What Our Clients Say
I would never go anywhere else for PT.
I came to ProPt for preoperative PT. I learned how to strengthen the muscles around my knee before surgery. I came with a torn meniscus and I was in a lot of pain. I could barely walk! I had surgery in January and began post-operative Pt about 2 weeks later. Today, I am back to my yoga practice, hiking, swimming, and walking. I plan to get back to my tennis this fall. Except for a little arthritis I am pain-free. I faithfully do my Pt exercises at home and bought my own rocker board which is great for balance and core strength. Dr. Patt is an excellent PT. He always takes the time to check in with me each time I visit. He has given me lots of helpful tips for keeping fit and strong. His team also provided me with excellent care. The PT techs are always warm and welcoming too. I would never go anywhere else for PT!!
Very informative and genuinely cared about my health and wanted to see me improve at every visit.
I was having pain in my hip and back while running. I came to ProPT and they quickly diagnosed the problem and outlined a plan of attack. Dr. Jill and the staff were unbelievable! Very informative and genuinely cared about my health and wanted to see me improve at every visit. I’m very thankful to have chosen ProPT and I’m excited to run again!
