“My back had been bothering me since I had my daughter. One day it really flared-up after a run. I tried some things on my own but my back still hurt. I went to my primary care doctor who recommended I try physical therapy. I saw Jim Ferland, my therapist in the PPTSM Colchester office, and I am back to running now.”
