I just got back from a trip to Colorado and had the opportunity to hike in some of their beautiful mountains. After two knee replacement surgeries and the help of your rehab I finally have my life back. I think having a great surgeon is very important to the process, but having a great rehab process is equally important.
So I wanted to take this time to thank you for caring so deeply about getting me back to great flexibility and movement. Now I can do the things I always did before, but without the pain. Life is short and my motto is to live life large and with joy.
Thank you for pushing me when I needed to be pushed, laughing with me and encouraging me when I didn’t think I could do it.
I wish you great blessings for your new clinic and the 1,000 of people you will help. I just want to say to each of them....... “Push through because there is great reward at the end.”
God bless you my friend, you have a great gift.
Brad Walker helped me learn to walk again, not once but twice. In November of 2017, after eight previous knee surgeries, I had a total knee replacement. Brad was referred by my orthopedic group and worked with me on my recovery. After 3 months my right leg was better than it had been in forty years. I was working out, walking, wade fishing, and hiking like I hadn’t been able to
do for years. Because of Brads patience and professionalism, I felt great and had a wonderful surgical recovery. I thanked Brad for all his help, not realizing that he would have a second chance to put Humpty Dumpty back together again. A year after my knee replacement surgery, I fell down a flight of stairs. My right femur broke in 5 places. I had a metal rod inserted from my knee to my hip, 5 halos and 2 screws placed in my right leg. I was immobilized from my foot to my hip for almost 2 months. There were times when I wondered if I would be able to bend my leg or walk normally again. Brad’s positive attitude, patience coaching, physical manipulation and stretching helped me, after almost six months, to walk again. I am very fortunate to have had Brad Walker as my Physical Therapist.
After my total knee replacement surgery in August 2019, my surgeon referred me to Brad Walker. I started Physical Therapy with Brad the day after I was released from the South TX Surgical Hospital. I had three sessions/week for six weeks, and it made all the difference in my recovery. Brad's plan for my treatment gradually intensified the exercises, strengthening the muscles surrounding my new knee. While I was in PT for my knee, I also experienced a bout of positional vertigo. Brad performed the Epley maneuver, and I recovered quickly. Brad's manner with his patients is friendly but firm, and he inspires his patients to work hard with him to achieve their goal for a healthy joint replacement. I will ask my physician to refer me to Brad whenever I need Physical Therapy assistance in the future. Brad chose well when naming his clinic "Essential Orthopedic Physical Therapy"...because his treatment after orthopedic surgery is essential.
This is my second time going to physical therapy. A year and a half ago I had a knee replacement and just recently the doctor recommended physical therapy again because of bursitis. Without a doubt I knew where I wanted and needed to go. Brad is honest letting his patients know what they should and should not do. He is encouraging which motivates me. He is dedicated and that inspires me to work harder. So if you are in need of a physical therapist, see the best - Brad!
My sincerest gratitude for your time, patience, and expertise. It is truly a pleasure to be with professionals who really care about their patients. I had knee replacement surgery which is challenging and painful. I was always greeted with a smile when entering the clinic and some days I was not feeling well but the smile and words of encouragement from the front desk staff had me feeling better in minutes. The motivation and care I received from Brad and staff compelled me to progress very quickly and thoroughly. My doctor was always impressed with my progress every time I went to my appointments. Also, cleanliness was certainly a priority at Essential Orthopedic Physical Therapy for the safety of clients and staff, which I can hugely appreciate. Brad, thanks to you and your entire staff for being so helpful, caring, and professional. Your clinic is truly exceptional!
I had an excellent experience with Essential Orthopedic physical therapists. I had two total knee replacements only eight weeks apart. I arrived post surgery unsure of my path to recovery. I found Brad and his staff were knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely cared about my recovery. They took the time to explain each exercise and treatment plan, making sure I felt comfortable and confident throughout the process.
The entire staff was friendly, welcoming, and accommodating with scheduling. Thanks to their expertise and encouragement, I've fully recovered from my two total knee replacements and regained my strength, mobility, and overall quality of life. I highly recommend Brad and the staff at Essential Orthopedic Physical Therapists to anyone in need of physical therapy and appreciate all the support they provided during my recovery journey.
