Empower Physical Therapy

Fantastic experience: From the start, staff members of Empower Physical Therapy have been nothing short of amazing . Kristina was fabulous. She pushed to my limits. Amazing session. I look forward to seeing her again Friday.

Fantastic experience: Morgan and Rachel are amazing! I saw them for pelvic floor therapy after my second and third laparoscopies for Endo. In my case, I saw them for almost a full year. It’s hard to put into words everything these women did for me; they are consistent and have such dedication to their work. They went above and beyond what any practitioner or doctor has ever done, and I’m truly grateful for them. I know much more about my body, how it work's and how to advocate for myself. There is not yet a cure for endometriosis, but with everything I learned at Empower, I have more control over it. Thank you guys again. You’re very hard to replace!

Fantastic experience: I have had chronic mobility and pain issues for years. I spent the winter and spring with Empower in Anchorage. The PTs, PT Assistants, and support staff were wonderful. It was a team. They challenged me and I wanted to succeed. I am now ready for a great Alaskan summer. I plan to treat PT like my routine health. I will return in Sept to get ready for my winter plan. Thanks to all the staff they were phenomenal. If you want a team to help you meet your goals this is the place to be. Need to add to my review. I completed my 2023 PT in October. Again a phenomenal experience. Be upfront with your insurance needs and be very clear with the insurance dept at Empower before you proceed. But, boots on the ground the PT was the BEST. I had a Primary PT and the whole team. During my several month treatment plan I also had two PT students. I was made to feel like family. I had set appointments that met my needs. I was challenged every visit to be better than I was the time before. My goals were 100% met. I was able to get back to driving. I went through two surgeries coming out better each time. My pain was better managed by improving my physical capabilities and increasing my confidence. My condition is chronic and will not go away. But, by using Empower Physical Therapy in projected intervals over a 12-18 month cycle I can continue to work full time, enjoy the outdoors year round and camp during the summer with just my cane. If you read this trust the Team at Empower PT and Team Empower I hope you read this…..thank you for guiding me every step of the way.

Fantastic experience: This has been a great therapy experience for my high school daughter. She sprained her ankle and they were able to get her back up and moving on skis and snowshoes within 8 weeks. Can’t recommend the therapists there more highly. They trained her to help herself as well which is something she will carry forward with her into soccer season.

Fantastic experience: I was in PT for about 4 months for my back and pelvic floor. What I loved about Empower Physical Therapy is the therapists did not just throw a bunch of exercises at you and send you away after the session. They took their time to explain what the purpose of excercise is, how it helps correct your body and the proper way to do it. They taught me that there are additional avenues to manage pain when incorporated into your lifestyle. They are patient, very thorough, thoughtful and kind. The front desk staff was always friendly to me, even on my worst days. They took the time to make sure I was comfortable prior to starting my session and that everything was right with insurance so there were no surprises. I believe you get as much out of something as you put in. Ive gained so much knowledge about my body and the exercises taught to me has helped me get back into the things I like to do.

Fantastic experience: It was great working with the team. Everyone is super nice and helpful. I couldn’t recommend them more for your PT needs

Fantastic experience: I was sure I was headed in the direction of a knee replacement when I began therapy at Empower in Anchorage. I learned so much about muscle interaction that I'm confidant my knees will now remain pain-free with consistent, focused exercise at home. My balance has improved as well. The staff is friendly, efficient, and professional.

Fantastic experience: Heather was wonderful to work with. She taught me several exercises and stretches to decrease my pain level in my right shoulder. This way I can pick and choose which exercises I really like and will incorporate into my habits at home .

Fantastic experience: This is a remarkable place for Physical Therapy. All the Therapists and staff are wonderful. I have had 4 Therapists. They were all very knowledgeable, friendly, caring and professional. They lead me to achieve my goals. I will probably have to have more therapy after I have surgery and I plan to come back here. Thank you to everyone at the Muldoon location.

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing time here. I was having really bad pain & no one could tell me what was wrong & they helped my pain go away with amazing support & work outs.

Fantastic experience: Excellent communication, easy scheduling. I felt very cared about and that the plan was individualized to my needs. Rachel is amazing.

