Sciatica or pain traveling down the leg along the path of the sciatic nerve can be caused by a couple of different regions. These symptoms are most generally associated with lower back pain: disc issues or stenosis (narrowing of the spaces between vertebrae), sciatic nerve tension, piriformis syndrome, or gluteal referral pain. Treating one area may not relieve all the symptoms and this is why a thorough evaluation is required to assess where the pain is coming from.

Chronic conditions and over use conditions are related to improper movement patterns. When we hurt, we move differently and vice-versa. We are able to identify these improper movement patterns and retrain the movement to reduce pain and improve performance. We will focus on muscle activation, timing, and patterning to maximize the way your body moves.

Everyone comes to physical therapy with particular goals in mind and we will work toward those goals with you. We take what you want to do and break it down so we can work you back up to that goal.

    My name is Jean Miller and this is my “graduation day” from my third rehabilitation program for knee surgery provided by Johnson & Hayes. Based on my experiences, I would like to offer my recommendation for Johnson & Hayes. The team is to be commended for providing a competent, well-trained staff that operates under a policy of thoroughness and patience in helping their patients work through often difficult procedures. I have used Johnson & Hayes for the three periods of treatment that I have undergone, and I cannot visualize any one providing better treatment program plans and being more helpful and considerate than they are. My therapies have been difficult since I have had three surgeries on the same knee. During the course of my therapy I developed a valued friendship with my therapist due to her kind and understanding nature and her pleasant personality. We have had a lot of laughs in spite of an otherwise difficult situation. She always kept my rehabilitation objectives in focus and has done so much for my overall recovery. Upon my graduation I will really miss the Johnson & Hayes team!

    My name is Penny Billings and I have worked with a therapist at Johnson & Hayes for multiple issues over a period of many years. Why do I keep coming back? Well rather than just the obvious – to get better – I feel that my therapist and the team at Johnson & Hayes provide the best treatment option for me. I am consistently pushed to advance. The therapists have unique ways to customize exercises to meet any limitation, and have great suggestions on how to continue exercises with things already in your home. I am by nature an impatient person and always want immediate results. My therapist paced me well, and challenged me. In the end, I am better than I started! “I can’t do it” is not an option! I always recommend the team at Johnson & Hayes to others!

    My name is Victoria Frederick, and as a professional athlete I have come in contact with many physical therapists throughout my career. After my knee injury, it was not hard to choose where I wanted to perform my rehabilitation. Johnson & Hayes has continually impressed me from the equipment they provide down to the personnel that work there. They provide a relaxed and friendly atmosphere for their patients while maintaining a professional attitude. I am a person who likes to be driven and challenged, and Johnson & Hayes provided me with a therapy regime that did just that. I was able to see positive results within days of my surgery, and consistently got better ahead of schedule. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Johnson & Hayes, and I would recommend them to anyone.

    My name is Ronnie L. Rogers, and without hesitation I recommend Johnson & Hayes to any person in need of a physical therapist. Six weeks after bilateral knee replacement with major complications I left the hospital. I was unable to walk or stand without assistance. Even sitting was difficult and I could not keep my head in an upright position. With compassion, knowledge, skill and toughness my therapist enabled me to function on my own in four weeks and restored me to almost full function in eight weeks. Since that time I have had numerous other physical problems requiring therapy. I’ve always returned to Johnson & Hayes because I know they will get me back to normal quickly.

    My name is Shawn Faust, and as a professional basketball player I have been in contact with many physical therapist through out my basketball career. I was introduced to Todd Hayes and Scott Johnson through my brother, who is an athletic trainer with the Philadelphia 76ers, and has worked with both Scott and Todd. I had ACL reconstruction, and was introduced to them in 2007. I was playing with the Washington Generals touring with the Harlem Globetrotters at the time of my injury and needed to have a fast recovery to get back playing. I will put Todd Hayes and Scott Johnson up there with any Physical Therapists in the business. They are as aggressive as they need to be, but make sure the rehab process is in the timely matter it needs to be in. I will honestly say I looked forward to going to rehab with them everyday, and not to many can say they like to rehab any injury. Not only did I enjoy rehabbing with them I learned a lot about my injury and how to prevent further injuries. They are great communicators and teachers of the injuries they are working with. Their staff is top of the line with all of the Physical Therapist willing to help with anything you need. I was able to get back playing in around 5 months at about 75% continuing to follow the rehab program they provided while on tour with the Globetrotters to get me back to 100%. The both of them are very passionate about what they do. Their staff is very kind and treats the patients with respect and care. I would recommend Johnson and Hayes to any athlete on any level with any injury.

    My name is Monica Duncan, and I want to thank my very gifted therapist at Johnson & Hayes. She listened to me and skillfully applied different therapeutic techniques to alleviate pain, discomfort and problems that require physical therapy. Before I EVER consider surgery again, I will visit Johnson & Hayes and ask my therapist for alternative options. I truly believe people can avoid many knee surgeries with proper therapy when the pain begins. I thank God for my therapist. She and her co-workers are a gift to us all.
