All patients can be screened or evaluated by a physical therapist without a physician referral. However, we always promote a coordinated team approach to treatment planning, working with your physician or specialist to optimize results.

I wrote a review a few years ago, so I felt it was time to send more kudos for Laura, Shelly, Ellen, Kevin and their magnificent office support staff -- Ellie and Roberta. I have to cut back the frequency now that I'm close to the Medicare max - a real bummer. But I must say that every time Laura works on some issue, and mean every time, I walk away feel much relieved, with less pain and far better range of motion. Thanks so much!

Laura, Shelley and the entire Fit Physical team continue to go above and beyond with their care and recovery treatment. I have been seeing them off and on since high school, where they treated my many sports industries. Shelley and Ellen were able to get my patellar tendinitis under control to the point where I was able to competitively train and try out D1 soccer. More recently, I had pain in my back that made it impossible to drive or go through my normal daily routine. Laura was quick to diagnose the issue, and got me back to my active lifestyle after only a few sessions.

I couldn't sing the praises of this PT group any louder if I tried. In a nutshell, the convenience of parking, ease and efficiency of checking in and checking out, wait time (minimal to zero wait time in reception), feeling of being welcomed, camaraderie of the therapists all make me actually WANT to go to physical therapy. Now, who has ever uttered those words in their lifetime?!? However, most importantly, Dorian, my therapist, gave me effective therapy and exercises and cured me of my bursitis in record time for which I am most impressed and grateful.
Keep up the good work, ladies of FIT
