WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Testimonials
Several years ago I needed PT for recovery for rotator cuff repair and was fortunate to meet Jeff Garbi who did excellent work to get me quickly on the road to full recovery. When I recently developed a knee problem that could have been headed for surgery I opted for a more conservative initial plan of action. Jeff was my first and obvious choice for PT. He provided competent and caring PT that got me back to hiking mountain trails. Couldn't have asked for more.
Paul Westerman
Jeff is very skilled at identifying the source of my pain. His techniques for releasing my tension and pain are very successful. His continued treatments have helped my body become more flexible and the pain gradually subside.
Iris Milan
Jeff made a huge difference for my husband Floyd. For approx 4 years Floyd's knee pain kept getting worse until he quit walking more than very small distances. Nothing he tried helped. Jeff set up exercises to do at home and manipulated the tissue around his knee. He discovered that both legs had issues as did Floyd's lower back so he treated them all. He watched Floyd walk and saw he needed a wedge in one shoe to stabilize his gait. I definitely recommend this PT.
