"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."
