Fantastic experience: Everyone from the front desk to the therapist are welcoming, pleasant, informative and professional.everyone greets you when they see you. It is close to where I live as well. The environment is clean and everyone is very helpful. I’m glad I chose this office for my therapy.they pair you with a therapist that specializes in your type type of injury or deficit.

Fantastic experience: THE RECEPTIONIST VERY NICE SWEET ALWAYS RESPECTFUL AND GREET U COMING IN AND LEAVING OUT. ERIC IS THE BEST THERAPIST I HAVE WORKED WITH SINCE I HAVE HAD THERAPY I WOULD RECOMMEND STRIVE TO ANYONE WHO NEEDS THERAPY

Fantastic experience: I was treated very well every one was nice if I had any other problems I would choose strive for my therapy thank you all for your service

Fantastic experience: I enjoy my time at strive. They are professional and time effective.

Fantastic experience: Everyone there are awesome. My therapist Ryan is a cool guy. The girls up front are very professional and friendly. I have nothing negative to say about Strive.

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, exercise are easy and helping me with after spinal surgery. Would recommend this place for all

Fantastic experience: I rehabbed at Strive with Katie after an ACL repair. I looked forward to every PT session. Rehab is as much a mental effort as well as physical and I felt like Katie was by my side the entire journey. I would give more stars if I could!

Fantastic experience: Strive is a great place for therapy. All the therapist care and put in the work to make you better. They always give you a 100% and at all times

Fantastic experience: I came in with 8/10 back pain even with 3 g Tylenol each day. Katie (& her crew) brought me down to no back pain (or 2/10 if I’m not careful) and no Tylenol. A big success for an old lady! The office staff is friendly, too, which made the whole experience satisfactory.

Fantastic experience: Best PT office I've been too. I am enjoying treatment thus far. You can truly feel the expertise and care throughout your session. Definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Stive PT! Their therapists are very attentive and always guide you through new exercises at every visit. They're also super easy to schedule with and send text reminders before appointments (which I found very helpful). Katie is my PT and she is AMAZING! She's a good listener and always has a positive attitude. The general vibe of the office is relaxed and inclusive. Most visits go by quickly because I'm always having fun conversations with the staff and other patients!

Fantastic experience: Amazing treatment from everyone there. Justin & Katie were both fantastic in my rehab for my ankle. I would suggest them to anyone who is looking for PT.

Fantastic experience: Julia Kajen is hands down the best physical therapist I’ve ever had. I went to see her after a long overdue foot surgery, and issues that arose because of my Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. It is hard to find PTs who have expertise with EDS, so I appreciate her taking an interest in this, and helping me create maintenance routines to regain mobility and reduce pain. She is very intelligent and happy to help educate patients and work within their parameters and abilities (but she will still push you to improve, don’t worry!). Julia is skilled and competent, but I would say my favorite thing about her is her personality. She has a lovely sense of humor, and is truly a unique and enjoyable person to be around, which made me excited to go to physical therapy each week. I cannot recommend her enough.

Fantastic experience: I love Strive! I had my first appointment today and it was incredible. Friendly staff, clean office, awesome atmosphere. 10/10 recommend!

Fantastic experience: They are AMAZING! It is a comfortable atmosphere and they push you to your best ability(and probably more). Yea you will be sore for a couple of days but it’s worth it in the long run!!

Fantastic experience: I love Strive! I had my first appointment today and it was incredible. Friendly staff, clean office, awesome atmosphere. 10/10 recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great experience! Helped to fix my shoulder problem. All the Physical Therapists are great to work with. New facility is always clean and welcoming.

Fantastic experience: I had such a wonderful experience here. Many fond memories. I coach gymnastics and I excitingly haven't throw my back out once while under the care of Julia Kajen. I learned the exercises needed to balance my body and strengthen it in the right areas to prevent injuries. Forever grateful for all that she and the team at Strive have done for me.

