Although I was back to ‘full-on’ dancing in three months, I’ve continued to go to Kessler to become even stronger through the physical therapy services there.

Chris

Howell, NJ “I came to Kessler for occupational therapy after surgery on a badly smashed hand. There was no telling how long my hand would take to heal or if I would have meaningful use of it again. My therapist helped me go from having a useless hand to getting back to work quicker than I could have hoped.
