Kinetic Edge Physical Therapy: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Was having back issues and had the pleasure of working with James & Katie. They were both professional and took the time to listen. They provided alternative methods that were easier on my back and exercises that helped me build the strength to remedy the pain. Would return again in a heartbeat, but I hope I don’t have to.
Thank you so much for your 5-star review, Josh! We are pleased to hear that you've had a positive experience with us.
Fantastic experience: The folks at Kinetic Edge are kind professionals and creative problem solvers. They have treated both me and my son over the years and I can’t say enough nice things about them.
Thank you for your 5-star review, Jason! Glad that you have had a positive experience!
Positive experience: I had PT with Kinetic Edge for twelve weeks following a stroke, in order to work on improving my balance and strength. I started out with Emma, a therapist that I really liked. Due scheduling issues, I had other therapists for several weeks, which caused some inconsistency in my care. At my evaluation with Emma, I showed significant emprovement in strength and balance and was given a helpful updated schedule of exercises to continue.
Thank you for your review, Jane! We are so happy to hear that you are doing so much better. Our goal is always to keep the therapist interacting with our clients to a small number of intentional teammates. We will take your feedback to better communicate and schedule going forward!
Fantastic experience: Back in February I tore my distal bicep tendon. Completely torn off my forearm. Emma at Kinetic Edge helped me get my arm back into working order so I could continue my career in construction. She built a workout program around my arm focusing on stability and strength. I would recommend Kinetic Edge to anyone who needs PT. Everyone from the front desk to the Physical Therapists are friendly and helpful.
Thank you for your 5-star review, Dillon! We are pleased to hear your great experience with Kinetic Edge!
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with Emma at Kinetic Edge PT. She was super helpful in helping me to rehabilitate my shoulder from gym-related injuries. My body is still recovering some, but she helped me to understand the problem better and educated me on techniques to reduce strain and prepare/recover to hopefully keep it from happening again. I would absolutely recommend Kinetic Edge and Emma!
Thanks so much for the review, Zach! We are so happy to hear your great experience with KE!
Fantastic experience: My son Lincoln sees Tessa for OT. She is very knowledgeable in her field but also does a fantastic job of making it make sense for us. Her tone and demeanor is very calm which is great for Lincoln. She makes fun activities to build skills and he loves coming every week. She gives good feedback and things to work on at home. The building is clean and all of the other staff is always warm and inviting. I recommend anyone in need of physical or occupational therapy to check out Kinetic Edge on grand avenue in West Des Moines.
Thank you for the 5-star review, Brooke! We are so glad to hear about you and your son's great experience with Kinetic Edge.
Fantastic experience: Best physical therapy I found in the Des Moines area
Thank you for your review, Lori! We are so happy to hear your positive experience!
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Kinetic Edge PT. They were extremely flexible, allowing and arranging for me to visit satellite office while traveling for work. The entire staff was extremely knowledgeable and professional. I felt everyone there took a personal interest in my recovery. If I ever need PT in the future, I will definitely return.
Thank you for your kind words, Lisa! We are happy to hear you've had a great experience with KE!
Fantastic experience: Todd and James quickly helped me rehab an old injury that has nagged me for a few years. Their diagnosis, treatment, and at-home programming made an incredible difference. I’m very thankful for their work.
Thanks so much for sharing your experience!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Kinetic Edge for any of your physical therapy needs. I am a local chiropractor and they are absolutely the first clinic I send my patients to when they are in need of physical therapy evaluation and management. I always receive excellent feedback from those patients about their experience with Kinetic Edge. I have had multiple professional interactions with their staff and their knowledge and commitment to providing elite physical therapy services is clearly evident.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us, Kirk! We greatly appreciate it!
Fantastic experience: Todd and James helped me immensely with hip pain. when I came to them I couldn’t bend forward. Todd helped me relearn how to bend with so much kindness.I can now continue my soccer games with zero pain. I highly recommend their treatment as they have a lot of knowledge and on top of that they treat you professionally, they genuinely listened to me about my concerns and fears and never made me feel uncomfortable about any movements we worked on. Top tier care.
Thank you so much for your 5-star review, Kamilla! Thrilled to hear your positive experience with Kinetic Edge!
Fantastic experience: Very professional. Great listeners. Always helpful therapy. I look forward to every visit.
So great to hear, Jim! Thanks so much for your feedback!
Fantastic experience: I have chronic migraines and didn’t know I could be going to PT for help. I started seeing Lisa in October, after a whiplash injury, and will maintain treatment as long as she’ll see me! I’ve learned more about my sensitive brain in the last three months than in the last three years living with chronic migraine. She referred me to a new specialist and views my chronic pain in a different way than any other PT I’ve seen. Every other provider I’ve met is friendly and helpful, can’t recommend this office enough!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Claire! We're so glad it's been great!
