Physical Therapy is divided into two categories:  Occupational and Physical.  Occupational therapy is helping one get back to doing the daily activities of their lives.  Physical therapy is helping one's muscles, etc. as closely as possible to performing the way they would normally.

The Stonehill physical therapy department has a reputation for being one of the best in the Dubuqueland area.  They have a staff that is highly qualified in this field and very dedicated to their profession.  They also bring a great sense of humor to their work which helps a patient make it through "tough" but necessary successful treatment.  A personal example of this is:  During an extremely painful (but absolutely necessary session to get results) Deb and Diane told me to breathe like a mother during child birth!  I responded (while in tremendous pain) saying that I feel like I gave birth to triplets!

I have nothing but great respect for these extremely competent therapists and very grateful for the good fortune to be one of their beneficiaries!
