my back when I couldn’t do it the week prior. I learned how to lift properly and to do easy stretches that allow me to read in bed without aggravating my back. I not only regained the use of my shoulder but learned techniques to maintain my shoulder and lower back going forward. They have already become a part of my daily routine. Greg taught me more than I ever expected to get from the physical therapy experience. My advice to other patients is to make yourself a priority, even in your busy life, and do your homework consistently. It’s worth it and you’re worth it.

My advice is for you to do your home exercises as you are suppose to!
I couldn’t work because of a meniscus tear. After surgery, I came to CPT for therapy. I had a scar tissue issue from the surgery, and they were able to pinpoint it quick! I soon was able to walk and do all my normal activities without the aid of a cane and/or brace. I was able to strengthen my core while here as well. My advice is for you to do your home exercises as you are suppose to!

They are very knowledgeable and fun to work with!
I have been to CPT for previous problems, and when I got an order for PT on my knee, I knew where to come. I had troubles squatting and working out in the yard. Between Dimple and the PTAs, I have improved and can squat with little trouble. With the exercise program that was given, I feel much better and more limber. I have been able to do my exercises at home due to a busy family life. I advise to patients that if you have physical problems, don’t hesitate to see the people in the office. They are very knowledgeable and fun to work with!

“Listen to the therapists and work hard at home, as it will pay off!”
I came into Chesterton Physical Therapy with knee issues. It was quite hard to do my normal ability while on vacation in Europe. From the help of the therapists, and exercises, I felon my next big trip I will be able to perform with no issues. Word of advice, “Listen to the therapists and work hard at home, as it will pay off!”

I advise other patients to make sure they are doing their at home exercises and to be patient with the process.
I came to Chesterton PT because I was having pelvic issues. Before I came, I experienced many problems during daily movements. With Nicole and Carol’s help I have seen significant improvements since I began physical therapy. I advise other patients to make sure they are doing their at home exercises and to be patient with the process.

A world of thanks to the wonderful staff for their concern and the great help!
I came to CPT because it was close and accepted my insurance. I had seen CPT advertised and I can say I could not have found a better place to do my therapy! When I started therapy I could not walk for 10 minutes without pain in my legs. Now I can walk 3-4 miles!! My balance and gait have really improved. One can benefit from a very friendly, knowledgeable and extremely concerned staff. The notes they keep on your progress is a great way to see how much you really have improved! I advise patients to adhere to the exercise routines they make for you. A world of thanks to the wonderful staff for their concern and the great help!
David M.
I advise to not give up! Don’t be afraid!!
I came to CPT because of the intense pain in my neck, right arm, lower back and hips. I couldn’t drive, write or read! The staff here helped me be able to function fully again! The personalized exercise program when implemented at CPT and home exercises made a tremendous difference. I feel hopeful and younger again! I advise to not give up! Don’t be afraid!!

