Dr. Caitlin Sapp is phenomenal. The care is personal, professional and works!!! Doctor is beyond accommodating when it comes to scheduling, answering your questions and replying to emails. I have an extended list of lower back, Sciatic and bulging disc issues from years of abuse to include, contact sports, combative sports, heavy weightlifting and work related problems. The treatment I received is no less then amazing. I definitely presented Doctor with a workload and she crushed it ! As part of my treatment and rehabilitation I presented Doctor with two goals. Not only did Doctor help me achieve

Super pleased with my experience with Caitlin! I had a tough achilles injury that I was struggling to come back from. Caitlin got me a on a schedule that helped me come back without risking injury. I have 8 weeks until I am racing in Kona and my achilles feels great. Highly recommended, especially for athletes trying to recover from injury.

Undeniably the best physical therapist I have worked with! Caitlin digs into the root of your problem and takes a holistic approach when treating you. She actually listens, asks follow-up questions, and takes the time to explain things in a way that is super easy to understand. Also, talk about PASSIONATE. I cant tell you how much of a difference it makes to work with someone who genuinely enjoys their work. After multiple knee surgeries and working with a number of different PTs over the last 3 years, I can honestly say that going to Caitlin was one of the best decisions Ive made. I

When I walked into the doors of Crew Racing and Rehab I was met with tremendous support, deep listening and a very knowledgeable PT. Caitlin creates an environment with her clients to truly meet them and holds an encouraging space to heal and grow. If you have been in a traditional PT setting it can sometimes feel very mechanical, and like you are a number, but at Crew Racing and Rehab, YOU matter and that shows in the care that you receive. I can't sing enough praises about Caitlin! She's an excellent member of my wellness team!!
