"I have suffered from a hand injury and was referred to Empower for hand therapy. Thanks to Linda, with her patient help and exercise techniques, my hand is now recovered and am fully (almost) able to do things prior to injury.
I appreciate and am thankful to Linda and the kind staff at Empower with their help and support during my road to recovery. I would definitely recommend this place if anyone requires physiotherapy."