Whatever you hate most is the area that needs the most work!
I have multiple sclerosis (MS), which affects several parts of my body. My balance is most severely affected. I also fatigue easily. My hand writing is almost illegible. My balance has greatly improved and my core strength is better! Do your homework! Whatever you hate most is the area that needs the most work!
Claudia H.
I feel much better now.
I came to Chesterton Physical Therapy because I had shoulder pain. I worked with the occupational therapists and I had a great experience. I am happy I heard about this place and got to work with some great people. Thank you CPT! I feel much better now.
Maria K.
My first “milestone” was being able to raise my arm enough to wash my armpit and apply deodorant. Stick with it!
I had shoulder replacement surgery in late December and required physical therapy to regain my range of motion. Post surgery I was unable to raise my arm above horizontal. I spent several weeks with minimal improvement. Then with Martha’s help everything began to get more normal. Greg & she both told me that shoulders take a long time to rehab. They were correct! My first “milestone” was being able to raise my arm enough to wash my armpit and apply deodorant. Stick with it!
George B.
Come to Chesterton Physical Therapy!
I had experienced a neck injury at a local café. My treatment with Carol and Dimple has been very thorough and successful. I’m very glad my Doctor referred me to CPT. My headaches and neck stiffness are no longer an issue thanks to these professionals! Keep active; seek help for any injury or physical impairments, etc: Come to Chesterton Physical Therapy!
Irene M.
I love you all, and thank you! Especially Greg, Tristan, and Dimple!
Being here before for my back, there was no question to come back here for my neck, shoulders, and arm issues because of the excellent service. Due to acute pain, it limited me from sleeping, doing housework, and lifting. It was miserable not being able to do the things that needed to be done. I’m in tears with joy now that I’m so much better, I even was able to completely lift my arm straight up today! The therapists here are so professional at what they do, including their gift of humor. I love it. I feel so comfortable here and blessed knowing this healing place. I love you all, and thank you! Especially Greg, Tristan, and Dimple!
Sandra M.
You will only improve if you do the work.
I came to Chesterton Physical Therapy for help with my problems with balance and walking due to MS. While I was here I was able to learn how to engage my core while walking and balancing. A word of advice for other patients is to put in the work they make you do. You will only improve if you do the work.
Claudia H.
Since coming to CPT I have really improved!
My daughter had come to CPT for her needs and really thought I would like them. Chandra and Matt were very helpful with my occupational therapy for my wrist and hands. Since coming to CPT I have really improved!
Kathleen R.
I guess Chandra rubs off on everyone!
At work I ripped my wedding ring off on a ladder. I didn’t give it much thought, but when I saw the doctor the next day, I was actually close to losing my finger, and immediately had to do intense therapy. It was a slow process, but eventually the finger started feeling and looking better. I learned a lot from being here, and will use the experiences and exercises for the rest of my life. I never needed therapy before the accident, but I know this crew is very professional and really care about their patients! I highly recommend CPT! Everyone here is very friendly and helpful, and very professional with a great sense of humor! I guess Chandra rubs off on everyone!
Michael G.
If you do it, it will double or triple your results!
I could not get my arm straight over my head. I had pain trying to raise my elbow to shoulder level. Over the weeks Carol slowly stretched the shoulder out and eventually regained most of its flexibility. I can get my arm straight over my head now! Do the exercises faithfully between sessions. If you do it, it will double or triple your results!
Tom U.
Do the exercises they give you for home, they really help!
I had a car accident and needed tibial plateau surgery. I needed to learn to walk right again. My experience here was great. The physical therapists challenged me with my leg exercises and I am back to normal. Do the exercises they give you for home, they really help!
Matthew D.
Gail-L When you have problems, this is the place to come!
When I started at CPT I was having pain and muscle spasms in my neck and arm. I wasn’t able to lift my arm in front of me or over my head. Now the spasms are gone and I can raise my arm quite well! I feel much stronger and more capable to live a full life. Every person is friendly, helpful and encouraging! Dimple and Greg are very knowledgeable and all the PTAs are great. When you have problems, this is the place to come!
Gail L.
Thank you, Nicole and Martha!
I have a progressive disease and was having a flare-up and needed training on muscles that were not working as well as they used to. I had a hard time walking with my left leg dropping. Doing the light speed got me concentrating on my walking form and targeting the muscles I need to strengthen. It gave me the courage to keep walking without fear of falling. Listen to your therapist. Power through and listen to your body. Take everything they teach you and use it in your everyday life. Thank you, Nicole and Martha!
Stacy V.
Keep stretching and doing your exercises every day, and don’t give up!
I came in for a right shoulder injury. I had a great time learning and getting better. I had minimal right arm movement and I have full range of motion now. I’m a lot stronger than I was a few months ago. Keep stretching and doing your exercises every day, and don’t give up!
Chip S.
Follow the at home program you may be given, even when it seems impossible.
I was referred to CPT and came here for issues with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. I wanted to get a handle on the issue and be able to do activities I was able to do before. Before coming to CPT I was almost unable to use my right arm. I had severe difficulty writing, gripping objects, and struggled with everyday activities. Through stretches I was taught, laser therapy, anodyne, and fluido I improved. I was taught things I could do to help during flare ups and it has been so helpful. Matt and Chandra have been so helpful and amazing to work with. Believe in CPT, they are very knowledgeable and go above and beyond for their patients. Follow the at home program you may be given, even when it seems impossible.

Make sure you do your exercises in the office and at home!
I came to CPT after I was in a car accident that left me with a concussion and whiplash. I had intense pain that left me having trouble lifting objects and doing daily activities. Now I have no pain doing activities. I have learned a lot about how to get each muscle group to work together. Make sure you do your exercises in the office and at home!

Do your home exercises and always stay positive.
I came to Chesterton Physical Therapy originally because of back pain but came back because I was having issues with my shoulder. I have gained strength in all areas. I have more range of motion and most of my pain is gone. Physical therapy works as long as you work hard with your therapist. Keep pushing hard to regain strength in your problem area. Do your home exercises and always stay positive.

You will be amazed at your progress.

Mary J.
I would recommend them to anyone with any problem big or small!
I started here due to my shoulder pain the first time and there was some improvement. After going to my doctor for an MRI I found out that I had to have a very extensive shoulder surgery due to a stroke I had a year ago. I had fallen on it and damaged it. After surgery I chose to come back here because they are so great. I went from not being able to use my arm to being able to go back to everything I needed and wanted to do with it. After surgery I never thought I’d never be able to get full range of motion back again but I have! I’ve been to other physical therapy places and have never gotten the care I have here. They work with many parts of the body. They are very helpful and knowledgeable with their healing treatments. I would recommend them to anyone with any problem big or small!
Tiffany K.
My advice to others is whatever exercises they tell you to do at home…DO THEM!

When you slack off of them you will notice that things kind of revert back.
I came to Chesterton Physical therapy through a referral for my bladder to tighten up my core. While working with me they noticed that I have issues with my back. I feel that my bladder muscles have strengthened. They taught me to do exercises to help my back which has helped me a whole lot. My advice is to do the exercises because they help. When you slack off of them you will notice that things kind of revert back.

I needed help. I was in bad shape. I couldn’t walk and was in a lot of pain. I had trouble walking and was in a wheelchair when I first started and now I can walk with a cane! I enjoyed working with all the PTA’s. They were very nice and professional. Do the work, it will pay off.