Fantastic experience: Todd, James, and the whole crew are great! They put the patient first and are exceptionally warm and gracious. I highly recommend them!!!
Thanks for the review Robert. We are glad you enjoyed your experience at our Des Moines clinic!
Fantastic experience: My Orthopedic Surgeon sent me to Dr. Kaity Hall. He said that he sends all of his hip patients to her. I had hip pain for over a year and I am only 53. I am in otherwise excellent health. I had some mild arthritis and injections helped only for a short time. My surgeon said that some patients feel the arthritis differently and I might need to get a hip replacement. Dr. Hall worked with me and explored every avenue and she found the exact problem. With corrective physical therapy and dry needling my pain has been completely gone for over a couple of months and I can do all the heavy lifts again. I truly thought that I was headed for an early hip replacement before the end of the year. Dr. Hall can do a lot more than just hips and whenever I need PT, I know exactly where to go. She and the staff were all a joy to work with.
Thanks for the review David! We are glad that you enjoyed your experience at our Des Moines clinic.
Fantastic experience: Great service, caring staff!
Thanks for sharing! We appreciate the 5 star review.
Fantastic experience: They know what they’re doing!
Thanks so much, Erik!
Fantastic experience: Wonderful team of PT’s (Todd and James are great to work with) highly recommend!
Thank you for the 5 star review, KC! We appreciate it!
Fantastic experience: Todd, Kaity and James are all great. Helped me through a compressed disc. Saved me from getting surgery.
Thanks so much for sharing your experience!
Fantastic experience: Emma is my therapist. She’s phenomenal! Not just the physical side but also emotional and mentally. She has gotten me moving forward really well. The rest of the staff have been friendly and courteous as well. Always greeted with a smile and comfort. Thank y’all so much. Especially Emma! I appreciate your patience!
Thank you so much for your review!
Fantastic experience: I couldn't have asked for a better place to be after having surgery on my knee. In my years of having pain and going to therapist after therapist I never have felt as good as I do now. Kinetic edge has never treated me as just another payment they have always treated me like family and like I was one of them. Rick in the Des Moines clinic has helped me get back to my daily activities I had troubles doing after having surgery on my knee. He is great at explaining what we need to do and how much I can do for what I had done. He is always there to understand when I have a bad day with pain or even to understand when I feel like I'm not improving. Rick and his staff always make my time fun rather than dreadful. I think they can help anyone with there problems and get them to where they need to be or even better than before. Aylissa Tyler
Thanks for the kind words Aylissa! We loved working with you at Kinetic Edge.
Fantastic experience: After many, many years of running with no serious injuries, I ended Dam to Dam this year with a very painful calf muscle. When nothing I was doing on my own seemed to help, I called Kinetic Edge and began working with Rick Hill. It was clear from the first meeting, which included a thorough analysis of how I walk and run and how my muscles react, that I was right where I needed to be. The advice and exercise program Rick gave me has made a huge difference in all aspects of my running, not just getting over the one injury. Fingers crossed that I stay injury free, but if the need arises, I will definitely be back. I highly recommend this team to anyone who needs physical therapy for any reason.
Hey Cheryl! Thanks for the recommendation; we enjoyed helping you get back to running again! We're always ready to help if you need us :)
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Kinetic Edge for Physical Therapy treatment. I saw two different PT's there and they were both excellent, explaining my injury and the treatment plan, and answering all of my questions. They had my best interest in mind every step of the way. The office staff is friendly and professional, and they handled all aspects of my insurance claims completely hassle free. Dave B.
Thanks for the review Dave! Glad we could help you out.
Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic experience with Kinetic Edge Physical Therapy. My therapist went above and beyond to not only solve my current issue (IT Band Syndrome) but gave me tips and advice to make sure I would not re-injure myself and practiced good running form in the future. He even helped me find the right type of running shoe to prevent further injury and it has helped tremendously.
Thanks for the review Nicole! Glad to hear you're still doing well!
Fantastic experience: I would recommend Kinetic Edge for physical therapy treatment. Todd helped me with a glute/piriformis injury. After treatment I have been pain free for the past 4 months. He worked with me on strengthening exercises as well as several stretches that helped alleviate my pain. I continue to use these exercises even after my sessions with Todd have ended. He was very conscientious and listened to all of my concerns and issues. He has even followed up with me since I was released.
Hi Maribeth! Glad to hear you're still doing well. Thanks for the review!
Fantastic experience: I was very impressed by the whole body approach to wellness. Todd didn't only concentrate on my area of concern (frequent headaches & backaches); he saw how my body worked as a whole, from the feet to the head. He also taught me to breathe - I honestly could not activate my core muscles before he creatively worked with me, teaching me how to "find" them. I plan to see him periodically for reviews on posture, breathing, and overall fitness. The rest of the team is very kind and helpful. Our son have a few appointments with Todd who did a great job being creative and helping him know how to move in fun ways that didn't seem like exercise. I think everyone would benefit from a couple sessions with these therapists; there are so many little things (posture, breathing) that can make a big difference in how good one feels!
