“Cory was very personable and knowledgeable. I have been in physical therapy many times , and Cory was the most hands-on and quickly effective PT I have had. I left his office without the pain that has been present almost 7 months despite a round of physical therapy in November 2024 - January 2025. I highly recommend Cory Peterson. ”

Cory personally saw me for the first few times, his work included what I’d call deep massage on very tight muscles, and some cupping and needling, besides exercises. Started to feel better almost immediately, he’s an expert. Nice guy, too :-). He’s the owner, this is a very well-run, attentive, friendly place. Wish I could keep going forever, but I’m better!

Keith and Cory were very thorough with assessing my injury. They took the time to fully understand what was going on and then explained it to me. They educated me on their process, techniques and therapies. I received great care and attention during my appointments and received a detailed, customized home exercise program to help me continue to improve and meet my goals. These PTs are knowledgeable professionals who put helping others recover above all else!

Cory and his team are always amazing! From my hip issues a few years ago, to my recent ankle injury (poor life choices)- I'm fully convinced they're not only super skilled therapists, but magicians as well. After Cory suggested some dry needling and laser therap for pain, I was a bit skeptical.... However, I'm right back to my normal life without a second thought about the ankle I thought I'd for sure snapped in half the day before. I'm forever grateful! Let him and his team get you back to making questionable life choices too!

I have long-standing imbalance in my shoulder and neck that I've seen multiple physical therapists and doctors for without relief. My work demands being at a computer/desk for 12+ hours a day and I've tried every ergonomic setup you can think of. Every time Cory works with me we see results in reducing my pain and improving my quality of life. He is incredibly patient, listens thoroughly to my concerns and keeps a very positive outlook for treating this stubborn issue. I trust his expertise and appreciate how his practice keeps up-to-date with the latest technologies and methodologies. On top of all that, the staff that work at Outcomes Therapy are also very kind and friendly (which you don't always see in healthcare). It's been a godsend receiving treatment from Cory because chronic pain is miserable and frustrating, especially when it's exacerbated by the work you do daily!

Wow - what a difference! Was working out today and heard a pop and felt some immediate pain. Called up Outcomes Therapy and they were able to fit me in that day. My therapist, Cory, was extremely professional - pinpointing where the pain was coming from with several tests. He used some chiropractic maneuvers to release some tension and then electro-needling to get deep into the muscle. I'm walking out now feeling much, much better! Im so glad I came in instead of just powering through as I've done in the past. 10 out of 10 would recommend!

One of the hazards of living an interesting and fun life is you pick up interesting but not-so-fun injuries. Me? I've had two back surgeries, two knee surgeries, and a shoulder surgery. I've had A LOT of physical therapy over the years, so trust me when I say that my experience at Outcomes (after my shoulder surger and to address knee and back pain) has been TOP NOTCH and LIFE CHANGING. Why? It's not just the great physical therapists and their genuine care for patients' wellbeing, it's the philosophy that trickles down from Cory at the top to Keith and the whole team... that patients can experience HEALING and dramatically improved QUALITY OF LIFE by incorporating physiological treatment into the physical therapy environment. For me, focusing on correcting movement patterns and addressing strength and flexibility deficiencies has given me back, at age 44, the ability to ramp back up to intense exercise without the aches and pains that had been holding me back even after my surgeries. That's because surgeries fix structural problems, but surgeons get in, get out, and get on to the next surgical patient without giving their patients the tools an instruction manual to take care of that surgically repaired joint and give themselves the best chances to THRIVE again. No... if you want that precious information and hands-on care, you need people like the staff at Outcomes. Cory expertly coached me back to full activity after my shoulder surgery, and now that one is my better shoulder! (Shout out to Dr. Kilbride, my surgeon, as well.) Keith has been excellent and instrumental in helping me erase the knee pain that had me dreading going up the stairs. Now I'M BACK to running up the stairs, doing high intensity interval training, including running which had been totally off the table for my knee. Today I ran for nearly half an hour with no knee pain, and I even ran 12 MPH at the end of my workout for the first time in YEARS!

I was referred to Outcomes Therapy after my hip surgery. Both Cory and Adrianne we're professional, thorough and yet casual making home appointments very comfortable. They did press me to do my exercises, but were very mindful to strengthen but not stress my surgery recovery. They were always available to me when I had questions, even nights and weekends. I highly recommend Outcomes and will use them prior to my knee surgery to get flexible pre surgery.

I received amazing care from Outcomes PT. I had an injury from running and Cory got me back to running quickly. He and his team are so kind and patient not to mention fun! He's extremely knowledgeable as I have gone to others that didn't really help me very much. Here, they knew what to do and I'm very grateful!!

I had some severe back pain from long hours working as a barber that persisted for several months. After visiting a pain management doctor that said I was going to need surgery due to a disc herniation I got a second opinion from Outcomes Therapy. After only a few treatments I was in almost complete relief and canceled my surgery. I've decided to continue and work on some other problems I've put off for too long like knee pain and neck pain. I haven't felt this good since my 20's! Highly recommend these guys!!!

I don't do google reviews but I had to do this one. I am a paramedic and I have been in the field for 7 Years. If you are not aware of what that entails it means I lift very heavy people in some very inconvenient places. As well as equipment like stretchers, monitors, and oxygen on the daily. My ability to move around and have full mobility and strength is vital to my job. For the last 4 days every time I took a breath it felt like I was being stabbed in my left shoulder blade. The pain radiated (moved) down my arm and literally took my breath away. Any time I tried to move my left arm the same pain would occur. If I tried to look to the left or look down, severe pain. I thought I had a pinched nerve from a patient I had lifted a few days prior but the pain just got worse and worse till I was in tears every twenty minutes it was getting hard to eat and swallow. I tried everything from salt baths to ibuprofen/Tylenol rotations to heating pads, ice packs, massage guns and an actual massage (which I could only handle about 10 minutes of). Nothing worked. So I called Dr. Peterson. He told me to come in right away. This man saved me! He spent quality time doing a full assessment of my upper back utilizing different movements to figure where the pain started and ended. He asked me detailed assessment questions on what I was feeling. I have had Encounters with Physical therapists in the past but I have never been treated with such patience, and kindness as well as the kind of detail oriented questions I was asked. By the end of appointment he diagnosed me with a rib subluxation aka a dislocated rib which he put back in place via an adjustment. he also did laser treatment on the area to assist in the soreness. He is not just extremely knowledgeable but he is patient, kind and thorough. I could have cried in front of this doctor from the relief I felt but I couldn't stop smiling or taking deep breaths in. I could finally move my left side and breath without the pain. I would 100% 10 out 10 recommend him to my patients and my friends and I absolutely intend on doing just
