Services
Intown PT is a physical therapy practice established in 2013 to serve patients of metro Atlanta. It was started by Dr. Ingid Anderson and has grown to include a full staff of professional physical therapists with diverse and expert training in diagnosing and treating common conditions that can be often be mitigated without invasive surgery or addicting narcotics.
From the initial visit, we strive to understand your perspective through a thorough interview and evaluation. We want to fully understand not just your diagnosis, but YOU as a person, and what your pain or dysfunction means to your ability to be present in your world. In conjunction with a patient's treatment, physical therapists provide educational information to help you understand how to help yourself.
As orthopedic physical therapists, we relieve pain by treating the underlying causes, not just the aching body part. Pain has many causes and comes in many forms - sore knees and backs, hips and necks, difficulty walking, stiff elbows, headaches, and many more. PTs can relieve most musculoskeletal pain more effectively than other healthcare providers.

It always amazes me how much better I feel after treatment by Ingrid and Jennifer. I have seen them for several problems over the years, including shoulder, calf, neck and foot pain. Each time, in addition to the office treatments, they have suggested things I can do at home to prevent the pain from returning. They are both very knowledgeable and genuinely compassionate.

I have been successfully treated over the last few years by both Ingrid and Jennifer for a variety of pain problems, and they have both been very thorough, patient, and compassionate. They always go the extra mile in patient education as well and make sure that you know how to do your exercises and manage your symptoms between appointments.

I can't recommend these folks enough. They're like family to me at this point. Jennifer helped with the before, during, and after of training for my first half marathon, and then two more after that. Any time I've had something feel off in my body (back pain, chest muscle tweak, sore quads, hips, you name it), Jennifer and Ingrid have helped me heal and stay active along the way whenever possible. They are good listeners, sharp practitioners, thoughtful, and wonderful to work with.

I can't say enough good things about this practice and specifically my work with Jennifer Freeman. I have some age-related rotator cuff problems that resulted in shoulder pain. I have been very pleased at the improvement I have experienced from working with Jennifer. Her approach is evidence-based and practical, and it helps! She's also just a great person to work with - personable, warm, and supportive. Highly recommended!

I can’t say enough good things about Jennifer with Intown Physical Therapy! She is a PT magician. Jennifer has treated me for chronic headaches, shoulder, and back pain. Through a combination of massage, stretching, and dry needling, my chronic (and at times acute) pain is alleviated completely. She perfectly balances an aggressive root-cause focused approach that is also compassionate, human-centered, and holistic. That combination solves the problem, reduces the number of required visits (as opposed to a more drawn out treatment course), while also guiding me through the experience in a very

I started going to Intown Physical Therapy after they helped in my husband’s quick recovery. I get Dry Needling with Jennifer - she is fantastic! After just a few treatments - it’s helped with my headaches & jaw pain tremendously. And they send you home with helpful tips, stretches, and exercises so you get the most out is your treatment!

The Intown PT Team have been there for me for my numerous injuries over my years of always trying out new things. It's the level of in depth knowledge that makes me return when I need help. I like to understand the root cause of a problem, the mechanics of the issue, and how the steps to recovery will work. I get all of that from Ingrid and her team. Big Fan. Thanks y'all!

I have gone to Intown PT over the years for various issues, including chronic back pain, post-op therapy for hip replacement, and range of motion issues on my hand after a bad fall from bicycle. Ingrid and her staff are very professional and extremely good at what they do. I also like the fact that you don't have to go through layers of bureaucratic nonsense that many big box practices put you through in order to speak with someone or to get a call back DIRECTLY from the doctor (Ingrid). I find they take a holistic approach when treating me. They go beyond the "one size fits all' and listen to

Five stars for Intown Physical Therapy. Ingrid and the staff have fantastic bedside manner. They help get to the root of the issue, make sure you are comfortable during treatment, and ensure you leave with a plan in place. I trust Dr. Anderson's opinions, care, and treatment and highly recommend this practice.

After 2yrs of pain and nearly giving up on ever being able to use my right (dominant) arm again to pickup heavy things (severe elbow pain), my wife suggested I try a physical therapist... And I'm glad I did.
I tried my primary care physician and they said, "well, you're getting older, try resting it (after 2 months of rest). And btw, cut back on the Advil" and then charged me $250+.
Ingrid @intown was so warm and easy to talk to. After the first visit I was already feeling better. Not 100% but noticeably better. Dry needling is a weird therapy, but I'm now a believer

I cannot say enough good things about Intown PT. Ingrid is a magician. When I injured my shoulder, I thought I could fix it with no issues. I stretched, did sauna, cryo, reiki massage, sports massage, even energy healing. I went to Ingrid 2 hours ago and already feel 90% better. I don't understand how someone can be so good at their job.

Both Ingrid and Jennifer are great. They used dry needling and other techniques to cure my back pain. I had gone to chiropractors and physical therapy for years with limited relief. But after a few sessions with them, my back stopped hurting for the first time in many years. I still have a sensitive back but nothing like before seeing them. One more thing, the receptionist, Katy is very efficient and easy to work with.

I went to see Ingrid after having back and sciatic pain that would not go away. I was having trouble even getting in and out of my car. She performed a thorough intake and and was very interested in helping to find the right treatment for my issue. She did a needling technique I had never tried before - and the next day, the pain was gone! After one more follow up visit and some exercises to do at home, I'm doing much better. She is very kind and attentive and made me feel immediately at ease. Would highly recommend!!

I first visited Intown Physical Therapy to address a long-time shoulder issue exacerbated by a recent injury. Ingrid was extremely thorough in her review of my range of motion, pain points, strength issues, etc. and in a matter of weeks was able to get my shoulder not only functional again, but back in the gym with targeted exercised to rehab and restrengthen - and no surgery! Since then I've been back several times with different issues (knee, hip) and am experiencing the same results.

After reading all of Dr. Anderson's amazing reviews, I was very hopeful that she could help me. She was not covered by my insurance, but I really needed someone who would take the time to understand what was going on with my uncommon ailment.
At my first appointment, I made it clear to Dr. Anderson that I was not really looking for treatment as I was waiting on surgery to correct my problem. I wanted suggestions for an exercise program I could do with my significant physical limitations until my surgery. She said she could provide that and also suggested a treatment option. I advised Dr

I was suffering from upper back pain between and around my shoulders that was causing me to pop Advil and Tylenol throughout the day like snacks and that was impacting my ability to concentrate. I saw Dr. Anderson and she did an amazing job treating me for the pain. By the time, I left that first visit my pain had dramatically improved, and it was completely gone by the time of our second visit a few days later.

Dr. Anderson is an outstanding physical therapist. She quickly assessed my problem and had me back on my feet ( or using my knee, to be exact) in no time. Her office is pleasant, friendly and has easy access. Her wealth of knowledge and understanding of the body is clear to see.
If you are hurting, go to see her!

Physical Therapy is a tricky one for me. I think I'm like most people when I say, all I want is fast results and very little homework. Dr. Anderson understood this all too well, and did a fantastic job at satisfying this while also providing me with some real pain relief.
