Manual Physical Therapy Specialists

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend! Kari & Megan were excellent! Staff is friendly and super helpful, always accommodating my ever-changing schedule.

Fantastic experience: Kari is amazing. He's the PT all the PTs want to go to when they need treatment. I carry his business card with me so I can always recommend him wherever I am.

Negative experience: While I greatly appreciate the therapists, their billing procedure/department will have me completely unwilling to ever return. At no point were they able to tell me what I would owe. Just maybe 10%. Whatever that is. Not even the lady that handles all their billing could tell me. I kept calling and calling. Well I just got a $480 bill in the mail because my insurance didn’t cover a dime even tho they said they were in network and should be covered. If you guys can’t handle the insurance processing and give your patients peace of mind that they won’t be screwed after receiving service, you have no business being in healthcare. Insurance sucks, everyone knows that. But either accept it and processes it effectively or don’t accept it at all. Somehow other practices are able to figure it out and provide an accurate representation of what clients will owe. Additionally I went in January and it is now almost May and I’m only just now receiving this bill.

Fantastic experience: Excellent experience from a caring & attentive staff.

Fantastic experience: Manual Physical Therapy Specialists provided a perfect balance of hands-on therapy and personalized exercises that helped relieve my pain and improve my mobility. Not only are they highly skilled, but they are also incredibly kind, patient, and supportive. I always felt heard and cared for throughout the process.

Fantastic experience: Kari and the staff at Manual Physical Therapy Specialists made my experience in working through my frozen shoulders not only tolerable, but successful. The people there are friendly, knowledgeable, professional and caring. Most importantly, they know what they are doing and it works! Laurie Perrelli

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing from the office staff to the workers to the other patients. I would highly recommend this place and any of their PT’s to anyone :) I saw Kari and he is great, he is not only personable but also very communicative about each step of the PT process and helps me understand whats going on with my body every step of the way.

Fantastic experience: Manual Physical Therapy changed my life! Kari provided me answers for a chronic back problem that has affected by life for almost 20 years. He is thorough, kind, engaging and develops an individualized plan based on your needs. I cannot recommend them enough!!

Fantastic experience: After knee replacement surgery, Kari helped me tremendously! He is gentle, knowledgable, and very effective. I highly recommend this practice!

Fantastic experience: Very impressed with my therapist (Megan). She was very thorough, very knowledgeable, and worked with me at my level, taking time to insure I was doing any exercises correctly to make sure I was targeting the proper areas. Personable and kind as well. Great office staff as well.

Fantastic experience: PK is my awesome therapist. His knowledge, intuition & expertise are humbling. He always acts in a professional manner, and continuously inquires if I need clarification on any exercises or modality. We are lucky to have him in our area!!!

Fantastic experience: Extremely knowledgeable therapists. They answer all my questions and help me understand the why for doing things.

Fantastic experience: Excellent service. Always on time and caring therapists are very skilled.

Fantastic experience: Great practice. I have gotten help with headaches and TMJ pain as well as help with knee instability and pain.

Fantastic experience: This physical therapy office is wonderful. Everyone is so friendly and accommodating. Kari is the best physical therapist I have ever had. I did see PK and Elena just for a couple of visits and would recommend them also

Fantastic experience: I worked with PK and he was really amazing. He explains as he goes along, gave home exercises, and helped me get some at home tools that will be helpful as I continue to heal. Ananya in the office is amazing. The office is in high demand and she made it easy to get on the cancellation list and then secure appointments. I would so highly recommend this office and manual PT. Ananya is also a gem to talk to while you are waiting in reception!

Fantastic experience: I have been to Physical therapy multiple times before for various things. I will never go to any other place besides Manual Physical Therapy. The staff are nice and knowledgeable and use a method of treating the whole body to help the patient. I highly recommend them!

Fantastic experience: I had shoulder pain for 6 months and after 3 sessions here I feel great. Thank you again Kari!

Fantastic experience: PK and Kari are both knowledgeable and very good at what they do. I had a painful bout with knee osteoarthritis and after 6 weeks of physical therapy, I am pain free. I'm able to do all the activities I normally do, such as walking 3 miles and riding a bike 4-5 miles. Both PK and Kari knew exactly how to stretch and manipulate my knee/leg. It's clear they are dedicated to helping people lead pain free and productive, active lives.

