Dr Kelvin is amazing, and the front receptionist Jenny is awesome and welcoming. Thank you guys for helping me with my back pain.

Highly recommend Lily Anderson! I'm a runner and I've done *a lot* of physical therapy at a lot of different practices. PRO Therapy stands apart because of how easy it is to schedule appointments compared to larger health systems. Lily is also always accessible by email and, unlike PTs I've had at larger health systems, always responded to my emails promptly and with substantive advice. I appreciate Lily's strength focused approach and targeted use of manual therapies, and how she made sure to inquire about adequate fueling and other injury risk factors. While I hope I won't be back soon, as a runner I know I'll need PT help again at some point. When I do, I won't hesitate to go back to Lily at PRO Therapy.

I cannot recommend Lilly highly enough! After experiencing significant shoulder pain following an injury, I was unsure how to find relief. From the very first session, Lilly's expertise and compassionate approach made all the difference.

She took the time to thoroughly assess my condition and developed a tailored treatment plan that addressed my specific needs. Throughout our sessions, Lilly was incredibly patient and supportive, guiding me through each exercise and explaining their purpose. Her knowledge of anatomy and rehabilitation techniques is impressive, and she always ensured I felt comfortable and confident in my progress.

Thanks to her dedication and encouragement, I have significantly improved my strength and mobility. Lilly truly cares about her patients, and it shows in her work. If you're looking for a skilled and attentive physical therapist, I highly recommend Lilly. She has truly changed my life!

Thank you, Lilly, for your help.

Kevin at ProTherapy is excellent! He is able to listen to feedback and discern next steps for meeting clients where they are at on their healing journey. He really cares about his client's wellness. His guidance as been spot on and appreciated! I will recommend ProTherapy to family and friends.

I was referred to PRO Therapy by my chiropractor. I was in desperate need of a good PT after very minimal mediocre treatment at another well known clinic. My first visit I knew my experience would be different with PRO Therapy. There was adequate time to share the history following my knee injury and I felt like I was taken seriously. Dr. Spahr formulated a plan that I was comfortable with and we were off. He made it clear that he wanted to see if we could truly heal the knee without another cortisone injection. I love that I felt included in my treatment plan and am always asked if I have questions about what we’re doing. Dr. Spahr is very good at what he does, he’s super knowledgeable for sure! He has a very good and natural ability to meet you where you’re at and moving at a pace that works for your body. My knee issues are resolving at a remarkable pace without another cortisone injection! When I started with PRO Therapy, I thought at the end of it all I would likely need another injection but that’s not the case at all. I would absolutely recommend you give PRO Therapy a try if you’re considering. I’ve referred my husband and can’t wait to see what kind of results he will have. Thanks Dr. Spahr!

Everyone was nice, positive, really helpful and the stuff they do really helps! I appreciate you all and can't wait to keep coming back!! Thanks again

As a chiropractor, I've explored various treatments for my persistent knee pain, but Stimwave therapy at ProTherapy has been the most effective. The team was knowledgeable, professional, and made me feel comfortable throughout the process. Since starting treatment, my knee pain has improved significantly and the constant ache I was having is gone.
Suzanne D.
Would recommend and would return for future needs. Dr. Lily was a great listener and tailored her approach to my needs, reassessing each time to make sure I was progressing and my overall goals were met. I also received weekly emails with my plan and left treatment with an overall plan to sustain my improvements. If you’re having pain, soreness, lack of mobility, etc. this will help.
Francine T.
I had six sessions with Kelvyn at PRO Therapy to ease the pain and lack of mobility in my neck and my right rotator cuff. I was afraid of losing even more mobility. Through exercises, stretching and massage, I gained mobility. Pain and discomfort noticeably lessened. Kelvyn is great! Highly recommended.