Thanks for the review Heather! We loved having you in our clinic and look forward to seeing you in the future :)
Fantastic experience: My daughter was the first in our family to see Todd. As a new runner, she was experiencing hip pain and it was affecting her gait. Todd was able to pinpoint exactly where she was weak and imbalanced and within a couple of weeks of diligently completing his prescribed exercises, she was back to running pain-free. Seeing the success she had, I began to see Todd for neck and shoulder soreness that I’d had for years and had accepted as normal. Knowing I practiced yoga regularly, Todd showed me how to make adjustments to my breathing and postures to help release the tension in my neck. These were simple adjustments, but they’ve made a huge difference. I highly recommend Todd and his staff at Kinetic Edge Physical Therapy.
Fantastic experience: C'mon, best group in Central Iowa! I'm athletic and they got me back into shape and ensured I could age healthily into continuing sports I enjoy like walking, jogging, and biking.
Thank you for the 5 star review! We're happy to hear you're doing well & had a positive experience at KE!
Fantastic experience: Kaity is an amazing and dedicated therapist. I called on a whim one day, looking for a place nearby that did needling, and boy did the stars align in my favor! If you have any hip issues, Kaity will work diligently to approach the issue from all angles. She has so much knowledge and experience - clearly has a passion for helping hip patients (and others I’m sure, but my experience is working with Kaity for hip related issues). She is very skilled at needling as well. I came to her with little hope after trying different things for the better part of a year. She is kind, understanding, and compassionate, yet she doesn’t waste your time with too much coddling. I always left feeling like I really made progress in each session. I now have a lot of tools in my pocket thanks to Kaity’s hard work, and I have so much gratitude for the team at Kinetic Edge. One more thing to note is that my insurance was very difficult to work with. I had already unsuccessfully tried several different PTs so insurance started to reign in my sessions. Kaity and the team fought for the sessions I needed and they were approved!
Thank you so much for sharing your great experience with Kaity!
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience at Kinetic Edge. Todd is very knowledgeable, patient and kind! He helped me go from not running at all to back to my normal workouts. I can’t thank them enough for helping me get my health back! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing, Kelly! We are pleased to hear you're doing well and getting back to doing what you love. Thanks again!
Fantastic experience: I can't thank Dr. Lisa Brekke enough for her help with managing and treating what seems to be severe, chronic migraines. Throughout this year I've had 2 MRI's, a CT scan, and dozens of appointments with different specialists to try and determine why I was experiencing so many symptoms, primarily severe pain. Dr. Brekke made more progress in helping me find relief than every other medical professional, and helped me get my quality of life back. I would whole-heartedly recommend her expertise to anyone experiencing similar neurological/vestibular issues.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're so glad you're getting your life back!
Fantastic experience: I’d give Kinetic Edge more than 5 stars if I could. Earlier this year, an MRI showed multiple bulging discs in my lower back, which pinched nerves and caused pain in my lower back and down my leg. I was put on a number of different medicines for pain, inflammation, sleep, and nerve issues. They didn’t help much, and ended up messing with my mind in some ways. I received different types of back injections, with mixed results, and reached the point where the only options left were Physical Therapy or a neurosurgery consult. I contacted Kinetic Edge and worked with Todd for the past few months, and the results have been incredible. At my first visit, my pain was a pretty constant 8/10. I found it very difficult get around, not able to walk more than a few hundred feet before having extreme pain in my lower back and down my leg. I couldn’t stand up straight, lay flat, or sleep more than an hour at a time. The stretching/exercise/workout plan Todd put me on has been a life-changer. In just a few months, I’m almost back to normal – I’m sleeping normally, hardly have any pain, can walk a couple miles a day without issue, and I’m not taking any medications. Going in, I didn’t know anything about physical therapy, but after my experience with Ashley, Todd, and the rest of the team, I’d recommend them to anyone looking for help. They’re helping me get back to normal physically, which is huge, but at the same time they gave me hope at a time where I wasn’t sure my pain would ever get better.
Wow! Thank you for sharing! We are so happy to hear your experience at Kinetic Edge has been positive & that you're back to doing the things you love again. We appreciate you taking the time to leave us this review!

Fantastic experience: I came to kinetic edge to fix pain in my shoulder and was blown away with how amazing they were. I worked with Kaity and James, and they were both extremely knowledgable and very patient focused. I had a few hiccups along the way, but they worked with me and got me stronger than ever. They are also super flexible and willing to work with any schedule. I would recommend them to anyone.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Halle! We are so glad you are doing well, and we appreciate the 5 star review!
