Fantastic experience: I tore my acl and meniscus and i’m currently recovering post surgery but a lot of progress has been made from when I first started. I have Mindy helping me and she’s been making me better every week with improvement. I’ve been slowly able to do things I thought I would never do again or imagine doing. The staff is super nice and welcoming. I definitely recommend this place!

The Center for Physical Rehabilitation

Thank you for sharing your experience with Mindy at our Downtown location! We always look forward to hearing from our patients, and are grateful for your recommendation!

Greg Carlson 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: As a patient of various other rehabilitation companies, I cannot recommend The Center for Physical Rehabilitation highly enough! Most especially Anna Bennett, who has successfully treated both myself and my wife recently. Anna is kind and listens attentively to her patients, then puts a plan of action into place including exercises and hands-on rehab which is honestly better than I’ve ever received anywhere else. Men looking for help with post-surgery symptoms need look no further than here - especially the downtown Grand Rapids location at 45 Ottawa Ave SW STE D, Grand Rapids, MI 49503… HIGHLY recommend Anna! You won’t be sorry

The Center for Physical Rehabilitation

Greg, thank you for sharing your experience with Anna and our Downtown location! We are grateful for your trust in our staff to care for your family! You're recommendation of our services is greatly appreciated!

Deserae Herring 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Staff is really helpful, personable and fun! They give you the care you need and carry conversations to make your time there fly by and enjoyable! I've been doing physical therapy for 6+ years and have never had such great care! Tom took the time to ask questions to understand all areas of need and educated me on why I feel pain in places I didnt realize I would. It's obvious he is very passionate about his work and loves helping others! Great experience and worth it!

The Center for Physical Rehabilitation

Deserae, thank you for your thoughtful remarks about Tom and our Downtown team! We are always proud to hear of experiences like yours!

Fantastic experience: The Downtown team was amazing to work with. I worked with Tom for the most part, but also had days with other therapists. Everyone was very knowledgable, kind, and compassionate towards all clients and make you very comfortable once you walk through their door.

Morgan Gross 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: After sustaining a spinal injury, I was referred to The Center For Physical Rehabilitation to work with their specialists as they were highly recommended by the doctor I was seeing at the time. After scheduling with the downtown location, I am incredibly happy that I did. The care I received was top notch, follow up as things healed and progressed was thorough and appreciated. I highly recommend working with the downtown location for any physical therapy needs!

Fantastic experience: The Center for PT has been the best support for my road to recovery this past month. I have had endless support on my injury as well as any other outside struggles. The staff is very welcoming and interested in their patients individually!!

Isabel Fuzi 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: The downtown team at the Center for Physical Rehabilitation is undoubtedly one of the finest physical therapy offices I've ever had the pleasure of working with. As a dancer who has battled plantar fasciitis, weak lower body strength, and chronic ankle issues for nearly a decade, I've spent a considerable amount of time in physical therapy. From the moment I walked through the doors, Tom, Mindy, and the entire staff made me feel not only seen and heard as a patient but also valued as an individual. They took the time to listen to my concerns and goals, diligently working to identify the root causes of my issues rather than merely addressing the symptoms, as I have experienced elsewhere. In a remarkably short time, I gained a deeper understanding of my body, learned effective strategies for preventing injuries, and developed a personalized recovery plan to manage any potential setbacks as I transition to school. The knowledge and skills I acquired have empowered me with a sense of control over my health that I’ve never felt before. I am truly grateful for the exceptional care and support I received at this wonderful physical therapy office. The tools and confidence they have instilled in me have made a lasting impact on my life. Thank you to the entire team for your dedication and expertise!

The Center for Physical Rehabilitation

Isabel, thank you for sharing your experience with our Downtown team! We are always proud to hear stories like yours, and continue to be amazed by our wonderful staff. Thank you for trusting our team with your care!

Sam Tietema 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: After two shoulder surgeries and more than a year of physical therapy, I feel a lot more confident in my shoulders because of the great work Dustin, Tom, and the rest of the cfpr team did for me. Outstanding hospitality and even better at the physical therapy side of things.

