Physical Therapy at St. Bernard Hospital

"I have a lateral meniscus tear (I believe). I was scheduled for three months of physical therapy with Ruth, and I have all positive feedback. When I arrived, I could barely put weight on my leg. It was painful to walk, and running without uncomfortable pain and a burning sensation was not an option. Ruth was very warm and inviting during therapy sessions. She was always patient with me yet firm when needed. I'm a hard worker, but I complain and procrastinate about being active. Ruth noticed this and not only encouraged me but gave tough love if I was lollygagging. After a month, I was already walking normally, and near the end of our sessions, I could run comfortably again. It's been about six months, and I still have the same amount of mobility in my knee following therapy (I just have to remember to do the exercises she taught me more). You can tell Ruth genuinely cares about the outcome of her patients. I'm grateful to have had her as my physical therapist, and I enthusiastically give my recommendation!"

"On my first physical therapy appointment, I was horrified. Ruth was my therapist, and when I tell you, she is the most caring, gentle, yet firm person I've ever met. Her knowledge of my injury was great. She didn't push me too hard, but she made me believe I can do anything I set my mind to do. Ruth cares about her patient getting back to normal activities at 100%. As scared as I was for my first visit, I look forward to my next appointment. Thank you Dr. Terrell, for referring me to such a awesome physical therapist."

"I was so nervous and worried . I'm always in pain and Ernesto has been so helpful and with explaining things to me. He has been alot of help n I will b continuing to do the exercises he has showed me a long time."
