Ribbons Physical Therapy is the region's only outpatient rehabilitation clinic exclusively treating Cancer Survivors and Lymphedema patients. We strive to provide an environment for healing where the patient does not have to worry about his/her appearance and can focus on healing. We provide one-on-one individualized care. Sheree was recommended to me by several people, both doctors and nurses as well as individuals like me with lymphedema (in left arm) as a result of cancer surgery and treatment.
I lived and worked in Johnson City so initially I could not travel to Kingsport for therapy. My lymphedema was early stage and quickly. After being diagnosed with lymphedema I chose Ribbons PT and Sheree King for treatment. From the initial visit I realized this was going to be more than treatment but also education. Any and all questions I had were answered, I was treated professionally and made to feel very comfortable and encouraged.
From the staff, all. I started seeing Sheree in the spring of 2020.
