Reviews

Eric has helped me through 2 total knee replacements and a couple other random challenges. He is the best PT I have worked with and I NOW go out of my way to work with him. I was back on the standup paddle board 5 weeks after my second knee replacement (11 weeks after the first knee). Because of my sport, we worked on kneeling, and balance as early as was possible and it worked so well. I most recently went to get help with neck mobility and strengthening to support a well used and slightly abused spine. He empowered me with all the knowledge i needed and has provided excellent guidance and follow up.