Fantastic experience: I saw Julia Kajen for pelvic floor therapy and I have nothing but great things to say! She made me so comfortable, listened to all of my concerns, individualized my treatment, and I had a very pleasant and speedy recovery! I have been to many other physical therapists and another pelvic floor therapist, and Julia will forever be one of the most knowledgeable, empathetic, and helpful! I would 100% recommend Julia and Strive PT!

Fantastic experience: Julia at Strive in Center City is the absolute best!!! I saw her for both general and pelvic physical therapy and she consistently made me feel like a teammate in my care. She also made me feel so comfortable talking about intimate details of my life so we could pinpoint how to get me fully recovered in all aspects of life. Give this woman a raise and a promotion!!!

Fantastic experience: "Will I ever be the same again?" That was the first question I asked back in November, after a very bad snowboarding accident. I couldn't turn my head at all. Even the sound of a door opening felt like nails in my brain. Will I ever be able to navigate the city normally again? I wondered after my first visit at Strive. We started off with tracking a popsicle stick with just my eyes, a herculean task that left me feeling nauseated. Will I ever be able to balance on one leg again? I wondered after my first month at Strive. We moved to standing on different surfaces, trying to get my body to trust itself again. Will I ever be able to play sports again? I wondered after New Years passed at Strive. We were learning how to shift weight across the body and onto a particular side. Each time I wondered if I would ever make it back to what I considered normal. And each time the people at Strive believed I would, and made it so.

Fantastic experience: Nothing but the absolute best! Everyone is patient, professional, and oh so kind. I went to a previous physical therapist for spine and nerve pain and ended injured twice simply because the therapist wasn’t paying attention to my individual issues! Strive is amazing. They understood that, though I’m pretty healthy and active, I needed a routine catered to my specific issues. If you are in pain, call them now. Seriously. Their the best.

Fantastic experience: Julia Kajan is a phenomenal PT. She is extremely knowledgeable, especially for patients with hypermobility. I've benefited from working with many PTs in my life, but Julia is the most skilled at helping me hone the strength training exercises that help me - recording me doing my exercises correctly and verbally walking me through them on my smart phone so that I can see them when I'm home - rather than just printing me out a page from a handbook. PT is truly a calling and a mission for Julia, rather than just a job. I travel 45 mins to see her now and it is 100% worth it for me to get to work with her. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Fantastic experience: This place is the best I’ve been to- I had 2 lumbar stenosis surgeries so I have been in a lot of pain since September of 2021. Julia was excellent - her massage and cupping techniques feel amazing. I could hardly do any of the stretches at first. But Julia kept encouraging me and challenging me . She’s ingenious in that she always had something new for me to do . So I never got bored. With Julia and other staff- I strengthened core and my upper body. She is so kind and understanding. Very sweet and knows her stuff. I still need a few more sessions . But have gone back to California. I wish I find someone even as close to her stretching and balance techniques. Strive needs to get 10 star review!!!!

Fantastic experience: The team at Strive PT is incredible! My daughter is in there with knee issues and they have been incredible. She has seen every doctor and they all are great. We have had to reschedule a few appointments and they are VERY accommodating. We can not recommend them enough!

Fantastic experience: The staff at Strive are top notch, from the front desk to the therapists. Jess is a fantastic Physical Therapist who has played a big role in helping me manage my neck/shoulder/jaw pain through exercises &providing education. I keep coming back and my pain gets immediately better after a few sessions. Thanks Jess and Strive staff.

Fantastic experience: I don't leave reviews often, but just wanted to say what a positive experience I had in physical therapy at STRIVE. It was easy to get appointments which did not conflict with my 9-5 work schedule. My physical therapist was extremely knowledgable, caring, and encouraging.

Fantastic experience: After a very debilitating period of my life, Julia helped me get back on my feet in so many ways. The staff makes sure they know every patient by name and always make you feel warm and welcomed. Can’t recommend Strive enough!!

