I had an epidural injection in my neck 15 months before seeing Caleb. I was never out of pain in that time. After 10 sessions, I felt better than I had in years. Now, 2 months after my last appointment, I just had a 100% pain free round of golf. Can't recommend him and the whole facility enough. The experience changed my life. Thank you.

I can't say enough good things about working with Colten. After feeling stuck with traditional physical therapy approaches, his thoughtful observations and individualized strategies made all the difference. He not only listened carefully to my concerns but also created a plan that helped me make real progress. Thanks to his guidance, I've been able to return to activities I wasn't sure I'd ever get back to. This is the kind of physical therapy experience I wish everyone could have — supportive, effective, and truly transformative.
