I was in a boating accident and had excruciating pain afterwards. I tried a chiropractor, a massage therapist and I even tried a Physical therapy department elsewhere before I came to Florida Spine Institute. None of that worked and in fact, the exercises they taught me at the other P.T. place made me get sick every time I tried them.
Then I met Dr. Figueroa and Kathleen from the P.T. staff. They worked together like a well oiled machine to figure out what was wrong with me and what they could do to help me. They were extremely patient and they did so many things for me. They re-trained my muscles to work properly. They taught me the correct way to breathe, walk, sit and exercise.
But most of all they taught me to accept the fact that I was injured, embrace the fact that I could re-train myself and to appreciate all the more what I can do now. I am feeling so much better, I am almost the old me. I would not be where I am today without Dr. Figueroa and Kathleen. Until I met them, I couldn't get the right care and nobody could figure what was going on with my body. Their teamwork put it all together for me. I would have wound up depressed without them. I will always be grateful to them for everything.
