"While visiting in Myrtle Beach my husband has muscle pain in his thigh. We called Par Physical Therapy and Chris had him immediately come in and was given some muscle therapy. They then said if he needed another session they would see him the next day, despite the fact it was the weekend. They took time and care doing his treatment, not rushing or making him feel as though he was an inconvenience. He was also instructed regarding some things he could do at home. He left there not only with some relief, but feeling very grateful, thankful for their friendliness, attention to … and care for him. We highly recommend Par without hesitation."

"I would highly recommend Par Physical Therapy as all the therapists are very knowledgeable and they are hands on as well as teaching you to do proper exercises. They also do dry needling and coupling. I have experienced the coupling and it helps a lot. The one thing for me is they really care when they ask you how your doing. Also , no need for a recommendation."

"I began seeing Chris and Gianna about 3 months ago with significant hip pain. I had gone the Doctors route, X-Rays, MRI, cortisone shots and nothing was working. I was referred to Par by a friend, and they have been both g short of amazing. As a former competitive hockey player, my body has taken quite a beating over the years, but the hip was was, at times, staggering and debilitating. Chris and Gianna spent a lot of time listening, they gave me plenty of information, exercises, and their treatment was top notch. I am thrilled to report that I am now, for the most part, pain free. In three months, these outstanding folks resolved an issues that had been plaguing me for years. I am extremely grateful to Par for their care and determination to get me back to where I belong. Thank you!"

"I can't say enough great things about Par Physical Therapy. I was told from my doctor that I needed to have physical therapy before looking at back surgery. This was based on the advice of my insurance company. I made an appointment to go to par and from the moment I walked in I was made to feel very welcome. The staff is friendly and they actually listened. I've been there now for about two months and was told by my physician that I do not need the back surgery that the physical therapy has helped greatly. I will continue going there twice a week for the foreseeable future. Take the time and simply go by meet the staff have them check you out and give it a shot. "

"I have had shoulder pain for three years after a slip on gym equipment. It had gotten to the point of not being able to sleep at night. The throbbing pain made me cry. I could not find a comfortable place to sleep at night. I was as unable to grab items from a shelf that was higher than the bottom shelf. The pain was excrutiating. In the past I tried cortisone shots, deep tissue massage, shots to my shoulder areas with the pain coming back. I found Par PT on Facebook. Once I decided to go to PAR, in a few sessions, I noticed a huge difference in my shoulder. Between the exercises, the therapies and home exercises my shoulder no longer hurts at night like it did. If you are in pain, give Par PT a try. They treat you like family. Thank you all! Brandon and Liam are the best!"

Gianna has been a major contributor to my knee improvement and I would recommend her for PT without any hesitation. She pays attention to how I'm doing before every session and makes adjustments as required. Other PT offered up to me previously just went by a script with little or no results."

From the very first day, I saw the professionalism and compassion my friends were talking about. I have been to other PT offices, but none can compare to PAR. The Practitioners, Assistants and the ENTIRE staff are top notch. Always a smile on their faces, their spirit of friendship and community is something I will always remember during this journey. My treatment was 3 months long. Brandon and Liam were always understanding when I was having a bad day. Especially the few times I cried because " I couldn't do it" Well, after a while I " did do it" and they applauded my success with sincerity. We laughed a lot and PT was actually fun most days. If you need to have PT, please don't hesitate to call PAR. You will be glad you did. Their skills and techniques are outstanding. It truly is a special office. Thank you to ALL the staff for helping me with my knee recovery. Marie Mora"

I still had full range of motion but it hurt to lift my arm above my head and couldn’t hold it straight out at 90 degrees and keep it there. Chris said he could help me and not need a shoulder replacement so I started PT with Chris and Gianna. After 16 seasons I was doing much better Now after 2 more months of exercises they gave me to do at home I am very much improved and have no plans to have shoulder replacement surgery. I have gained back my weak muscles and strengthening them. Thank you Chris and Gianna You guys are great and I will continue with my exercises.

From day one, I felt warmly welcomed by the entire team, making it easy to settle in and truly feel like part of their family. Working under the guidance of Dr. Brandon was nothing short of inspirational. His expertise and dedication helped me enhance my clinical reasoning and manual skills in ways I never thought possible. I’m incredibly grateful for his mentorship. A huge shoutout to Liam, who was always there to lend a helping hand and share his insights! I also want to recognize Chris and Gianna for their invaluable support and encouragement throughout my rotation.

