I have been seeing Dr. Eric Schulte for approximately 1.5 years for thoracic outlet syndrome, which my doctor said will take up to three years of physical therapy treatment to heal. Previously, I was in and out of physical therapy for chronic knee pain, and I have seen 6 other physical therapists for this issue over a period of 5 years; I share all of this information to emphasize that I have a great deal of experience with receiving physical therapy treatment. Eric is by far the most dedicated, intelligent, thoughtful, and creative physical therapist I have ever seen. I followed him from his previous clinic to MovementX, because Eric shows a degree of dedication and commitment to his patients' healing that I have never witnessed in another healthcare provider. He is up-to-date on current research, and from my experience, I have seen that he is so amazing at his work because he genuinely enjoys the process of generating innovative, unique solutions to solve the complex issues that are presented by my condition. I have made tremendous progress through my work with him, and I know that I owe my progress to his dedication and his compassionate approach to treatment. Eric also has attended my appointments with my acupuncturist and my osteopathic manipulative medicine providers, and he communicates with them regularly outside of my appointments. I am truly amazed and beyond grateful that he takes the time to stay in regular communication with them, given that this has been extremely helpful in guiding my healing journey. I have never had another physical therapist take the initiative to stay in regular communication with my providers, let alone come to my appointments. Additionally, it has been extremely helpful to have Eric come to my home to provide treatment. Since proper posture is critical to heal from TOS, having him be able to provide helpful adjustments to my desk and the table where I eat my meals has also allowed me to feel more comfortable and experience fewer symptoms when I am at home. Eric also provides me with extra time at the end of my appointments when he has the ability to, and I always finish every appointment feeling grateful that my questions have been answered, and that I have a physical therapist who I know is looking out for my best interests and genuinely cares about my healing. I am really thankful and blessed to be under his care.
