Success Story!

On March 18th, 2020 I suffered a plateau tibial fracture of the right knee. Pinnacle Physical Therapy was highly recommended to me by a family friend and Dr. Stowell. I started with Pinnacle on May 4th arriving in a wheelchair as I was not allowed to put any weight on my knee, my goal was to get back to normal the natural way and avoid surgery. I WALKED out of physical therapy on August 25th-my last session. I will be forever grateful to the caring, competent, patient staff at Pinnacle-You are like family!