After several months of dealing with Achilles tendonitis, and no pain relief with resting and home exercises, my daughter's orthopedic surgeon recommended physical therapy. Brandon and Liam have proven to be knowledgeable, supportive and great listeners. Every visit Brandon asks my daughter about her concerns and goals and makes a treatment plan which includes massage, cupping, laser therapy and/or dry needling.

He’s knowledgeable and skillful, listens attentively and creates a personalized, on line exercise program (no blurry cheap photocopies) for during and after therapy finishes. He eliminated shoulder pain, restored range of motion and because his practice premise is “everything’s connected “ I have no more ocular migraines and much improved posture and range of motion in head and neck. His pt assistant, Gianna, is a treasure when assisting in exercises. They are my choice should I require PT in the future."

"PAR physical is the standard by which all Others should be measured. Over the course of medical career, first as a medical student, then surgical resident, then surgical fellow, then as an attending trauma/ACS surgeon the past 12 yrs I’ve worked with countless physical therapists. Chris and Casey Garavito and the all star team they’ve assembled are truly one of best if not THE best I’ve worked with over the years. Their knowledge and experience is only rivaled by their deep care and commitment to their patients’ well-being and relentless pursuit of excellent outcomes for those they treat. I recently saw this firsthand as a patient with a musculoskeletal/hip injury that I had suffered with for nearly two years. In just a few weeks I was able to regain complete function and get back to pain free day to day. Simply incredible - and this was after visits to surgeons like myself had, unfortunately, yielded poor to no result in my condition. Please do yourself a favor and go see this incredible medical team - they are the real deal ."

From my first day, when I was thoroughly evaluated by their director Chris, I was briefed on the full spectrum of in-home and clinical treatments to deal with my rotator cuff injury. And within just 3 months of commencing treatment at PAR my pain and limited mobility issues were resolved. I can honestly state that I have regained 95% strength in that right arm, and I have happily resumed almost all of my former athletic and social activities. Before closing, I must give a special shout out to my assigned therapist Gianna Rossman, who was instrumental in helping me get better quickly.

My first day I was nervous, I met Chris and his staff, they made me feel welcome and at ease. I told Chris My goal was to be able to walk without the aid of a walker or cane.

Chris and his staff gave me the confidence to trust that the therapy plan was going to help me reach my goal.

"I was introduced to Chris and PAR Physical Therapy when I attended one of their shoulder workshops. I had the beginning of problems with my right shoulder. I was very impressed by Chris' approach to physical therapy which was different from other PTs I had gone to for various joint replacements. Chris and his staff gave me two more years of shoulder pain relief before arthritis got the best of me. After a total reverse shoulder replacement, I came back to PAR for rehab. I can't say enough about everyone there. Their work ethics, their professionalism and dedication are like none other. In addition, they are all fun and it doesn't take long for the patient to become a friend to the whole staff. I just "graduated" from therapy but I know I can go back at any time for a "refresher" if I need. PAR is by far the place you want to go!"

"I am so happy with my physical therapy at PAR. Chris Garavito came to Pure Barre in Murrells Inlet to talk about services they offer to people who are experiencing pain or discomfort due to overwork or injury. I tweaked my hip months ago while traveling, & was feeling pain. My hips & knees were so tight & inflexible. I was starting to work out again at Pure Barre to build strength & flexibility, but felt it would be even more advantageous to add PAR for physical therapy to help speed up the flexibility & strength. Good idea! I honestly feel that PAR has helped me tremendously. They worked with my insurance, schedule, listened & worked with me. I was feeling much better after the first 2 sessions! They have a marvelous app that show VIDEOS of the exercises that I’m to do, which is most helpful. And I click on the exercises when I’m done which helps me with accountability!

I started this series with Chris and finished with Brandon. Each applied a combination of manipulation, massage and traction to provide me with relief. I also received effective exercise therapy from Jessica, Liam and Daniel. This combination of treatment has resulted in less pain in my neck and many fewer headaches. In addition, each of the above professionals helped me with some soreness in the area of my right hip flexor which flares up when I’m stiff or after a run. Again, symptoms have subsided. All of this treatment takes place in a fun, open space setting with a lot of good natured chatter between the therapists, which inevitably draws in the patients. Once you are a patient at PAR you become a friend. I have and will continue to strongly recommend PAR Physical Therapy to anyone with muscle, joint or similar issues.

