CathyI have been working with Andrew Grissom for five months for help with my back, leg, and foot. This is the first experience with physical therapy that has actually been a positive experience, and I have had numerous previous therapists for a variety of issues. Dr. Grissom (Andrew) always treated me with kindness and compassion but pushed me to do the necessary work for rehabilitation. He was flexible and creative in devising the different exercises needed to hasten my improvement, and focused on exercises that I could do at home. Unlike so many therapists who try to force patients past endurance, Andrew focuses on flexibility and support. Never once did I feel belittled or humiliated as in other PT settings, but was always encouraged and supported. His positive attitude made my recovery easier and more thorough. I always left my sessions feeling better and hopeful.

BarbaraI had pain in my arm and chronic back pain. Jonathan Frakes is my
therapist. Within 2 days my arm pain was gone. Jonathan is working
on my back now. He is the best therapist I've had (after different
surgeries I've had many). He works so hard to help me and makes
me work hard too. If you need therapy Movement for Life is a
wonderful, pleasant place to go. thanks Jonathan
