Sushma is very personable and SMART which carries over to the staff she hires. I like the attention of a smaller clinic and the individualized treatments. The body in sync concept is an awesome idea and adjunct to the formal therapy. I can't wait to take a class!
If you feel you are not being heard or your concerns are not being addressed by a “medical professional”, go somewhere else. Trust your gut. If I ever need physical therapy again (knock on wood), I will be going to Body In Motion.
I came to Body In Motion having experienced the worst of health care “professionals”. My Surgeon was not helpful and uninterested in addressing my concerns and my previous physical therapist either lacked the knowledge or want to address my concerns and struggles. I decided to pursue another physical therapist when certain aspects of my rehab were not getting better and I ended up developing other symptoms that had nothing to do with my accident but turned out to be a result of neither my surgeon nor previous physical therapist being able to identify and remedy my struggles.
I have learned that just because a person has a doctorate or a degree in the medical field does not mean they are going to have your best interest in mind or have pride in their profession to work for the best outcome of their patients. My surgeon and previous physical therapist seemed to only care about going through the motions enough to be able to bill my insurance company.
The qualities I respect most about my therapist Sushma Patel at Body In Motion was her professional curiosity, no nonsense attitude and organization. During my first session, she had me walk away from her, toward her and then gave me a pretty intense stretch/massage session. During this process, she was asking me questions and I could tell she was putting some pieces together in her head. She then told me what was going on, why I was struggling with certain aspects of my recovery and what I needed do to work through it. She was able to figure out in 15 minutes what neither my surgeon nor previous physical therapist could in almost two months. During my next session, we began the program and I could immediately feel it working the areas that were giving me problems. It also turns out my previous therapist was either having me do stretches with the incorrect form or not correcting my incorrect form which led to the other symptoms I mentioned before. As I continued Sushma’s program and gained the flexibility I needed to walk with the correct form, these symptoms decreased and subsided. I was soon making progress with leaps and bounds and am now close to “good as new”.
Sushma is the best physical therapist in Kansas City, especially for back problems. I highly recommend Body in Motion PT. The doctor told me that I would be out of sports for 6 weeks but after seeing Sushma once I was back to low impact activity the next day. She is highly knowledgeable and understands that the body often needs to be gently realigned before starting any physical therapy exercises. She uses stretching as a form of manual physical therapy. Such a friendly office too!
I had an excellent experience at Body in Motion while recovering from a broken leg. I was worried I would never be able to bend my knee fully again after two months in a wheel chair. Working with home health therapists, the furthest I had been able to bend the knee was 56 degrees, and I despaired of reaching the goal of 90 degrees or beyond. My therapist at Body in Motion - who holds a doctorate in physical therapy and teaches at the college level - worked with me over many weeks and ultimately my knee was able to bend to more than 120 degrees, the "gold standard." I felt as if I had a wonderful partner guiding me in this hard work and a convenient and pleasant place in which to work. I'm glad to be well again but miss seeing my therapist, Emily! I can't recommend this place highly enough!
I came to Body in Motion for severe back pain that could not be treated with surgery. I didn't want to use heavy medication, but I knew that I needed some focused, individualized attention that I wasn't getting at other physical therapy places. Sushma and her team have provided a compassionate, superior service that has helped me to gain long term relief and enabled me to make great progress in my recovery. I've really been impressed with the compassionate care and support from Body in Motion.
