TESTIMONIALS

You had been helping him last fall with posture and gait issues. You were truly a lifesaver five years ago when he suffered from an upper side chest and shoulder pull, resulting from his heart valve replacement surgery. He had become extremely depressed from the intense pain he was experiencing. You provided excellent service and he recommended you to many people. I thank Dr. Jim Mathews, a member of our synagogue, for connecting him with you five years ago when he was suffering so much.

The therapy at Vital Physical Therapy is extremely good and changed my life by helping me realize the importance of exercise. By working with Komal, I was able to able to greatly strengthen my legs and improve my balance. In addition, my breathing during exercises improved. I had a great experience with Komal and I would 100% recommend Vital Physical therapy to anyone who wants to improve their quality of life by exercising to live pain free.

As my husband and I drove away from his last session at Vital Physical Therapy I ask, “In a word, Mike, can you say what made this rehab experience different from other places you have been?” After thinking for a few seconds he answered, “CARE.” Komal cared about me. That is, she cared about me as a person. She never raised her voice or talked down to me, but listened carefully as I answered questions. When I reported physical pain, instead of coaching me to keep on going, we stopped. She addressed the cause of my discomfort. We then worked specifically on that. I felt myself improving with every session.” Chuckling, he continued, “And you know how I like to get people off their game. Well, she was always far and away ahead of me. We never wasted a minute! I trusted her assessment of my health. I learned to respect her judgment of what I needed. She actually made the work we did fun. She believed my health was important. She reminded me that I was in charge of taking care of myself and that with due diligence I would improve. And I have…..in balance, endurance, in strength, and stamina. I just feel better all over. I must keep this up on my own.” 

Seeing my husband make such strides towards improved health was worth the 60 miles round trip for each session. I have noticed, in addition to the things he mentioned, more clarity in his thinking, and better reaction time in his general, ordinary, daily activities. Life is precious. We both thank Komal for her caring, experienced, precise physical therapy that has been beneficial for both of us.    

In April, I was diagnosed with severe, advanced osteoporosis. I started medication but the doctor cautioned me that I was a high risk for fractures and needed to be very careful not to fall. Knowing that I was not in optimum shape, we discussed physical therapy. In May, I began therapy at Vital Physical Therapy with Komal Deokule. She did a thorough and comprehensive assessment, and found that I lost my balance easily and that my muscles were very weak.

For two months, I went twice a week for therapy. Komal prepared a program for me addressing my needs. After just two months, my balance and strength showed significant improvement, and I was no longer at risk of falling. The exercises and moves that I struggled with earlier now came with ease and confidence.

Komal is extremely knowledgeable and up-to-date with her treatment programs. She takes the time to explain what you are doing, demonstrates the moves, and stays with you and coaches you with amazing patience and dedication.

Although Komal has prepared me to pick up where we left off, I did not want to venture out on my own just yet. She offers a gym membership maintenance program where I can continue to use the facility and she is still available to assist and answer questions. She has an excellent assistant, Kristina, who works with me during the gym membership maintenance program to make sure I am doing things the correct way. As I am able to increase weight or repetitions, or ready for new challenges, Komal is always there to modify my routine.

Komal and Kristina are both very attentive, caring, and devoted to their clientele. Its hard work but they make the experience an enjoyable one. I am very grateful for the progress I have made so far, and look forward to getting stronger in the future.

Vital Physical Therapy is unique in that Vital spends the time one on one with the client and gives their 100%. Other therapy places that I have experienced in the past entail passing on the exercises to an assistant which doesn’t have the attention of the physical therapist the entire time.

Having Komal the entire time accelerated my healing time. Since having started working with Komal, my life has changed dramatically. I was not able to drive a vehicle without having a tennis ball wedged behind my shoulder blade due to having so much shoulder and back pain. I have had physical therapy and aqua therapy for an entire year and a half at different physical therapy practices with not much results before seeing Komal at Vital Physical Therapy. I finally have moments without pain because of Komal’s care. I feel that I will be able to go back to work soon and enjoy the physical activities I once enjoyed that made me happy such as running.

Komal also helped me with a knee pain issue. Komal goes above and beyond what a physical therapist does…not only did she always give me an entire full hour of therapy if not more (which is not the case at other facilities), she has even guided me with how to be less stressed, mediation tips etc. She ensured I had a proper at home physical therapy regime to continue to get better. She truly cares and listens to her patients and spends the time in finding out what she can do to heal them. The three biggest benefits of my experience would be diminished pain, the confidence and hope that I will feel completely better in the future, and I can sleep better at night which makes all the difference in someone’s life.

I will definitely recommend Vital Physical Therapy for all therapy needs and would like a Facebook page or something to share and spread the word. As you can see I had more than one physical pain at a time with the shoulder, thoracic spine and knee and Komal tackled it all! I found the whole experience absolutely life changing! Komal is the equivalent of gold to me!

Komal at Vital Therapy was very knowledgeable and professional. I really enjoyed the one-on-training. She was very encouraging and genuinely concerned about my health. I would highly recommend Vital Physical Therapy to my family and friends.

You have shown your dedication to our office in so many ways, including the adequate supply of samples, clinically relevant information, the goodies you drop off from time to time, and above all the willingness to walk the extra mile to cater to our office practice’ needs.

Dr. Prabhakar and his staff wish to thank you for all the support you’ve been giving us all these years. Believe us when we say, do not take you for granted.

In this tough economic time, we rely on friends like you. We ask you for your continued support for our mission. Your support is important to us.

Thank you once again.

My life has changed since I started working with Komal at Vital Physical Therapy. I am a dancer and Komal helped me to not only get rid of my foot problems, but also to avoid further injury. I am not in constant pain anymore. Komal helped me by working patiently with me through the therapy sessions. And I like that she gave me a printout at the end of the sessions so that I could continue at home with a well detailed workout. The three biggest benefits of my experience are that I can now live an active, healthy and relatively pain free life.

Vital Physical therapy has friendly staff and is in a convenient location. I found the experience immensely helpful and I would recommend Vital Physical Therapy to people who need a permanent solution to their ailments. Thanks Komal!