Ive been treated for chronic low back pain and leg pain due to disc problems on and off here for a couple of years.The therapists and staff are knowledgeable, skilled and gifted, and just plain nice. In my opinion what distinguishes and characterizes this business is the personal approach offered. They dont just ask about your back pain etc but try to understand you and your life style with a warm personal approach to designing a treatment plan . The open clinic area often has conversations flying around among/between staff and patients, making therapy more relaxing and fun. For a personal example I had extreme difficulty in raising my leg associated with and in addition to back pain. With one treatment, Chris was able to treat my leg, allowing almost full range of motion for the first time in years. as well as significant reduction of back pain. So yes, I highly recommend PAR PT and would only consider them if I ever need more PT, you should too."

The worst of it was the cervical breaks, 5, with C2 being the hangman's break. I thank God every day that I survived it, most don't. Physical Therapy was suggested by my neurologist. I went in to see Chris with doctors orders. I wouldn't go to anyone else. I trust him literally with my life. The c2 break is doing better, but still some issues. I also have back and wrist issues, from the breaks. Back and spine are #1, then we can work on the rest.

Favoring it led to a very small range of motion and even more pain. It was a vicious cycle but I didn’t know how to break it myself. When I read the ad I saw that there were other patients like me that PAR was able to help so I skipped the seminar and made an appointment. I was in therapy for about 3 months and am now back in the gym with my new increased, pain free, range of motion. If I feel my shoulder bothering me again, I will not hesitate to call for help because I know it will work. The team makes you feel welcome and confident in their ability and yours.

I didn't realize how hard I worked during each session until I finished. My recent shoulder rehab allowed me to move my shoulder much easier without pain and strengthen the muscles. I found out that my high school neck injury ( 50 + years ago) is one of the causes of my shoulder problems today.

I was referred to PAR and I have had a lot of improvement in my pain. I was waking up in the middle of the night because of pain. Sharp pains would occur with almost any activity or even just getting out of a chair. Anyone with chronic pain knows what a toll it can take on your mental as well as physical health. I have just finished the therapy that my insurance would cover so I thought I would just be given some exercises and manage on my own but I thought wrong. I can continue to follow up intermittently for any issues I have and any therapies that I need. It’s good to know that I can see someone that already knows me and my history for any future problems.

"I had been struggling with elbow pain for a year and tried rest and alternately a bunch of home google exercise/stretching suggestions. I originally thought PT may be an overkill for an elbow that should just rest and heal, but since I worked my elbow from some pain to a lot of pain 24/7, I tried PAR. I wish I hadn't waited. My physical therapist, Brandon and PTA, Daniel, had the elbow pain in control and then eliminated after only 2 sessions while introducing the stretching and strengthening program. My arm is getting stronger and I'm doing the exercises at home with results and staying pain free. Phew! They've made time to work on part of the problem, which is coming from neck/back, shoulder. They are not just effective, the whole PAR gym has to be the most cheerful place on the Grand Strand- I recommend them highly!"

"I became a patient of PAR Physical Therapy because of an introductory session they had at Black Dog Running Company in Myrtle Beach, where I work. I’ve had ongoing neck and back problems and was looking for a chiropractor when I decided to try the PAR method of PT. What I had was a great experience. While chiropractic has been effective for me, I was most impressed with the amount of time and the variety of manipulation, adjustment and stretches applied to me by Chris and his outstanding staff of PT professionals. While I might never be “pain free”, I have noticed a clear improvement in my range of motion, along with much less daily discomfort, since the beginning of my treatment. PAR also makes it clear that its patients share responsibility for their physical health, with homework assignments in stretching and related exercises. In addition to the clinical aspects, PAR makes the experience a whole lot of fun. There is constant banter, joking, and good-natured ribbing that takes place in PAR’s open treatment area, among the staff members and sometimes the patients. “No Harm, No Foul” is the rule of the day. Chris and staff also excel in establishing and maintaining community and business to business relationships, which benefits everyone. When you become a patient at PAR, you become a friend. So, many thanks to Chris, Brandon, Jessica, Daniel, Holly, Caroline, Jocelyn, and anyone else at PAR who may have touched me. I plan to return when necessary and am pleased to recommend PAR Physical Therapy to anyone who needs relief from their hurt."

