“Great experience! It was my first time doing PT and I was a little nervous going in. He was super informative, had models to clearly explain everything, and was super friendly. He was also very educated in hEDS, which I don’t find often, so it was great to have a provider who was already informed and able to take that into account. I’m actually looking forward to my next appointment and learning more going forward.”

I’ve never seen a Physical Therapist before so I had no expectations going in. Alex was so thorough and understanding, and I left with a better understanding of my body and a plan to correct it.
Verified patient
Alex helped provide such comfort and compassionate care and understanding during my consultation. He and his team members listen well and do a great job at explaining, as well as, asking the right questions every step of the way. I look forward to working more with them.
