Zang Physical Therapy

After 3 back surgeries, my back pretty much hurt every day of the week and that was not the worst part. As a result of all those surgeries, I felt I could no longer complete simple activities of daily living. I no longer went to the grocery store. I limited my driving to 15 minutes. And I had difficult walking up the bleachers to sit at my son’s basketball games…The doctor told me I really should go see this guy Andrew Zang because he does things differently than other PTs. I was very skeptical due to past failures…He convinced me that if I did nothing I was going to continue to be stuck right where I was. So I decided to give it a try. We worked not only on the physical part but also the mental part. It took me awhile to understand exactly what he was doing, but started to notice improvement slowly. I still have a way to go, but feel like I am finally on the right path and very grateful to have a PT like Andrew willing to challenge and push me to regain my life again.- Brenda V.

After a very active life, I started experiencing lower back pain which brought most of my physical activities to a halt. Doctors said surgery was an option if I wanted. I then heard of Dr. Andrew Zang, who worked just a short distance from my home.  With regular therapy sessions and some work at home, I began to see slow but definite changes in my pain and function.

What I have noticed is less back and leg pain, the ability to stand for longer periods of time, the ability to walk a lot further without stopping to sit on my rollator walker, increased stamina, an easier time managing steps, and better balance. I enjoy and am now more comfortable eating out with friends again, going to movies, attending concerts, and participating in my singing groups along with our competitions….Mary K.

I had this numbness and tingling down my left leg every time I would walk more than 5 minutes. As an active person, this prevented me from walking with my wife for exercise, working out at the gym, and my bowling league. I tried multiple different treatment options including injections and medication without relief. I finally stumbled upon an article by Andrew talking about a condition similar to what I was feeling. I decided to give him a try before I let any doctor operate on my back. After a few dedicated sessions, the numbness and tingling began to subside and I felt like I could walk again. A few more sessions and I am now back to bowling and walking with my wife every night. – Albert K
