Leanora helped me to understand what was wrong with my back and how to manage the pain and increase my mobility. No one else really understood or explained anything to me. I can hike again and ride my bike!!!!
Many thanks to Leonora & Melinda for their professional and caring treatment. Healing an elbow is a process and with their expertise in manual therapy and guidance for at-home exercises, I could feel the improvements each week. I felt very safe even with Covid concerns as they have a very effective procedure for screening, cleaning and scheduling during this difficu Vlt time. Even though the number of patients that can visit the clinic each day is limited right now, I was able to get a very regular and flexible schedule in place. Life is back to normal now and I am so very thankful for the excellent treatment and super support. I highly recommend Arkansas Valley Physical Therapy and Pain Center for all rehab/recovery/pain management needs.
Leanora and Melinda Literally got me on my feet after ankle surgery and back to my life!! They are passionate about helping everyone that needs physical therapy !! The knowledge is priceless!I I would highly recommend them!!!
Leonora is the Best. I had a message waiting for me when I returned home from the orthopedic's office, and was receiving therapy 6 days later. The office is professional, yet has a friendly atmosphere making for a good experience. She makes you work, and the results are fantastic. I highly recommend !!!
I went to Arkansas Valley PT for treatment of shoulder and neck pain. Leanora and Melinda developed a personalized exercise program for me and provided manual therapy. They did a good job of explaining things and offering suggestions for relieving my pain. I am very happy with the treatment I received, it significantly improved my condition. I highly recommend Arkansas Valley PT.
I had full replacements on both of my knees last year and I went to Leanora at Arkansas Valley PT for physical therapy after both surgeries. It was the best decision I could have made.

Leonora & Melinda are exceptional therapists. They schedule you around your needs and work hard to get you where you need to be. I finish my therapy (post total knee replacement) next week but know they are there in case I need them. Very highly recommended. I wouldn't use anyone else for PT. Thank you both for such AWESOME care.

After knee replacement surgery, Leonora, Melinda, and Emily worked hard to get me back to where I wanted to be. They were always able to schedule time for me in spite of my variable schedule. They not only closely monitored my progress but also adjusted treatment to meet my specific goals and needs. Every one of them was friendly and extremely competent making sessions a pleasant experience. If I ever need physical therapy again I will not hesitate to contact Arkansas Valley PT.

Leonora and Melinda have been helping me to recover from a horrible injury that was made worse because of bad medical advice in the beginning. I have improved greatly over the past few months, range of motion much better. Thanks ladies!

I had knee correction surgery in October, and Leonora and Emily gently but firmly guided me through the recovery process over the following several months. They are both quite knowledgeable, empathetic and encouraging, and my knee has progressed extremely well. The atmosphere in the clinic is warm and friendly, which helps so much while you're struggling to recover and get back to your life. I wouldn't go anywhere else in Chaffee County for physical therapy and highly recommend Arkansas Valley Physical Therapy to others!

Leonora and Melinda were wonderful! They worked me into the schedule while I was in Salida for the summer recovering from shoulder surgery, and were so kind and professional. Highly recommended!

Leanora and Melinda are the best PT people in the Valley. I went to Leanora originally to recover from a bicep tendon repair a few years ago. She worked hard to get me fully recovered from that injury and the scar tissue that was, building up - she made the scar tissue disappear and the Ortho doc was happily amazed at my progress. Because of her, I am completely recovered from that. So when I had a knee replacement in may 2020 I knew I would go back to her. She is a very hard worker and compassionate and caring. She really wanted me to get to a point where the pain was non-existent and my range of motion was optimal. She and Melinda both are excellent physical therapists. They really care about their patients and want their patients to recover. They gave me home exercises to complement the physical therapy sessions. They have a personal touch that is unsurpassed in this valley. They were my first choice for rehab and will continue to be my first choice. I would highly recommend Arkansas Valley Physical Therapy for any PT you may require. Best in the Valley!

I torn my ACL (and other accompanying injuries in my knee) in February, my first bigger injury and surgery, and I was pretty shaken up. Leanora and Melinda were there for me, not only helping me physically recover 2 days after surgery , but helping me go through it all with such a positive, but stern approach. After few sessions COVID 19 shut everything down and I could not see my surgeon nor PT in person for over couple of months. Even despite exercising 3 times daily I fell really behind. Once Leanora started seeing me in person and working manually with my knee, mobilizing patella and going through the scar tissue build up, we caught right up to where I was supposed to be, really impressing my surgeon from Steadman Clinic in Vail. This experience really taught me that it is super important to do professional physical therapy with experienced PTs, that master the manual therapy and I can attest that Leanora and Melinda really do. Thank you both so much for fixing me and I cannot wait to ski backcountry again pretty soon and that is only thanks to them.

I had a Total Knee Replacement surgery and Leanora was amazing !
I walked with a limp for years before the surgery and had to really work on walking normal after the surgery - Leanora and her team really worked hard to get me there and with their kind encouragement I made it!
She really cares about you as a person, you are not just another client to her. Here you can really get personalized care. Mckenna, the dog, really cheers you up when some of those days that are not so easy!

I rarely write reviews, but I am writing this one because I believe in the approach, atmosphere, and overall treatment I received at Ark Valley PT. What I love most about Ark Valley PT is the people. Leanora and Melinda are both great to work with! They made the sometimes-difficult process of physical rehabilitation a light, friendly, helpful, and effective experience. I spent most of my time with Leanora for recovery from a hip labral tear, meniscus tear, and MCL tear. Her extensive knowledge and experience was evident during my treatment. She was very thoughtful in her methodology towards my treatment including tweaking the protocol when needed. Leanora not only took great care of me while in her clinic, but also checked in on me to see how I was doing and to make sure that I had the correct exercises to work with on my own. I am incredibly pleased with the treatment and care I received - and I am doing great now! My recovery is proof of the great care and attention I received at Ark Valley PT.
