“Great experience, helpful and knowledgeable for my injury and a good plan to manage it. Would recommend!”
Initials hiddenLess than 3 months ago
“Doctor Palmer was friendly, professional and knowledgable. He is personable, our conversation flowed easily and he spoke using terms any patient should easily understand. His questions were intelligent, directly related to my injury and what I wanted to ultimately attain through physical therapy. He made recommendations that could assist in recovery and healing time. He provided information for exercises I could do at home and made the entire process and first visit smooth and easy. The facility is large, uncluttered, clean and has plenty of parking. If you need a qualified professional, I highly recommend Doctor Evan Palmer at Sports Physical Therapy!”

I am happy I chose to book here! They were great about walking me through the process and specifically why we are doing certain movements and exercises. Overall, well-informed and kind care!

I came to the clinic as a new patient and was lucky enough to work with Evan.
Evan was very knowledgeable about my condition and was so easy to work with. Evan knew exactly what exercises to start me on. He made sure I was comfortable doing the routines at home. When I came for my appointments Evan and I discussed my progress and he never made me feel rushed. If you find you need PT I would highly recommend Evan.

Would highly recommend working with Evan! He was a fantastic PT that took the time to explain everything and really tailored our treatments to get me back to where I wanted to be.

Evan was amazing at dealing with my complaining, whining and avoidance with humor. I fractured my arm in 5 places and I am now fully functional and able to wake up in the morning and not have the ache in my arm as the first thing I think about upon waking. Evan was always patient and professional and without his excellent skill I fear I would not have healed in the way I have. His routines vary greatly week to week and he has an amazing amount if patience.

Evan always make each session fun and interactive. He is very knowledgeable and explains things in a way that you'll understand. He had me get back to lifting weights and other recreational activities after my ACL surgery.

Evan was thorough, patient, and I truly felt like he wanted to get me to my strongest self. I also appreciated that I was involved in my own treatment plan so I never walked in or out feeling left in the dark. Would highly recommend!

I have found that following Dr. Palmer‘s targeted advice for specific and general rehabilitation has been incredibly effective. Based on his advice, I have made changes to my posture, and to how I exercise and lift weights. These changes help with relief of chronic back pain and sciatica caused by past injuries. It is very important to me to be able to mountain bike and snowboard regularly, and his advice helps me maintain that lifestyle.

Visit was on time, easy to schedule. Evan was a good listener about my specific problem. We came up with effective and direct plan to get me back to the activities that I enjoy.
I would highly recommend him to my friends.