Fantastic experience: Just finished with Kari. He’s very professional, listens and most importantly, my shoulder is functioning, which it wasn’t before PT. I also like that he and the other PTs focus on you and not 3 or 4 others at once. That’s one reason why I like it here and not my previous PT office. It's a small practice, but I like it and will come back for future needs. Highly recommended. Be prepared for a lot of hands on treatment (I found that very helpful). Nice selection of hours too, including evenings and early morning.

Fantastic experience: The staff and therapists are helpful, friendly and knowledgeable in their field. I highly recommend Manual Physical Therapist Specialists!

Fantastic experience: Kari is the best end of story! I had chronic upper and lower back pain due to my scoliosis and the work I was doing and he after one visit he knew exactly what was causing the pain and issues and the pain was alleviated immediately and now he is helping my daughter with her shoulder injury and she is already doing better so I highly recommend Kari been going to him for some years and I had seen other PT in the past and they do not use or know the same techniques that Kari knows.

Fantastic experience: I cannot express enough how much I am thankful for manual physical therapy center but mostly for my therapist, Keri he is absolutely and I can’t say it enough. ABSOLUTELY the best!! I have now been to him three times for two separate issues, and both times. He was able to get me back to feeling myself , instructing me how to take care of myself , as an exercises and things so I can stay on track, he knows exactly what he is doing, and knows exactly what areas needed to be Targeted to get me some relief of some very very excruciating pain. When I was first experiencing my issue he was willing to give up his lunch hour for Me because I was in needed to be seen more than one time a week, But of course he was booked (Because he’s that amazing) but he made it happen! I will never go to anybody else if I’m ever in need of physical therapy! again, amazing amazing amazing!!! Great caring nice staff and again AMAZING experience and outcome for my health!

Fantastic experience: Unique, patient, and caring approach to PT.

Fantastic experience: When I need therapy after my surgery I will come back. Thank you for your help I feel blessed! Sher Hensley

Fantastic experience: Great place for physical therapy, and the staff is great. Special thanks to Parthasarathy Sir for taking utmost care during the therapy. Thanks a lot!

Fantastic experience: Kari is a bit of a magician! He managed to relieve my back pain by stretching and working the appropriate muscles. I am extremely pleased with the outcome.

Fantastic experience: Very knowledgeable and helpful. I highly recommend this business to help you recover from your injuries or surgeries.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place for PT! Kari is very good at what he does and the staff is very friendly. I would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Coming to PT with PK has been a very good experience for my neck. I have regained more motion in my neck and will continue with my exercises now to maintain! Thank you so much for all that you have done to improve my "tightness" in my neck!

Fantastic experience: Kari was amazing. I have had back problems for the last 30 years. My back feels fantastic. I feel like I can move and do everything I want and need to do. Thank you so much!!

Fantastic experience: The best physical therapy... highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: This was my first time going to Manual Physical Therapy Specialists and I had a great experience using their services. Kari asked all the relevant questions during the exam then told me what he thought might be causing my issue. He explained the treatment and stretches etc. very well. The staff is very friendly and they run everything on time. I never had to wait past my scheduled time.

Fantastic experience: Sarthy is extremely intuitive and knowledgeable. He has made my quality of life much higher. Living with chronic conditions his guidance has much improved my situation. I would highly recommend him for PT.

Fantastic experience: I feel incredibly grateful to have been referred to Kari for my chronic neck pain due to hypermobility. Manual PT is way more specialized, hands-on, and effective (in my opinion) than standard PT. For my specific issues, Kari spent most of our time targeting my muscles' tension and dysfunctional pain patterns via physical manipulation. This, paired with some exercises, has noticably reduced my pain and the time between my lock-ups. Kari is also very kind and supportive during what is often a frustrating journey. My experience has been valuable enough that I have continued my sessions even after my health insurance stopped covering my visits. Thanks for all you do, Kari!

