Select
Physical
Therapy
in
Estero
is
THE
place
for
excellent,
professional
care
with
a
personal
touch!!
In
fall
of
2022,
I
began
having
arthritis
issues
with
my
hands,
fingers
and
wrists.
I
had
a
busy
work
schedule
during
snowbird
season,
and
by
January
2023
I
had
developed
more
problems
from
overuse.
My
right
thumb
got
trigger
finger,
then
froze
completely
in
place.
It
was
straight,
I
could
not
bend
it.
Soon
after
that,
my
left
thumb
began
clicking
and
catching,
so
I
knew
it
was
just
a
matter
of
time.
I
also
had
trigger
issues
in
other
fingers
and
pain
in
wrists.
My
doctor
offered
to
do
a
referral
to
an
orthopedist,
but
I
knew
they
would
only
offer
injections
or
surgery.
No
thanks!
I
know
the
power
of
good
physical
therapy,
so
I
began
my
search
for
a
Certified
Hand
Therapist.
Not
having
health
insurance,
my
PCP
left
it
up
to
me
to
find
one.
Many
places
here
do
hand
therapy,
usually
by
an
OT,
but
it
was
not
easy
finding
an
actual
CHT.
FINALLY
I
found
Sarah
Yagelski
at
Select
PT.
She
is
a
true
CHT,
amongst
her
other
certifications,
and
she
has
given
me
back
my
hands!
At
my
initial
eval,
Sarah
fully
tested
my
hands/wrists.
We
discussed
my
history,
current
situation
and
goals
for
my
therapy.
She
designs
a
very
personal
therapy,
and
I
have
exercises
to
do
at
home
as
well.
Though
I
know
she
has
many
patients,
I
always
feel
I
receive
her
full
attention
and
care.
In
July
I
was
diagnosed
with
seronegative
RA,
in
addition
my
early
OA.
I
know
my
hands
will
never
be
completely
how
they
once
were,
but
with
therapy
I
am
regaining
use
and
mobility
and
I
also
use
less
medication
for
pain.
Sarah
and
I
are
a
team
in
my
therapy,
and
I've
seen
great
improvement.
I
have
even
regained
use/mobility
of
BOTH
thumbs,
which
is
amazing
in
itself!
I
truly
must
give
Sarah
Yagelski
and
the
staff
at
Select
Physical
Therapy
in
Estero
2
thumbs
up!!
