Tawny did a great job from start to ending with my lower leg issues. I highly recommend Tawny to help you get back to normal again with your health issues.

i have been very happy with Davis Hackman as my PT. i have a broken shoulder and was apprehensive about PT. Davis made me feel safe and relaxed the very 1st session. I have complete faith that I will regain full range of motion with my shoulder. i have had only 3 sessions, but I would recommend Davis at NW Physical Therapy. He is very knowledgeable and very personable. I look forward to my sessions as I know they are helping me toward my goal of using my left arm again.

Modern laparoscopic hysterectomy with salpingo-oophorectomy surgery is full of poor procedural practices including not providing proper draining of the abdominal pelvic area for healing. The assumption is the body/lymph system will just absorb the fluid produced from the cauterized areas, but there is often so much drainage up to 2-3 weeks post-surgery that the lymph system is simply overwhelmed.
Once the groin and lower lymph nodules/system is filled-up with the post hysterectomy fluids, the fluid drains via gravity into hip and knee joints causing extreme pressure and pain. There can be so much pain caused by fluid swelling post surgery that the knee and hips feel as if there is something suddenly quite acutely structurally wrong. If it weren’t for my own resilience in trying to find the cause and relieve the extreme pressure in my knee and hips post surgery this could have erroneously resulted in another surgery. I talked about this pain with my gynecological surgeon (she had no answer, no suggestions), I went to a few physical therapists who could find nothing wrong with my knee/hip bones, joints, ligaments, I went to an orthopedic surgeon to see if something physical happened during surgery to affect my knee and hip, and I even thought my swelling could be caused from a blood clot so I had various tests (doppler ultrasound, blood work). No reasons for the pain and swelling could be found.
After weeks and weeks of not giving up, one of my local clinic’s physical therapists finally considered that the pain and swelling were being caused from fluid/lymph fluid build-up/swelling. This local clinic did not have the expertise in lymph drainage and recommended that I seeTawny Bridge-Pope at Northwest Physical Therapy and Sports Rehabilitation Center Inc. Tawny is a highly specialized lymph drainage specialist. She moved lymph fluid out of my knee and hip and into other lymph areas within my body. After one visit there was noticeable reduction in swelling and pain. By my final visit I no longer had knee or hip pain or swelling.
I believe the majority of Tawny’s patients are post surgery cancer patients who have their local lymph nodes surgically removed. She has a gentle touch and deeply understands anatomy and kinesiology of the human body.
Thanks Tawny for your talented hands and brilliant approach to helping me heal. I cannot thank Northwest Physical Therapy and Sports Rehabilitation Center enough for hiring such an intelligent, highly skilled person.

RET Physical Therapy in Mount Vernon has offered me consistent, compassionate and effective treatment for a complex rehabilitation condition. My treatment plan included weekly appointments and has spanned over 18 months of treatment. Every staff member I’ve worked with helps me feel safe, seen and heard. Each visit I am greeted by a cheerful hello and the care I receive continues throughout my appointment. My treatment, while sensitive in nature, has involved reaching various milestones before the next part could be started. In each stage I’ve experienced appropriate exercises and have always been treated with respect.
It is evident to me that this clinic is well run. The staff coordinates and cooperates with each other. There is excellent camaraderie and the clinic is clean and organized with safe equipment. I have observed excellent rapport between providers and patients. I’m grateful for the care I’ve received. I’m happy to report that my condition has significantly improved and I give full credit to the care I’ve received here. I highly recommend RET Physical Therapy in Mount Vernon.

A very professional and positive experience! I came into RET, post surgery, with a newly repaired hip labrum and torn glute medius, and slow but sure it’s all getting stronger. And not only the physical is being addressed but the mental part as well. As we all know, bouncing back from an injury can bring on lots of feelings of uncertainty for one’s future. The staff are really great at remaining positive and helping you through that as well. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who’s looking for a great, all-around experience:)

All the staff are very helpful and patient with my needs and take very good care of me. Tawny & Kelly and support staff have been lifesavers with my lymphedema condition and I always feel so much better after my PT sessions. Gris and the front office are very helpful and are patient with my questions or concerns. Whenever I have had an issue with my condition, Tawny and the whole staff help me overcome them and I am very thankful that they are my PT providers. I would give them 10 stars if allowed!! Thanks so much!! 😊😃😊
