TESTIMONIALS...

A Word from Beth:
I have been a PT for many years in many different situations – some companies that provided excellent care and really cared for their patients and some that did not. Now in my own business I strive to exceed patient’s expectations with exceptional physical therapy care. Each patient receives individual care in a sensitive, confidential and professional environment. It is often helpful to hear other’s experience. Here are some stories from my previous patients. I would love to hear your story too if you can take the time to submit your story using the form below.

"I am a physical therapist living with osteoarthritis and degenerative disc disease. Over many years I have been able to manage my episodes of joint pain and muscle dysfunction and have not hesitated to seek help from other therapists when needed. I was surprised to be referred to Beth Shelly by my doctor who was evaluating me for abdominal pain that seemed to have no pathological basis. This was not the usual pain of arthritis I was used to. He said there was nothing more he could do, but he would refer me on. He said "I've referred patients to her before--she has good results." I was glad to have an option of help.

Beth Shelly's office is easy to find. The office is quiet, welcoming and relaxing! Beth is very pleasant, personable and knowledgeable. She was able to determine the cause of my pain. Not only was she able to resolve my problem, she gave me much education to ensure that I could prevent and/or treat future problems. I was most impressed and pleased that she was very available if I had a question or a problem. I consider it unusual when a caregiver calls me to see how I am doing--Beth did that. I found her to be very reassuring and a great encourager. My chronic pain can be a source of discouragement for me; Beth was able to put all things in perspective and empower me to be positive and focus on what I can do. If and when I need help, I will call her again!"

"I began having unbearable bladder problems such as burning, frequency, urgency, pain and swelling that left me desperate. These symptoms made everyday life very challenging and I became very depressed. It was thought I might have Interstitial Cystitis and there wasn't much to do for this. After many doctor visits and many 'dismissals' as if I was making up my symptoms, my urologist suggested I see a Pelvic Floor Specialist. I was a bit skeptical at first, but that changed after my first visit with Beth. She was the first person that seemed to understand what I was going through. Within a week I was no longer going to the bathroom sometimes 6 times per hour during the day. My symptoms have for the most part disappeared. I will sometimes still have minor frequency and urgencies but thanks to Beth, I have learned to control this on my own. With Beth’s knowledge, treatment and gentle spirit, I can say I am 90% healed and forever grateful. Thank you!"

Sometimes the conditions I treat are very embarrassing and difficult to share with others. However, I hope you WILL share your learning with others – it is amazing how many are struggling just like you. Spread the word – it is not necessary to suffer in silence – tell your moms, dads, aunts, uncles, daughters, sisters, friends, colleges. Many do not know there are successful options.
