Welcome To Rising Sun Physical Therapy

Our Success Stories

I first came to Rising Sun Physical Therapy due to chronic back pain. Unfortunately for me, around the time I began my therapy, I also was involved in a bicycle accident where I seriously injured my knee, so I had two injuries that needed attention. Regardless of that, I had an amazing experience, and my therapist Simone was very kind and knowledgeable, and helped me to improve my pain points in my body. Not only was the therapy sessions very impactful for my physical condition, but Simone’s expertise and understanding of how human bodies function were very helpful to me as she explained how even different areas in the body affect the other. I would highly recommend Rising Sun PT for any chronic injuries, or impact injuries for recovery!

Our Success Stories

After a horrific ski accident in March where I broke my femur I decided it was best to start physical therapy early in the recovery process(about 3 weeks in) . I’m glad I chose Rising Sun Physical Therapy because the whole crew is very responsive, even during the pandemic. Initially, I couldn’t walk without crutches and was in quite a bit of pain. Bettina recommended the laser treatment for pain. I was rather skeptical, but gave it a try. I’m sure glad I did because it immediately helped reduce the pain, I slept through the night for the first time in weeks. The exercises gradually got more complex and improved my strength and range of motion. Four months after the surgery I’ve recovered enough to walk, hike, and do the things I generally love to do. Thank you Rising Sun for the positive attitude and guidance in recovery.

Our Success Stories

In the summer of 2021, I got referred to Rising Sun Therapy to get professional help for the back and neck pain that had gradually developed over the last years and became an annoyance for my daily life. Simone was super helpful and over the course of a couple of weeks, she improved my situation through a combination of relaxing massages, great advice on posture as well as teaching me stretch routines.

It has now been a couple of weeks since I had my last session and even though the pain and tightness sometimes flares back up, I am always able to help myself with the things that Simone taught me. My overall level of comfort has greatly improved and it’s all thanks to her. You’re the best, Simone!

Our Success Stories

When I fell last fall and hurt my shoulder, I was in a lot of pain. I could not even cut vegetables to make my dinner.  After a month of self care,  it had not improved much, so I asked for a PT referral from my doctor, knowing Rising Sun would help me, again. 

My therapist, Bettina’s, experienced and intuitive manual therapy, (and whatever tricks she had up her sleeve), released every tension and eased the nerves, as well as the muscles and tendons, into their happy places.  Her positive approach made me want to show her improvements each week through exercising…