The Center for Physical Rehabilitation

Dominick Decker 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Tom is an incredible physical therapist who not only delivers top-notch care but also creates a fun and uplifting atmosphere. His knowledge and expertise are evident in every session, and he genuinely cares about his patients' progress. What sets Tom apart is his unique ability to blend therapy with music. Whether he's humming a tune or jamming out, his positive energy makes each session enjoyable. If you're looking for effective treatment with a personal touch, Tom is the one to see!

The Center for Physical Rehabilitation

Dominick, thank you for your kind words about Tom at our Downtown location! We love hearing experiences like this, and love that Tom's fun personality shines through during his care! We are grateful for your recommendation!

Mike Smolinski 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Pat LeBlac and the entire staff were friendly , courteous , knowledgeable and helped make the experience less fearful and more comfortable. More importantly, Pat provided follow up exercises and explained every step of what he was doing during our sessions to alleviate my leg/ankle pain. I was very impressed. And this downtown location is extremely convenient.

The Center for Physical Rehabilitation

Mike, thank you for sharing your experience with Pat at our Downtown location! We appreciate you 5-star rating, and the trust you put in our team!

Quintin Lohman 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent and friendly staff. After an injury caused by muscle imbalances that refused to heal on its own, Mindy has helped me take it from pain and weakness I would experience every day to a near 100% recovery. I like the emphasis on correcting the imbalances themselves and advice on home exercises .

The Center for Physical Rehabilitation

Quintin, thank you for sharing your experience with Mindy at our Downtown location! We are proud to hear of your progress, and grateful for your trust in our team!

Jen Lesinski 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Late 40s, injured at work, generally fit-ish with fitness industry experience. Pat is patient, attentive, and a good listener. After each and every appointment I felt better and no where near depleted. Pat prescribes just enough and no more. Each movement has a purpose. I really thought that this injury was going to be permanent. It’s gone. Pat has inspired me to get back into exercise again, focusing on basic, stabilizing exercises for functional movement. Pat’s professionalism, knowledge, and patient care are all excellent and I can’t recommend this facility enough (parking is even super easy). I didn’t work with Scott (the personal trainer on site) this time, but I have known him professionally in the past. He is the best trainer in the city in my opinion. He is the most talented and charismatic trainer I have ever met. If you need physical therapy consider this facility. You will leave better than you entered.

The Center for Physical Rehabilitation

Jen, thank you for taking the time to write this kind review of Pat and our Downtown clinic! We are honored that our team could help provide a positive experience and are truly grateful for your trust in The Center!

AUSTIN Reilly 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I suffered a CVA in 2009 and after an MRI then an MRA it was determined that a left thalamic infarction had occurred and parts of my circle of Willis were absent. I worked hard with Dr. VandenBerg of Spectrum towards correcting a supination of my right foot due to signal loss. This was unsuccessful and as time went on my left knee would swell after walking even short distances. Dr. Zeits suggested an MRI that revealed a contused distal femoral chondyl with fluid but no bakers cyst and an intact bursa possibly due to a gait irregularity. Additionally, after a water skiing injury in my youth Dr. Day had clipped the menisci of my right knee. Dr. Zeitz suggested I try a month or two of PT. My time at the 45 Ottowa location was exceptionally good. The treating Dr. was Patrick LaBlanc. Patrick assessed and suggested therapeutic remedies that benefited me greatly. His knowledge of anatomy and how my therapy would mesh with intermittent epidemiological painful cysts as well as my other health issues was par excellence. He was open minded, thorough, and most importantly efficient with time management and other patients as when in discomfort I tend to be loquacious. Dr. LaBlanc took it in stride and after two months of twice a week sessions I can now ambulate a mile plus getting me to the market, hospital, and occasionally a lottery ticket ( it only takes one to win). Inclines can still be an issue, usually greater than 40 degrees. I diligently practice the exercises to this day that strengthens my legs. So much so in fact that I had to figure how to overcome some friction abrasions that developed on my shins. My niece a world caliber swimmer via Oakland University and Catholic Central now at Wayne State studying medicine suggested beside my sweat pants I put my compression Sox on underneath as she had the experienced the same issues ( see photos). I had the pleasure of seeing Mindy Simon, Scott Hamilton and Tom Gustafson work and the way they differentiated with different patients needs and the positive patients responses always seemed transformational. Something I experienced as well. Trish at reception was a joy to work with on scheduling needs if they arose. Perfection only exists in God so my review would not be complete without some critical analysis. While in no reflection on Patrick, he tried three different techniques to get me doing the sit to stand exercise which I did twice daily at home but stopped after my failure to do it correctly and my back would would be effected in not a small way. I will return probably sometime next fall or winter to address this issue and perhaps some stretching covered on an UNUM policy I have in force above and beyond my Medicare part B. I can become verbose so just let me succinctly state that after experiences with what is now Corewell, helping my folks with their therapy and no small bit of input from the many family members practicing medicine, The Center For Physical Rehabilitation is by far the best experience I had. Now retired after a 30 year vocation in medical sales, even selling Spectrum through the VHA contract many of the orthopedic products they use, I would highly recommend Patrick, Mindy, Tom and Scott through The Center For Physical Therapy to anyone needing such treatment. And thank you for the ease of this review process. I struggle with platforms.