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Morgan and Rachel for Physical Therapy for my pregnancy since October and I feel good. I now have a better understanding of what muscles and techniques I can use to help me through labor and delivery and I have felt a significant difference in regards to the pain that I was experiencing early on. Thank you so much to your amazing team.

Fantastic experience: I sprained my ankle quite badly in February and started PT here in March. Trained with them until May and now I am all set to spend my summer in rural Alaska! This is a very inclusive and supportive environment and I felt really encouraged to move my body in a way that I hadn’t since before Covid. All of the staff are so nice and wonderful and I definitely recommend working with Kristina! Thank you Empower! Y’all rock!

Fantastic experience: They were very welcoming and understanding! Knowledgeable and patient! Morgan helped me learn a lot about my pelvic floor muscles through PT. I feel more confident in managing my pain and anxiety regarding my pelvic health. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I saw Morgan and Rachel for pelvic floor therapy after having my baby and I cannot say enough good things about this clinic! We addressed all of my issues and organized a great program! I feel so much stronger coming out of the program! I would definitely recommend them for anyone looking to strengthen their pelvic floor postpartum or just in general. Plus, everyone here is so kind!

Fantastic experience: Empower PT is like a family. My practitioner made sure that the other PTs knew of my condition and could step in at any moment. I love Kristina Buck and Andrew especially!!! The front desk, Hanna was amazing!

Fantastic experience: Everyone at Empower Physical Therapy was so welcoming and a pleasure to work with. Everything was very simple and streamlined from the paperwork, billing and scheduling. I had a great time working through my program and would recommend them to anyone needing physical therapy!

Fantastic experience: Morgan and Rachel helped me so much after my pregnancy. They helped me a lot with my pelvic floor and hip pain in general. They explain things very well and walk me through everything. I can’t thank them enough!

Fantastic experience: I loved this empower physical therapy. I came in when I was in great abdomen(pelvis floor) pain and I couldn’t sleep well but after taking therapy appointment with my therapist Rachel stokes my life changed really well and I started to sleep better. EPT is an excellent therapy place. People from reception are really friendly too. I have been enjoying my visits. Don’t hesitate to make appointments with EPT. I really recommend you to contact them anytime.

Fantastic experience: I went to Empower Physical Therapy early on in my pregnancy after having a back spasm. They were super helpful! Staff is wonderful and attentive. They were really easy to work with. Scheduling was easy. I would highly recommend them!

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Rachel, a pelvic floor specialist, for a few months now and can’t believe the change I can see in my daily life. I have had significant pain that has limited me to enjoying aspects of my life. Today, I know my body so much better and can engage muscles I felt like no longer existed. I can’t thank her enough and empower for allowing me the opportunity to know what feeling good is and realizing I deserve that!

Fantastic experience: I started PT with Morgan for pelvic floor pain associated with my pregnancy at 19 weeks when I couldn’t stay standing long enough to cook and could no longer go on walks. After a couple weeks of dedicated work with Morgan I was back to being able to stand for long periods and then as we progressed, though my belly was getting bigger, I was able to start going on over hour long walks. Doing PT with Morgan made in measurable difference in my pregnancy journey and I plan on coming back postpartum to ensure I’m on track to maintain bladder control and stay pain free long term.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Empower PT!! Their staff is very knowledgeable and the quality of care is unmatched. I continue to return as needed because their staff are some of the best people I have worked with, they truly care about YOU getting better! They even offer dry needling which I highly recommend. I used to feel like I had a 10lb kid hanging on my shoulders but dry needling has forever changed that. They have Anchorage and Wasilla locations! Make an appointment today, you won’t regret it!!

Fantastic experience: I have been attending physical therapy sessions for my leg and lower back for 3 months and have noticed a marked improvement. The exercises that they gave me really helped my pain. I know if I continue with these exercises I will continue to improve and strengthen my core as well as back and leg muscles. Thanks so much for your expert instruction and guidance. All Empower therapists were wonderful, especially Heather!

