Testimonials
Foundation Therapy is the best! After undergoing ACL and lateral meniscus repair surgery, I was fortunate to have been treated by Andrew, Kelli, and Chris, but truly, everyone at the clinic is amazing. From the moment you walk in, you’re treated like family. They were incredibly supportive throughout the recovery process. I’m beyond grateful for all the help and guidance they provided during my rehab, and I can’t recommend them enough to anyone seeking physical therapy. They genuinely care about your recovery journey, and their personalized approach made all the difference.
I have done very well with my shoulder. So much better… I love the staff at Foundation… I mostly worked with Kelly and I adore her… The staff are all friendly and professional at the same time, which makes it all work. Will use them again if needed!
Foundation Therapy is a top-notch facility! Everyone there knows you by name. They treat you like you are the only one there. They know what they are doing when it comes to your therapy needs as well. Went there for vestibular therapy (dizziness/balance). I am so much more confident with my balance after my therapy. All of the therapists, Stephen, Chris and Kelli treat you like family. The office staff, Ali, Sandra and Maudie are super helpful and friendly. I would recommend Foundation Therapy to anyone in need of physical therapy!
