Success Stories

I have learned and improved using Vori. My favorite is the virtual workout with coaching as I exercise.

I love the program but I recommend that we should have a choice with hands on P.T or online cause with my case i really needed more hands on due to needing help with my P.T cause of the pain

I opted to try this as my insurance offered it and I did not need to go to a dr's office or have a referral. I was having pain in my thumb and elbow so I thought I would make an appointment. Making the appointment was very easy and I did fill out medical information, which isn't unusual. My first appointment was with an orthopedic and followed by a physical therapist. Both drs were very understanding, listened and were just very pleasant to work with. I love the exercises from my therapist and the fact that you can see yourself doing them so you know if you are doing them correctly, Their response time is quick if I have a question also. I highly recommend!!!

I would like to summarize Vori Health's services in three points: 1.- Excellent health professionals, thank you very much for all your follow up to my back pain problems. 2.- Immediate attention, as soon as I registered with Vori Health I was able to have my first appointment immediately, no more waiting times. 3.- Technology applied to the service of health. The web portal, the mobile application, the videoconference room, the bone recognition when doing the exercises, every technological element of Vori Health is perfectly designed and applied to improve my health. Thank you Dr. Elizabeth, Hannah and Myung!!

Thank you, Excellus BC/BS, for suggesting Vori Health as a physical therapy option. My experience with their healthcare professionals was just that—caring and professional! I’d had a bad experience with a local physical therapist group, so I hesitated to try another - especially a remote offering. I needed relief from back pain and hip and nerve pain, and I wanted to be educated as to how to relieve, prevent, and understand the conditions. Vori came through for all three. My first session, over Zoom, was with an MD and a PT. After uploading the documents from any previous testing (MRI, X-rays, etc.), Dr.s Fiechtl and Milligan listened and discussed with each other possible causes and solutions. They asked for demonstrations of my range of motion, flexibility, etc. A set of exercises was prescribed and left in my Vori portal. These used a split screen: on one half was the model demonstrating the exercise, and the other was me - with a sort of skeleton overlay on me, tracking my movements and correcting them for best results. This was fabulous! I could do my exercises at my convenience, without leaving home! Even better, I had immediate, continual feedback to ensure the best results. More than anything, I wanted to be educated. Dr. Milligan provided detailed answers with charts, videos, diagrams, and explanations. I understand what is likely causing the pain and know that the exercises will lessen it through stretches and strengthening. Once I felt comfortable, I was given a set of more challenging exercises. It’s a great feeling to have confidence in movement and to feel stable and strong. I’m very grateful, Dr. Milligan. The Vori portal offers direct messaging with the MD and PT. All questions and concerns are answered promptly. Follow-up sessions are scheduled at your convenience, with reminders via text and/or email. It’s very easy to reschedule if necessary.

Five Stars all day long!!! I was very hesitant to try this avenue of care. I had over done it with some painting and working out and developed tendonitis in my elbow. This was extremely frustrating as my fitness is a central component of my self care. I just wanted to get back into my workout pain free!! I was pleasantly surprised. The doctor and physical therapist were knowledgeable, helpful and professional. I tell all my friends that they should consider doing this if they have an issue! Very effective and helpful! I was very impressed with Jared and his continued commitment to my issue and it's resolution. Thanks so much!!

When I started Vori Health, I was walking like the Hunchback of Notre Dame--hunched over and limping. I couldn't straighten up and I swayed side-to-side. I had chronic--and I mean daily--pain in my back and left hip that hurt me everyday and prevented me from doing things I like to do (gardening, walking) without suffering a great deal of pain. I'd been having back problems for more than 20 years; a recent diagnosis in 2022 diagnosed me via MRI with spondylolisthesis grade 2 in the lower lumbar area. But I also had chronic hip pain for about the last eight or nine years and didn't know what was causing it. My rheumatologist did do an MRI of that hip in 2019; the only thing he said was that I could no longer take any prednisone for pain. When I started with Vori, I was hoping I'd find ways to alleviate this chronic back and hip pain and become more able to do the things I like to do. The physician, Dr. Elizabeth Pena, and the Physical Therapist, Domenica Potena, who worked with me for the past several months helped me achieve great success with the back pain. It is virtually gone; rarely do I feel any pain and I walk with a straight back. To keep my back straight and pain-free, Domenica taught me exercises that helped me strengthen my back, hips and legs to the point where I can stand straight without pain. I use her prescribed exercise program daily, as instructed. During the weeks we worked together, she refined the exercise program, custom-tailoring it to what she came to learn I needed. Exercise is the prescription that is saving me from having back surgery. Regarding my hip, Domenica gave me exercises to strengthen my left hip. The strength of my hip as improved; I can remember back when Domenica and I started, I could barely lift my left leg to do any abductor or adductor exercises. So there has been improvement, but the pain is still there, sometimes quite severe. At that point, Dr. Pena prescribed an x-ray of my left hip. What we found out is that I have a cam deformity and advanced osteoarthritis, and Dr. Pena has referred me to an orthopedic surgeon. I can't thank her enough for that x-ray and a good diagnosis of what may possibly be the cause of the chronic pain in my hip. My thanks to Dr. Pena and Domenica for all the time and effort they put into helping me get back to being active and pain-free once again!

Less energetic. Lots of energy is my goal. Strengthening muscles is my goal, and also reducing flabby skin.

I broke my humerus in 2 places, after a bad fall on the ice in mid December. I needed PT, but this winter was a snowy icy winter and I couldn't drive. I would need to depend on others and also worried about slipping on the ice again. I remembered receiving a flyer about Vori Health from my insurance company, so I checked it out. I could not believe the thoroughness of the service, from the very beginning! Having a doctor, Elizabeth Pena, speak with me at length at the first appointment was wonderful. But what's more, my therapist, Myung Soo Choi, was wonderful and the program delivered the best PT experience I ever had! The videos of personalized exercises with live guidance using your camera was brilliant! I believe I progressed faster with this program than I could have with any other. I tell everyone I know about the program. Keep it up!

My health Coach has been both caring and helpful. I like the team approach. I have a doctor, physical therapist, and health Coach who work together to help me reach my health goals.

I have used virtual PT before and the availability of my Dr, the quality of the program and the fact that I don't need sensors all over my shoulder and body is just perfect for me and exceeds my previous experience. It really takes away any excuse to not take care of your body. My shoulder feels much better! To the point to where recently someone made a comment about my basketball game and I told them "my shoulder is back!". I encourage the continued advancement and marketing of this technology and am a big advocate for Vori health and this type of PT. I also feel fortunate to have the genuine and clearly effective care from Dr. Patrick. He has worked to tailor my treatment plan to get the results I want. I get to run basketball games with people half my age and my shoulder PT is a big reason why!

Vori Health has been a real game changer for my overall health. The total support from my team has help me achieve my goals. My team Jared, Rusti, Anita, Amy, and Carolyn all work together to provide total care. My Physical therapist help with my back pain and help me get back into the gym. My dietition help me with better eating habits. My Life coach gave me tools to maintain my mental health. Overall they all work together for a holistic approach to better health. They are always available and check on me. They have encouraging words and keep me positive about the small goals.
