This practice is phenomenal. My therapist, Kayla Kramer, is especially amazing. I’ve been to physical therapy for years for various ailments and this experience was better than anything I’ve experienced previously. I’m pleased to report that my ankle and foot are exercise ready. Thank you Kayla!

Active PT was great to work with!! I worked with Mike and Johnny who were both professional and lighthearted. No one really likes PT but they made it a relaxed environment with exercises that were fun to do and helped me solve my pain problem.

A year ago to this month I suffered severe nerve damage that caused my right leg to be paralyzed and needed to learn how to walk again and build up strength. Melissa Larson was my PT at ActivePT and helped me through the process to not only build back strength but also build back confidence in my body! Awesome team!

I had a great experience at Active PT. I have a chronic neck injury that flared up and caused me 10/10 pain. Within 8 weeks my neck is feeling better than it has in years and I now have exercises and stretches to do at home to keep it in check. Thank you Johnny and Active PT!

Brandon Voth is the man! I went from not being able to do things I love (tennis, disc golfing, weight lifting) due to my shoulder to being able to do all that and then some. This is by far the best physical therapy experience I’ve had.

As a person with multiple orthopedic surgeries! I should rate as a good authority on physical therapy. Optimus ranks at the top. My initial exam by Levi Peterson was the most thorough ever. And since then his determination to find the best treatment options and to listen to concerns is outstanding.

My 13 year old son was having foot and ankle trouble. Joan quickly determined the remedy. She would not accept payment as it was resolved during the free initial assessment. Joan was extremely skilled, work very well with an adolescent and showed great integrity. I also appreciated the easy accessibility to the practice and appointments.
