Dynamic physical therapy is superior to any pt or sports medicine doctor I’ve gone to. The specialized exercises are just the beginning. The expertise with dry needling is unparalleled. If you have an area of locked up muscles that will fix the issue unlike any other treatment.

I had an incredible experience at Dynamic Physical Therapy for over 2 years. Matt rehabbed me through two surgeries and Ariel helped me get over some chronic issues I had been struggling with for years. Highly recommend. Would not go anywhere else in Salt Lake.
