Orthopaedic Rehab Specialists Physical Therapy - Ann Arbor

Fantastic experience: Dave is the best. He provides in depth massage, dry needling, cupping, scraping, as well as very responsive, tailored exercise regimes. And remembers details you mention! Haven’t found anyone quite like him. Also scheduling team is super great and smooth.

Fantastic experience: I've been here numerous times for 2 different injuries. Both times, David was extraordinary. When surgeons thought my running days were likely over, David provided a plan and exercises that got me much farther than I thought possible. The staff is superb as well.

Fantastic experience: I was nervous about going for therapy and was so glad that I chose this team. The staff are kind and caring. They personalized my exercises and strength therapy to meet my needs. They listened when I explained the pain and never rushed me or pushed me past what I could do. Sean was great and helped me to get my mobility back. I cannot thank them enough for all they did for me. The whole team was amazing from the start and throughout the experience.

Fantastic experience: I came here for TMJ/jaw pain, and received wonderful physical therapy treatment. The therapists and therapy students demonstrated that they truly cared and were always prepared for me when I came. It is about 2-3 years since I had therapy here- and I am still so grateful for the treatment that they provided, and I feel I am still benefiting positively from it. Thank you!!

Fantastic experience: This is a great place with kind and caring staff. They personalize your therapy plan to fit your needs. I never felt rushed and they listen. I highly recommend David and this facility. Thanks to them for helping me.

Fantastic experience: I visited ORS Physical Therapy for treatment of my TMJ, and I cannot recommend them enough! Dave, my therapist, provided exceptional care and developed a highly effective treatment plan tailored to my condition. When I first started, I struggled with stiffness in my neck, tightness in the muscles around my jaw, and an asymmetrical mouth opening caused by complications from a previous treatment plan. Dave worked with me to strengthen my TMJ-related muscles and helped me regain proper function. By the end of my sessions, I experienced significant improvement: no more pain in my jaw or surrounding muscles, and a more symmetrical mouth opening. I am incredibly grateful for Dave’s expertise and dedication. If you're looking for professional and compassionate physical therapy, ORS is the place to go!

Fantastic experience: Knowledgeable Therapists. Attention to Detail. Personal Attention. Superior Therapy Methodology. This is the 5th and last Physical Therapy clinic I will ever use. If I need P.T. again I will go -NO WHERE ELSE- but Orthopaedic Rehab Specialists, P.C. ANN ARBOR. Even driving 30 minutes and passing several other P.T. clinics to get there, I always received excellent therapy. I'm glad I found this clinic and you will be too. They are the best in the area.

Fantastic experience: The team here is amazing! I came in with severe jaw pain and after about two months I’m leaving feeling stronger and with the knowledge needed to continue healing. Dave is incredibly responsive to your needs and abilities, Anna is on top of everything front desk related, the other PT’s are a joy to work with, and all the rehab aides provide kind and clear directions.

Fantastic experience: ORS hands down the best place to go for PT! 10/10!! My therapist David is excellent with working with my sore shoulders and arms. I feel so much better now. He is the best and the office staff is amazing and very helpful!

Fantastic experience: After knee replacement surgery, I went for nine weeks to Orthopedic Rehab Specialists on Jackson Road in Ann Arbor. Initially, I went three times a week and then twice a week. First of all, I was able to get in almost immediately. I called a few other physical therapy places when I was looking for a place. The phones were never answered, nor a message returned. When I called ORS in Ann Arbor, a real person answered (who I later came to know as the wonderful Anna), and I was able to get in right away. Anna is extremely helpful and managed my appointments and help with insurance coverage, and she is such a nice person. I came to know Dave the first day and he is the perfect blend of friendly and professional. He always listened to my concerns and knew just the right exercises to give me so that I would continue to progress. The whole atmosphere is one of being friendly and yet encouraging to all of its patients. Many thanks to Leah, Sean, Paul, and Owen who were helping me move forward while at the same time not let me “slack off.” If you are looking for a place for physical therapy, call ORS first.

Fantastic experience: Phenomenal, professional people. I have so much respect for all these folks. They treated me with respect, took care of my issues and left me with so many helpful ideas for the future. Will highly recommend them to my friends and family. ❤️❤️

Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff and attentive to needs! Easy to schedule appointments and work around your schedule. Every treatment plan is individualized. Highly recommend for any and all PT needs!

Negative experience: Beware of Brandon! I have two bulging disks in my lower back and have chronic back pain. The first 2 therapists I worked with were good and I felt like I was making improvement. Then came Brandon. He is a partial owner and was filling in this session. He is completely unqualified to treat back pain. He likes to poke around with his thumbs and doesn't like to listen when it gets painful. I saw him do this with other patients also. After he aggravated my injury with his thumb he asked me to do many exercises in positions I was not comfortable with. In good faith I did them and my pain exploded. I have not since recovered. BEWARE OF BRANDON!

