When we are young, we think we will be healthy all the time. However, as we get older, many of us feel pain somewhere in our body. We then begin to think about it, and we want someone to help us.

Fortunately, we are lucky to have in Hollister a wonderful Focus Sports Therapy Center where certified specialists help us overcome physical limitations for better balance, coordination, posture, biomechanics and others physical needs.

Recently I visited this center because my doctor recommended for my shoulder pain. From the moment I arrived, Kezhia, a receptionist, with a nice, friendly smile made me feel welcome and comfortable. Moreover, any problems I had with my appointments, she kindly helped me to solve them. Thank you Kezhia, you are amazing !

I want to say a big, special thank you to Adrian Masoni, PT, DPT who in a simple, and understandable way, explained to me my health problem, and why I was feeling pain. Besides a professional treatment in that center, Adrian created a workout plan and gave me a list of recommendations with a little homework – special exercises to do at home. Thank you Adrian for everything you did for me, and all the recommendations you gave to help solve my health problem. You are a very positive person, and you work with your whole heart, with professionalism, and dignity. Thank you so much! You are a special one!

Also I was happy with all the staff, who work there. I appreciated  their friendly attitude toward me. Thank you Gherig, Cyndee and James who kindly and patiently accommodated me during all my exercise sessions and other treatments. You really made me feel comfortable. Thank you so much everyone!

Llikewise I want to give a big thank you to John L. Ceglia, PT, ATC whom I do not know, but who created this FOCUS SPORTS THERAPY CENTER to help people improve their mobility, stamina, flexibility and strength by benefiting  from physical therapy sessions, and put together professional and a close-knit team for the physical health of the people of Hollister. Thank you so much!

 We want to live a happy and healthy life, but sometimes something happens probably to everyone and we need help. I had pain in my shoulders, and my husband Steven, who during the last two months had three knee operations, utilized the center. Now, with great pleasure, he benefits from those physical therapy sessions.

 Over all, all of you were very kind and patient with me. A huge thank you to everyone in this center. All of you not only helped me to reduce my pain, but you helped me to reorganize my daily schedule for better health. I understand that to completely solve my health problem, I need to seriously continue to follow all your recommendations. Without you it will be not that easy, but I’ll try to visualize you beside me!  I will pretend that you are watching me, so it will be no excuses for myself to skip my exercisesYou will be my light at the end of the tunnel.

From the bottom of my heart thank you so, so much!

Sincerely,

Your patient, Natalya
