Client Testimonials

Our best asset is…you guessed it. You! And the greatest way we can speak to our passion for getting you back “on the go” is to let you hear from our current and former patients about their Nephew PT experience. Here you’ll find men and women, young and old who have come to us for treatment and left us feeling far more capable of conquering the world. And we say “world” because they’re not just “feeling a little better” in the physical sense; their spirits are lifted, they’re back on their feet, and they’re confident of the progress they’ve made along the way.  Because they’ve invested in us, and we in them, we’ve worked together to achieve amazing results, overcome obstacles, heal injuries, and attain new goals. Our patients are our greatest endorsement! Check out some of their stories below…

“Being one on one is something I wasn’t use to. Before, I was in a clinic with 4 other patients being treated by the same Physical Therapist at the same time.
