| - Before I even start, I want to make note that this is the very first physical therapy session I have ever experienced, so I honestly don't have any other facility to compare Tim Soder's to. If I did, I might give it 2 stars instead of 1.
I was recently diagnosed with 'ischial bursitis' and was told by my orthopedic specialist that I would need a couple weeks of physical therapy, going 2-3 times a week. I guess my orthopedic office has a type a partnership with Tim Soder's since they had a representative at the office at the time to schedule an appointment.
At my first visit, they spent about 1.5 hrs with me. The first 30-45 min was to diagnose the areas that needed to be worked on and I guess set-up a plan for me to follow. The rest of the time was spent in the gym area doing light stretches and exercises. When I was with the physical therapy specialist (?) it was okay, the disappointment started at the 'gym time'. After the diagnosis was done, I was handed off to an athletic trainer. He had me do some warm-ups and some stretches and walked off to help others. There were at least 10 other people in the gym room. Like I said, this is my first time but I honestly thought it was going to be more one-on-one type of an appointment and definitely more attentive. After I was done with each exercise, I'd have to walk across the room to ask him what's next. Seriously, after EVERY EXERCISE. Half way through, he handed me off to another athletic trainer. Same service. At one point of the night I had to wait for him to finish his conversation with his friends for him to give me my next exercise/stretch. As I was leaving, the receptionist asked me, "So you're only doing gym time for next session right?" Um, isn't that something she should be telling me and not asking me? I just told her no one mentioned anything to me and she looked back at her notes and was like, "oh yes, looks like you are.." I was definitely not very happy with the first appointment.
I decided to not judge too hard, because I really was in no position to have that many expectations. I thought I'd give it another try to see if maybe the 2nd session would be better. Nope. Same thing. Except this time, there was no 'treatment time'. No one was curious on how I felt after the first session? If I'm sore? If I'm hurting? I had to ask them for different exercises and they were able to give me at least some idea of how to realign my pelvic bone.
If they had showed me their plan over the next few weeks on what they wanted to work on, like exercises and expected progress, that might have motivated me to return. But with the service I was getting, I felt like I was just throwing $60 down the drain for each 40min session.
