Patients praise

  • professional and expert physical therapists
  • attentive and personalized care where patients work directly with the PT rather than assistants
  • courteous and accommodating office staff
  • effective treatment and recovery outcomes for post-surgical care and pain management
  • welcoming and happy atmosphere

Common complaints

  • a isolated negative experience involving interaction with a physical therapist

"Two separate total knees and two separate episodes of pinched nerve in neck over about 8 years. Consistently excellent care. They don’t hand you off to an assistant just the PT the whole time."

LocalityBiz patient review

"The staff was very courteous and accommodating. Most importantly, Luke provided an excellent level of care to help with my recovery following hip surgery. I just completed my 12 weeks of sessions, but should I need physical therapy in the future, I will definitely return. I give Move Better my highest recommendation."
