“JoAnn was really nice, explained my injury to me better than my orthopedist did, and was very gentle with the exercises, and clear in the follow ups.”

“Joanne is pretty awesome. She can come up with an exercise to deal with not just the area I injured but surrounding muscles as well. You know she cares about your healing, doesn't call you out when you should be exercising more and is gentle and kind. Everyone who goes to CityPT love all the therapists there. I just happen to be seeing Joanne more due to schedule but really happy to be here. I highly recommend Joanne for all of your PT needs. ”

I was greeted by Anthea who was welcoming and warm. JoAnn was wonderful. She was thorough with her evaluation, answered all my questions thoughtfully, and provided numerous exercises while offering reassurance about my injury.

Great experience! I would recommend JoAnn to anyone who needs PT. I feel taken care of when I'm there and I didn't feel rushed.

I was a patient at CityPT about eight years ago with a torn meniscus and they helped get me back on my feet. Years later, I've returned with another torn meniscus (same knee, different spot).
JoAnn and the staff here are friendly, amazing and helpful and I would highly recommend anyone to their various locations.

JoAnn was very friendly and even kind, but so was the staff at the office. Everyone was efficient and competent. I had a great experience. I plan on going back!

I absolutely love Joanne & the team at City PT. I was hardly able to walk without being in pain due to plantar fascitis & in just a couple weeks of seeing Joanne, I was able to feel/notice such a huge improvement. I can't thank her enough! Joanne's care, patience, technique & approach to therapy has made healing from my injury possible- and I know this sentiment is shared among the patients who see her.
