Lifeline Warrendale is an amazing rehabilitation facility!!! Therapists Kathleen and Olivia (and their assistants in training) were friendly/patient/knowledgeable and encouraging. I liked how they explained each exercise and how it would improve and benefit my recovery! I loved how the activities were tailor made to the clients needs! Oh…those massages!😃
Not only did these therapists support and lead me through pre surgery PT, but successfully got both my replaced knees back in action! Yay!
Did I have to push myself to do some hard/ repetitive exercises?….yes. Was the therapy sometimes difficult and painful?….yes. Being able to function and and feel confident in daily living activities, after surgery, is priceless! Kudos to the hard working/fun/ excellent therapists at Lifeline/Warrendale! They are my heros!

I just completed my Pulmonary Rehab at Lifeline in Warrendale. I can’t thank Kathleen, Olivia, Alyssa and Kylie enough. These Ladies made the workouts so positive with encouragement, concern and genuine excitement for their patients accomplishments. It is truly heartwarming and I can’t thank them enough.

The Pulmonary Rehab program at Warrendale is outstanding and has made a significant difference in my quality of life in only a couple of months. Both Kathleen and Olivia are excellent therapists who are supportive and encouraging while challenging each individual to meet their own personal goals. They are very personable, jovial and actually make the hard work an enjoyable experience. I highly recommend this program.

When I began coming to lifeline I was struggling with standing for periods of time and was unable to do simple household chores and walk short distances. Since participating in PT I have improved 75 to 80 percent. Thanks to the physical therapy team that I had in participated in my healing process. I am thankful for Alisa , Kathleen , and Olivia who have been so very patient with me , and the PT sometimes strenuous has helped with my breathing and ability to do some activities that I have not done for quite some time! I have noticed that I am able to do activities that in the past were not able to perform! I would certainly recommend Lifeline to others . The patience they display and overall support has been above and beyond !

When I started this program I had only recently started using oxygen full time! I have never in my life been depressed but this did me in! After 30 visits I am using oxygen while sleeping only! I love this team, Kathleen, Olivia, and Alyssa! They r kind, caring, enthusiastic cheerleaders! Every step of the way they are enjoying seeing Patients succeed. They go out of their way guiding u to success! I will miss them and the friends I made terribly. I'd give them 10 stars if I could, don't hesitate, these Ladies know what they're doing!!!

I came to Lifeline for cardiac rehabilitation after dealing with heart problems. I hadn’t gotten much out of cardiac rehab at a different facility, so honestly, I wasn’t expecting a lot. Instead, I was blown away by how genuinely life‑changing this has been for me.
The team here built a program around my goals and adjusts the workouts so they never feel stale or repetitive. The staff creates a friendly, welcoming atmosphere that encourages conversation and connection among patients, which makes a huge difference when you’re working through something as serious as cardiac rehab.
This place has motivated me, given me confidence, and helped me improve other areas of my life. I can’t recommend them highly enough

I am grateful to Dr. Dumont for recommending Lifeline. In a few short months, I am breathing smarter and working hard to recover and get my life back. The entire staff has educated me about my breathing and helped me with balance issues and physical weakness and pain management. I am amazed at my progress. Definitely give them a try. Call and see how they can help you.

I had a VERY great experience at Lifeline in Warrendale. My care team - Kathleen, Olivia, and Gianna - walked me through the whole plan - from eval, to treatment, and expectations. My experience was exceptional at every phase. The therapists were always positive, encouraging, and friendly. They worked on a treatment plan that fit my needs and schedule, and they were clearly VERY skilled and knowledgable. They recognized when to back off and when/how to push me for a better outcome FASTER. By the time I got to my last visit, I was pain free, feeling confident and had a deeper understanding of how to avoid future injuries and flare-ups. I would highly recommend Lifeline and will gladly go back if I ever need to.

These ladies are friendly, knowledgeable, encouraging and make "torture" a good experience. Dr.K.Z. always has a plan to help you progress positively, while being sensitive to your daily limitations.
Rehab can be tough but this crew makes it tolerable...and a bit fun.

I was hesitant to go to Physical Therapy. All my past experiences did not end well. There was no monitoring of your exercises. At Lifeline (Warrendale) the one on one was great. Thank you Olivia, Kathleen, Jovanna, and Jen. You all helped me a lot.

My experience with Lifeline Physical Therapy in Warrendale was excellent! They gave me personal attention and made sure that while I was doing the exercises that they prescribed, they monitored my heart rate and vital signs. After two months of therapy, I was stronger, healthier, and more active. They took very good care of me, and I would highly recommend Dr. Zulkoski and the entire staff to anyone who needs rehab!

Kathleen continues to be a tremendous support in helping me maintain a healthy lifestyle! She has assisted me in the past with knee and shoulder issues and is currently helping me with a groin injury. Not only does she provide incredible treatment… She advises the what and why as to what she is doing as well!

When I first came here for Pulmonary Rehab. I would hardly be able to do much of anything without being short of breath. With their help and getting on the right medicine, Dupixent. I am now able to do 90 minutes of cardio and no shortness of breath.
I can't say enough about the loving, and caring therapists. I highly recommend Mindi, Kathleen and Carolyn!!!

Mindy, Kathleen, Carolyn and Sierra are wonderful. My diagnosis of Alpha-1 was a punch in the gut. They made my pulmonary rehab beneficial and enjoyable! Smart crew! Highly recommended for physical and pulmonary therapy rehab!

I worked with Kathleen for 2 months in an effort to strengthen my knee for a trip to Europe with a focus on climbing stairs! I just returned and am happy to report that I had no issues whatsoever…even with the 400 plus stairs at Mont St Michel. Kathleen is an excellent therapist and pushed me to ensure I would be able to fully participate in all of the European adventures and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a physical therapist!

Everyone at Lifeline is so welcoming and friendly. Especially, Kathleen! She did such a great job working with me and finding ways for me to fit my exercises into my busy, daily schedule. Prior to my surgery, she worked with me to manage pain and helped me find relief. After surgery, she helped me with building strength and increasing my flexibility!

Yes. Many of our Warrendale patients come in for ongoing back, neck, shoulder and knee pain, and our therapists build a one-on-one plan around your goals rather than a one-size-fits-all routine. We combine hands-on treatment, targeted exercise and education so you understand what is driving the pain and how to keep it from coming back.
