Southeastern Physical Therapy

JUST DO IT!!!

TL; DR: Southeastern Physical Therapy is a great place for your physical therapy needs. I needed a sports medicine type therapist and found a great one in Dr. Heather Yatsko (Ferry). From the staff at the front desk to the PT staff you work with, they are all fantastic. They offered me a more flexible payment schedule if I needed, and more importantly, to me, they took their time to work with you (me about 2 hours) unlike other in-and-out (about an hour) PT offices.

As stated above, I think SPT is great, but here’s a little backstory leading up to arriving here for my recovery. I injured my shoulder last year (2019) in September, and went to a different physical therapy business that didn't suit my needs. I went for about 1.5 - 2 months before getting an MRI. The results showed micro tearing in my shoulder and led me to try a STEM cell injection instead of surgery as part of my recovery. From there I took it easy as instructed and waited about 6 months before seeking another therapist. Being fairly active I searched for a therapist that had sports medicine therapy skills, and Dr. Heather Yatsko (Ferry) fit the bill.

This is where the review really starts. I went to my first appointment for an evaluation of my shoulder and immediately knew this would be different than at my previous therapist. I met with Heather, who I think is the lead therapist and as well as director, and she asked about what happened, when it happened, took measurements, and even had me go through various movements (planks and such) to gauge my starting level. By the end of the evaluation she asked what my goals were and made note of them. I was impressed and felt like this would be a better experience. From that moment onward Heather developed a plan for me that incorporated not only more traditional movements and exercises that a majority of shoulder recovery patients would use, but she also incorporated more specialized movements tailored to my situation and goals. That was the coolest part of my recovery! Heather customized my recovery program. It's such a breath of fresh air to see a PT be passionate about her patients and their recovery. There were occasions where she made up some movements on the fly and told me about her searchings the night prior and wanting me to try them. I was always up for the challenge of trying new moves to better my chances of recovery. The best way to get this treatment though is to have open and honest communication with her and the other assistants and therapist. This part is pretty easy because everyone there is easy to talk to, get to know, and joke around with. They're great people.

My favorite part of my recovery at SPT was that they didn't rush you in and out. When you're there, they let you take your time to get through your exercises. In my case I'd be there for about 2 hours. That's longer than any other business I've been to prior. They truly care about you getting better and in order to do so they let you work through your program.

Overall, Heather is FANTASTIC to work with because she cares! You can see that in her work ethic while you're there. She wears many hats while at SPT, but she makes the effort for everyone. She's a valuable asset to SPT and especially to any patient who has the chance to work with her. Because of her attitude and work ethic I saw it trickle down to the other employees and ended up having a great experience with everyone there.

If you've made it through this long winded review then you're taking your search seriously and wanting quality care. I promise you that you will get it here at SPT with Heather and her co-workers.

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! At a time when I was feeling most vulnerable the entire staff was dedicated to not only my physical progress and healing but my mental and emotional!! The environment is so positive and makes you want to come back! Heather, Steven, Jake, & Chris are all equally amazing! When your physical therapist are excited to be at their job, it makes your path to recovery easier, more pleasant, and faster! After completing my workman’s comp with SPT, I have decided to continue with them and do injury prevent for my dancing as well! They’re just that GREAT!!
