Dr. Eric has totally changed my life and totally changed my perspective. When he says you’re going to be here for an hour, he really works with you for an hour.

Bill

They really work with you to get you better and that community feel is what I always look for in businesses.

Justin

I started coming in only when I was getting hurt. Then I noticed if I came in for prevention, that was the game changer.

Chris

I have been coming here for a month now and my life has changed. They have taught me so much about not being afraid to move and learning how to move.

Connie

It’s so nice that you are one-on-one with a physical therapist and are getting 100% attention from them.

Diane

I did my first ever marathon and my piriformis was killing me. It was hurting with every step. We did cupping, dry needling, and manual work. Standing here right now I feel like honestly, I could run again!

Dr. Elmquist

The reason I enjoy coming to Impact Physical Therapy is that the treatments that you receive here are going to be one-on-one whether or not you come for 30 or 60 minutes.

Nick

Dr. Sarah has excellent communication skills. She was able to listen to me well enough to know where exactly where my greatest pain was.

Marjorie

After one session at Impact, I already felt better than after the months of physical therapy I was doing in San Francisco.
