After shoulder surgery on a torn rotor cuff, I was told by my Doctor that Physical Therapy would be 80% of my healing and to take this very seriously. With prescription in hand I went locally to. I had a tremendously helpful and deeply supportive experience at Wholistic Physical Therapy, for many months of sessions.
I recommend them to people all the time. I sought them out because Scott is. Scott and his team are the best at what they do and go above and beyond. Over the years I have always had good results from PT however since I started working with Scott, I can say that the impac. This is a note of special thanks to Scott van Niekerk and his team at Wholistic Physical Therapy.

Scott is passionate about helping others improve their health picture, reduce their inflammation and raise their vitality. Myofascial Release (MFR) and Craniosacral Therapy (CST) are gentle forms of stretching and balancing that have a deep, profound effect on the body's deep tissue.
Myofascial Release (MFR) is a mild form of stretching and balancing that has a profound effect on the body's tissues at a deep level. MFR is sometimes very gentle, and because of its gentleness many people wonder how it could possibly work. However, MFR uses a complete range of pressures from "off the body" energy work to gentle pressure, to deep and very deep pressure when it is appropriate.
Juice Plus+ is concentrated whole food nutrition made from fresh, vine ripened produce, grown and minimally processed specifically for maximum nutritional content. The entire food is washed and pulverized -skin, stems and all- the water is removed and the powders are then combined and put in capsules, for convenience and to protect the nutrients from oxygen.
Based upon the results of the physical therapy evaluation, appropriate and specific home exercises are prescribed and diagrams provided when applicable. This may involve stretches, strengthening and stability exercises. Education is also a vital component and may include issues such as posture, correction bio-mechanics and ergonomics.
Gentle and hands-on, CranialSacral Therapy helps the therapist evaluate and enhance the functioning of the craniosacral system-the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect your brain and spinal cord. The role of this system is so important that an imbalance or dysfunction in it can cause sensory, motor and neurological disabilities.

I've been Scott van Niekerk's patient for twenty years. No matter what my issue is, I can count on his knowledge and ability to help me heal. I've been able to avoid surgeries and to even get rid of scars on my face as a result of a bike accident. He has golden hands. The team working at Wholistic Physical Therapy is top notch. Highly recommended!!!!

This initial visit worked wonders for me! I am suffering from lower back pain due to strain and stress from moving to a new house, pain which keeps me from moving easily, sleeping well, and, honestly, enjoying life. In one one-hour visit, Scott made me feel better than I have in weeks! I walked out in less pain, able to keep my back straighter, and with a smile back on my face. I highly recommend Wholistic!

Been treated by many different types of physical therapists at many, varied styles of PT providers over the yrs & given the complexities involved w my situation, can say there's really none better than Wholistic PT! Whether rehabbing an injury/disability, looking to improve overall health, trying to lose some weight, or simply treat yourself better in mind & body, few providers carry the combo of skills & knowledge found here, so provided your commitment is equal to theirs, the results speak for themselves- they won't disappoint! Having been treated at the top rated physical/occupational therapy

Very different type of PT but really helpful. He makes be feel very informed and involved in my own healthcare and physical therapy. He slowly eases you in and gives helpful hints along the journey. His hands are magic. If I had to give one drawback, it would be that he takes only Medicare but no other insurances. Sometime you just have to accept the bad with the good; because he helps to make a strong foundation and journey to wellness for the whole body. Thank you Scott. I'm a fan.

My experience over the last year at WPT has truly been exceptional. It's simply excellence from the cordial, kind and caring staff to the best caliber possible physical therapy. You are treated as part of the family and every detail matters. The therapists are quickly tuned in to your needs, ways to accomplish meaningful results and then implementing a success plan. I can't praise the entire staff more highly. They're simply the best.
