"We all know of the saying “if it seems to be too good to be true, it probably is”. Normally I believe in that philosophy, but not where Fruition Therapy is concerned. I lived almost 60 years of my life with severe lower back pain. When I was about eight or nine years I was hit by a car while riding my bike. I flew up and over the hood of the car, landing on my lower spine. From that day forward I suffered each and every day of my life with this lower back pain. Back then we didn’t know about physical therapy. I was taken to our M.D. who told my parents I would most likely live in pain for the rest of my life. Over the years I went to see many Doctors and Chiropractors with no relief from this pain other than the temporary relief one gets from pain medication. My current M.D. referred me to Carolyn for another problem that I was having. During my initial evaluation with Carolyn I explained to her my condition that I had been sent to her with and then I went on to tell her about this life long lower back pain. We went from the place of ‘NO ONE WAS EVER ALLOWED TO TOUCH MY LOWER BACK” to being FREE of this horrible lower back pain. Along with the exercises we did in the office, deep tissue massage, and the exercises I was given to do at home I am honestly pain free to this day. I still do a regular routine of these exercises, which is a small price to pay for being pain free. I am now approximately six months post therapy sessions and I still have a difficult time believing this wonderful gift of NO PAIN that Carolyn has given to me. Yes, at my age I still have minor aches and pains, but I no longer have the horrible lower back pain that I lived with until I met Carolyn. Not only does this young lady know exactly what she is doing; she is so very honest. She told me from the beginning, she wasn’t sure if she could help with this pain, but with my permission and my M.D.’s permission she was willing to give it a try. She informed me that she would tell me when she got to the point that she felt she could not help me any longer. Thank goodness, as it turned out by the time Carolyn felt she could do no more for me my lower back pain was gone. All of the staff at Fruition Therapy is so caring and giving. In today’s world of no one taking time with anyone, or wanting to help anyone, this is one place you can go and feel secure in the fact that they are all there to help you as much as they possibly can. From the initial phone call for my first appointment to my last therapy session I was treated with kindness, caring and most of all respect. If at any time my pain returns, I will not hesitate for a moment to return to the caring people at FRUITION THERAPY. ~Judy W. Lake Geneva, WI"

“I came to physical therapy because of lower back pain, feet and leg pain. The pain was caused by poor posture and that I have what is called a flat back because I have lost the curve to my spine. I also have 2 discs that are bulging and one disc that has a small herniation. It was very painful and at the time I could not sit very long or stand for a long time. The PT that I spoke with on the phone was very helpful. She told me more about my back problem on the phone than the doctor did when I saw him. I went to PT 3 times a week for an hour. I learned different exercises and she did massage work on me. Sometimes after PT I would feel sore but once that went away I felt great. The massage work really helped with the tightness in my legs and feet because the muscles would go into spasm. She also gave me exercises to do at home, which really help a lot. I did not know how much pain I was really in until now because I feel back to normal. It is good to be pain free. PT really helped me a lot and they are caring people who enjoy their job and helping the people they have.” ~Sandy A, Elkhorn, WI

"I woke up one morning with pain and numbness in my right arm and neck and back. (I) Went in and saw a surgeon and he said that I needed surgery on my neck, that I had two bulging discs. If I went with that, I would be laid up for about two years with a 1 in 750 chance of being paralyzed. Well, I have a new baby and I could not take the chance. So I went to a different doctor who said I’m sending you to therapy and then for shots. So they gave me Carolyn’s number and I started to see her right away. I went three times a week for two weeks. After the two weeks I couldn’t believe the progress I had made. So I asked her to ask the doctor for two more weeks because I didn’t want shots either. So he told Carolyn yes. And after those two weeks I was pain free. It was great. And I strongly recommend before any surgery or shots you or anyone should go through physical therapy. It’s not only good to get those muscles stretched out but you also learn how each muscle works and how to keep them working right." ~Shelia S, Elkhorn, WI

"Since coming back to therapy, I’ve noticed I have immense improvement. I didn’t realize how limited my mobility was until I started to get it back from the PT sessions & exercise! My neck is no longer stiff, my headaches are gone and I’m not as fatigued at the end of the day. My back has been strengthened through the exercises and I can even jog a little with no pain. I hate to be discharged because the massage feels so good." ~Becky B, Whitewater, Wisconsin

"When I was injured at work, I was already dealing with low back pain, failed back surgery and could not function without pain medications. My chiropractor referred me to Fruition Physical Therapy and with both my chiropractor and PT working as a team I no longer depend on narcotic pain medications to "get by". I am no longer having the original back pain in my lower back which I had before my work injury. And I feel like I have been given a second chance. I had been to pain clinics and other physical therapists- which did not help me at all. My neurologist had told me for the last few years that I would need more back surgery and would always have the nerve pain in my legs. I am no loner on medications, I am able to work, play with my grandkids and feel like a normal person again - all with little to no pain. If it was not for the care I received at Fruition Therapy, I would be probably planning another surgery to fuse my lower back. If I did not believe in miracles before, I sure do now. In 6 months my whole life has changed and I feel like I can do anything. Thank you so much for giving me my life back." ~ Denise H, Williams Bay, WI

"I have had foot and knee pain for a number of years and just lived with it. I discovered I was flat footed and received orthotics. My knee pain, however continued to worsen. It was discovered that my knee cap was tilted and physical therapy was recommended. I am amazed at what Carolyn immediately knew to do to alleviate my problems. I love the exercises she prescribed for me. Doing the exerfises and receiving the e-stim therapy during my visits really helped with the pain. Thank you so much for everything you have done for me." ~Brenda P, Elkhorn, WI

"Carolyn is so knowledgeable and gives such caring physical therapy. I am seven weeks after a total knee replacement and am being released. I ask a hundred questions and am always given answers I understand and she explains why we do this and the benefits of that. So I know every thing we do does benefit my recovery. I feel encouraged to do my best. Thank you." ~Yvonne Q, Elkhorn, WI

"I was receiving chiropractic care for 5 months for my lower back and was not reaching 100%. I started my PT to strengthen my lower back and in two weeks of physical therapy treatment at Fruition Physical Therapy my back felt at least 90%. PT is the way to go to solve the problem!" ~Cyndi B, Lake Geneva, WI

"When I first came for physical therapy I was having trouble with my neck and left shoulder, as well as tingling in my left arm. I had been going to chiropractic for approximately 8 months and was not getting relief. Within one month of physical therapy my soreness and stiffness began to subside, I am happy to say that I now am able to do physical activities such as golf, bowling and racquetball without pain. Thank you Carolyn." ~Gregory P, Twin Lakes, WI

"After my first visit to Fruiton Therapy, I felt very good. I have suffered from migraines for 15 years, and have seen chiropractors for about 10 of those years. I felt better after leaving Fruition Therapy then I have after leaving any of the other doctors I have seen. Migraine was gone and my neck felt stronger and more flexible then I can ever remember feeling before." ~Lynn K, Elkhorn, WI