It was painful at first but as the weeks go by I was getting better and less painful. They give exercises to do at home as well. The staff are very helpful and make sure you can do the exercise. I don’t have any other experience with another Physical Therapy clinic but did feel very comfortable with them. Came back for follow up on my rotator cuff to see how I was doing and Chris notice I was limping. Was having lots of pain in my knee and calf on my left leg. After a brief exam he said he could help and let Jessica explain in more detail what was wrong. So, I came back again for more treatment and within a few weeks got getting better. If I had problem they would work on that area. I really liked coming in didn’t dread coming in always left feeling better and stronger each time. If I have to face any other need for Physical Therapy will always ask my doctor let me go back to Par."

From what I understand, very few physical therapists are trained to use osteopathic techniques. I also get dry needling that has provided amazing results. I get more relief with dry needling than any muscle relaxer I have taken. Jessica, the PTA, is also wonderful and very knowledgeable.

I knew it was going to be an out of pocket expense so I wanted to explore my options and I went and checked out PAR PT and decided I wanted to continue my therapy there and try a different approach. The focus isn't solely on my knee and it's focusing on overall balance and alignment with proper form. If you're not doing your exercises correctly, you will be corrected 😉 which is a great thing when you are trying to get better.. Chris and his staff are always helpful and kind! From the moment you inquire about therapy to when you walk out the door after each session.

"Excellent care and very reasonably priced Recently I underwent shoulder surgery and my physical therapy was delayed over a month due to Covid 19 and isolation. My husband and I were also scheduled to come to Surfside, South Carolina for the winter and were due to leave before therapy could start. After doing a Google search of the area and speaking with Holly over the phone, I knew I found the right place. Since I was going to another state for care, my insurance would not cover therapy here. Not a problem at PAR. They have one of the best fee schedules for self-paying customers in the area. Due to the delay, my shoulder had tightened to the point raising my arm above my head caused excruciating pain. Chris immediately went to work to loosen things up. He is extremely knowable with Rotator Cuff problems and knew right were to start. Twice a week for two and a half months, Chris and Jessica worked their magic and was able to help me regain range of motion and strengthen my weak muscles. Chris even did video calls with my Ortho primary in Wisconsin and kept her updated on my progress. Every week I was given new exercise instructions to do at home and was very impressed that they have an APP for my phone, in which all my exercises were uploaded to. I’ll be able to take this with me and use this for many months to come. Now it’s time to return home but I’m going with a lot more movement and a lot less pain. I really enjoyed my time with Chris, Jessica and Holly. They make you feel VERY welcomed and “part of the family.” By the way, Chris has great knowledge on all things local which is a great distraction when sore muscles are being manipulated.

"I just completed week three of my five week physical therapy plan for my shoulder, and what I'm able to do today versus three weeks ago is amazing! Prior to seeing Chris, I had spent thousands of dollars at local chiropractors to treat my shoulder, however they never unearthed the true problem. During my consultation with Chris, he explained all the reasons a person can have shoulder pain/immobility, and upon examination, he found my first rib was out of place. After mobilizing my first rib during the consultation, I was able to lift my arm with a significant reduction in pain and that was just during my consultation. Just over three weeks ago, I was unable to put my hair up in a ponytail without pain, could not put my left arm behind my back, or use my left arm for daily living without severe pain. Today, I can and without pain!!! Chris checks in with his patients between visits, and it's evident he cares about his patients and their ability to live their best life. There's a reason there are walls of patient testimonials at PAR PT, I highly recommend going to see Chris and Jessica."

"I first started to have discomfort in my right shoulder two years ago. I was give an injection of a cortizone which for several months was effective for relief of the discomfort. Probably one year ago the discomfort changer to pain particularly at night while trying to sleep. January of 2020 I gave serious consideration to a reverse shoulder replacement. With the pandemic upon us in March all elective surgery began to be cancelled as it was an elective procedure. Sometime shortly thereafter I saw via, facebook, a video presenting information about PAR Physical Therapy. I gave it some thought and scheduled a free comsultation with Chris GaravitoMSPT. This led to my active roll for PT for my shoulder. I am very thankful for the treatment I received and the fact that my range of motion as increase and I am much more able to before all activities of daily as well as my return to nine holes for golf. I would like to give credit to Jessica PTA who was my primary source of therapy under the direction of Chris. thank you , Peggy Veedock"

