Joel is an amazing physical therapist! He always listens to me and creates a treatment plan around my goals! The buckeye location is very nice. Joel has seen most all of my family and has helped them all. I’m very grateful for Joel and all his help!

I brought my daughter in for an injury from volleyball. Her specialist, Joel, did a tremendous job with her and her rehab went smoothly. Her at-home exercises were well explained and the clinic visits helped her heal quickly. I would definitely recommend.

Injured my shoulder while weight lifting. It was a lingering problem for a long time and I was always hesitant to use it. I went here to see Joel and a few neck cracks and some suggested shoulder workouts later, my shoulder has never felt better! I’m not afraid to use it anymore and it’s the strongest it’s ever felt!

This team does not just fix minor injuries but covers the entire range successfully. Each visit has been led by Dr. Joel Kramer and supported by a group of assistants. Dr. Kramer knows EXACTLY what exercise plan to develop (i.e., each plan was different for the two injured shoulders).