The Center for Physical Rehabilitation

Austin, thank you for taking the time to write these kind words about Tom, Mindy, Patrick and Scott at our Downtown clinic! We truly appreciate your continued trust in our care!

D S 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Friendly; Welcoming; Thoughtful; Understanding; Helpful; These are all things people often say about me, but it is also how I would describe the folks at the downtown office of The Center. They made me feel better and explained every step along the way. I would jump at the chance to work with them again.

The Center for Physical Rehabilitation

We would absolutely describe you as all of those things! Thank you for your fun review that had us laughing! We truly appreciate your continued trust in our Downtown team!

Paul Haan 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: First time needing PT and I couldn't be happier. I suffered "caster's elbow" from a combination of my fly fishing addiction and my sedentary day job driving a desk. I ignored it for far too long, compounding the problem. Once I got a referral to Tom at the downtown location, I was on my way to recovery. Not only is Tom an all-around great guy, but he both worked the injury and gave me the skills to prevent re-occurrence which I practice daily and have added greatly to my quality of life. I would without hesitation refer my friends and family to the Center for Physical Rehabilitation's downtown GR location.

The Center for Physical Rehabilitation

Paul, thank you for your kind review on Tom and our Downtown clinic! We truly appreciate you taking the time to share this experience and we are grateful for your trust in our team!

Heather Hawkins 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Tom at The Center for Physical Rehabilitation helped me sort out a variety of ongoing injuries. He looked at my past injuries holistically and came up with a program to get me activate again in a way no other PT has ever done. It's been hands down my favorite physical therapy experience. I was at a point with some of my injuries that I didn't think I would ever do some activities again. He helped me work through years of overcompensating to get real mobility back. He's also a great hang and plays cool tunes. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

The Center for Physical Rehabilitation

Heather, thank you for your thoughtful words about Tom and our Downtown clinic! We are truly grateful for your trust in our team!

Fantastic experience: Can't say enough good things about my experience here.

Fantastic experience: CPR Downtown gave me an excellent PT experience. The facility is spacious and well equipped. Cleanliness practices are top level.

Great hands, great personality!

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience! I truly thought that having a “bad” shoulder would be part of my life, but after working with Mindy I finally feel like myself again.

The entire staff is fun and welcoming, it is a great place. I would highly recommend, Mindy especially!

Fantastic experience: I am so thankful for the Center for Physical Rehabilitation once again. This time I am working with Pat LaBlanc.