Fantastic experience: I worked with Julia at Strive for a few months on some exercise induced knee pain. She was great and got me back to pain free running within a few months! Cannot recommend her and the rest of the awesome team here enough

Fantastic experience: I started going to Strive when I was having some knee pain after running a marathon. Jessica was so helpful and got me back running again very quickly! She was also quick to help when I started having back and glute pain. Working with Strive helped me recover so much faster, and I genuinely enjoyed my PT appointments. I couldn’t recommend Strive more!

Fantastic experience: Shout out to the team at thrive for their dedication and patience helping put my shoulder back together. Jessica and Julia were super helpful in my journey back to playing sports again, and providing a warm environment each day I was there!

Fantastic experience: I came in with a lot of lower back pain and tight hips. I worked with Jess and she did an amazing job to relieve my pain and strengthen my lower back and core. I no longer have any pain. She made the exercises easy to do that I can continue my PT work on my own time now. Everyone there is very friendly and easy to talk to. They keep the area very clean and are constantly wiping down equipment after each patient. Making appointments is very easy and they are flexible and understanding if you need to reschedule for any reason. Location is also very easy to get to. If your ever in need of a PT in center city, I would highly recommend Strive.

Fantastic experience: I worked with Julia Kajen due to ongoing pelvic floor issues and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone seeking treatment. Julia makes patients feel comfortable and provides thorough guidance and advice. Her kind personality and compassion for her patients show, can't recommend her enough!

Fantastic experience: I am so pleased to have been treated by Julia Kajen for pelvic floor disorder. I had lost all hope having tried other therapists . Within a matter of weeks I started to feel much better and now after a full course of treatment everything is wonderful Thank you Julia you gave me my life back Albert

Fantastic experience: I saw Dr. Julia Kajen for ongoing pelvic floor issues related to endometriosis post-surgery. I had seen other pelvic floor physical therapists before, but none met me with such care, understanding, and knowledge of the body and mind. She takes a whole body approach and wants to make sure her patients feel heard, comfortable, and leave her care feeling equipped with the tools needed to continue feeling their best long after visits to the clinic end. I glowed about Dr. Kajen to all my friends after each session because after a life of medical gaslighting and dismissing as a person with multiple chronic illnesses, I truly never felt more taken care of than in her very capable hands. She’s also ridiculously funny and one of the kindest humans you’ll ever meet. I’ve since continued with my at-home exercises and most of the issues pelvic health issues I had coming into Strive with are gone! The office is kept very clean. There is a separate room for pelvic floor therapy to work one-on-one on your issues with your PT. It’s a very central location so it’s easy to get to. All of the other staff at Strive are also amazing!

Fantastic experience: The physical therapists at Strive are great. I’ve gotten stronger and more confident in my knee with each visit. Online access to the therapists and exercises at home make it easy to progress at hone as well. It’s always a fun time when I go in because the staff is so focused on you and personable. After my therapy, I got in a car accident and reinsured my leg. I returned to therapy after some time to rehab my knee and had my final appointment today. I feel like my knee is essentially back to normal and I learned new ways to keep strengthening it and to keep building stability. I’m very grateful for the care I received from Jessica and Julia. They really knew multiple ways to challenge and progress me and were always able to explain exactly why we were doing certain things. You can tell they are experts in their professions and that they enjoy working with people. All of the patients seem really happy to be there (myself included). I’m so glad I went to Stive for physical therapy. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Strive PT is amazing! The space,the friendliness,the phenomenal therapists -I would recommend Strive very highly! Jessica Freedman is wonderful and caring and a great therapist She is encouraging and pushes you to be your best self!! Thank you,Jess,Katie and Julia! I’ll come to visit minus injuries!!

Fantastic experience: I worked with Jessica Friedman and her team for the past few months to rehabilitate my knee after an injury. I feel better now than even before my injury, and I’m excited to get back to doing the exercises I love! Jessica gives you a realistic care plan, shows the exercises to you in office, doesn’t make you repeat what you’re doing at home unless there’s a concern, and doesn’t keep you in PT longer than you need to be. I highly recommend Strive PT!

