Tele-rehabilitation

In - Home Physical Therapy

Some persons may have difficulty attending an outpatient physical therapy clinic due to mobility impairments related to deconditioning, disease, pain or recent surgical procedures. In these instances physical therapy services provided in the home may be the best option.

Testimonials

“A professional! Extremely knowledgeable and very thorough! A double arthroscopy revealed a number of issues with my knees; PT was required. I opted to work with Heather thinking it would be a breeze because we were good friends. I couldn't be any farther from the truth. I was treated no different from any other. In fact, I think she was harder on me. The sessions were tough at times, but well worth it! 20 years later and I'm still grateful. Thank you Heather!!"

"Kudos to Heather Hanlan, Angel of Mercy, my devoted Physical Therapist. Your healing gift, patience and total care package which contained and offered the total capacity and possibility for me to walk again."

"At the age of 35, I sustained a terrible, life changing injury to my back, soft tissue damage. Surgery is not the fix for this type of injury, instead life style changes and body mechanics changes are the fix. For many years in the beginning, I refused to accept that lot in life, and found myself constantly 'up on brakes' not able to move my legs for days at a time.... and Heather, with her patient and skilled determination, used her myriad of treatment techniques to first get me back on my feet; and methodically help me to change my thinking, teaching me how to change my body mechanics, techniques to stave off those debilitating attacks of pain when I overdo things. Heather's skill is unquestionable, not only has she worked miracles in my life but in the lives of my family using her knowledge and most of all her love for what she does."

"Over the past 20 years I have had reason to use the expertise of a physiotherapist for various reasons. Hands down, the most knowledgeable, professional, caring therapist that I have had the pleasure to have minister care to me was Heather. From day one she demonstrated her strong command of the craft and her commitment to my long term success. I am very grateful for what she did very early on to give me mobility back in my arms. Over the years, even though she was not able to provide direct care to me when needed, she always remains available for advice and guidance. I absolutely recommend this phenomenal lady for any physiotherapy needs you may have."

Dear Heather, I would just like to thank you for your help and professionalism, combined with your exceptionally warm personality and caring manner in getting me back on my feet. I found your service excellent and would have no hesitation in recommending you to friends and family, should the need arise.

It is with sincere thanks and appreciation that I write to say how pleased I am to have been helped by you in my recovery over the past five plus months. When I began my therapy with you in January 2020, I was in a wheelchair on my way to recovery from a brain tumor removal surgery that left me unable to walk. During my therapy I found you to be pleasant and encouraging but firm in getting me to achieve the set goal of each activity. Your follow up on activities in the program was very thorough. I also value your tips for keeping hydrated in the heated temperature at home. Thanks to you I am now able to walk with little assistance using a walking cane. I can now continue with my exercise routine and with God's help I expect to continue to improve over the next few months.

Again I say many thanks for your great show of dedication to ensure the great strides I have made.
