Optimal Physical Therapy

Dr. Nate is a well-trained therapist who combines his excellent theoretical knowledge with a lot of clinical experience. I would recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Brenna was very interested in hearing the full story of what may have led to the discomfort that brought me in, and asked a lot of great questions as she read between the lines. It was apparent she was examining the entire system, not just where I complained of pain. She was respectful of my activity and what I thought I knew. She was thorough in testing, and worked some magic even though I’d grown frustrated that my issue wasn’t becoming clear on demand. She gave me homework I was comfortable with doing. She resolved my pain entirely in a single visit, and I am grateful!

We are fortunate to have Optimal in our small town. The staff are friendly, considerate, and knowledgeable. Dr. Sara, who I am currently working with, is a joy. She knows her stuff and is just such a pleasant person to be around. When finished, I walk away feeling better physically and lighter in spirit.

Pretty much for 71 years of my life I've been using my body wrong. This then resulted in severe sciatic pain for almost 2 years. I've seen three different physicians and have been prescribed different medications with no resolve.
I have only been with Joy, my new physical therapist for two weeks and I literally have found a new fountain of youth! I've discovered muscles I didn't even realize I had. Joy is incredible and she's an amazing teacher. There's never a negative statement only encouragement.

When I decided to have my knee replacement, I knew I would have a ton of PT appointments. My insurance allowed me choices about.where I was able to go for therapy. I chose Optimal PT because of its location. From the first appointment I felt heard, valued and respected. The pain was incredibly intense in the beginning and Dr Nate devised an exercise routine that allowed for recovery with respect to my pain. He pushed me gently to respect my body and still meet my own goals. As I work with Mara PTA at The Ranch in Marshall now, she is continuing to build on what Dr Nate started. She has continued to encourage me as I recover. I would highly recommend going to Optimal PT for post op recovery!
