Services
If you are a healthy individual, physical therapists educate, consult, and work with clients to improve their health and performance. This is commonly a service not covered by insurance. Doctors of Physical Therapy are licensed to provide physical therapy services and have extensive training in the basic sciences, clinical reasoning, medical screening, motor control, biomechanics, kinesiology, health, and wellness.
This is my way of sharing portions of discussions and questions that I commonly have with patients in physical therapy. I hope you find the information interesting and my opinions helpful. To improve the range of motion of a joint I recommend holding a stretch for 3 sets of 30 seconds 2-3 times a day.
Pain is an unpleasant experience. It can make us sad, angry, frustrated and fearful along with a list of other emotions. Why do we experience pain? We experience pain because it can protect us and help us heal. Unfortunately, it can also persist when our tissues have healed as best they can and no longer need protection.
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of four ligaments that provide stability to the knee. The ACL is located in the center of the knee and helps control forward and rotational movement of the tibia (shin bone). Certain aspects of knee anatomy and family predisposition (not modifiable, genetic)1,7,8,9.
Pain Education- Your therapist may describe how components of the pain experience may relate to your individual situation8,9. A balance between activity and rest as well as identification of stress and stress management may be beneficial10. Passive treatments such as massage, manual therapy, moist heat and electrical stimulation may be used.

Kinesis is, BY FAR, THE BEST physical therapy around! DR CJ EBERLEY is one of he few BOARD CERTIFIED physical therapists in this area. He provides EXPERT one-on-one care for the duration of the session and explains things and discusses any concerns in understandable language! Dr CJ Eberley works as a team member with your doctors and you to ensure the best possible treatment!
I’ve been treated since April after I completely messed up my ankle. He helped me to strengthen my ankle before reconstruction surgery in August, and he has been seeing my treatment through post-op.
I highly, highly recommend

I cannot say enough great things about CJ Eberley and Kinesis Physical Therapy! After being involved in cheerleading, gymnastics, and tumbling for 15 years, I tore my Achilles (complete rupture) last August and had surgery. I was told that I was looking at about 8-12 months before I would really be doing much physical activity again. When I got out of my boot and off crutches, I started physical therapy with CJ in October. I’m not exaggerating when I say that I could hardly walk out of my car and across the facility my first visit. I knew it was going to be a long road of recovery for me based

I severely sprained my left ankle Nov 14, 2016. When I first started PT, I received warm greetings and wonderful attention. C.J. gives you a one on one session with very helpful therapies based on what the individual needs. He is very friendly and knowledgeable. As you progress, your treatment changes and progresses so it doesn't feel like you are getting a generic treatment. He answers all your questions and shows passion for his craft. I would definitely recommend Kinesis to anyone that needs help.

CJ was a pleasure to work with. He was patient, motivating, and extremely knowledgeable. This was my first time having to go to physical therapy, and I doubted that PT would heal me, assuming that my injury needed surgery. CJ was able to heal my shoulder completely, without the need for surgery! I highly recommend Kinesis and CJ!

Over a year ago I was injured at work breaking up a fight between students. My shoulder was wrecked. Over the course of the next 11 months I went to PT for 3 months 3 days per week at another facility, had countless tests done on my shoulder, and saw 8 top orthopedic doctors in the city. I was diagnosed with multidirectional instability and I have tear in the front and back of my shoulder. My options were very limited and the outlook wasn’t great. All I wanted was my life back. I couldn’t even pick up a mug of coffee without it feeling as if my shoulder was being torn off, let alone take care

I was referred to Kinesis by my PCP after experiencing headaches and neck pain on a daily basis for nearly a year. The pain was thought to be musculoskeletal-- the result of a period of inactivity after an injury as well as strain caused by constant computer and desk work at my job. I attended physical therapy for 2 months and was very happy with the result. It turned out to be the only thing that worked for me. My daily headaches and neck pain began to decrease significantly after practicing the exercises and techniques that CJ recommended to alleviate my problems. After the physical therapy,

This physical therapy center has been the absolute best that I have ever been to since my wreck! I was told that I wouldn't be able to fully extend my elbow for two years and within 5 to 6 months I could extend it all the way! C.J. Was the nicest and most patient physical therapist I have been to! I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs treatment! They were so great treating broken bones, I would go back again!

I can't say enough about Kinesis Physical Therapy. CJ Eberly is an extremely professional empathetic physical therapist who exhibits an in depth knowledge of various conditions and the most effective treatments necessary to regain a full range of motion. Having experienced physical therapy two times previously it was refreshing to know that I would be scheduled with the same therapist each session who was familiar with my specific condition. I would highly recommend CJ to anyone in need of physical therapy services. He is simply The Best!

I first went to Kinesis Physical Therapy for a sprained ankle that had been nagging me for upwards of two months. I have had multiple ankle sprains before in my life so I had some knowledge on how the healing process works and how long I should expect to have symptoms. However, I was not improving very much on my own. I went to physical therapy for about 3 weeks and proceeded to do the home workouts that CJ provided me with afterwards and since then have not had any pain or problems with my ankle. I was thoroughly pleased with my experience at Kinesis Physical Therapy for a few reasons. First,
