When Tia came to MOSS Rehabilitation Center she felt like she was at the end of the line. She had “tried everything” without success.
Since we were the “last resort” for her she was very open and eager to give it a try. We worked with Tia to help improve her motion and reduce her pain.
More importantly she felt hopeful that physical therapy would help.
When she graduated not only had she accomplished her goals but she found something even more inspiring. A community of people who walked with her and encouraged her along the way.

Tia’s story:
Tia came to MOSS with complaints of neck and left shoulder pain along with headaches, muscle spasms and difficulty sleeping. She was frustrated to say the least as Tia had tried everything else without relief.
She was not sure what caused her neck and shoulder to hurt but knew she needed help to gain control of her life again.
Tia’s pain came on gradually and was not the result of an injury (something we hear quite often). This can also be very frustrating to the client as they can’t pinpoint something they did to cause their neck to hurt.
Most of the time the pain in her neck and shoulder was dull and achy along with some intense stiffness in the neck. Tia started to notice stiffness in her left shoulder due to lack of use because of the pain it caused.
She also reported intense muscle spasms along with headaches which prevented her from doing her daily activities, working and enjoying life.
At times the pain could get so bad that it would wake her at night and prevent a good restful sleep.
Tia was not sure she could reach her goal of being pain free, since she had tried everything else, but was willing to give it a chance to see if physical therapy could help.
If her pain was not bad enough Tia, had some underlying medical conditions that prevented her from taking harmful medications or undergoing dangerous injections or surgery.
Since we were the “last resort” for her she was very open and eager to give it a try. We worked with Tia (starting at Phase I) to help improve her motion and reduce her pain. She made remarkable progress and really worked hard while she was in the office and at home.
More importantly she felt hopeful that physical therapy would help.
When she graduated not only had she accomplished her goals but she found something even more inspiring. A community of people who walked with her and encouraged her along the way.
Tia finished The MAGICAL 5 Phases of healing and her results are spectacular. On her final visit she reported 0/10 pain and no limitations in her daily life. She was even back to working full time and sleeping without difficulty.
Congratulations to Tia.
“I first came to Moss Rehabilitation at my doctor’s insistence for help with my neck and shoulder pain. For me this was a last resort after trying everything else. Because I have both a liver AND a kidney transplant, pain meds weren’t an option for me. Neither was injections or surgery. I felt I was setup to live a life of pain and missing out on so much. Then…a bright spot… it was hope. It had been so long since I had seen hope that I almost didn’t recognize it. To my surprise, they were able to help me on the first day! I was in literal tears. Tears of joy, relief and my old friend, hope. I left my first visit with more movement and less pain than I had in months! I continued my full course of treatment and improved each visit. Not only that, but as a bonus I had found a place among friends. A place where laughter and encouragement abound. Moss Rehabilitation Center is truly the DISNEYWORLD of physical therapy, because it really is the happiest place on earth. Thank you for the life changing care you brought to me and ALL your patients. With love, Tia Davidson”
KEY TAKEAWAY:
Tia worked hard in therapy but one of the most important (and overlooked) keys is that she remained optimistic and hopeful. When we positively frame our actions we improve our chance of hitting the target.
Tia’s story may sound unique but over my 23+ years of experience I have encountered numerous patients who have similar stories where physical therapy was the “last resort” and we have been able to make some very remarkable transformations.
If you are suffering with neck or shoulder pain and have not tried physical therapy at MOSS Rehabilitation Center then I encourage you to give us a call. Don’t let physical therapy be a last resort for you.
We do things differently here which is why Tia said “Moss Rehabilitation Center is truly the DISNEYWORLD of physical therapy, because it really is the happiest place on earth.”