"To start I have had two rotator cuff repairs both of which failed. I scheduled an appointment with my orthopedic surgeon because my pain level had begun to be unbearable. During that visit my two options were shoulder replacement or Physical Therapy. Timing being everything the weekend before my visit with my Doctor my wife saw PAR’s video addressing rotator cuff pain issues. I had scheduled a free consultation just prior to my appointment. I arrived at PAR and Chris started his evaluation. My range of motion was nearly zero. Chris did some adjustments and immediately my range of motion improved 100%. In the following weeks we added to my therapy and I saw continued improvements in strength and motion. We have now added strength training with weights and we are improving the muscles that remain able to be rehabilitated. As we make progress I am able to now use my arm and shoulder to do simple things that most don’t think about getting a container out of the fridge putting on your seat belt and most importantly getting a decent night sleep. I am certain with continued use of the exercises that Chris Jessica and Casey have taught me I will continue to improve. The most important thing is with no additional surgeries. Thank you PAR for all you do and have done."

"My experience with PAR Physical Therapy was truly a positive one. I first met Chris and Jessica prior to my right knee replacement surgery in September. Chris designed and implemented an exercise program to strengthen my leg muscle and to ensure balance a month prior to surgery. The program was done on site once weekly and at home daily. Any questions I had about the surgery and rehab was readily addressed and satisfactorily answered by Chris alleviating my anxiety. Once my surgery was done I met with Chris and Jessica three times a week. He said I was doing “awesome”. I asked why and Chris told me I had one of the best surgeons and an exercise program prior to surgery. I also think because I had one of the best Physical Therapists. Chris is caring and really takes an interest in his clients. I am now 6 weeks post surgery and can walk up and down the stairs with a normal alternating gait. I walk no longer with a limp. But over all, I am so glad the surgery is behind me and that I made the right decision. Thank you PAR Physical Therapy along with your staff. Donna Sherman"

"Had hip replacement surgery and decided to try PT 3 weeks after surgery. It was not required but wanted to maximize my recovery. What a great call finding Chris and his group. What I discovered was my hip was doing great but my leg and back muscles were so weak, therfore my support system around the hip needed work. Chris is hands on and we went to work and n 6 weeks I have mobility and strength in areas that I didn't know we're weak. If u like golf, this is the right place. I would not spend the time to write a review if I didn't believe in what I experienced with PAR. They understand the game and want to help u get better. They have technology that u can't find @ other facilities that measures your rotation speed, balance, weight distribution at impact and basically any measurable aspect of your game. It then is compared to Tour specs so u can see real numbers for your swing!!! I literally have gained 7-8 mph n swing speed just by knowing what to work on. It's nice to find a business that matches your expectations."

Although I initially went to Chris for back and shoulder discomfort, I mentioned pain I had in jaw bone area. I had seen a dentist and periodontist who did 2 root canals, pain did not go away. So I went to an oral maxiofacial and ENT Dr but no real answers.

By far and beyond Chris and Par Physical therapy have done in 3 weeks what nobody could do in 15 years. I have a frozen shoulder and have been told by numerous Doctors and Physical Therapists that I needed a full shoulder replacement and I would not be able to get anymore relief than what I already have had. I am so freaking happy and can't believe that I can rotate my shoulder and reach overhead now, its like a miracle. Chris has completely changed my view and ability of my shoulder, I went into this thinking ohhh here we go just another therapist and now I am like this man is a God send. The things he has done with my shoulder are unbelievable and I will talk him up and his ability until the day I die. It is amazing and I am in awwww of what he has done in 3 weeks. It really is a complete change and I can't wait to see what he can do with another 3 weeks. The pain and numbness has almost gone away and the motion has increased so much I might even be able to play golf or throw a baseball again with my kids, just thinking about that has me tearing up. I thought I would never be able to play catch with them like my father did with me. He is the best by far and I can't even imagine what my shoulder would be like in the next 5 years if I didn't find him. 5 star review more like 50 star review the techniques he uses I have not come across any physical therapist to date that has used them.