Fantastic experience: It is impossible for me to overstate the difference that my therapists at Empower Physical Therapy have made in my life! I went from being basically bedridden for ~10 years with traumatic back injuries, to being able to coach baseball, work around the house, and do all of the other things needed of me as the stay at home dad of 2 boys. Every single person at EPT has treated me like family and make it clear every visit that they are fully invested in my recovery. When I first started, I thought that all for the providers were old friends from high school or something as they all treat each other like family as well . I don’t think it will be possible for me to ever feel at home at another clinic. I can’t thank them all enough. I greatly look forward to our continued time together!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing. This is my third pregnancy, but first time going to PT, and I feel more prepared for this delivery than with either of my prior 2. I’ve been coming since about 18 weeks, and currently 35. My pelvic floor is stronger than it has been in years. Morgan and Rachel work some magic here, and the whole team is so amazing, welcoming, and accommodating to me bringing my 2 young kids in with me.

Fantastic experience: I was having severe ligament pain with this pregnancy, after just 2 weeks I was seeing a huge difference. After doing a whole month and nearing the end of my third trimester I feel so much better and it’s thanks to this clinic. AMAZING staff and personal trainers! Best PT I’ve ever experienced. HIGHLY recommend.

Fantastic experience: Well today was my final day. I’ve been going twice a week for 2 months and then once a week for a month. Awesome group of therapists who are super friendly and knowledgeable. Very clean facility! Thanks for the great work getting me pain free!

Fantastic experience: In my early pregnancy I was experiencing horrible sciatic nerve pain. Been coming here since I was 19 week’s pregnant all the way up to 35 weeks and I feel amazing. Gave me great exercises and tips on how to manage and relieve my pain. I have little to no pain. 100% recommend all pregnant women to come get Empower’s support.

Fantastic experience: I loved the progress I made . They went above and beyond helping me to have better bladder control. The pelvic floor exercises have helped immensely !

Fantastic experience: Empower PT has been the best thing I’ve done for myself in a long time! Morgan got me back to better than I was prior to my babies, and I’m so grateful!

Fantastic experience: I had a really wonderful experience at Empower! Everyone is very friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. I will definitely return to them if I ever have any other PT needs.

Fantastic experience: Traveled up from the lower 48 and we all know how that goes ….. sore back and shoulders. Got in touch with Zoey at the front desk and she has such bubbly personality and is amazing. She was suggested that I meet with Ryan Pope and get in for dry needling. She got me scheduled next day and Ryan got to work. I was a dry needle novice and what he was able to accomplish in 3 short visits is what usually takes me weeks to get accomplished with my traditional chiropractor. Job well done gang!! Love, love, love that bearded man!! ❤️

Fantastic experience: I've come here for PT for two different issues, and they've helped me so much with both. I have EDS and they have a protocol specifically for EDS, which has helped me get from frequent hip collapsing and falls, and neck pain so bad that I have to lay down, to not having to lay down from neck pain, and no more falls. Because their protocol is in a book, I can even reference it myself at home, and do my own maintenance!

Fantastic experience: Heather is amazing at dry needling! Hailey is incredibly helpful with managing appointments and finding the best time to fit your needs! Drew is kind and personable!

Fantastic experience: I started physical therapy during my 2nd trimester of pregnancy. Rachel is AMAZING! I love her attention to detail and how she explains what muscles are working together for each exercise/stretch. Highly recommend Empower Physical Therapy Anchorage.

Fantastic experience: I am in Anchorage for the summer and needed a PT during that time for my pelvic floor. I’ve had both Rachel and Morgan who are PT specialist. They are both absolutely amazing and I have noticed a huge difference. I would recommend empower to anyone looking for a pelvic floor PT!

Fantastic experience: Wonderful experience at Empower. I’ve worked primarily with Rachel as well as Morgan. I’ve felt a big improvement in my physical symptoms during pregnancy. All the staff has been very friendly and accommodating as well. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely loved my time here and would come back again. The staff was very friendly, encouraging, and knowledgeable and the environment was always positive and welcoming. Each PT took their time to adjust my exercises as needed and listened to my concerns. Would 10/10 recommend.

