Identity Physical Therapy...
★★★★★
"In my mid-fifties, my back was often feeling decades older - aching and stiff to the point where a long drive or a few hours of yard work left me sidelined far longer than I expected. It was frustrating and discouraging. That’s when I turned to iD.PT, hoping for real answers and lasting relief. Joe’s thorough evaluation uncovered the root cause of my discomfort (compensation through my back and pelvis, due to a lack of internal hip rotation) and his approach was refreshingly different from the standard physical therapy routine. Instead of the usual ice, heat, or electrical stimulation, Joe guided me through targeted breathing exercises and resistance training designed to build strength and resilience. Three months later, the difference is remarkable. I feel stronger, more mobile, and - most importantly - equipped with the tools to manage any flare-ups on my own. Thanks to Joe, I finally have confidence in my back again."

"I started to have left knee pain out of nowhere. Stoped playing basketball for almost a year because I was in so much pain when running. Went to a PT covered by my insurance and that didn’t do anything ! Weeks of PT sessions and no progress. Just exercises that masked the pain but didn’t really address it . But then I found Dr Joe at IDPT ! Night and day difference ! one on one PT experience that focuses on assessing and fixing the root cause of pain is what you will get. Dr Joe will set goals and go above and beyond to help you reach them. I was hesitant at first but became a believer after the first session! Now I’m back to being active and playing again. Very thankful to IDPT."

"Dr. Joe was so great! Dr. Joe took the time to assess and properly diagnose my pain. He created an ongoing plan for me to help me achieve my goals. Going to PT was difficult as I was dealing with pain, however, he encouraged me throughout the whole process and celebrated all my victories (no matter how small). He was always thoughtful and would answer all of my questions. He took the time to help me understand what I should be looking for when performing my corrective exercises to ensure I could carry forward these changes outside of PT. He also provided helpful videos and would check in with me after I was back to exercising. Even now that I have finished PT, he has continued to check in to see how I am doing and provided guidance on any questions I have to make sure I continue to stay pain free. Thank so much for all your help Joe!!!!"

"My fitness journey began over 10 years ago, and for 8 of those years, I had a feeling that working with a physical therapist could really help me reach my full potential. I’m not sure why I waited so long, but finding Dr. Joe was truly one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for my health and overall wellness.
He not only resolved the shoulder issues I’d been dealing with for years, but also identified and corrected other problems I wasn’t even fully aware of—just things I could feel but couldn’t explain.
If you’re considering physical therapy, you’d be missing out by not seeing him. After just a few sessions, I felt so good that I decided to keep going regularly—I never want to go back to not feeling this great!
It’s truly life-changing and it will be the best decision you could make for your fitness or health journey !!"
