Arkansas Valley Physical Therapy and Pain Center

Leonora & Melinda are exceptional therapists. They schedule you around your needs and work hard to get you where you need to be. I finish my therapy (post total knee replacement) next week but know they are there in case I need them. Very highly recommended. I wouldn't use anyone else for PT. Thank you both for such AWESOME care.

Leanora and Melinda are the best PT people in the Valley. I went to Leanora originally to recover from a bicep tendon repair a few years ago. She worked hard to get me fully recovered from that injury and the scar tissue that was, building up - she made the scar tissue disappear and the Ortho doc was happily amazed at my progress. Because of her, I am completely recovered from that. So when I had a knee replacement in may 2020 I knew I would go back to her. She is a very hard worker and compassionate and caring. She really wanted me to get to a point where the pain was non-existent and my range of motion was optimal. She and Melinda both are excellent physical therapists. They really care about their patients and want their patients to recover. They gave me home exercises to complement the physical therapy sessions. They have a personal touch that is unsurpassed in this valley. They were my first choice for rehab and will continue to be my first choice. I would highly recommend Arkansas Valley Physical Therapy for any PT you may require. Best in the Valley!

I had knee correction surgery in October, and Leonora and Emily gently but firmly guided me through the recovery process over the following several months. They are both quite knowledgeable, empathetic and encouraging, and my knee has progressed extremely well. The atmosphere in the clinic is warm and friendly, which helps so much while you're struggling to recover and get back to your life. I wouldn't go anywhere else in Chaffee County for physical therapy and highly recommend Arkansas Valley Physical Therapy to others!

I rarely write reviews, but I am writing this one because I believe in the approach, atmosphere, and overall treatment I received at Ark Valley PT. What I love most about Ark Valley PT is the people. Leanora and Melinda are both great to work with! They made the sometimes-difficult process of physical rehabilitation a light, friendly, helpful, and effective experience. I spent most of my time with Leanora for recovery from a hip labral tear, meniscus tear, and MCL tear. Her extensive knowledge and experience was evident during my treatment. She was very thoughtful in her methodology towards my treatment including tweaking the protocol when needed. Leanora not only took great care of me while in her clinic, but also checked in on me to see how I was doing and to make sure that I had the correct exercises to work with on my own. I am incredibly pleased with the treatment and care I received - and I am doing great now! My recovery is proof of the great care and attention I received at Ark Valley PT.

After knee replacement surgery, Leonora, Melinda, and Emily worked hard to get me back to where I wanted to be. They were always able to schedule time for me in spite of my variable schedule. They not only closely monitored my progress but also adjusted treatment to meet my specific goals and needs. Every one of them was friendly and extremely competent making sessions a pleasant experience. If I ever need physical therapy again I will not hesitate to contact Arkansas Valley PT.

I had a Total Knee Replacement surgery and Leanora was amazing ! I walked with a limp for years before the surgery and had to really work on walking normal after the surgery - Leanora and her team really worked hard to get me there and with their kind encouragement I made it! She really cares about you as a person, you are not just another client to her. Here you can really get personalized care. Mckenna, the dog, really cheers you up when some of those days that are not so easy!

I torn my ACL (and other accompanying injuries in my knee) in February, my first bigger injury and surgery, and I was pretty shaken up. Leanora and Melinda were there for me, not only helping me physically recover 2 days after surgery , but helping me go through it all with such a positive, but stern approach. After few sessions COVID 19 shut everything down and I could not see my surgeon nor PT in person for over couple of months. Even despite exercising 3 times daily I fell really behind. Once Leanora started seeing me in person and working manually with my knee, mobilizing patella and going through the scar tissue build up, we caught right up to where I was supposed to be, really impressing my surgeon from Steadman Clinic in Vail. This experience really taught me that it is super important to do professional physical therapy with experienced PTs, that master the manual therapy and I can attest that Leanora and Melinda really do. Thank you both so much for fixing me and I cannot wait to ski backcountry again pretty soon and that is only thanks to them.

This place is awesome! The therapists are very friendly and helpful. I would reccomend this place to anyone who wants to get better from an injury. My main physical therapist Leanora is great at what she does. She is very professional and you can tell she enjoys this line of work. I go there currently for an elbow injury, and she does everything she can, to make sure that my arm improves and gets better. The office and equipment is clean and its definitely a cozy comfortable spot for any kind of physical therapy.