Fantastic experience: I enjoyed meeting Leah and working with Kari. I have had chronic back pain and his treatment improved my walk and decreased my pain. He taught me so much about strengthening hips and core to stabilize and support the back muscles. His skills and understanding of the body are outstanding and I thank him for his treatment and recommendations

Fantastic experience: Professional, knowledgeable, on-time and thorough. I appreciated the more hands-on techniques used as they always had more potential than just having a PT watch you do exercises. I would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: My doctor referred me to Manual Physical Therapy Specialists because of their unique approach to PT. My therapist was PK and he worked to identify exercises that isolated the necessary muscles to help strengthen the support I needed to release my pain. I am grateful for their services.

Fantastic experience: Great experience. This PT has helped me So much. It’s more specialized than regular PT and really diagnoses the problem and they give you solutions to correcting it.

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for the BEST physical therapy experience, then this is the place for you. The care and communication throughout my recovery was exceptional. While at the same time it was a team effort with Kari doing all the hard work so I could go home and do exercises to continue in the recovery process. PT is hard work but the progression at each appointment made it something to look forward to. I am so grateful for Kati’s kindness and expertise. You’ll also love his team members they are all very kind and professional.

Fantastic experience: Outstanding care, compassionate staff and has helped to make me feel better than I have in years.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Manual Physical Therapy. When you have an appointment, you are seen at your appointment time. I like the one-on-one therapy. The atmosphere is very relaxing. Your time is spent with the physical therapist the entire time. Best of all, the results from manual physical therapy is a great outcome for the problem you are being seen for. The receptionist(s) are very friendly and helpful in scheduling your appointments. If you need physical therapy I would suggest you try this. Thank you Kari for helping me get rid of the pain.

Fantastic experience: I appreciate the positive attitude of the therapist and the physical relief his therapy brought to me. I had been experiencing chronic pain which is now very much reduced. I also appreciate the exercises which I have been given and the fact that the therapist did not set painful goals for me.

Fantastic experience: Awesome helped me get my movement back in my neck after 15 years injury. Very easy to schedule appointments. I highly recommend Manual physical therapy and friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: Kari is hands down the best therapist I have ever met. He is an extremely knowledgeable, well trained, and skilled manual therapist and he has helped me with many issues over the years. As a fellow PT and patient, I can attest to the effectiveness of his treatments and recommend him to anyone seeking competent and thorough care.

Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Kari on and off for a variety of things for about four years. He is so knowledgeable about his trade. He's truly mastered manual physical therapy. I am worlds better than when I started! He's so patient and encouraging, as well as kind, funny, caring and down to earth. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: I was very satisfied with Kari's understanding, knowledge and treatment. I wouldn't think twice if I needed to see him in the future for PT.

Fantastic experience: I saw PK for a hip issue. After 5 sessions, I was able to walk and hike without pain.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend. Extremely qualified. If you have an injury or suffer from pain do not give up or settle with your symptoms. You need go to Manual Physical Therapy.

Fantastic experience: This was absolutely the best physical therapy I’ve ever received!

Fantastic experience: The BEST in area. Simply good, professional people, well educated in their field; and, they genuinely care about getting you healed! Will never go any place else for physical therapy! Thanks Kari and team!

Fantastic experience: Kari is great to work with. If manual PT is appropriate for your issue, he's incredible.

Fantastic experience: Kari did a fantastic job! Could have used a few more visits, but the insurance company doesn't agree! Oh well, the @ home exercises are helping as well. Thanks Kari, I appreciate your knowledge.

Fantastic experience: I have seen Kari for various things for the past 7ish years. I appreciate his expertise and I am always please with the results and progress made!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeking treatment for TMJ pain for YEARS and nothing was working. The pain was interfering with my everyday, yawning and eating were painful. After completing PT with Manual Physical Therapy Specialists, I am soooo much better! Before treatment, I couldn’t remember a day without a headache. Now it’s hard to remember the last day I had one. I was treated with respect and kindness. Anyone who suffers from TMJ knows how hard it is to find someone to believe the amount of pain you have. Not here! Thank you Manual Physical Therapy Specialist!

Fantastic experience: Kari was wonderful! I suffered with headaches and migraines for years with no relief, but after just a few weeks of treatment, I felt substantial improvement by the end of my treatments my migraines were gone. Thank you Kari!

