My favorite thing about The Perfect Step is the environment. It is safe, friendly, motivating, and most importantly non-judgmental. The therapists really connect with you and meet you where you are at, whether it’s as a new injury or advanced, minimal range of motion or more advanced, etc. This environment really makes therapy enjoyable and with no pressure!
TPS is unique because your therapy sessions are all out of your chair. They really get your whole body moving, which provides good blood flow and stretch to the body that leaves you feeling amazing!
TPS has really jump-started my independence and allowed my confidence to flourish. While attending TPS, I have learned to drive and I am now able to get on the road all on my own. I also achieved educational milestones, such as getting my Bachelors in Social Work. Currently, I am finishing up my Masters's in Social Work and have found a paid internship. TPS really gave me the confidence and mobility to strive towards both my personal and educational goals.
I would want everyone to know that TPS has room for everyone regardless of injury, regardless of confidence, regardless of mobility, etc. There is a treatment plan for everyone.
