David Filzen, PT

I went to see Dave after he moved to Northfield. I had bursitis in both hips and needed PT . Dave had been my physical therapist for about 20 years before he moved to Northfield. He is a very kind person who cares about his patients. He has helped me after several surgeries including knee replacements and shoulder surgery. Dave has always been on time and knows what exercises will help you improve.

I like his way of using a card with a picture and explanation for each exercise. He included a few of my suggestions which he also had on his card system. After a couple of sessions I asked if I could try traction. After 3 or 4 times I decided I did not like the feeling of it so much afterwards when walking and we stopped. I could actually not feel any traction at the moment of the procedure. The entire procedure didn't take very long. There was variety in the exercises: using 2 lbs weights, stretches, the 'plank', many to strengthen the core of the body, ...and I did all of them at home, most days.
