I hurt my shoulder. I met my PT and she was amazing & helpful. She showed me how to work every movement with helpful advice. She was sweet, friendly, and welcoming. After five weeks, I feel so much better. Activities that would cause me pain before, I can now do easily. Thank you so much to all the staff here!

When I first came for physical therapy, everything was wavy. I felt like I was constantly walking on water. Here we are at the end of PT - and Becca has challenged me every time. She also gave me the tools to improve on my own. I have experienced her knowledge with my issue, and she has helped me to improve greatly. I believe that I am functioning at a much higher level than when I first came.

My experience here has been amazing. Progress throughout physical therapy has helped me regain strength and confidence. At the beginning, even small stretches would hurt - but over time - working with Lex has helped me regain strength in my shoulder. Physical therapy helped me, and reminded me that recovery takes patience and dedication, and that progress, no matter how small, is still progress.

After rotator cuff surgery, I was seen by PTA in just a few days- led by Burt and Jaron. My experience in recovery could not have gone smoother. Every week I could see improvement with strength and movement. While the first few weeks of therapy were challenging, the method to the madness proved fruitful. I could not be more pleased with the professionalism, and care from all the staff here at Physical Therapy Associates.

My experience here has helped me tremendously. Becca is a very good therapist and definitely knows what she is doing! Also, a very pleasant person with patience for her job. I will have surgery on my right knee and would like help from her afterwards.

I came to Physical Therapy Associates after injuring my back.

I was in severe pain. I could only walk short distances before the pain stopped me.

As a result of the PT I received, my pain decreased significantly, and I was able to resume normal activities.

The therapist with whom I worked were awesome. They were kind, respectful, and compassionate - but also challenged me by gradually increasing the therapy exercises.

I am exceedingly grateful for the assistance I received and the healing that resulted.

This was the first time I've ever been sent to rehab for therapy. I was very pleasantly surprised that the atmosphere was so friendly while also being professional. My therapist, Becca, was very knowledgeable about exactly which exercises I needed for my two distinct medical problems. When I told her about my balance and dizzy problems, she also included therapy for those problems. After being in therapy for almost 10 weeks, I feel so much better with diminished pain and improved balance. She ended our last session by sending me home with a print out of the exercises for me to continue on my own. I have nothing but praise for Physical Therapy Associates and Becca.

Let me tell you about my P.T. with Lex at Physical Therapy Associates; I needed help with my walking and balance as I journey with Parkinson's.

A lot of the exercises seem simple to others, but they helped me so much - even my posture was better. I feel more confident in my walking and I want to thank Lex!
