To Whom It May Concern:

This letter is written to express my appreciation for Ellen Weinel, PT with Carolina Physical Therapy Associaties, Inc. I have been seeing Ellen for several months now,

I am a 61 year old woman, morbidly obese, with many of the problems that go along with my age and weight. I present with chronic pain and the inability to walk or exercise due to my poor physical condition. Ellen started me off by helping me help myself with core muscle building techniques. While working on that, a bone spur in my foot flared up and she assisted me with managing that as well. Ellen is a warm, friendly person. She makes her patients feel like family and in doing so, her patients are moved to follow her instructions because we don’t want to let her down. Ellen made some very mundane, but necessary exercises fun and therefore I was more inclined to do them. You just have to envision a short, obese older woman with a picture in her mind “Walk like a model” to appreciate some of what she makes happen. All I can say is thank you to Ellen and Carolina Physical Therapy for helping me on my road to recovery.

Most Sincerely,

Patricia T
