"No words can begin to describe the gratitude I have for the help and guidance Kevin has given me for the past 5 years. I live with a confusing and rare progressive condition, but thanks to Kevin, I have gone from over 3 years in a wheelchair and 19 surgeries to being back to walking. I could not have achieved this without him taking extreme interest in understanding what my condition does to the body and how to try to work around and with it. I was always happy to follow his instructions at home for I always knew they were in my best interest. We worked as team and together, we accomplished what others thought was impossible.
I would not hesitate to return to Kevin and Muldowney if the need arises. But I know he hopes that I continue to move forward with these legs. I frequently refer others that have my condition to Kevin. He is extremely intelligent and puts the patients' well being first."

"When I arrived last December, I was incapacitated by back pain; unable to sit or flex. I received an MRI and Kevin correctly read it to diagnose spondylolisthesis . After therapy and since then, my flexibility has returned completely and I am pain free."

"Thank you very much Joe. Nick's elbow feels a lot better. He's learned a lot of exercises and hopefully the importance of stretching and training."

"When I first came to see Linda, I was having pain through the neck and shoulder area. With Linda's help with physical therapy, the pain went away and she showed me ways to improve myself. This is my second time as a patient for Muldowney Physical Therapy. I have been very impressed with Kevin and Linda and would suggest people to come and make appointments with them."

"Excellent care throughout my treatment. Always on time with friendly service. Feel much better now that my therapy is complete. A pleasure coming and would recommend to anyone."

"I came to Muldowney Physical Therapy after injuring my rotator cuff doing pilates and yoga. For several weeks I had continued to exercise and realized my injury needed attention. Muldowney Physical Therapy was excellent in assessing the injury and providing a plan to ameliorate the shoulder injury. My therapist, Linda, was very professional and knowledgeable. She was very encouraging as she gradually built stamina in my shoulder. I am very pleased with my results and would gladly recommend this facility."

"I went to Muldowney Physical Therapy because of tightness and pain in lower back. I was in pain both sitting and standing. I was shown how to do lower back exercises and stretching. It worked very well for me quickly. I will continue this workout myself. Thank you for the help."

"PT was great. I was in awful pain in my left forearm. Kevin was a perfect healer. Now I am fine and can sew and am able to attend Curves again."

"I have had a marked increase in strength, coordination and endurance since beginning this program. In addition to standard exercises, Kevin used different techniques to loosen extremely tight muscles that were causing much of the pain. This is not the typical physical therapy that groups people together for repeated exercise. It is an individualized plan with excellent results."

"Trouble with pain with pushing/pulling - like opening doors. Unable to lift more than a few pounds without pain. Pain when turning wrist. Unable to straighten elbow or bend up all the way. Now I can do everything normally without pain. I can completely straighten/bend elbow. No pain when pushing/pulling. Able to lift weights without pain."

"Before seeing Kevin Muldowney, the pain in my right shoulder and neck area limited a number of my daily activities. This included simple tasks like driving, talking on the cell phone or carrying bags. I found myself always in continuous pain and using my left arm whenever possible. After working with Kevin, my shoulder has gained back its full strength and range of motion. There is no longer constant irritation and I am able to continue my workouts at the gym. Kevin and his staff are very pleasant and welcoming. Working with them not only helped my injury, but having a friendly staff was an excellent plus."

"Before coming to Muldowney Physical Therapy, I was unable to participate in army physical fitness training exercise on my own, or even walk comfortably with my pulled hamstring. After completion of my physical therapy, I am able to perform better than I was before my injury. I now participate successfully in all the activities mentioned above."

"Could not look left all the way turning head. Can turn with no pain now.Had weakness in pinky and index fingers and pain in upper arm. Doctor missed pinched nerve in neck which Kevin picked up on right away.After working with him on over 5 visits, feel great. Arm and fingers are much better and have no pain."

"Thank you so much for helping me with my back. I appreciate all of your patience and flexibility on my progress. Sorry for the setbacks. Thanks for keeping me in line and putting my back back in line. I love all the work I have to do because it will make me stronger eventually. I still and probably always will hate those marches because I can't keep my butt up always :-) Again, thanks for always showing me what to do before I have to do it. I hope I get to see you again, but not because I need to have you fix me.
Thanks Joe"

"I had a very positive physical therapy experience with Linda Latourneau. Before the therapy, I could only sit for 5 minutes and walk around the house. Now I feel stronger and able to work and do household tasks as needed. I think the hands-on approach as well as the exercises contributed to a positive recovery. I would highly recommend Linda."

"Since I have been coming to Muldowney Physical Therapy my lower back has become stronger and more stable. Doing the exercises makes a huge difference as well as following specific directions. My neck is also aligned properly now and my shoulder is also stronger. I personally prefer the hands-on approach better than just exercise. To me, I have also learned my specific problems and know how to avoid them. Kevin explains all muscles and their connections with the skeleton of the body. Personally the personal touch and explaining what is being worked on is for me the way to go."