Fantastic experience: Professional staff who are dedicated to your wellness. Well-trained experts who are among the best physical therapists I've ever worked with. AND most importantly they ALWAYS remember my name and that meant a lot to me. Very friendly staff and I HIGHLY recommend! Ashley at the front desk is great to work with and never gives you a hard time if you need to reschedule. Kaidy was awesome to work with as well!
Thank you for sharing, Brad! We are happy you had a positive experience!
Fantastic experience: I had ankle surgery in early April, and needed physical therapy to get back to what i love the most. Soccer. I was matched with Katie, who instantly connected with me. She was totally fine with my hair legs, and actually incorporated soccer drills into our training together. Which i am very thankful for because I was starting to get scared of kicking the ball. Physical therapy never felt like a chore, but i was hard, and I’m just extremely grateful that Kinetic Edge helped me throughout my healing process. Thank you so much!!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Keegan! We are happy to hear you're doing well!
Fantastic experience: So thankful I found Lisa at Kinetic Edge. I have been dealing with vertigo for nearly 3 months now. The doctors were not able to help me. I felt so lost and anxious not knowing what was going on. When I had my first appointment with Lisa, she advised me that I was experiencing vistibular migraines. She also recommended some supplements that are already helping. I thought I was never going to get any relief. If you're experiencing vertigo, definitely make an appointment to see Lisa.
So glad to hear you are feeling better! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience!
Fantastic experience: I’ve gone to Kinetic Energy for over 3 years for PT on various sports injuries. I’ve worked mainly with Kaity, who is amazing. She’s professional, helpful, and friendly. She diagnosed my issues quickly and accurately, and she informed me thoroughly about the her methods m. She successfully treated a chronic (1+ year) quad issue with dry needling. Other PTs I worked with at Kinetic Edge were very helpful and friendly as well. Highly recommend A+
Thanks so much for sharing about your experience with Kinetic Edge, Jonathan!
Fantastic experience: I have a genetic disorder that will require physical therapy throughout my life. I've used Kinetic Edge in two different cities and I have had amazing service at both! Professional and able to connect and they remembered the details of my work and home life that effected my physical therapy. Absolutely recommend to anyone for any physical therapy needs!
Thanks so much for taking the time to share your Kinetic Edge experience!
Fantastic experience: I chose Kinetic Edge because of the convenient location but now I know how vital it's been to my recovery from surgery. All the staff are welcoming and friendly but my physical therapist, Patrick, has been absolutely fantastic. In six weeks he's gotten me so much further in my range of movement then I had ever thought possible. With the therapy done there and the suggested exercises to be done at home, Patrick has gently but firmly given me hope that some day I'll be able to do all the activities I did before surgery. It would be impossible to be more appreciative to him or more enthusiastic about recommending Kinetic Edge for any physical therapy needs.
Thank you so much for sharing, Nancy! We are so happy to hear your experience has been positive & that you're doing so well! We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a 5 star review. Best wishes!

Fantastic experience: Having an active lifestyle it is inevitable that there will be needs for physical therapy to address injuries and symptoms from my various physical activities. I have utilized the therapy services from Kinetic Edge on a few occasions over the years and can always count on their team to guide me through the rehab process. They invest time to educate me comprehensively throughout the treatment process explaining the “why” with every exercise and approach they are using to alleviate my particular issue. I can’t recommend them enough for anyone in the Des Moines area with PT needs.
So great to hear, Chris! Thanks for leaving a review!
Fantastic experience: I came in for shoulder concerns and finished my physical therapy feeling 100%. I worked with Patrick and he was personable, and gave plenty of exercises I could continue to work on at home. Absolutely no complaints.
Fantastic experience: I decided to go to Kinetic Edge because of its proximity to my work, and I definitely do not regret it. I needed physical therapy because I threw out one of my knees, and it was not healing well. The therapists I saw did an excellent job of listening to my story, asking questions about where I was and what I wanted to do, and creating a regimen that would help. They didn't just treat the problem, either, but helped me develop a set of ongoing exercises that will strengthen the knee, as well as the other muscles in my leg that will help keep me from experiencing the same problem again. It had been a couple months since I hurt my knee when I finally went to Kinetic Edge, and it hadn't progressed at all; I was having some difficulty walking or standing, and going up and down stairs was extremely slow, and often painful. Within a few weeks, my walking and standing pains were gone; within a couple months, I was no longer experiencing issues with stairs, and I'm nearly back to the point I was at before my injury. While full knee strength may not ever return, they helped me get back to as close as possible to where I was before. I would definitely recommend Kinetic Edge for people who need physical therapy.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience Jonathan! We really appreciate it and we're so glad you don't have to deal with that pain anymore!
