Report
I had been having consistent lower back pain and sometimes extreme pain in my hip. I was referred to Dr. Ashley Christianson, who took the time to listen to me and decide how to approach it. She spent many weeks working on my back including massage therapy and strength exercises. I am feeling so much better. Thank you Dr. Christianson!

....I highly recommend Healing Arts Physical Therapy. Margaret was my therapist and her knowledge, attitude, and approach were very much appreciated. They were especially helpful during the Covid crisis as they allowed me to tele-visit with them so I could stay at home while learning what stretches I needed to do. Big thumbs up!
