What Our Clients Say

“I was totally skeptical coming in. Even a little resistant. But I had the best session ever. I keep waiting for “the catch”. Like, how could this have possibly worked within an hour– something that I’ve been carrying around, in and out of therapy, for years? But now, two months later, I still feel free of my burden. Before I left, I took a bunch of Divya’s business cards. I have a few friends who could really use her help!”

"I spent two months at PhysioFit, three days a week, after a knee replacement. My PT was fantastic. She nursed my knee back to health. She was compassionate and knowledgeable. She not only made the exercises easy to remember but also sent them to my computer which was most helpful. From the time you enter the front door until you are finished with your one-hour session, the employees make you feel at home and they all remember my name after the first visit. I was most impressed that each session was performed in a private room. We did spend some time in their large gym room with lots of equipment. The one-on-one in a private room was so much better than other physical therapy locations I have attended where there is a mass of humanity in one large room with loud music playing. I plan on returning to PhysioFit for monthly tune-ups and to keep current on their recommendations for future exercises to keep my knee in top" shape.
