"I went to Movement Specialists Physical Therapy for shoulder problems back in 2020. Joe did an excellent job at evaluating the issues I was having and created a program that was easy for me to follow in order to address them. After suffering a separate injury earlier this year, I didn't hesitate to reach back out to him. He was able to get me scheduled for a consultation the very next day and had me started on a new program that week. After only six weeks, all of the symptoms and issues I had were gone. Joe and the staff are friendly and extremely thorough when it comes to patients' needs. I highly recommend using MSPT, as I've had nothing but great experiences in the two times I've gone there for PT. If needed, I wouldn't hesitate to return yet again."

"The place is very clean, the staff is great the PT is considered about my wellness."

"My husband & I have been going to MBMT for therapy for several months. It started with me after a knee replacement & hitting a plateau at another PT place. Joe’s hands on therapy had me recover quickly. Then my husband’s Parkinson’s hit a downhill point even though he was doing the BIG & LOUD program, so thought we’d see what MVMT could do. It has been amazing, though with Parkinson’s there are sudden low points, he has been able to walk more upright, longer, & get up from chairs much easier. Then I started having rotator cuff problems. I vowed I would not have the recommended surgery! Called Joe & started therapy for my shoulder. I was soon looking at being free of pain! The staff is so positive & welcoming, the atmosphere is so focused on recovery, but friendly. We both recommend MVMT for all areas of Physical Therapy. Thank you, MVMT!"

Overall you all need to go to them for your physical therapy needs because they know exactly how to help!"

"I'm really impressed by the knowledge and care from the MS team. Everyone is friendl, kindness patient. I especially appreciated the full exam I received from head PT, Joe.

I could barely hold a conversation because I was distracted by the pain.

Joey and his staff addressed my issues and gave me functional exercises that I could do on my own along with seeing me twice a week for more intense therapy.

"I love everything about this physical therapy facility. They (Joe & Lane) are professional, caring, patient, enthusiastic about your progress and very gentle. I had lumbar fusion surgery and since I’ve been attending physical therapy sessions at this facility my level of pain has drastically reduced and my mobility has greatly increased. I’ve enjoyed the sessions so much I extended them and now that it’s coming to an end I will miss them. I will enthusiastically recommend this place and the two physical therapists to anyone needing physical therapy."

"I'm super thrilled that I came and saw Joe at Movement Specialists Physical Therapy. I had been having lower back pain for weeks, and went in for an evaluation and wasn't disappointed. Joe was able to pinpoint the issue, due to his wealth of knowledge and experience, and drew up a personalized plan of attack to mitigate the problem. A few short visits later, I was pain free and glad to say STILL pain free!"

"Okay. Don't doubt it. Joe and Lane are a great team! And this *definitely* isn't like some soul crushing doctor's office. Joe develops a personalized regimen for each patient's situation. Coming in each scheduled time will feel more like entering a small gym with supportive personal trainers guiding you through doing what you need to do. Be honest about the pains, worries and needs you have and they can address them well. I went in with some concerns about my knees when sitting and laying down hurt or ached. Joe assessed and found out it could have eventually been a life long pain situation if I didn't do *anything* and I got into gear with his and Lane's help. (Thanks y'all.) And don't think you're too young, too old or not worth the effort. If you have any doubts in the back of your head about whether something is wrong (like me) or want to prevent things from getting *worse*, call. Call them. And best of luck on the journey as you get moving. You'll be in good hands."

"Fantastic place for physical therapy! I highly recommend Movement Specialist. Joe is hands down one of the best Physical Therapist that I have seen.

I went in for lower back pain and Joe tried various techniques in order to determine the best for me and I am pleased to say that I am stronger and pain free."
