"Jay is awesome. Great with communication and makes the session fun. Before Jay, I’d been working on an IT band injury for a few years now with little to no improvement. Now I’m finally on the right track and back to running regularly!!"

"Jay is the best physical therapist I’ve ever worked with, and I have had severe back issues since early childhood, and he has changed my life . At 67 years old I’m in the best shape I’ve been in in 25 years. I have great balance, flexibility and my back doctor was very impressed how much better I am... He is the best!"

"I’ve never thought going to physical therapy was a way to deal with ongoing issues from having an active lifestyle. Working with Jay over the last 7 months has shown me multiple ways to work through lower back issues in order to keep me doing the things I love doing - hiking and diving. It’s a great feeling to see progress in strength and mobility. Jay is dependable, available and very easy to work with."