Fantastic experience: Kaity was so helpful and thorough. The whole staff was polite, kind and cooperative. I appreciated their willingness to video my exercises and respond to my questions. I would highly recommend Kinetic Edge!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review!
Fantastic experience: Lisa Brekke was a amazing! My ENT had sent me for various testing and everything showed signs of BPV. However, I had been going through PT for 5 months with no relief until I found Lisa! She was very knowledgeable and well educated. She was able to help me in just a few sessions! She had the necessary equipment and she was patient and didn’t try to rush through treatments. I have not experienced any vertigo symptoms for over a month now thanks to Lisa’s help!
We're so glad to hear you don't have to deal with those symptoms anymore! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with Kinetic Edge!
Fantastic experience: Kinetic Edge and Dr. Patrick Ford healed my persistent hip pain. My coworker highly recommended Kinetic Edge, and I do, too. At first I thought they did just sports rehab, and my injury would heal on its own. By the time I finally made an appointment, I was afraid my limping, inactivity, and contorted sleeping would be my new normal. Their office is welcoming to everyone. Their Des Moines location and early morning appointments were so convenient for my work schedule. Patrick listened to me and expertly assessed my individual case. He provided therapy and exercises to alleviate my pain, increase mobility, and strengthen. He tweaked them based on feedback and progress, and referred me for further care as needed. I was surprised to learn that when I explained an exercise was painful or too uncomfortable, Patrick would find another way to reach the same result. Thanks for helping me regain the activities I enjoyed before! That alone is huge, but I also have tools and am motivated to do more. Trust your PT, do the exercises, keep it going. This is what health care should be.
Thank you so much for sharing, Kay! We are pleased to hear your experience was positive & you are feeling and functioning better. That's GREAT! Thanks again!
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience working with Patrick and the entire KE Team. They were friendly, professional, and committed to getting me healed and strong as quickly as possible. I especially appreciated Patrick’s attentiveness to my rotator cuff injury. I felt like he truly listened to me about my specific symptoms. He patiently worked with me on a tailored recovery program and closely monitored my progression. After only a handful of appointments, I’m back to building strength in my shoulders through a modified workout program. If I experience any other injuries, I will definitely be headed back to their clinic and requesting Patrick as my PT!
Thanks so much for sharing about your experience at Kinetic Edge!!
Fantastic experience: I absolutely love the staff at Kinetic Edge. They truly listen to your concerns and are interested in finding out what your personal goals are related to the therapy sessions.
Thanks so much for the review, Amanda! And thanks for choosing Kinetic Edge!
Negative experience: Would NOT recommend. I have a connective tissue disorder Ehlers Danlos syndrome which causes a lot of dislocations. Can happen at any time. I also have fibromyalgia. They say they work with people who have connecive tissue disordrs but I dont think they understand wgat that even means. They never listened when I said I was hurting. They forced me to di exercises with lots of heavyweights (recommended AGAINST if you have EadS) and made me do exercises on my knees after multiple dislocations.. Saw zero progress with them and they don't care.
We're so sorry you didn't experience the best our business has to offer! We'd like to hear more about your specific situation and will have someone reach out to you to address your concerns. We look forward to speaking with you.
Fantastic experience: Excellent care and attentiveness. Also great flexibility with scheduling. I really appreciated being able to address other issues with my body beyond just my surgery recovery as well. Fantastic team of helpful abs compassionate people!
Thank you so much for sharing your KE experience, Brie! We really appreciate it, and we're thrilled you chose us! Thanks again!
Fantastic experience: Phenomenal facility with a phenomenal staff! Each and every visit I was welcomed. Therapists were attentive and sincerely concerned about my well being, pain levels, etc. Physical therapy is not a fun experience but much easier to perform when it is individualized to what your abilities are and not what the expectations or outcome may be. Keep up the great work Kinetic Edge!!
Thank you so much for the kind words Brian! We're so happy to hear you've had a great experience at Kinetic Edge!
Fantastic experience: We have had nothing but success with Kinetic Edge! Both of my sons loved working with Kaity and James in the Des Moines downtown office. They had previously helped our oldest son, Sam, with knee pain. When his younger brother, Charlie, started limping this summer with Achilles tendon pain from running, we knew where we needed to go. They did a great job accessing him, had him do a running test, and recommended exercises to help heal and make him stronger. Dry needling significantly provided Charlie with relief. We also got him into a better running shoe. Charlie is now equipped with the necessary exercises meant specifically for him. He continues doing those exercises and keeps getting stronger, and he has successfully completed cross country meets. Charlie is thrilled to keep running! Thank you so much Kinetic Edge!!
Thanks so much for the great feedback, Joann! We're glad to hear Charlie gets to keep doing what he loves. Good luck to him throughout the rest of the season!!
Fantastic experience: I have experienced a couple different issues over the past couple of years and have sought out the help of Kinetic Edge. The team is patient and listens to best address my issue. They care about me as a patient and I highly recommend the KE team.