Fantastic experience: I started having severe vestibular problems and ORS was able to get me in within a week of calling. Dave and team were excellent to work with. I was very nervous before my first session and Dave made the experience tolerable. He never pushed past my capacities and was great about giving me frequent breaks. ORS helped me get back to functioning during a very stressful time in my life. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I was in so much pain when I started doing PT for my knee ! The attention to detail and the compassionate work that David and his team have to offer exceeded my expectations tremendously! The exercise, cupping, and added heat and cold therapy really helped keep me on track to getting better. Very knowledgeable and professional and fun group to work with! Thank you for fixing me!

Fantastic experience: Worked with David for my TMJ. I felt safe and comfortable in the space and with the staff. All very friendly and enthusiastic about helping people heal. And my jaw doesn’t hurt anymore (a big plus)! I’d recommend this place to anyone, and I’ll be going back for any future needs.

Fantastic experience: Dave and his team are awesome! They worked to make my back feel great again.

Fantastic experience: Awesome Service and Staff! My shoulder pain was really wrecking my arm wrestling career until I came to ORS in Ann Arbor! I woke up in pain, lost matches, and couldn't even make a basic rue for the Potatoes Au Gratin. Thankfully, Dave nailed the sore muscles with his god thumb and I'd pay Sarah to massage my shoulder for days. I was born to be a Roman king, and ORM made this clear. The other staff were all very helpful, friendly, kind and funny! Highlight of the mornings :) I will buy them lunch so they talk to me again. I don't play favorites. Seriously though, they did a really good job and were a lot of fun. My shoulder feels much better after they fixed whatever it is I did was done to it. I got a huge rubber band to launch water balloons this summer too. Great leaving prize. I think it was for being customer of the year. I'm back to hustlin bills from meatheads at Planet Fitness.

Fantastic experience: These folks really know what they're doing. I've been working with Sarah and my body and movement have transformed and improved so much. I would not have thought it possible before. They're very perceptive, understand exactly how the body works, and have all the equipment you could need. Comfortable and spacious environment. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Great staff. Easy scheduling. Modern equipment and methods.

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend David and his team enough. The care they provide is compassionate, knowledgeable, and intelligent. It’s a well worn statement but in this case, it applies- “above and beyond”. My symptoms have vastly improved because David listens, investigates, advocates and implements.

Fantastic experience: Entire Ann Arbor staff was friendly and helpful. Ifelt that I was getting stronger with each visit.

Fantastic experience: Ater knee replacement surgery Dave did a great job helping me get back to biking and swimming. I liked the size of the facility and the fact it was never crowded. They had all the right equipment.

Fantastic experience: I was broken and now I am fixed! I’d been suffering from shoulder and neck pain for months. Orthopedic surgeon said it was probably nerve damage and suggested PT. After working with Dave and his team I started seeing results very quickly and after a month, have no pain at all- and feel like I have a good game plan if it happens again in the future. The team in the Ann Arbor office took the time to explain everything to me and made sure I understood the exercises. Overall great experience!

Fantastic experience: The Orthopedic Rehab Specialist is the only place I would go for therapy. They are tuff but making sure that you get the help and care you need. They are friendly, compassionate,. They are wonderful young adults. I highly recommend anyone in need of services to give them a call.

Fantastic experience: Dr.Dave has all the machines and equipment you need to rehab from your injury. I have had back problems my entire life and decided to go in for physical therapy. Dr. Dave designed exercises specifically for my condition and I am feeling better and better. You have to follow up at home but that's easy when you see progress being made.

Fantastic experience: I was very pleased with the care that David Arend gave me. He not only Looked at areas that I had problems with but found places that were not bothering me that were also related to my problem. Dave gives me a thorough work out that has given me healing results.

Fantastic experience: Had back surgery, was here for about two months. Very helpful in the recovery process. Takes things slow, and address your needs. Dave was particularly a pleasure to deal with because he knew how to ease you into things and what exactly my body needed to recover. Very smart. Would definitely seek his help in the future (hopefully later than sooner) I’ve been to other facilities to seek help with my back and have never experienced the care or knowledge that they’ve given me to help with my future.

Fantastic experience: I have had a great experience with each time I attended rehab. I do want to come back but will have some surgery first. June is when I will be able to return and am looking forward to it. Thank you for all you do.

Fantastic experience: Ann Arbor has just gained the best Physical Therapist when they gained Dave! My son had an injury from sports and Dave had him back on the field faster than the odds were expected! I myself have personally gone to Dave and he saved me from surgery. If your doctor recommends PT, this is the person to see! Caring, Compassionate, and Knowledgeable. He will take the time to answer all of your questions!

Fantastic experience: Dave is very professional yet kind and warm. He does a very personalized evaluation and Taylor’s treatments and exercises to my condition and daily status. I’ve been to other well known Pt practices without receiving this kind of targeted and well diagnosed treatment.

Fantastic experience: Outstanding front reception support and hospitality. PT with Renee is top notch and the best PT, personal attention, and professionalism I have received to date and I have received PT services at several locations thus far. Very individualized PT program and friendliness all around from all staff.