Tessa VanderStel 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: After running a half marathon I had a knee injury that prevented me from walking even a mile comfortably. Within 5 months of receiving physical therapy from CPR, I'm back to running 7+ miles! Tom is AMAZING and really takes the time to get to know his clients and their injuries. The entire staff is so personable and friendly and made doing exercises so fun! All of their 5 star reviews show that they have hundreds of success stories - it is worth the time and money to trust them to help you heal your body. I will definitely be back if I get injured again (fingers crossed that doesn't happen but... it's life!). Thank you CPR downtown for everything you do.

The Center for Physical Rehabilitation

Tessa, thank you for taking the time to write this kind review for Tom and our Downtown clinic! We love to hear about positive experiences like your own! We're truly grateful for your trust in The Center!

Logan Zillmer 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I went to CPR on Ottawa after I herniated two discs in my lower back pretty severely while working out. It was the most intense and consistently painful thing that I have ever experienced. Prior to this injury, I had never participated in physical therapy and in general had heard a few negative things, but my experience at CPR was overwhelmingly positive. I wish I would have done it sooner. I saw Mindy Simon a couple days a week for a couple months and I knew after my first visit that this was going to be the best thing for my back. Lower back injuries are really tricky and every body reacts to them differently, and everyone you talk to has their own sworn remedy, but if you want to get there properly, PT is the answer. Mindy did a great job finding a protocol that both helped with the pain and put me on a quicker road to proper healing. Not only did we identify the patterns that were causing the pain, but she also helped identify bad habits and weaknesses in my movements that probably led to the injury in the first place. She also did a really good job of adjusting the treatment to fit my personality and particular defects of character. She did great pushing me at the right times and holding me back at the right times. She knows her stuff. Tricia, at the front desk, was also an absolute delight. Friendly and courteous. Always a happy smile to greet me with in the morning. One time, I even had to bring my kids with me to PT and she hung out with them and made them feel comfortable. Lastly, the Clinic Director, Tom is really great as well. Even though I wasn't his patient, he always had a hello and a kind word, and seemed to know about my progress as well. During my last visit, he suggested that I try dry-needling for the muscles surrounding my injury, and it really put me over the edge. It was the final tweak I needed to get back to normal. I have taken so much of what I learned at CPR and incorporated it into my workout program. I can tell a huge difference. CPR has given me a protocol that will allow me to be active and athletic for the rest of my life. You don't have to live with back pain! It can be fixed! I hope to never be in the position of needing PT again, but if I do, I will absolutely be going back to CPR.

The Center for Physical Rehabilitation

Logan, thank you for taking the time to write this incredible review on Mindy, Tom and Trish at our Downtown clinic!

Mel Bazany 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Hopefully I won't need physical therapy again, but Mindy was incredible. I'd come back to this location to work with her in a heartbeat. Communicated effectively and met me where I was. Inquired about different areas of weakness that could be contributing to my hamstring strain that I hadn't otherwise considered, and inquired about all of the inside and outside of the gym activities I was participating in that could've contributed to my lack of progress. Very grateful for her guidance in my healing!

Mel, thank you for your kind words about Mindy at our downtown clinic! We love to hear about experiences like your own and are truly grateful for your trust in our team!

Fantastic experience: I thought I was on the path to surgery to repair a torn meniscus until I met Tom. Tom was able to get me back up and running in 6-8 weeks without me ever having to fully stop my physical activities and am now pain free approximately 10 weeks out. highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: The Center for Physical Rehabilitation is in a convenient location that has plenty of vouchered parking. The receptionist and my physical therapist were always cheerful and professional. My knee issue seems to have resolved itself by following the direction of my PT.

Tom and Betty Walworth 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is my 2nd time at the downtown center for rehabilitation, I worked with Tom. My first time I had hip issue. Tom did dry needling and therapy. The results was a full recovery. Tom gave me a set of exercises which I still do every day. It gave me my golf game back, I shot a 44 this summer. The second time was this past summer, I was lifting some heavy boards and running a drill. This combination weakened my wrist and killed my golf game. Tom gave me some exercise and I am fully recovered. Friendly staff and a great location with free parking. I would recommend Tom and his staff.

