  • “Rachel took time to understand what previous ailments I had in order to provide the best therapy for my pulled hamstring. I was back to playing soccer and biking in prompt time and not only that, I have come back stronger and smarter with the exercises and knowledge I learned from PT.”

    Taylor

  • "This was my first experience with physical therapy and it couldn't have been a more positive experience. Rachel provided excellent care on a personal level. Thank you!"

    Carrie

  • “Rachel was amazing. Patient, well informed, compassionate, and she challenged me within the limits of where I was at the various stages of recovery.”

    Allison

  • “Initially I had a bit of doubt that my elbow would ever feel better- but yay- it feels so much better! I'm very encouraged to continue my exercises on my own now to continue my healing. WIN!“

    Rebecca

  • “I really feel like Rachel is an outstanding PT and good match for me as I'm a very active person. She is a great listener and so far has provided good guidance for me in my recovery so I may return to the things I enjoy (rather than telling me to write off pursuing those activities). So far, I've been very impressed with the results and my progress.”

    Richard

  • “My physical therapy experience with Rachel has exceeded my expectations. She is professional and respectful while being warm and empathetic regarding my challenges. I know she's listening, and she's been able to create a treatment regimen that is making a difference in my functionality.”

    MK

  • “Rachel took me from not being able to run without pain to running 6 miles pain-free. The treatment she provided was thorough and comprehensive. I appreciated her consideration for my other physical activities outside of running while addressing my issue.”

    Whitney

  • “After my accident, a friend told me that the physical therapy portion of recovery would be a huge pain, but my experience couldn’t be more different. I’ve loved working with Rachel. It’s been over a year and I’ve come so far in my treatment and recovery. I couldn’t have done it without Rachel, who is knowledgeable, smart and kind. She’s been encouraging and understanding throughout the whole process, and I’ve regained more strength, balance and confidence than I thought I’d be able to.”

    Kelsey

  • “Rachel is the absolute best in the biz! She took the time to explain what was going on with my knee and prescribed exercises that were just the right challenge. I wasn’t able to run without pain for 2 years and now can happily say I’m back running a few days a week. I highly recommend her!”
