Professional and friendly staff that challenged me when needed. Explored many different exercise options to not only to rehab my ruptured achilles tendon but strengthen my ankles and hips. I am very pleased with my experience.

Everyone at Adams Physical Therapy was wonderful! It was easy to find appointments to fit our schedule. The staff was very kind and very knowledgeable and they all did a great job helping my son gain the strength and agility he needed to get back on the soccer field and basketball court. I would highly recommend Adams PT!

There is no need to go out of town if you need physical therapy. You have the best therapist right here in town at "Adams Physical Therapy" to handle any kind of therapy you may need. May wife and I have both needed physical therapy a couple times over the past few years and wouldn't think of going anywhere else. The whole staff is fantastic.

I have had treatment at APT several times over the years. Lori is very attentive, sympathetic and thorough. She always has good advice about follow-up exercises and, in my latest course of treatment, footwear. I would recommend choosing APT without any hesitation.

This was my first experience at APT and I couldnt be more pleased with the care I received. The staff are awesome. I felt very welcome from checked in to discharge. The therapist were very knowledgeable and caring and really listened to my concerns.
Hopefully, I wont need any additional PT, but if I do, this is the office that I would go to. Thanks to all for the excellent care.

After our son's shoulder surgery we were very lucky to find Adams Physical Therapy. Lori made him feel comfortable and at home and he progressed beautifully with her assistance and wisdom. We couldn't have chosen a better place for our son's recovery. THANK YOU!! I highly recommend them!!!!
