 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jess was able to get rid of my vertigo in one session, which is amazing! She also helped me with my balance problems from having a slight concussion from a fall on the tennis court. After working with Jess for a few sessions, I'm able to go back to playing tennis again!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was there many years ago. I still think of that place who helped me with my pains. They worked together with me and taught me so much. They were kind sympathetic, professional and understanding. I still do the exercises they thought me after more than 10 years.  I am so grateful, sometimes my pain comes back and I do the exercises they thought me and the pain goes away. I definitely will recommend them. I have been to a few physical therapy places in this area and this place is by far the best. I definitely recommend you try it out and see if it works for you.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They are very knowledgeable and took great care of me after my second foot surgery. They listened and responded to every questioned and are very nice. During my appointments, I was the only patient being attended to by my therapist. Drove the extra miles to La Plata and will do it again if i ever need physical therapy.
