Kines Physical Therapy

"Brando Lakes at Pines Physical Therapy has been an absolute blessing for my father's recovery. After my father suffered a stroke, i was extremely concerned about whether he would regain meaningful mobility--especially with the frozen shoulder and limited movement in his right arm and hand. Thanks to Brando's expertise, patience, and dedication, the progress has been remarkable. Brando has an incredible depth of knowledge in physical therapy, but what truly sets him apart is his ability to explain complex concepts in a way patients can actually understand. My father always knew what he was working toward and why each exercise mattered, which made a huge difference in his motivation and confidence. He also shows an exceptional level of attention to detail. Brando carefully observed every movement and adjusted treatments to target my father's specific limitations, particularly focusing on improving mobility in his shoulder, hand, and arm. His thoughtful approach ensured that every session was productive and purposeful. Another thing I deeply appreciated was Brando's flexibility and willingness to accommodate my father's needs and schedule. He always made sure my father felt comfortable, supported, and encouraged throughout the process. Because of Brando's care and dedication, my father has regained mobility i wasn't sure he would ever get back. I'm incredibly grateful for the role he's played in my father's recovery. I highly recommend Brando Lakes and Pines Physical Therapy to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and highly skilled physical therapist."

"I have been one of Brando's patients/clients since October 2024. In my young adult life it has been difficult for me growing up with chronic pain and illness, being medically gaslit, being ignored, and having no answers for years. Finding Lakes PT was like finding the Holy Grail. His approach at gentle but progressive therapy has brought me sensation in my hip after not having it for nearly a decade, the confidence to do things like walk long distances and lift heavy things, the growth mindset to find work instead of giving up and filing for disability (which I was very close to!), the ability to identify my barriers, limits, what different kinds of pain or stiffness feel like and how to speak up for myself. Brando has singlehandedly helped me heal in more ways than one, being not only a very knowledgable and professional physical therapist, but a good conversationalist, listener, friend, and a genuine supporter of my success. [For context, I had a tumor removed from my hip muscle when I was 13 years old and to this day, almost 9 years later, Brando is the only person I trust to touch my scar. When I had gotten the surgery, my recovery nurses had all warned me that I would never gain full sensation in my hip ever again, and the scar had since attached to my muscle and caused a number of complications for me as the years went on. Paired with gut issues that caused fibromyalgia, two slipped discs and mild scoliosis in my upper back, I came into Brando's care a HOT MESS!] I do not have memory of a time when I was younger and my body worked, or when I had energy or the force to get through my day. I am almost 22 years old now and it has long since taken an emotional and mental toll on me. Brando has been the medical professional I can learn from, open up to, and support. Seeing Brando go private practice was so fulfilling to me because I know what such a fantastic job he does. Brando has helped people learn how to walk all over again, several times in a row sometimes, and though my treatment isn't over just yet, he has definitely taught me how to walk again in much more than a physical capacity. Come prepared though -- Brando is very no-nonsense! Come ready to grow physically, mentally, and emotionally. Come ready to learn new things about yourself, things you didn't know you were capable of, new limits you didn't know it could be possible to push yourself to, new ways to take care of yourself, and how to be a better advocate for yourself. Come ready to laugh, cry, and thrive at Lakes PT."
