I am a new patient and couldn't be happier with the care and attention I have been given. I'm making progress so it's encouraging to say the least. The entire staff is top notch and would highly recommend them to anyone.Joanne

I looked forward to each of my visits at "Movement for Life" Physical Therapy. The Therapists; Angelica, Marcie, Nyxie & staff were so great to work with, always positive, complementary, and helpful in fully explaining each treatment they had me do. I was amazed how some of the treatments completely alleviated some of the pain I was having in just a few minutes time. Thank you all for making it such a positive and enjoyable experience for me, and especially for those final ice pack treatments! I promise to continue doing all the exercises, that you taught me, each day,and I'm looking forward to the day that I can again play Pickleball! You are all amazing and I will definitely spread the good word about "Movement for Life"!!Jan

From the moment I entered, the staff was friendly, courteous, and attentive. Mayra, Lorea, Nyxie, Angelica, Kristi, and Marcie were all top notch. No one wants to do physical therapy as it is indicative of a problem. However, the caring, careful guidance of this staff made the trips easy. A few laughs along the way were very welcome. Pushing me enough to make progress while listening intently to how I was doing was key. From the warm up to the ice down, each member of the staff was incredibly kind and knowledgeable. I can't express how appreciative I am of the thoughtful care I received and would certainly recommend this team to anyone! Thank you all for helping me along the path of recovery.David

The staff is very caring. The attention to personal need, pain and safety are excellent. Amanda T realized a potential condition during my intake that required two MRI’s and three doctors to confirm. I recommend this office for one time or continuing physical therapy.Ervyn