Chris was very good about laying out what the process would look like as well as realistic recovery expectations. I think the one thing that really sticks out to me is how individualized the PT regimen was. Chris knew exactly what I needed during each phase of the recovery process and would hold me accountable if I wasn’t investing enough in my recovery. I needed that extra push he would give me when I slacked off but was also quick to praise aspects of the PT that we’re going well.

"I was referred to Chris through a friend, who was having great success with the PT he was receiving. I had tendonitis in my right elbow that was exacerbated by a slip and fall on my right elbow. Rather than doing soft tissue massage immediately, Chris evaluated my spine and found that my upper right rib was about an inch higher than my upper left rib. Most of our early sessions were spent working on realigning the ribs to get them back in the correct location. After that we began soft tissue massage and laser treatment. The procedures greatly reduced the pain to the point where elbow braces and drugs were no longer necessary to play golf. In addition to my elbow he worked on my lower back and left hip with a series of exercises and manipulations to realign them and keep them in place for the long term. I would highly recommend Chris if you have problems that PT would help resolve."

The pain in my right shoulder was bad enough to convince me he was right. So, I scheduled the surgery. However, in a phone conversation my brother spoke of Chris saying that he had been able to drastically improve his back pain and that I should give him a try. I did that & It has been the best health choice I’ve made. I cancelled the surgery & started therapy with Chris. My shoulder pain is diminished enough so I’m back to playing golf & doing all the things I love. I’m getting stronger with little pain & no thoughts of surgery thanks to the knowledge & caring of Chris.

I suffered an injury to my right shoulder a few years ago and haven't been able to use my arm well. Chris, the therapist, had me raising my arm over my head after the first session. Now we are stabilizing the shoulder and strengthening it. Chris is caring and concerned about his clients, and instinctively knows what is needed. The best part is that the clinic is inside the gym and I can go from workout to appointment or vice versa as needed, no travel! All in all 5 stars!"

"I have been seeing Chris for traditional physical therapy, dry needling, and deep tissue laser therapy for an overuse injury and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. When I started out at PAR PT I was unable to walk, use the stairs, or sleep without pain. After my initial laser therapy session I slept through the night for the first time in over a month and a couple of weeks later I am walking, taking the stairs, and rehabbing pain free. Chris thoroughly explained his treatment approach, answered all of my questions (I had many!), and addressed associated/underlying issues not just the injury. He is a true professional (I don't use that term loosely) whose passion for getting people back to the activities that they love comes through in each one-on-one session. I'm no stranger to physical therapy and PAR PT is second to none. Thanks so much Chris!"

"Chris helped my husband and I felt like he could help my neck and lower back. I’ve been pain free since October 2021. It’s wonderful. Chris is better than a chiropractor."

"Par Phsical Therapy has been a tremendous asset in helping me get my shoulder to 100%. For about six years I have dealt with a sublexing shoulder that was hindering my ability to improve in the gym. My major issues were working out chest, and shoulders. I couldn’t do too much without it giving out and causing me pain. With only three weeks working with Chris (the PT) I have seen drastic improvements with my shoulder! I am able to workout harder and steadily increase weight and reps. I also have better mobility and less agitation with it. On top of that, Chris seems to really care about the improvement of his patients; the attitude he portrays with me and the attitude I have witnessed with other patients, is truly one of a kind."

"I have seen Chris for 4 laser therapy sessions and 1 dry needling. Wow what a difference he has made in my range of motion, strength, and mobility. When I first started with him the pain was almost unbearable. Chris really takes the time to not only treat you but also explains why and what he is doing. I have been having a lot of trouble with my shoulder for years and by far the therapy Chris has done with me have been the most effective by far. Thanks again Chris for all that you do. 💪🏋️‍♂️"

"I'm a Senior and my range of motion was very limited. After just two session I feel like dancing. My balance and stamina has greatly improved. I've just completed my fourth session and plan to continue. Can't wait until the weather breaks so I can play golf.By the way there's a golf simulator right next door to his office and my game looks promising."

"I walked into PAR Physical Therapy with walking-associated left hip pain and depression from not being able to run like I used to. Chris worked with me for almost 6 weeks, dry needling my tight muscles, teaching me exercises to strengthen my hip, helping me to avoid having hip surgery, and giving me hope when I had minor setbacks. He treated my whole body, not just the hip. He was patient, funny, and encouraging. This is my second PT experience and I’m so grateful. Today, I’m back to running and I’m pain free. #BestFeelingEver"
