Everyone there is great: the office staff, the PT Assistants, and the PT I’ve worked with for several years, Jennifer Kearsley. Jennifer has seen me through 2 hip replacements with kindness, amazing information, insight, and encouragement. I’m not sorry that I can’t replace another hip but I’m sorry I won’t see them each week!

The previous reviews are spot on. Several months ago I pinched a nerve branched from my right sciatica. High level of pain (an eleven!) and could barely hobble with a walker. My doctor prescribed medication to help with acute pain but adamantly reinforced that physical therapy was needed.

The St Johns Therapeutic Associates Physical Therapy location was exactly what the doctor ordered. Lisa efficiently and kindly processed the paperwork and setup my schedule. PT Doctors Matt and Jennifer, along with their caring support team, worked with me to gradually recover full, non-painful movement - then taught me core strength exercises to help prevent injuries in the future.

Not being one to exercise it was a life changing event for my physical well-being, which would not have been possible without their attitude and support. I diligently followed my routine and continue to this day. I'm beyond grateful. Thanks for having my back (so to speak! 😉
