Last November Carmen Robaina, an avid runner and weight lifter, began suffering from a nagging pain in her shoulder. The nagging pain kept getting worse until one sleepless night in August she decided she had to be seen. Doctors discovered that Carmen had several tears in her rotator cuff and surgery was needed in order to put her on the path to recovery. Following surgery, Carmen's doctor prescribed physical therapy as a means to reduce the pain and restore shoulder function so that Carmen could get back to work and the active lifestyle she enjoyed so much. She had physical therapy from a different location in the past and was skeptical and a bit nervous that it wouldn't work for her, but that all changed when she came to Therapy Specialists.
"I immediately knew it would be different because I noticed how professional and welcoming Robin and Aubrey were. I knew they had my best interests at heart," Carmen said.Robin Criner and Aubrey Northern, Physical Therapists at Therapy Specialists, developed a curriculum for Carmen that was challenging, thorough and specific to her needs and helped keep her accountable to ensure she made the most progress in the shortest
