moonhill Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 Needing recommendations for a good physical therapist that will come to our home. Several friends have told me who they would Not recommend, but so far I don't have a clue about who to call. Recommendations appreciated.

WideSky Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 You could contact Dr. Justina Jimenez - she is a doctor and a physiotherapist; she has several physiotherapists on staff so perhaps you could make arrangements to have one of them visit. 376-766-5563; I believe they are open 9-3 daily. This lady comes to you home too but she is more massage related Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thevalerieleigh Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 Have had several over the past 3-5 years. As a dancer, it's extremely important to prevent injuries and then treat those ASAP. I've had the pleasure of meeting several wonderful local PT's. Jorge Ulloa is my first choice. His office is across from Mom's Deli in Riberas. VERY professional and after my hip replacement at the age of 55 (51 years of dancing on it), he and Angel came each day Monday-Friday and did intensive PT with me for an hour to an hour and 1/2. After 2 weeks, they had Christmas holiday and I continued my exercises while they were away for 2 weeks. Once they returned, my 30 days of "no driving" had expired so I drove to their office and after one visit, they sent me home. I was scuba diving in Nicaragua a few weeks later. Can't recommend them strongly enough. Also, Caesar at URDI in the Plaza on the Libramiento near Lake Tako and the car wash is also excellent. I did about 9 months of intensive PT at his place to try and avoid the eventual hip replacement. He also does home visits. Fortunately, we have wonderful P.T.'s locally who actually care about you and your condition and will visit you in your home. Wishing you great luck and success with your recovery!

cedros Posted September 5, 2020 Report Share Posted September 5, 2020 I am trying to assist a neighbour who is wheel chair bound due to a stroke. His arms are strong. Is a physiotherapist likely to help his legs? In home treatment would be best as it is difficult to get him in and out of a vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandol Posted September 5, 2020 Report Share Posted September 5, 2020 I know of people who Jorge has been able to help walk again following strokes. He will do house calls if necessary. He is the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bandol Posted September 24, 2020 Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 If continuing appointments are a problem, and depending on your treatment, he will give you at-home exercises for your particular situation. These cost nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooooh, what I wouldn't give for a good 'maintenance person' to come to my house for 90 minutes for $25US!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