Fantastic experience: Heather and Mariah were awesome! Not only did I really enjoy my physical therapy time and improvement but I also enjoyed coming in weekly just to talk to them as we worked through my exercises. Amazing staff from the front desk to all assistants and doctors! Madison, Andrew and Hayley also played amazing roles in my Empower experience! Highly recommend!!!

Fantastic experience: One of the many things that sets Empower apart (and above) from another PT place I tried in Anchorage was that everyone knows you and greets you when you arrive - even if they're not "your" PT. I had the opposite experience at another PT place - I was ignored even when I couldn't find my crutches - I couldn't even get an employee to make eye contact with me. Physical therapy can be SUCH an emotionally vulnerable endeavor - you really need a place like Empower to support you when your body is seriously (or mildly) injured. Huge props to Kristina and all the awesome practitioners and staff there! Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful experience at Empower Physical Therapy in anchorage. For most of my visits I saw Kristina and she helped with my shoulder and hip pains I originally came in for. The sessions in person had me doing a wide variety of exercises for both my hip and my shoulder. Kristina demonstrated and explained each excessive very clearly and ensured I wasn’t in any pain when doing them. My symptoms would flare up from time to time during my time at Empower. At the beginning of each session they would check in and see how I was doing. If either of my Shoulder or hip was bothering more that day we would focus on that area. After a session I would leave feeling much better than I came in with my pain at a manageable level. I cannot recommend Empower Physical Therapy enough

Fantastic experience: Excellent support at Empower! Have had lower back issues for years, they helped me work through a tightened hip issue and then progressive phys therapy to loosen and then strengthen everything up. Also had me try dry needling, absolutely worth it, I feel great!

Fantastic experience: My wife had PT here after breaking her wrist. The therapy team was TOP notch. They were compassionate, well trained and fun for her to work with! She "graduated" in just 6 weeks and we are totally satisfied with the level of professionalism and service we received. Recommend this group to anyone who need physical therapy to recover from an injury or surgery.

Fantastic experience: Everyone at Empower is so friendly and kind! The work they gave me was just what I needed to increase my strength and decrease my pain. Morgan, Andrew, Kristina, and Khyati are amazing providers and Hayley is the kindest receptionist. My kids loved coming to see the team every week.

Fantastic experience: I had lower back pain for a long time. Had to go to pt. Very nice helpful staff. Everyone friendly and helpful. Would recommend to everyone. Did help my back pain and getting better. Keeping up with exercises to continue getting stronger.

Fantastic experience: After surgery, I was referred by my Dr. I could barely walk, had limited range of motion and pain, amongst other symptoms. I highly recommend Dr. Morgan and team. Morgan will push you to excel. All the staff (Andrew, etc...) are very respectful and kind as well. I have improved so much, walking, stairs, etc...all items impacted by pelvic physical therapy. Part of my sessions were in a private room for privacy. I appreciate their sensitivity and professionalism. I recommend them highly.

Fantastic experience: I was referred by my obgyn and highly recommend anyone going through pregnancy to see Morgan at Empower. She helped me with my mobility and sciatica pain management, even allowing for my husband to come in a learn techniques to assist with home care. She also provided education and techniques for birthing prep and the first 6 weeks of postpartum. Morgan has been an amazing resource throughout my pregnancy journey and I will be requesting another referral to go back for my postpartum recovery.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to Empower Physical Therapy for almost 3 months. Today is my last day and I feel like I am leaving my family. When I first walked in I saw the smiling faces of the receptionists. Everyone is so kind and helpful. My therapy has improved my condition immensely and hopefully I will no longer need surgery. I highly recommend Empower Physical Therapy to anyone who needs physical therapy and wants to work with caring professionals in a pleasant and beautiful atmosphere. -Karen

Fantastic experience: I started my journey to wellness with Empower over a year ago, when I had painful postpartum lower back problems that were affecting my whole life. I can honestly say that from the minute I walked in until the day I left, every single staff member made me feel welcome, cared for and were my cheerleaders every step of the way. The back and core strength that I gained there allowed me to start working out again, and I’m now down 30lbs from when I started. I can also keep up with my 4 year old! I highly recommend anyone in pain or imbalance to work with the professionals at Empower PT, they will absolutely get you on the path back to wellness.
