A huge thanks to Ariel who helped me through some muscle tightness in a few different places that was preventing me from sleeping! She put together a program that I am still using even tho I’m not going to PT anymore. Also the dry needling was so helpful in getting my muscles to relax and repair. I appreciate that you are the only client during your appointment and also that they will work with you on reschedules! Thanks again Dynamic PT!
Matt Nicolai
I came here for rehab after having ACL reconstruction surgery and had a great experience! I worked with Kevin who was always friendly, patient during the ups and downs of the rehab process, knew when to push me further, and now I’m able to start doing the things I love again. The whole staff is excellent from the front desk to the other trainers, it’s a welcoming place to be. If you’re looking for individual attention, not crowded, and a place to get healed come here!
