Specialized Physical Therapy

Specialized Physical Therapy has made such a positive impact on my health and quality of life that I want other people searching for help with orthopedic or neurological pain to be aware of a company that stands head and shoulders above the rest. Over the years I have been seen by a number of physical therapists. They were «fine» in dealing with acute issue but eventually I was told that I was «the best I could hope to be». Over 3 yrs ago I became a patient of SPT because of chronic back and neck pain. From day one my experience in the SPT clinic was vastly different from any of the other clinics and to this day, it has remained that way. I continue to receive treatment that takes into account my individual history, current needs and future lifestyle goals. As owners of SPT, Aimee and Bill Feldhake seem to always choose investing in their therapists education, workplace satisfaction and patient needs over maximizing their income. I believe that it is because of their commitment to their employees and patients that, although Bill is my primary therapist, I have found all of the PT’s to be equally as attentive, caring and skilled. The bottom line is that the treatment I receive allows me to live my life in a way that otherwise would not be possible. Similarly, I have seen patients enter treatment in excruciation pain for any and all types of injuries and illness. I have also watched those same patients complete treatment pain-​free. Although I may not ever be pain-​free, Specialized Physical Therapy continues to treat my chronic back /​neck problem and make it possible for me to live each day without having to endure the kind of pain that in the past prevented me from being able to enjoy my life. I don’t think I will ever find the right way to thank them.

I had achilles surgery so I could run again in August of ’14, and after a torturous amount of time on crutches, they sent me to physical therapy. I chose a place that was less than impressive, wasn’t getting anything out of the expensive sessions, so I quit and decided I didn’t need PT. A few months later, still limping very badly on the right due to the surgery, I also started limping on the left, because I was all off kilter. In late April, 8 months after my surgery, I was at wits end, certain I would always limp, be in pain, I met with Jenna of Specialized. I still remember telling her, practically in tears, how I would never run again, and her saying that there was a LOT she could do for me, and not to give up hope. We met twice a week for a while, then once, and now we are meeting every two weeks. I have a plethora of crazy exercises, a bunch of rubber bands, balance board, Bosu ball, and a foam roller… and I am pretty dedicated to doing all she asks of me. Beyond this, however, and what I think really got me moving forward, is the manual work Jenna provides during our sessions. I HATE dry needling,…but it works. I swear her fingers are the pokiest fingers on the planet, that hone in on the most painful points of my achilles… but it works. The massaging, poking, prodding, needling, and manipulation gave my muscles the push needed. I am now just a few weeks away from working back into running. Wish me luck!

Russell was very helpful with knee and ankle issues. He was honest with me and helped me with integrity and dedication. Billing and scheduling were always easy and painless. Thanks for all the help!

Jeff is knowledgeable and intuitive when it comes to the comprehensive treatment you receive.

I was in Specialized PT for a strained biceps tendon with other effects on my shoulder from a muscle injury. My PT was Beth and she was incredible. Appointments are easy to make and the business itself is very easy to find. Heads up if you go, parking is to the south of the building which is never a problem to find a spot. This is especially huge being on S. Pearl St. Would definitely recommend it to anyone, especially Beth. She was very patient and understanding my issue. She put me on the road to recovery.

I have been a patient of Specialized Physical Therapy for nearly 2 years. After having three other PT’s from other clinics and injuries that have been very difficult to navigate my therapist at Specialized PT has helped me more than anyone! I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Even after my most recent surgery I was ‘encouraged’ to seek other PT’s but I can’t imagine getting my care from anywhere else. It also helps that the front office is extremely polite and always accommodating of my schedule. If you are looking for a true partner in helping you get through your PT, I HIGHLY recommend Soecialized Physical Therapy.

Over the course of about 10 years I’ve been a patient of Jeff Coverly, PT for three separate problems. Jeff is knowledgeable in his diagnoses and direct in his therapy. In one instance he was able to correct a problem where an orthopedic physician had recommended arthroscopic surgery. PT was definitely a preferable solution! I would not hesitate to see Jeff again.

I have just started seeing Aimee but would say she has done a better job understanding my hip and back issues than any other phys therapist. I like that I can go to specialized pilates to strengthen certain parts of my body wiht someone onsite who knows what there doing! The lady upfront is very friendly as well. I will come back and review it again, but so far, so great!

Kate has provided such top notch therapy that my back pain has significantly diminished. Or, it’s more manageable now.
I like coming here because Kate is very personable and even as I look around to the other patients and therapists, they all seem to be engaged in conversation while giving/​being treated.
Kudos!

This place goes by multiple names … Specialized PT, Coverly PT, Feldhake PT. I was looking for a PT near my house after i tore my calf muscle. Bonus, Specialized PT is a Blue Cross preferred provider that takes care of all billing (so i only have to make a small co-​pay). They were able to get me scheduled pretty quickly, and Kim started working her magic. After one PT visit, i was able to ditch the crutches and walk with a limp. After 2 more visits, no limp. My leg is still stiff and sore, so i’ll keep going to Kim for a few more visits. But i have no doubt that Kim gets the credit for my speedy recovery! The front office staff is also very helpful and friendly. My only minor complaint is the communal PT room with lots of exercise equipment and tables … it can get a bit noisy with lots of patients and physical therapists all talking at once and working out together. But i also recognize that this helps keep their costs reasonable.