Fantastic experience: Julia has been great to work with! She keeps me informed on how I'm progressing and what I can work on.She answers all of my questions that I throw her way and shows me new exercises on how to improve my range of motion and strength on my injured shoulder and she explains just how the body works.I am extremely happy that I found Strive!

Fantastic experience: I was referred here after experiencing a lot of pain and after a few weeks my symptoms have been improving! I have been working with Julia and she has been extremely helpful and professional throughout the process and is always willing to answer my many questions. Sam at the front desk is also so helpful! I would definitely recommend Strive to others looking for physical therapy.

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough about how great this facility has been to me. From Julia and Julia (yes there's two) to Alex, Mel and Sam they're all very personable and make you feel welcome. They're my first physical therapy experience and I don't think I could've asked or wished for a better group. They've been clear and transparent about pricing, how my insurance will impact cost and notifying me any time they are going to charge my card. On top of it all? My back is feeling great and I'm almost back to 100%.

Fantastic experience: My first ever PT experience and it was amazing! Everyone at the office was amazing and willing to help out. I was challenged in the best way each visit and always left with a smile. My knee recovered faster than we expected and I owe it all to them! Some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet and will make you feel like family. So sad to be leaving :(

Fantastic experience: The team at Strive PT is incredible! Coming in for help with a rugby injury they worked with me to find unique exercises that resemble the situations I would encounter in a game. On top of the PT itself, the office is in a great location, scheduling is a breeze, and at-home exercises are accessible on-line or on paper. I recommend Strive PT to anyone who is looking for a physical therapist.

Fantastic experience: Strive goes above and beyond to cater to the needs of its patients. The center is clean and well stocked with all you could need during your recovery. The whole team is incredibly welcoming and friendly. The front desk staff is delightful and always thoughtful and understanding about scheduling. They are proactive, especially during the Covid crisis, about safe practices. Julia (my PT) is patient and understanding while still motivating me to continue pushing myself to recover. I highly recommend anyone who needs physical therapy to use this facility and it’s physical therapists.

Fantastic experience: They have very nice staff and experienced PT. I had my therapy with Julia, and she was absolutely amazing in figuring out the cause of the pain right away which I've had for 6 months. Their entire staff is very friendly and helpful! It's very rare to find a good PT spot, and this is definitely one of the best!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Strive for your PT needs! The team at the Center City location are awesome. Julia is very knowledgeable and thorough with her therapy plans, explaining the 'whys' behind the 'whats' for your exercises. She makes sure you have the tools, knowledge and confidence to perform the workouts at home correctly, and pushes you the right amount to maximize your time in the office. Jack is also great and very flexible with scheduling. He's been able to accommodate my varying work schedule and adjust my appointments accordingly. The location couldn't be more convenient for me as it is right in the business district with flexible hours. I have used this location for my current injury as well and my prior one. I also feel very confident with the vacation coverage they provide with John and know I am always in good hands. 10/10

Fantastic experience: I went to Strive Philadelphia. Julia is wonderful. She is very knowledgeable and skilled. She will push you as much as is helpful, but will never cause you unnecessary pain or ask you to go beyond what is comfortable for you. She is patient and encouraging. I made tremendous progress with her and highly recommend Strive Philly. The office is conveniently located, and I never had a problem getting an appointment that is convenient - phone was always answered quickly by Jack, and he always found an open appointment. This office made a world of difference for my injury recovery.

Fantastic experience: Strive PT was great. My therapist Julia was very knowledgeable. With her help, I made great progress in a very short period of time. Jack did a great job accommodating my crazy schedule. I am grateful for the excellent care and service provided. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Strive for any rehabilitative needs. I had an acute ankle sprain, and was set up with Strive PT for six weeks. Steven is very knowledgable, patient, encouraging, and takes time to answer any questions and address concerns. He listens, and cares about all clients. Following his instructions, and making every scheduled appointment resulted in my ankle healing and being able to get back to full gym workouts, including legs. The entire staff are incredible, friendly. For anyone reading this, there is no need to look anywhere else for PT needs.
