“Limping from recent surgery, I apprehensively entered Babin Physical Therapy. A friendly staff welcomed me with many smiles! Mike Babin, knowledgeable and efficient, devised a physical therapy plan to help me heal. He and his coworkers encouraged and challenged me during each session. I began to look forward to exercising and to the camaraderie. After several months of dedicated work, my right leg muscles became stronger, and I no longer limped. I attribute this success to the expertise, guidance, and compassion of Mike Babin and his staff- Steve, Bryce, Hannah, Ja’Riel and Rachel. With all my heart, I thank them for helping me regain my physical strength.” - Hedy K. “After several months of dedicated work, my right leg muscles became stronger, and I no longer limped.”
