Brian and the other PT's at Core are amazing! They helped me so much in strengthening my core and reducing the pain in my lower back. Sometimes going to do physical therapy is a chore and dreaded... not at Core! I enjoyed going to Core, seeing my friends there and working hard to get better. They gave me the tools I needed to continue my physical therapy at home after my stay with them. Honestly, I developed friendships with the staff there and will go back to see them and just tell them "thank you." HIGHLY recommended

What a fabulous place to go if you need Physical Therapy!! From the time you walk in and meet JoAnne or Rose at the front desk , to working with any of the Physical Therapists at Core, you feel like you are with family. Everyone makes you feel so comfortable and all of the therapists are 100% professional. I have had great success, and feel much better when I leave my therapy.

Brian was great! He knew the exercises that I needed for my rotator cuff rehab. Brian was able to alter them to accommodate my limitations. I would definitely recommend everyone to go there!

Brian was my main therapist over three months of rehab on my knee. When I started therapy, I could not walk off a 4" step and by the time I was done I was able to ascend and descend three flights of stairs with no pain. He and his outstanding staff use a very measured approach to their rehab process. Can't recommend highly enough!

There are not enough words of praise that l can give to Core Physical Therapy!!! They worked with me for over a year to get my arm back to where it needed to be after enduring two surgeries from an on the job injury. Everyone there treats you like family and the best part is that when you are done, they still want you to come back and check in so they can see you! They really do become a part of your family! Thank you all so much for greeting me every day with a smile, constant words of encouragement and pushing me to do my absolute best! You guys ROCK!! "EYE OF THE TIGER"