Todd Barnes 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: The team here is absolutely amazing. I was referred by my doctor because of what I thought was shoulder pain. After an assessment by Tom it was actually my spine. Tom introduced me to great exercises and they helped tremendously. I feel great while teaching and picking up kids is much easier now. I highly recommend the downtown location and I will let friends and family know. Thank you! Update: July 2023. I recently had to go back for a different injury and Tom was great again! Upon entering, Keeli was so helpful in explaining everything as well as scheduling. I highly recommend

Tim Brom 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I made an appointment because of back pain. Within 10 minutes of an examination Tom concluded it was actually a strained hip muscle pulling on the back muscles. He worked on the area and gave me some stretches and after my 2nd visit I was pain free. The entire staff is friendly and professional. It's been 2 weeks now and Tom and his staff have followed up with me on 2 separate occasions, checking on my condition. I would recommend this group to anyone in need of their services. Thank you to Tom and The Center for Physical Rehabilitation.

Michael Wright 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: 5 Stars! - I spent time at CPR between 10/22-3/23 rehabbing from my second surgery on my right knee. The team onsite made me feel very welcome and valued from the very first appointment until the last. Tom, Dustin, and Keely were always so good with knowing names, stories, asking about trips, etc. for me and the other clients I shared the space with. It really felt like a family work environment as well where I would definitely look to work if I were in that profession. As far as the actual rehab is concerned, the team did an excellent job with my recovery as well. They were always great to educate me throughout the process with not only the "how to" for each exercise/technique, but also the science behind the "why". Tom and Dustin both helped me throughout by providing out of session work out plans to complete on my own to continue the progression even when I was not onsite. All in all, I could not recommend the Center for Physical Rehabilitation enough for anyone in the Grand Rapids/West Michigan area.

The Center for Physical Rehabilitation

Evan Hile 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I came to the ionia ave location with severe back pain. On my first appointment, they made the goal of care clear: we may not fix the source of the injury, but we will make you more resilient and teach you how to manage pain symptoms. In 4 months of care we did exactly that. I am loose and close to pain free today thanks to the careful and considerate care i received from Dustin. We moved from massage and adjustment treatments to resolve tightness and pain to a comprehensive core strengthening regimen. I started unable to bend forward to pick up an empty box and i am back to deadlifting more than 100 pounds today and will soon be moving beyond that as i rebuild my core muscle groups. I found a new passion in pilates on Dustin’s recommendation and have been able to attend twice a week. My healing journey has mot been linear—i suffered a severe flareup that kept me bedridden for a week—but dustin worked with me to take it in stride. He worked with my insurance to increase my visits for 3 weeks and we went back to basics. At the end of those 3 weeks of intensive stretching and massage, the pain abated again and i was back on the path to wellness. This clinic is terrific. I recommend it to anyone!

The Center for Physical Rehabilitation

Evan, thank you for this thoughtful review of Dustin at our downtown location! It’s incredible to hear stories like your own and we are honored that we can help provide a great experience for you! Thank you for your trust in The Center!

Lura Barber 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I came to the Center in November 2022 after exacerbating an old knee injury and receiving a diagnosis of osteoarthritis and meniscus damage. The care I've received since then from Tom, Dustin, Keeli, and the rest of the team at the Downtown location has been second to none. First, my treatment plan has been tailored to my goals. I wanted to be able to return to weightlifting and volleyball, two activities I hadn't been able to do for years. Tom listened to where I wanted to go, assessed my capabilities, and created a plan that is paying off. Yesterday I squatted 155 pounds and deadlifted 135 pounds during my PT session without any pain or instability. Second, they make it easy for you to do the work. Location, parking, billing, tracking your home exercises are all made a lot easier than other PT providers I've experienced. Three, they make it fun. Tom and the team create an encouraging and engaging atmosphere and bring a ton of EQ to their work. I look forward to laughing a lot and working hard at each session. And when you inevitably hit a low point, they're right there with you to keep your spirits up and your eye on the prize. 10/10 would rehab again :D

Fantastic experience: After a not-so-great experience at a previous PT where I didn't see any progress, I'm already seeing progress after just 3 visits at the Center for Physical Rehabilitation. I feel heard and understood, and have been given treatment plans that are personalized to me, not just one-size-fits-all. Everyone in the Cascade office is so friendly and know me by name when I walk in!

