She's very knowledgeable about the issue that I had. She gave me the technical term and the nickname term for it to make it easy for me to understand either way. She gave me a paper so I can do physical therapy work at home. It is a common repetitive issue, that I have. It is something that I have to try to manage for my line of work. But she gave me a paper to help me work with it and explained what to do and definitely offer it if she is needed again to please do not hesitate to call back and make an appointment.
