Im so grateful I called Evolve Physical Therapy! Ive made amazing progress in my recovery thanks to JP aka Josh Pate. He developed a plan to help me regain my strength and mobility. I had so much back pain when I started 2 months ago and its so much better! I especially love how he adds my exercises to the MedBridge app. I can login each day and it runs me through my PT routine and keeps track of the time allotted to each. I dont have to remember each exercise or how many sets. The entire staff at Evolve have been warm and welcoming. I highly recommend Evolve.

I wholeheartedly recommend Josh JP Pate as a physical therapist at Evolve. He was able to quickly drill down to the root issue, develop a comprehensive plan of attack, and execute it. He was attuned to my specific needs as an occupational athlete and customized care to me. Would absolutely return.

I came to Evolve Physical therapy after suffering for 10 years with vertigo and neck issues. The front desk girls are amazing and scheduling was a breeze. Josh Guyer diagnosed and treated the vertigo in the first visit. He knew exactly what was happening and how to fix it. His knowledge and experience with vertigo made me feel very comfortable from the beginning. I felt a plan was designed specifically for me and for my specific concerns and issues. I started seeing improvement in neck pain and mobility within just a few visits. The peace of mind I have received from Josh is priceless and the improvement

EVOLVE PT in Sherwood is a truly special place with a great atmosphere. Alexis was very patient while I asked many questions to determine if EVOLVE PT would be a good fit for me.
Alexis' and Brittany's genuine, warm welcome gives one a boost as one walks through the door. Working weekly with Josh Pate "JP" has been incredibly helpful & life changing. He is kind and attentive. He possesses an amazing wealth of knowledge, yet is not overwhelming and is a lot of fun to work with. I truly believe I am improving because of JP's dedication to continually ensuring that I receive just the right guidance

I highly recommend seeing JP at the Sherwood location. I went in there about 6 weeks ago with left knee pain so bad I wasnt able to walk correctly. I thought I was going to need another knee surgery. On the first visit I was so impressed with his knowledge of anatomy and how quickly he diagnosed the problem and started working on a solution. I actually felt some pain relief after the first visit. I seen him 2 times a week and followed his workout treatment plan at home. I walked out of there today significantly stronger with no knee pain full flexibility and the knowledge to keep improving my

I got what I came for at Evolve physical therapy in Sherwood - feeling better than I did coming in and having strategies to take with me!
Josh at Evolve was great and easy to talk to, and taught me comprehensively about how to work on feeling better (for example, more than just the neck is engaged when it comes to neck discomfort).
Thanks!

Evolve PT has been different than any clinic I've been to - in the best way!
JP has taken the time to listen to my concerns and has walked me through what my recovery will look like. I've been navigating shoulder pain for a decade and this is the best help I've gotten. After only 2.5 weeks I've seen so much improvement. I'm finally optimistic about a future without shoulder pain. I didn't think I could ever say that again. I highly recommend JP if you're looking for a comprehensive and thorough path to healing.