Fantastic experience: This is my second time at the Center for Physical Rehabilitation-Downtown.. (different reasons). I had a shoulder issue for a year. Tom, once again was amazing in my recovery. He listens, asks questions and offers a clear and effective plan to get me back to a full range of motion. The whole staff is great- from the receptionists to the PT's. I will never go anywhere else for Physical Therapy.

David Jenkins 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Fact: The Center for Physical Rehabilitation (Downtown GR) helped me Walk again. I shambled into the Center at the end of July to rehab a shattered ankle. I had just turned 39 but was in a boot, using a walker to get around and utterly defeated. It is not hyperbole to say that Tom, Dustin and the team at CPR turned this around. Over 60 sessions ranging from therapeutic massage to strength/stamina building I recovered range of motion, was able to lose the walker, get up and down stairs again; I regained my independence. Towards the end they even had me running and box jumping (I wasn't even box jumping before the accident). My previous history with Physical Therapy had me skeptical on the benefits, but I can safely say my time with CPR has changed my mind completely. I cannot speak highly enough of what Tom and Dustin are doing at CPR. Coming to a PT session there was never a chore, it was more like going to hang out with friends. Friends who worked very hard to get you healthy again. The rapport and genuine care that they have with all their patients was increasingly obvious over my time there. No one wants to have to go to PT due to injury, but if you do, this is the Team to work with. Highly recommended. Thank you, Tom, Dustin and everyone at the Downtown CPR for all you did for me. This review does not do justice to the positive impact they had on my rehab. Looking forward to my tune up sessions and some fresh new Trivia.

Fantastic experience: What a great experience! I came to The Center for Physical Rehabilitation for help with knee pain. Tom listened to the issue and almost immediately was able to explain what was likely happening to cause the pain and to come up with a treatment plan. The plan included stretching and strengthening exercises to do at home without a huge time commitment. The center's environment was friendly and rapport was great every time. I'd highly recommend Tom and The Center for Physical Rehabilitation.

Fantastic experience: The Center For Physical Rehabilitation was so awesome and supportive as I worked on rehabbing an injured ankle. The location was perfect, easy to get to and conveniently located close to home. Parking in downtown GR is easy if you have the MOTU app, there were ALWAYS street spots available. They do have a parking ramp and they do validate parking, but honestly, the street parking was super convenient for me. But the real appeal of the Center for Physical Rehabilitation Downtown is the people! My PT, Dustin, was super supportive and the perfect mix of teacher / coach! He got my ankle back to regular activity levels in no time! Highly recommend them!

Cheryl Haring 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Received excellent PT care from the downtown location. Tom was great about listening to my sciatica issues, provided appropriate stretching and strengthening exercises, followed up each session with adjustments as needed, and was very thorough and patient answering all my questions. Very personable and knowledgeable and good with feedback. I had some initial doubts about one of the stretches he put into my program (that dreaded cobra one!), but it turns out that was one of the biggest factors in helping ease my sciatica pain. Dustin was equally knowledgeable for one of my appointments when I had to reschedule. The front staff is helpful and friendly, parking is easy with their validated passes, and the facility is super clean and fully prepped for any PT needs. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: CPR got me in the day after I called for help. I had a bad bout of vertigo which had been on going for a week; Dustin @ CPR zeroed in on my problem areas and gave me exercises that cured my vertigo. These exercises will be useful if my ear chrysalis get out of wack again.

Fantastic experience: I came to the downtown location after months of experiencing an unstable shoulder that started causing nerve pain down my arm. I saw Dustin Karlik and he was amazing. He focused on strengthening the movements I was most concerned about and my nerve pain disappeared after just a few visits. He made sure to accommodate all problems that I was experiencing and made me feel more comfortable with the exercises that once scared me. The facility is always clean and the staff is amazing. Parking is validated as well!
