I have only the highest compliments, sincere appreciation and affection for the staff and management of Precision Rehabilitation in Long Beach. They are top level, highly skilled professionals. I was paralyzed from the waist down following lower back surgery in August 2024. There was not one doctor who thought I would ever walk again. After four long months in the hospital and a nursing home, I received a month of home health physical therapy (PT) and occupational therapy (OT) followed by traditional out-patient orthopedic physical therapy. My orthopedic PT was excellent, yet I was not the getting the desired results due to my severe nerve damage. He generously referred me to a specialist in neurological physical therapy, his neurological PT professor in the doctoral PT program at USC, Manjiri Dahdul, DPT, the co-owner of Precise Rehabilitation. I had no idea the specialty of neurological PT existed, and I am so grateful it does! Working with Manjiri, in the first 5 weeks at Precision Rehabilitation, my walking speed, although slow, increased 25%. My balance increased, my gait, strength, and every other measure improved. Since then, all measures have continued to improve steadily over the last nine months. Now, I do not have the smooth gait of someone who has never been paralyzed, but I can walk miles and I am thrilled with my progress! Precision has specially trained neurological physical therapists in processes that are superb. I am proof they can work if you put in the effort. In addition, they have many expensive specialized types of equipment that traditional orthopedic PT facilities do not have. If you have any type of neurological damage, I highly recommend them! Warmest regards, Karen