Fantastic experience: I have had P.T at various places and for different reasons. To date,I have had about 5 visits at ORS. It is the most excellent treatment with an efficient, professional support support staff. My PT is David. He gets to the issue quickly and uses a variety of techniques that are easing my pain. If you need P.T I highly recommend this place. Just ask your Primary Care Provider, be it a NP or physician, to refer to them.

Fantastic experience: I had a very good experience with physical therapy at this location. The therapists and assistants were all very good, pleasant, and well organized. They keep the facility very clean and it was never crowded. A lot of personal attention. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: There are lots of good options for PT in Ann Arbor, but I particularly enjoyed this office. Good atmosphere and attentive care. Plus it was really effective and my neck and shoulder are substantially better thanks to Dave and colleagues.

Fantastic experience: I've had TMJ pain for almost 10 years. I've seen dental specialists and doctors to no avail. I recently started treatment with Dave and have felt so much pain relief! After years of being told there is nothing that can be done except to take pain medicine or muscle relaxers, I've finally found something that works. Don't hesitate to see Dave if you are experiencing TMJ pain. He's a life-saver!

Fantastic experience: Wonderful experience with David and everyone at ORS in Ann Arbor.

Fantastic experience: Dave and Melissa are the best! They listen, pay attention to your needs and your workouts, and are dedicated to improving their clients situation. I can tell they truly care. Also, everyone on staff is so nice and laid back. It's clear they are happy and have fun doing what they do!

Fantastic experience: I 'graduated' PT and while I'm happy I feel much better, I will certainly miss the friendly workers at the Ann Arbor location. I went in for pain and weakness in my maturing hands after being told by a surgeon to just take meds and that surgery would possibly be needed. Ummm, nope. I explored the option of PT and I feel confident that surgery will be a LONG time off, if ever, and I'm not taking ANY meds. I saw Dave and Anna most days along with a few others (Karen, Sarah?) who were outstanding, professional, caring and friendly.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Rene off and on for many years and have referred several people to her, two who went to see her. She now works for this group.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend therapy at Orthopedic Rehab Specialists PT. The facility is clean and the equipment is thoroughly cleaned between every use. Dave Arend was knowledgeable and attentive to my recovery. The PT techs, Karen and Anna truly enhance the experience with their positive encouragement. Stephanie in the office is welcoming and sorts out the insurance for you. Clearly I had great experience!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Orthopaedic Rehab on Jackson Ave in Ann Arbor. Friendly and helpful employees from reception to the therapists. I’m working with Karen and Sara on the therapy part and they’re both fantastic. They manage your rehab and modify to make sure you’re doing the right exercises at the right time. While being patient, friendly, and upbeat throughout my visits. And since we’re still in the midst of the pandemic, they’re making sure to clean equipment thoroughly after each use. And everyone wears masks.

Fantastic experience: Received Rehab Therapy for my shoulder for about a month. Every one there was excellent and very helpful. From the office staff to the PT staff and PT Therapists. Very creative in their therapy techniques that really helped heal my should pain. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I was treated at the Ann Arbor clinic and I was very satisfied with professional care and nice atmosphere. I definitely recommend this place for your PT needs.

Fantastic experience: Great leadership from the top down! Quick precise rehab from these professionals got me going again!

Fantastic experience: ORS is the best and Renee is the cherry on top! Love her and will be back to work with her again. Came in with bad neck and back pain. Discharging 10000 times better. All of the staff is personable and extremely friendly! 10/10 would recommend to all my family and friends.

Fantastic experience: Lovely Staff Super Clean Well Spaced Out!!!!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to the Ann Arbor office for 3 weeks now, due to a neck and arm issues from working from home . The care has been great, I continue to improve every week, and went from constant pain to no pain at all and greater flexibility. The staff are wonderful, so friendly and helpful. They are constantly cleaning, which has made me feel safe while being there. I would highly recommend this practice !!

Fantastic experience: Great customer service, friendly and knowledgeable staff!

Fantastic experience: I love the one therapist treatment plan. Also, everyone there is very pleasant and friendly. They really care about helping people get back to their “normal “. I would not hesitate to recommend ORS.

Fantastic experience: I went to the ORS on Robinson Rd in Jackson. Very clean, super nice staff, very attentive to each person's needs. Their billing department could use a little updating to streamline the billing process, but it may also be due to insurance too. They did resolve any issues that did arise in a timely manner, but I advise to save receipts for co-pays. I would go no other place for physical therapy.

Fantastic experience: These girls are the best! Had geeat results with my hip bursitis and am now going back to them for shoulder issues.

Fantastic experience: Renee and Stephanie have been SUCH a blessing to me! I started physical therapy feeling as if my shoulder blades were glued to my spine, due to stress, fibromyalgia, and a past motor vehicle injury. Renee and Stephanie brought healing to my back, using their knowledge and skills, and in guiding me to take an ACTIVE part in my healing. Renee and Stephanie are both SO kind, patient and sweet, it is a SAD thing to be discharged! Renee is SO passionate about people’s health, their center offers a continuing community wellness program, as well as “tune-ups” as needed, after discharge! WHAT A WONDERFUL BUSINESS! May God bless Renee and Stephanie both, for their service to the health of their clients!
