Our physical therapists help people regain movement and function and get back to the activities they enjoy without pain. Here is what just of few of our patients are saying:
After years of poor posture, poor workout practices and a poor work station, my neck and upper back were in very poor shape. I didn’t realize weakness could hurt so much! You guys peeled away the layers to get to the root of my problem. I changed my work station and changed my workout habits – it took a very long time – real change takes small, consistent steps over a period of time. I am a lot better now and can now recognize what may cause future pain (stress and lack of exercise). I now can make myself better by knowing how to work out. I am sleeping much better, too. Middle age doesn’t have to be painful but you can’t just sit still and wish to feel better. Thank you, John!!

After four major back surgeries, John and his staff worked really hard to get me functional again. I am now running, hiking, biking, and lifting weights. After trying other places in town, I can really say that the care I received at Sapphire was the best!

My shoulder injury has gotten much better and less painful (as a result of therapy). Jaclyn has been thorough and has a so very positive attitude. It’s such a pleasure to receive treatment with Sapphire PT.

I have nothing but good to say about my experience with Sapphire. I recently completed four weeks of physical therapy that resolved back and leg problems that I have had for the past two years. I noticed the effect the first week. My treatment was effective but not more than I needed -just right.
Jackie was friendly, knowledgeable and always asking my thoughts about the treatment. I would recommend Sapphire to anyone who needs physical therapy in a friendly, professional environment.

I began attending Sapphire Physical Therapy after a car accident left me with serious neck and back pain. The staff was so incredibly knowledgeable and understanding. And the best part was, they listened. I was able to explain my pain and discomfort and they created an excellent treatment plan of exercises and techniques that brought my pain level down and my strength and functioning back up. I greatly appreciate the time they took to teach me exercises so that I can maintain at home. I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional level of care I received at Sapphire Physical Therapy.

You made me a believer in PT …I don’t wait around hoping injuries will just go away. My treatment included exercises & techniques to prevent injury from re-occurring. You got me through three marathons and I’m shooting for #4 this July!!!

On my podiatrists recommendation, I went to Sapphire Physical Therapy after an accident that caused severe pain in my big toe. I didn’t know what to expect on my first visit but the staff was kind and personable and made me feel immediately comfortable. The first visit was about fully identifying the cause of the pain and any not so obvious underlying conditions. They were extremely knowledgeable of the approaches to fix the problems. I started noticing a change and relief from pain starting from day one. Towards the end of my treatment, they even helped me find exercises to fix other problems that I had thought I just had to live with. Thanks to Sapphire Physical Therapy, I have a better understanding of how my body works and how to keep it working properly for an active lifestyle. I highly recommend Sapphire Physical Therapy to anyone!

I’m doing things now that I haven’t been able to do in years and I’m learning ways to modify the same exercises to make them different.
Carole T., Spring 2010
I sought out physical therapy when I finally couldn’t cross my arms over my head to pull off a sweater. Sadie reassured my I was not stoved-up for life and set in motion a multi-faceted program of healing, restoration, and strengthening at the clinic. I was also given materials and instructions for a home program that I have maintained ongoingly. Sadie also listens and observes, and makes adjustments accordingly to maximize effect with an eye towards patient maintaining therapeutic effect after release. I’m grateful for this approach to maximizing quality of life in a noninvasive fashion.

In 1996 I had a ski accident, which involve impacting a tree at our local ski area. I crushed my knee cap and fractured my pelvis. Following a month in the hospital and 6 months in a wheel chair I began physical therapy with Sapphire Physical Therapy.
Immediately followed my accident the doctors told me that I would be lucky to walk again and would never again be able to ski. The staff at Sapphire were great. I affectionately refer to them as my “physical terrorists”. But they rolled out a program that incrementally advanced me in my recovery. In a little over a year was able to actually ski in the easy slopes and continued with my PT program for several more months.
Two years following my accident I skied my first full season logging 41 days. And since then have continued to follow the exercise program Sapphire provided me. I continue to ski to this day and have skied as many as 62 days a year. I’m also an avid mountain biker and hiking enthusiast.
The help I received from Sapphire Physical Therapy has invaluably contributed to my quality of life. I’m 57 years old today and look forward to skiing well in to my 70’s. I’ll always be grateful for the help I received from my favorite “physical terrorists”
