Dr. James is my saving grace! I've experienced years of periodic pain in my S.I. joint. I put off treating it for years until it worsened. I tried massage therapy and chiro adjustments, but it didn't help. A friend recommended that I went to Prolete for physical therapy and I was assigned to Dr. James. Dr. James was methodical and found solutions for my pain. He's extremely professional and kind. I felt better after each session and was educated on what was causing my pain. He's fantastic and directly improved my quality of life. I no longer having to stop my workouts due to piercing pain because

It's good Prolete is no longer doing lymphedema because they are awful at it and I know how awful they were because of the great results my mom got from a new person my mom is currently seeing at Milford Vascular, Jen, she is phenomenal... my mom's arm is half the size it was, it's almost the size of her normal arm in LESS than a month's time...astounding results... Why was I wasting all that time taking my mom to Prolete?
Prolete may be good at others things but NOT lymphedema. My mom saw Keith, Kaitlyn who my mom felt her hands weren't strong enough, and two others

I loved my treatment at Prolete Physical Therapy, I would like to thank Sophia in particular for the attention and care she had with me. She is very professional. I really recommend this place. They are very helpful and clear regarding the prices. I've never had physical therapy before, but now that I've moved in I've started to know other places and I can say for sure that Prolete are the best I've ever seen. Thank you!

I cant tell you how impressed I was by your staff and physical therapists in 2 months I am back on my feet feeling the best I ever felt in 2 years . I have been to several physical therapy facilities, and did not achieve my goals after months of care. The care I got at Prolete was far superior to any were else. I would highly recommend Prolete to anyone that needs physical therapy
thank you

I could not speak more highly of Prolete Physical Therapy. My husband and I have both been to Prolete for various needs over the past several years and each time, we are so extremely happy with and appreciative of the care we receive. My most recent experience with Prolete was for pregnancy and postpartum care and rehabilitation. Dr. Sophia was outstanding throughout this process and went above and beyond to support me. Her expertise and passion for body mechanics and functional movement shines through in everything she does. She was both encouraging and motivating and her genuine concern and interest

My time with Prolete has proved to be the best decision I could of ever made for my torn meniscus. No surgery. The time and detailed therapy provided by their well educated staff made it possible. Prolete's courteous front desk, skilled physical therapists and the friendly PTA's is the team you want for a pain-free life. Thank you everyone.

I am a patient of 5 months. I was living with an issue that many doctors and other therapists failed to solve over 8 years, that changed when I started going to Prolete. This was this first practice that took their time to understand my issue, teach me about the issue and work to begin to resolve the issue. I never feel unwelcome, the staff are friendly, intelligent and personable. I am so thankful for them. This practice is deserving of more than 5 stars.

My experience with Keith Steigbigel was absolutely terrible. To say he injured me is an understatement. His incompetence has given me 6 months, (so far), of incredible hip pain! His incompetence has severely impacted my ability to make a living, to enjoy the activities I was enjoying just days before I met him, and to just be comfortable. I am SO SORRY I went to him.
Stay far away from Prolete Physical Therapy!

Prolete Physical Therapy was GREAT! I had a hip problem and Keith, as well as the entire staff, was kind, attentive, well-informed, knowledgeable and experienced..... and EDUCATIONAL, and helped me a great deal. My problem has has greatly decreased, but more importantly I now know how to manage it and have learned some great stretching exercises. I HIGHLY recommend Prolete as the place to go

Dr. Keith and staff are phenomenal. Dr. Keith's incredible attentiveness is only outweighed by his vast knowledge of the mechanics of the human body, clear passion for his work, sense of humor and most important to me therapeutic outcomes. He's helped me rehab a chronic back issue, and keep me in the gym; he is the only person I will trust to do so. I'm 100% sold on dry needling, after one session, nearly two years worth of chronic hamstring pain was gone, in less than 24 hours. He never gives up on finding a solution. He's worth my 30 minute drive to his office. The facility is modern and welcoming
