Testimonials

Staff from PTs to techs were marvelous. Robin, who did my intake and many sessions is smart, affable and very well informed about the myriad of treatments available and how to tailor a program to suit the needs of individual patients. Kudos to all, I hi9gholoy recommend this facility!

Sandra Hoffmann

So thankful for my experience with Brianna and the staff at Magnolia PT! I spent years dealing with hip /foot pain that just became part of my norm. I am now pain free majority of the time!! Brianna is so warm and relentless in her pursuit to make her clients feel better.

Maria Perez

This place is great for physical therapy! I’ve gone there for a neck problem and after a knee surgery. The staff is kind and knowledgeable. They have what I used to consider alternative medicine options (like dry needling and cupping). I’m not sure how widespread those treatments are in physical therapy, but I’ve found them to be great additional options. It’s a comfortable space with well maintained equipment. Convenient that there is dedicated parking for the building so I didn’t have to walk super far with crutches after surgery. I won’t go anywhere else for PT. Love working with Carli, Allan, and Brandon.
