Success Stories

Glenda Montgomery

When Glenda Montgomery was finishing her chemotherapy treatments, her oncologist recommended the ReVital Cancer Rehabilitation program at KORT Physical Therapy. Glenda started working with Physical Therapist Jody Swimmer at our center. "She had me working on exercises and activities tailored to my needs," said Glenda, "not what some book or computer program said I needed." Glenda felt so cared for by Jody that when she heard Jody was leaving, she felt like she had to follow up. As it just so happened, Jody wasn't leaving KORT, she was just switching locations, a location that also happened to be closer to Glenda. With Jody's help, Glenda transferred to our Crestwood center so they could continue their treatments. After several months of working together, we are happy to share that Glenda has finished her physical therapy treatment and living well beyond cancer. Congratulations, Glenda!

Pediatric Therapy

We offer multi-disciplinary pediatric therapy services – physical, occupational, speech therapy – to help children reach developmental milestones and their full potential. Therapy methods are typically given in one-on-one sessions, using play-based activities to gain insight into how a child moves, thinks and expresses themselves. Small group therapy also can be helpful for some children to build social skills and communication. Additional specialized programs, such as feeding therapy, sensory/emotional regulation, toe-walking and torticollis, are also available at select locations. We are committed to providing an exceptional experience that enhances each child's participation in desired family, community and school activities.
