Testimonials

“I always felt in the past Physical Therapy was a waste of my time as well as the therapist-this was very different. I am now almost pain free and am no longer considering surgery! Many thanks.”
Richard Beich
“I feel that Karen was excellent. I am sure that the other physical therapists are excellent also. Thank you. God Bless.”
Stella Anderson

“I was well satisfied with Matt Herbst. He was very polite and knows what to do. I was in therapy at the hospital but did not help me. Now I can walk a lot better since he gave me treatments. This is what it’s all about. You have a good man for the job.” -Donald Parks
“I’ve been to physical therapy before and have been very satisfied, but I want you to know that I have utmost confidence and respect for Mat Herbst. He identified that my hip was not quite in the right place and after working on that, the pain that brought me to you disappeared. I’m continuing with the exercises and feel much better.”
Don Spence

“It was great to have 2 different therapists. Both Matt Herbst & Matt Gibbons have strengths that greatly benefited me. Matt Gibbons pushed me physically (I so needed), Matt Herbst explained why to do certain things and clarified how. I never realized how much the emotional & mental parts of the body were affected by the physical. Overall great balance between the two therapists. Thanks!”

Dan Rux
“I very much appreciate the “whole person” approach to physical therapy healing, especially with an emphasis on the spiritual aspect of recovery. I liked seeing many of the room/wall decorations with positive statements and/or scriptural quotes. Your staff is excellent in all aspects of care- they are attentive, empathetic, but direct and to the point when is comes to what is best for dealing with the injury/illness. Additionally, everyone is polite and has a sense of humor, whether they are your assigned therapist or not. The office staff is always helpful and friendly as well. As a patient, I felt genuinely listened to and cared for. Both my therapists always inquired not only about my health, but also about other issues they knew were of concern for me, like my job and family- and not just to make conversation. This is truly what I think they mean when they refer to “patient care”! I will be happy to continue to make referrals to your office.”
Lou Brady

Grace Barden
“I felt that everyone was friendly, sincere & caring. Matt explained the purpose of the treatments & helped me understand when I would know I was doing my in home therapy correctly. The values exhibited by therapist strengthened my confidence in their skills. The continuing education component of each therapist job encouraged me that they were dedicated to patient care.”
