Ona tells her story following ACL reconstruction and how she did not need to take any pain medication following her surgery! She had surgery on a Friday and went back to work the next Monday.

I went through a total shoulder reversal on my left shoulder this year… and I’m left handed! I was hopeful but not expecting what I found at OPTC. Everyone was positive, welcoming and very helpful! The level of professionalism and knowledge was mixed with the feeling of being part of a family. I made excellent progress, thanks to the entire team I was lucky enough to work. Try them, you’ll like them!

I started coming to Orthopedic Physical Therapy Center in preparation for a huge back surgery which had a 9 month recovery attached to it. I know that I was in no way ready or able to tackle that 9 month recovery. It's been hard work, but so worth it. In two months I’ve gone from hunched over- severely limited person. To someone who is much stronger and more confident. I’m able to physically do many things that I couldn’t do previously… and my surgery has been put off indefinitely. It’s important to know, going into therapy, that your results will be directly tied to the amount of effort you put in. In my case, I’ve worked hard and achieved something that I hadn’t even considered a possibility.

Sam came in for a hamstring injury and worked with Lee and Erica to rehab back to full competition level. He ended up getting 1st place in triple and long jump to be the State Champ with a record breaking meet distance!

I have been a client of OPTC for approximately two and a half years. I’ve worked with therapist Eric, MiKayla, and Taylor. Taylor has been my primary PT, I’ve only see the others in her absence. They are all exceptional. Taylor is great, kind, stern and competent. I came in for services after a total knee replacement surgery, feeling as I would never walk again without the use of crutches or a walker. Taylor worked with me and I can walk without the use of those devices. I would recommend OPTC to anyone and everyone. The front office staff are very polite and accommodating to your needs. This company is one of the best in Aberdeen. If you are in need of any type of Physical Therapy give OPTC a call.

When I began my therapy 3 months ago I had little hope that I would be able to avoid surgery. Today I have graduated with full range of motion in my shoulder and no pain. I will be forever grateful for the great care and excellent staff who led me to a full recovery.
A. Cook
To the wonderful & caring staff, Particularly Erica and Eric, THANK YOU for giving me my arm back! When I first injured it, all I could focus on was the pain and what I couldn’t do. Right at the beginning you gave me hope and encouragement and gradually things have continued to improve. The pictures of the experiences have been such a big help so I didn’t forget any. I know I will need to do them for the rest of my life, but it’s a small price to pay for having mostly complete use of my arm- and no surgery. So thank you very much! You have a great organization.

Lee, Eric and girls, I want to thank you for the caring, cheerful and professional treatment I received over the past 5 months. I was in pain 24/7, not much sleep for 3 ½ months when I came in. I was in desperate need of relief. Lee, when you said you could help me, I was hopeful for the first time in 3 months. You and Eric were always kind, listened and took the time to explain the how and why the exercises would help. I appreciated that because I learned a lot from you two. I also appreciated the respect you gave my questions. Thank you for your perseverance and not giving up on my issues along the way so we could get where I am today. I may not be 100%, but I am still 200% better than the first day I walked in your office. You have all been a blessing in my life and I pray that God will shower all of you with blessings in your lives!
Deb Jensen
I’m not sure where to begin as every aspect of my care was incredible! From the scheduler, to the greeting staff, they have what It takes to excel at their jobs. Paige was awesome @ relaxing my tense muscles through massage and Lee Goetz has a very gentle and calming way about him! I started off on 3 different medications for my migraines and now take none thanks to the wonderful staff at Orthopedic Physical Therapy Center. Thanks again! They even did a follow up call a few months after my treatment was completed to see how I was doing. They’re great!
Amanda Lynch
I came to OPTC to get relief of my knee pain and stiffness. My knee was so weak that I had to climb stairs one step at a time. Following seven weeks of physical therapy my knee pain was gone and I can sleep without taking pain meds. Now I can climb stairs normally and I gained 20° of bend. I tried the new therapy called blood flow restriction training and I am very happy with the results!
Annie Aman
I've had noticeable improvement since I started therapy at Orthopedic Physical Therapy Center. The staff here is very friendly and helpful.
Troy W.
Without therapy I would not have gained the mobility that is needed. It was like family. They were concerned about how I was doing, listened to me, and were very gentle. My success is due to them and I am grateful and glad I chose their center.
Maureen H.
I highly recommend the physical therapists at Orthopedic Physical Therapy Center. I broke three bones in my ankle and was fortunate to have such friendly, knowledgeable, and expert therapists to help me recover. It is great getting back to normal life again.
Kris Boekelheide
Initially, I came in for pain in my shoulder that had been persistent for awhile and intermittent for about a year back in 2012. The staff at Orthopedic Physical Therapy Center, LTD were quick to assess and effectively treat the problem. I quickly regained function and was pain free. I was then involved in a home accident and tore my rotator cuff. Following surgery, I again sought out the services and staff at Orthopedic Physical Therapy Center, LTD. Over the three months of post surgical therapy, the staff worked hard to make a very difficult recovery more tolerable. Their professionalism, compassion, as well as humor, made the entire process a much more pleasurable experience. I can truthfully say that I will miss them all very much when my therapy is completed! The entire practice works well together and obviously takes great pride in their work. Everyone is very friendly and takes their time with patients while making sure that appointments flow smoothly. An overall wonderful experience.
Maria Meyer
I have been to Orthopedic Physical Therapy Center on several occasions. They have helped me return to a normal life style. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. I would recommend the center to everyone.
M. Hauck
After the physical therapist worked on my back, I realized that my back hasn't felt this good for many years!
Don Palmer
I learned to cope with constant neck pain and shoulder pain through my youth, adolescence and adult life. Seeking treatment for relief in the 80's I found a maintenance program. The last few years the pain intensified. A referral of physical therapy in 2009 consisting of three months of physical therapy plus doing the daily recommended exercise program. The results have been amazing to me. I am enjoying the freedom from neck and shoulder pain. I would strongly recommend physical therapy for pain intervention.
C.R.
I only have one regret I wish I had gone sooner. Orthopedic Physical Therapy Center has given me the care and knowledge so I can now do all the correct stretching exercises to relieve my pain and stiffness from my arthritis and feel good again.
Diana Hauck
I started physical therapy with Lee Goetz in 1995 treating a spinal sprain, from a rear end car accident. I have scoliosis in my lower back and I work in manufacturing which involves repetitive motion, both require me to get treatments from time to time. I know I can count on Lee and his fellow assistants to take care of all my physical therapy needs.
Loretta R. McLaughlin
Orthopedic Physical Therapy Staff did a great job getting me back in shape and somewhat "normal." All of the professionalism and care really helped to get my new knees working properly.
Ken Dean
OPTC staff showed me gentle loving care as I recovered from my injury and knee problem! They were a great blessing to me! "We give thanks to God for you, making mention of you in our prayers; Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patient of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ." 1 Thess 1:2-3 I tell everyone that exercise is the key and it really works, but most of all I appreciate your sweet beside manner!
Glenna Remington
Just had to send a note thanking the staff for all of the help with all of my ailments. You were GREAT to work with.
Sharon Horning
Before I started PT at OPTC I was taking 600mg of Ibuprofen twice a day and wearing my back brace every day. Now I only wear it only the 2 days I work and have not taken any ibuprofen for 3 to 4 weeks. I do my exercises and I have my life back again thanks to them.
Virginia Block
The staff at OPTC has been nothing short of amazing. My son Gabe literally limped into their facility and after a handful of appointments was able to compete the second half of the x-country season! Everyone in the office is courteous and helpful. They truly care for their patients.
