I highly recommend Dr. Amy for your physical therapy needs! She helped me through sciatic nerve issues and now through Achilles pain. Dr. Amy is extremely knowledgeable and is constantly finding new ways to add value to her practice. She makes you feel comfortable during your sessions by explaining the process in a way you can understand. Thanks to her I did not have to hit pause on me workouts. Dr. Amy is the best!

I was referred to Dr. Amy by a friend and she is amazing! I originally injured my shoulder but Dr. Amy quickly realized that this was not the actual place that was bothering me, just a symptom. For someone with fibromyalgia, physical therapy has made a world of difference in my well being! Dr. Amy truly cares about her patients! She always make sure to give me some exercises before or after my appointment, as well as checks up on me after! Thank you so much for the care and dedication you have to helping others, it does not go unnoticed!

Dr. Amy is amazing! I have completed two video telehealth sessions with her, where she was able to diagnose my issue within minutes and provide exercises to help alleviate pain. She provides thorough explanation and demonstration of exercises. I was having extreme difficulty with sleeping due to hip pain, and after one session with Dr. Amy, I had the best night sleep. Definitely give her a call!