Fantastic experience: Kari is AMAZING. My obgyn referred me to him when I was having severe pelvic pain during my pregnancy. There were days I could hardly move without crying from the pain. But when I started seeing Kari he helped with pain relief which allowed me to be able to function at home and my job. I highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: Kari is the best PT I've ever worked with

Fantastic experience: I think Kart is really an expert in his therapy, and the best I've ever had. He is thorough and kind in the delivery of his work . Thank you

Fantastic experience: I started having lower back pain about ten years back. With various physical therapy sessions, it became manageable, but not fully cured. When I had a recent flare up, I went to MPTS and had initial set of PT sessions. Each one of the PT sessions added confidence that I am recovering well. I feel much better now and I hope that with the remaining sessions I will be fully cured.

Fantastic experience: Kari is the absolute best! Once you see him you’ll never want to see anyone else!!

Fantastic experience: Excellent combination of manipulation and strengthening to achieve pain relief. Great guidance during exercises to make sure that they were done for maximum benefit. Listened to needs and concerns-usually knew before I did! Easy scheduling. Friendly. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I was under age 30 walking with a limp and had very limited mobility after a trimalleolar ankle fracture in which no one could help alleviate for 2.5 years until Dr. Kari. I had given up all hope after already going to physical therapy post surgery and frustrated when surgery reversal did not help my lack of mobility either. I had a very limited range of motion in my ankle, but Dr. Kari was able to help me gain 80-90% of my range back, and this is life changing for me! Dr. Kari pays attention to detail on body movement/ kinetic chain (so he worked on my knee and hip, as needed, even though I started only concerned about my ankle), and he listens to any and all concerns you have, no matter how minor. I cannot recommend Dr. Kari enough, and I will always be grateful for the 4 month investment and work he performed to help me get my mobility back.

Fantastic experience: Kari is very knowledgeable and skilled when it comes to manual therapy techniques and getting to the root of the problem. He is the PT’s PT that we all go to when we need help ourselves. He has a broad range of skills and genuinely cares about getting people back to where they can function again. I’ve been to his practice twice now and highly recommend him to family and friends!

Fantastic experience: Keri is very thorough in his evaluation. The therapy was great. He is very good at evaluating and locating the issues and working on them. I did get relief from the pain I was experiencing. I would definitely recommend him for anyone seeking PT.

Fantastic experience: Prior to second hip replacement, Kari had expertly addressed a nagging back problem by finding the points of resistance and carefully releasing tension. He worked gradually over the course of the sessions and built a "Home Exercise Program" that keeps me pain-free and sleeping better! So there was no doubt about requesting his knowledgeable and patient approach for post-surgery Physical Therapy. Kari also made sure I knew to rest and eat better; and to give the healing process time. Although the therapy stretches and exercises necessarily became more demanding, Kari watched and waited to make sure I was ready to do them. 7 weeks out of surgery and his post-surgery "HEP" sequence has allowed me to steadily regain strength and stability. Worth every bit of the time and work!

Fantastic experience: I wasn't even sure I needed physical therapy after I broke my kneecap. It didn't hurt anymore But Kari helped me walk with more balance and groundedness, turning my attention to hips and thighs. He was very attuned to what was going on in my body, explained everything to me, and treated me with compassion and humor. I am recommending him to everyone!

Fantastic experience: I went to see Kari due to a lower back injury that I suffered. He was referred to me through another Physical Therapist. I was immediately impressed with Kari's skillset and his attention to detail. He is simply one of the best.

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience working with Kari and noticed a significant difference in my pain levels after just the first few PT sessions! Over time I learned more about my body and how it functions, as well as how to take care of it so the same problems don't reoccur. Overall great experience with Kari, he cares about his patient's health and wellbeing; great person and PT, thank you!!

Fantastic experience: Incredible experience. Not only do my hips and back feel so much better, my form and technique as a fitness instructor has improved. I highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Kari is absolutely amazing! Not only is he a good person, but phenomenal at his job. I have done a lot of PT over the years and nothing has worked. The manual therapy he applies has created a muscle memorization to which my body has responded. I can now sleep without pain, my headaches have gone away, and I have much more range and motion to my body, hence activities. Thank you Kari, you are a true miracle worker!