We greatly appreciate the feedback Todd! Thanks for choosing Kinetic Edge!
Fantastic experience: My right ankle’s problem was affecting my movement and quality of life. I worked with Todd as I dealt with the issue. He displayed great knowledge and experience. I appreciated his patience. He was compassionate concerning my pain.
Thank you so much for the review! We're glad you've had a great experience at Kinetic Edge!
Fantastic experience: I started PT for severe pain related to my sciatica and piriformis muscle. Kora and Tim gave me great tools to work with. I was taught how to do exercises that have helped me tremendously. I also had a running assessment and after making the suggested changes, my pain associated with running is gone as is the awful stiffness I was experiencing during/after runs. I learned so much from these two! My sciatica and piriformis pain-I am now able to ride in a car without the searing pain....and that is a blessing. Highly recommend!
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with Kinetic Edge!
Fantastic experience: I have gone to Dr. Patrick Ford for the last 4 months and I have seen tremendous growth! From becoming more flexible with the stretching exercises to the strength workouts he has given me. He has really helped my performance get to the next level.
Fantastic experience: Patrick Ford has helped me immensely by teaching and demonstrating exercises with correct form to alleviate the daily headaches and neck/upper back pain I was experiencing. He is very patient and easy to work with!
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review!
Fantastic experience: This was the perfect fit for my recovery. The staff at Kinetic Edge in Des Moines was equally professional and personable. They made me feel welcome and motivated. Each one took enough interest in my goals and lifestyle to ensure I efficiently met those goals. I am so appreciative of my time here!
Thanks so much for the 5 star review, Cheyanna! Always so awesome to hear of great client experiences!
Fantastic experience: Zinetic Edge Physical Therapy exceeded my expectations in many ways. First, the staff is extraordinary. They are highly trained, patient, and committed to patient success. I felt relaxed and comfortable throughout my treatment. The therapists continually informed me of my progress, encouraged me when I was frustrated, and applauded me at each milestone (big or small). Secondly, the entire staff approached my therapy in a welcoming and supportive manner. I felt I was part of a family with my success being the number one goal throughout each visit. I am happy to report I am pain-free after eight weeks of physical therapy. When I began this journey I was doubtful I would have success. Thanks to the dedication of Kinetic Edge, it is my new reality.
Judith - This is great to hear! No one should resort to living with pain and movement issues. We are honored you chose Kinetic Edge for physical therapy! Thanks for sharing & let us know if we can help out in the future!
Fantastic experience: I usually don't pay much attention to ads on Facebook, but I saw a post from Kinetic Edge Physical Therapy for a free evaluation. I was having problems with my low back and hips. Best thing I did. I was very impressed with the staff, they are very friendly and very professional. They gave me exercises that were specific for my issue. I now have more mobility and I not so stiff and sore after my workouts. I will continue to do the at home exercises as they are important to do to keep me moving. I highly recommend Kinetic Edge Physical Therapy.
This is so great to hear, Nan! Love to hear about great experiences and are so glad your mobility has improved!!
Fantastic experience: I've been a client of Kinetic Edge DM for 4 years for multiple issues/injuries. More than just treating the pain, they work with me to avoid reinjury. I leave each session with an understanding of how my body works and how to to move more efficiently. They are my "go-to" even before my ortho!
Thank you so much for the feedback, Joyce! We're glad you've had a great experience. Thank you for choosing Kinetic Edge!
Fantastic experience: I received quality, personalized care. I am not only relieved from my pain but am armed with knowledge of how to prevent it in the future!
Thanks for the 5 star review, Brent! We're glad your pain has been relieved and you're feeling better!
Fantastic experience: Great people. They are really helping me for over 4 years I have had pain in my hip which radiates down my leg. Multiple steroid injections haven’t help. I finally tried dry needling. Incredible. Pain is gone and I can easily walk. Thanks kinetic edge
Thanks for the review Cheryl! Glad we can help you!
Fantastic experience: I visited Patrick in hopes of resolving persistent hip tightness/pain. He was thorough in assessing physical symptoms/limitations. He was attentive and kind in listening to my concerns/explanation of my issue. He was helpful -- providing both stretches to increase mobility AND exercises to increase strength. I appreciated his attention to detail and his helpful (and patient) attitude in how he explained and described the movement(s) for each stretch/exercise. He made sure I knew how to properly complete each stretch/exercise in a way that would utilize all the muscles I should be using and had me complete a set of reps to make sure I did them correctly. He also helped pinpoint some of inaccurate form/movements that may be driving my hip/glute issue, which will help keep it from arising in the future. I absolutely recommend Patrick for your PT needs!
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review!
