What patients have to say
“I actually feared the rehab part more than my surgery but once I
got here I grew to look forward to my sessions. They motivated me and
made the process easy to succeed.”
“I have had other knee surgeries and rehabbed elsewhere. The facilities
and therapists at EJ are heads and shoulders above everyone else I have
used.”
“Our family has used EJ for physical therapy and occupational therapy.
In every instance they were professional and explained everything so well
that it made the rehab go by more easily.”
“Looking back now at how far I’ve come in my rehab, I admit
I would have never believed I would be this far along and walking this
well so soon.”
“As an athlete, my goals were to not only get back on the field but
to be as fast and explosive as I was before then injury. EJ Rehab helped
me accomplish all those goals.”
