I am a distance runner and started having problems with my back. An MRI revealed a bulging disc in the L4 L5 region. My orthopedic surgeon recommend that I start Physical Therapy. The first place I went to didn't impress me at all. The specialist at that place interviewed me and handed me off to "trainers" who told me what to do and then just chatted with their friends rather than watch to see I did the exercises correctly. I wasn't satisfied but wasn't sure what to expect since I had never been to a PT before. I then went to Merk PT and couldn't be happier. I worked with "Skip" who supervised

I was referred by my orthopedic to help recover from knee replacement surgery. Hiral was my therapist and she designed a program that got me to my goals in good order. The pace was aggressive and Hiral was very encouraging. I'll be going through this again in two months and I'll be going back and hoping to have Hiral again.

I'd give more than five stars if I could. I've used therapists here for many years, after seeing orthopedists across the hall. They're unfailingly pleasant, professional, competent, helpful, considerate, etc. It's amazing the equipment and exercises that are customized for various aches and pains. I've had work on back, shoulder, neck, etc. Results are always obvious after a course of treatment -- less or no pain, increased range of motion, increased strength -- everything measured before/after a course of treatment has improved. I mostly see therapist Skib; he's great. Receptionist Brenda is also

Merk did a wonderful job on my lower back. I had back pain intermittently for years. My back would be pain free for about two months then I would have back pain for about six days. This was a repeating cycle. During those years I mentioned my pain to two doctors, but all they did was provide pain and other kinds of pills. I mentioned it to a third doctor in November 2017. I was seeing that doctor about a foot problem and just by luck I had back pain that day. I mentioned my back pain to him. He discussed my back pain with me for a few minutes then checked out my back. After that he said

Mrs.Merkel took exceptional care of me when I injured myself while pregnant. She was extremely knowledgeable on how to rehab my injury to my comfort all the way thru my 9month of pregnancy! I looked forward to seeing her every appointment because I left feeling 10x better. I highly recommend Jenn for any physical therapy, I have also seen her for my sports related injuries as well. She's truly wonderful as is everyone in the office.

Jenn was fabulous. She spent the time each session to find out how I responded to her last session, adjusted intensity, length, and the mix of exercises to make sure each session was worth the time and money. It was very effective at fixing my problems and I will definitely come back when I hurt myself again.

I am extremely thankful for such an amazing physical therapy group. Jennifer has been a god send during a recent injury and over the past years when I have had any sports related injuries. Currently I am pregnant and she has been great working to rehab and give me exercises at home to help my body feel better!

Merk Physical Therapy is an incredible practice with dedication professionals that spend the entire hour with you, hands on. The staff takes the time to listen and fully understand what's going on with your body before prescribing treatment strategies. The therapists are well qualified, skilled practitioners who care about their patients. I wouldn't go anywhere else now that I had the opportunity to be treated at Merk!