Fantastic experience: Kinetic Edge is great! I have had three mild injuries treated by them including shoulder, back and hamstring. Whether it's during the diagnosis or the actual therapy they listen and respond to my concerns (no matter how insignificant I think they are). I really like going here but hope I don't have to go back!
Thanks for the review Anthony! Glad we've been able to help you with your concerns!
Fantastic experience: Patrick is great to work with. He listened to concerns, thoroughly evaluated symptoms and provided suggestions on how to improve strength of the muscles to avoid future injury. He made sure exercises were being done. He also understood the importance of athletes being able to continue to train even while recovering from an injury and provided modifications to help keep the athlete engaged.
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review, Jenn!
Fantastic experience: It is always a good experience when you receive the care and attention that meets your expectations. But when that care exceeds your expectations you just have to comment and let others know. From the very first visit, I was met with caring individuals who wanted to improve my motion in my right rotator cuff. The therapist that worked with me was Kaity Hall and she was great. I have a hectic schedule and she was willing to work with me to make scheduling easier. I most likely will not need surgery with the physical therapy exercises she worked me through. Thanks Kaity and Kinetic Edge Physical Therapy for all the good work you do. The next time I need a Physical Therapist, I now exactly who to call, Kinetic Edge Physical Therapy!
Tom - Thank you so much for the 5 star review. We are honored that you chose Kinetic Edge, and it's great to hear that your experience was positive & effective!
Fantastic experience: I could not recommend Kinetic Edge highly enough. All staff that I dealt with was kind, personable, and helpful. Kaity Hall was my physical therapist and was excellent. She knew what she was talking about. I appreciated that they didn't just help in recovery, but also looked at some tendencies I have while running or lifting and made suggestions to help avoid injury in the future. If you have any ailments or are coming off of a procedure, this is the place to go.
Thanks so much for the feedback Jordan! So glad to hear you had such a great experience!
Fantastic experience: I received PT services for several weeks at Kinetic Edge and had very positive results. The staff and atmosphere in the clinic is very friendly and professional. Both Todd Schemper, PT, and James Laughlin, PTA, listened to my concerns, problem solved to find the best treatment, and provided education and a realistic home program. The Astym and dry needling were helpful! As a health professional myself I was very impressed with their knowledge and skills. If I need PT in the future I will not hesitate to go back to Kinetic Edge. Thank you!
Thanks for the 5 star review! We're glad you had a great experience and appreciate you sharing your feedback!
Fantastic experience: Excellent care that was not only tailored to my issues, but also to what I would be able to do in order to improve and achieve success.
Thanks for the review, Nicholas!
Fantastic experience: 5 stars just isn’t enough! Have been going here for about 2 months following a knee injury and am back and in better condition than I was to start with! Thank you Kinetic Edge!
Aw, such kind words Dana! Thank you for the 5+ star review! Glad we were able to help you get in even better condition than before.
Fantastic experience: Recently treated for pain in knee : hamstring area. Dry needling technique worked very well and I saw positive results within a few weeks. Would highly recommend this form if treatment if applicable to your situation. Great staff, very helpful!
Thanks for the review Eric! Glad we were able to help with your knee pain.
Fantastic experience: Kaity was exceptionally knowledgeable and helpful. She explained things in a way I would understand and possessed humor and patience as we worked together. I am grateful for my time at Kinetic Edge!
Thanks for the review Megan! We think Kaity's great too!
Fantastic experience: Todd and James at Kinetic Edge were instrumental in helping me recover from a mild hamstring injury and an overuse injury that had been getting worse for about six months.They're professional, courteous and know what they're doing. Highly recommended.
Thanks for this review! So glad Todd and James were able to help you overcome your overuse injury!
Fantastic experience: Todd and James took their time to assess for my foot injury. They walked me through the drills to complete while at the office. I was given a sheet with the rolls and the number of times to complete weekly. I wish I had seen them immediately when I hurt my foot. With their care and guidance I was back up to running with no issues sooner than I expected. Highly recommend their office as they take their time to take care of their clients!! Thanks again to your office!!
Thanks for the review, Paxton! Glad we could help you get back to running sooner than you expected!
Fantastic experience: I underwent an arthroscopy with labral repair on my right hip in January. Owing to past positive experiences with Kinetic Edge, they were a no-brainer for a return trip for guidance through what was bound to be a difficult recovery. I'm an active guy, and admittedly had a lot of anxiety about my future in sport. But not to worry, apparently. Kaity and James masterfully "convinced" me to adopt a less is more approach, doling out not too much stress, nor too little. The approach turned out just right. The Goldilocks of recovery. By following their directives, I was on the bike in four months and running before six. Since then I've raced cycles competitively, and found myself zipping through trail runs. I'm a huge proponent of Kinetic Edge and would proudly recommend their services to anyone. You don't even have to ask. I'll just go ahead and tell you. :)
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words Jason!! We're glad you've had such a great experience at Kinetic Edge and appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review!
Fantastic experience: This is my second experience with Kinetic Edge and both experiences have been fantastic. The PT's are great. They listen well, show compassion, have great people skills and demonstrate a wide variety of therapeutic exercises. Rick, Kaity and James are fabulous and Alyssa is very helpful and knowledgeable with any questions that I had. 5 star !!
Thanks so much for the review, Steve! Glad to be able to serve you again!
Fantastic experience: After many attempts to resolve a nearly year-long neck issue, Todd at Kinetic Edge was able to help me at last! Through careful observation, listening and expert treatment, my symptoms are gone. The entire office staff was friendly, greeting me by name, and made sure my needs were met each visit. I have and will continue to recommend Kinetic Edge Physical Therapy to others!
Thanks for the review, Aubrey! We love hearing stories like this where we're able to help people who've been searching for a solution for a long time and finally found one with us. Thanks for spreading the word about our company too :)
Fantastic experience: Everyone at Kinetic Edge is great. As a runner, I've worked with Todd a few times over the years. He is very knowledgeable and does a great job of getting to the root cause of your injury. Todd takes the time to educate you on ways to increase flexibility and strength so you can be a better athlete and enjoy your sport for many years to come.
Thanks for the review, Tim! Todd definitely has a passion for helping other runners, so we're glad he was able to share that with you!
Fantastic experience: I’ve gone to Kinetic Edge for two separate injuries. Two different physical therapists have helped me overcome these injuries. They were both extremely knowledgeable about the musculoskeletal system. Both injuries were quickly diagnosed and most importantly diagnosed and treated correctly. Ever since I started working with them I have not had any recurring problems with the injured areas. The staff cares deeply about their patients and want them to get back to being healthy as quickly as possible. I would highly recommend Kinetic Edge to anyone needing rehab for an injury!
Wow, Bryant! Thanks for this kind review! And thanks for choosing to come back to us a second time :) We're proud to be your physical therapy team!
Fantastic experience: I went for a Runner's Edge Assessment. I was filmed from different angles as I ran on a treadmill at my current 10k pace. Then they showed me the video and explained how I could improve my form with two subtle changes. They also recommended a few helpful exercises. I think every runner should go through this kind of evaluation, unless they are working with a professional coach! Too many hobby runners get hurt because they have form issues that they may be unaware of. Also, I must say I am excited to see that I have potential to get faster, even though I am not getting any younger! Kudos to Kinetic Edge team for providing such a great service!
So glad you were able to benefit from our Runner's Edge Assessment Yuri! Hope it helps you get a PR with your next race. Thanks for sharing about your experience here too!
Fantastic experience: The staff at Kinetic Edge is so knowledgeable n encouraging. Thank you Todd for your expertise along with James n Kati. Abi greets me with a smile, opening the door n always wants to know how I am. Thanks all for cheering me on!
Thanks for the kind words, Pam! Happy to serve you!
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Kinetic Edge. After a hand injury Todd and James provided therapy and exercise instructions that returned me to baseline. Additionally, Todd provided guidance for addressing a previous injury that had not fully resolved. Thank you!
Thanks for the review Tammera! Glad we could help you!
Fantastic experience: I went to see Todd Schemper in Des Moines. I am a runner who had been plagued by plantar fasciitis for the last 3 years. With Todd's help I now have that under control; and more importantly know what was causing it! Todd tailored the treatments for me and my pace. And his approach was to empower me to be able to help myself after an initial period of working with him. Dam to Dam here I come!
Thanks for the kind words Richard! Keep up the good work. I appreciated working with you.
Fantastic experience: Thanks to Todd's attention to detail, understanding my back pain issues and working WITH me to find a solution that I will CONTINUE to follow means everything to me. I was able to have a quick recovery and look forward to a long-term back-free issues.
Thanks for the review Larry! Glad we could help you out!
Fantastic experience: Kinetic Edge really helped my neck pain. I had Rick as my physical therapist and he was very knowledgable and helpful!
Thanks for the review Maria!
Fantastic experience: My daughter was the first in our family to see Todd. As a new runner, she was experiencing hip pain and it was affecting her gait. Todd was able to pinpoint exactly where she was weak and imbalanced and within a couple of weeks of diligently completing his prescribed exercises, she was back to running pain-free. Seeing the success she had, I began to see Todd for neck and shoulder soreness that I’d had for years and had accepted as normal. Knowing I practiced yoga regularly, Todd showed me how to make adjustments to my breathing and postures to help release the tension in my neck. These were simple adjustments, but they’ve made a huge difference. I highly recommend Todd and his staff at Kinetic Edge Physical Therapy.
Hi Lisa! Thanks so much for taking time to share about you and your daughter's experience with us. Glad we could be of service to you both!
