I absolutely recommend Body Gears Physical Therapy St. Louis with all of my heart and soul…read more JOANNE MACZA and her team have truly, literally, made me a better person. They not only helped me become pain free and put me back together, they also gave me the knowledge, skills and tools I need to help keep myself pain free, strengthen my body, and should I injure myself in the future, how to put myself back together. The human body will wreck itself trying to fix itself. After two kids and a slipped-disc back surgery, I had diastasis recti and a continual sore lower back. I would dread going to bed every night because I knew in the morning when I woke up my lower back muscles would be in so much pain. Some mornings I was not even able to bend over to touch my toes, but on my own pants, or sit on the floor to tie my shoes. After being an athlete all through high school and college, I knew this was not how the body was supposed to be, and not how my core nor my back should behave. I knew something was wrong with my core. I did not accept the idea that "this is how it is after two kids". TAKE THE TIME TO PUT YOURSELF BACK TOGETHER. Joanne not only helped me work to heal my diastasis recti and teach me isometric core exercises to continually keep my core strong for life, but also worked with me to release scar tissue from my back, and retrain my body to use the proper muscles for movement instead of the "work around" my body had created when my abs didn't work. My back muscles were doing all the work for my abs. She then retrained me how to sit, stand, walk, get out of bed, pick up my children, and finally how to hold myself and stay strong during workouts so I don't repeat any of these injuries again. Joanne and her team have literally given me my life back, and also given my husband his wife back, and my boys their mother back. For that I will be forever thankful. During my visits to physical therapy, I have watched Joanne teach a ballet dancer how to dance better, a baseball pitcher how to throw a ball better, a weight lifter how to lift better, and then me, how to do daily life things better. I'm convinced there is nothing Joanne doesn't know. She listens to what injuries you have, and then backtracks through your whole body to find the reason for the pain, and not just cure what hurts. She is concerned with making your body the best machine it can be, and how it can work in the most proper form. I highly recommend you go visit Joanne for anything that bothers you. She is a fantastic human being and great at her job, and honestly wants to help make you better.

I want to thank Joanne for giving me my life back. She definitely has the knowledge and compassion…read morefor this job. She is/was willing to talk with my doctors to make sure everyone was on the same page with my treatment. That does NOT seem to happen like it should now days. I drive an hour and a half to see her. She's worth every minute and penny I have to drive. I have given her information to others locally already. I know it's a drive but when you're in that much pain you'll drive to get it taken care of, with out all the man-made medicine. Between her and Ester, they are a great team. I don't want to forget the rest of the staff. They have all been great and very accommodating. I will be spreading the word about this facility and what a great job everyone in it does.

They have all been so kind to me throughout my rehabilitation. I would also like to mention the amazing decorations when you walk, your greate with a great warm welcome.

Athletico University City saved my shoulder!…read more Prior to dislocating my shoulder, I had been on the best workout routine of my life. I had been lifting 5 days a week and playing basketball 1-2 days a week. I had never had a previous serious injury, nor had I been to PT. From day 1, Athletico and their staff (special shout out to my PT Jake) were friendly, informative, made the process seamless, and most importantly knowledgeable and effective. Jake knew his stuff and was great at progressively increasing the difficulty and intensity of our sessions. Also, they accept insurance much more easily than other places, which is a plus! Great staff, service and facility. 10/10 overall.

After three visits and following most of their recommended exercises over a 6 week period, the results have been dramatic. My wife and I just returned from an active seven day trip of hiking and walking through some very hilly coastal treks in Mexico with no pain. This, according to our Fitbits, included average daily hikes of over 6 miles and climbing the equivalent of 40 flights of stairs.

Jesse diagnosed my athletic injuries, taught me how to correct my form, provided helpful personalized home exercises (with very helpful images), and helped me work her tips into the regular activities I do. I feel more balanced, less pain in the backs of my legs, and less prone to injurying myself. (I wish I had their help 30 years ago to learn a proper running and lunging technique). Much recommended! [Also they are extremely careful with covid - masking and substantial physical distancing. Very reassuring. Also scheduling online is a breeze.]

Whitney, at the front desk, is the heart of the operation. She knows everything and will try her best to get you in. HOWEVER, there are not enough appointments here and it can be tough to get a slot. The billing system seems like a mess. Early on, I paid by cash a few times (big mistake) and it took weeks to iron out what I owed. Then, later, I was randomly charged $100 I didn't owe. These are great folks, but they need a new billing system. Okay, money stuff done. Jen Duffie is an exceptional physical therapist. She helped me in my very worst moments; when I was dealing with excruciating pain. She's encouraging and non-judgmental. I've also been treated by Ashley Crain, as well at PTAS Jenny and Emily. All of them were great as well! This is where I would recommend any friends or family members go.

I have gone to 2 different physical therapists at this location and highly recommend it. First,…read moredesk staff are very warm and welcoming, always greeting me when I enter. The physical space is very clean, well organized and easy to navigate. Most importantly, the therapists are extremely good, very professional and most of all, very effective. I had Ken for vestibular therapy to resolve eye problems with dizziness, balance, and vision problems. I was amazed at how effective it was given what seemed to be strange activities. Due to a recent fall, I worked with Rachel Hermann on my hip. She made work, and it was work, fun yet very effective. She was excellent and I highly recommend her. I believe a professional should have good interpersonal skills as well as technical skills. She made what could have been tedious yet fun. I also appreciate getting hard copies of the exercises. I am now returning to her for PT on my knee!l

I initially heard about MAT from my cousin after complaining that I was frequently pulling my…read morecalves while running. He has gone to an MAT practitioner in Kansas City and raved about it. After investigating a bit more, I found Rachael and Root of Motion and decided to give it a try. The results, while gradual, were undeniable. Since starting MAT I haven't had a single calf pull during any of my runs or sprint workouts. Rachael is friendly and fun but a master of her craft and a true professional that takes pride in truly helping her clients. As an example of this, she often opts for 90 minute appointments; this is much more of a physical burden on her -- MAT is often a lot of work for the therapist -- yet she is willing to do it because she believes it yields better results for her clients. She also provides massage work as well; the combo of the two is fantastic. Of course MAT won't solve every problem. But if you've been suffering with injury, pain, or inflexibility, it may be worth a shot. If you're curious, I recommend giving Rachael and MAT a try.

I've never even written a Yelp review before but I feel so passionately about this!!…read moreI had bone cancer in my leg 10 years ago. In 10 years I've had 62 surgeries and 5 complete knee replacements in efforts to finally learn to walk and none were successful. (Due to tons of complications and infections but way too long to list all of that). After 10 years and 4 knees I had tried almost every therapist known to man in this area with no luck... Dan Kelly changed my life. I am waking better than I ever have with this 5th knee. I'm in tears even typing this. I have made the most incredible progress I never even dreamed of. If it's up to you, PLEASE do it for yourself and ask for them. I'm almost completely walking (correctly) and with no assistance... I haven't done that since I was 12. THANK YOU DAN

With over 15 years of experience, she specializes in manual therapy techniques, myofascial release and manual lymphatic drainage. She offers Endosphères Therapy and the Superhuman Protocol which is part of my self care routine. Endosphères Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses compressive microvibration to improve blood circulation and lymphatic drainage. Personally, this makes me regular, I lose a lot of water 3-5 days after and I have increased energy. The Superhuman Protocol is a three-step process designed to optimize cellular health. I'm not a doctor but it makes me feel a lot better, stronger, sharper in thoughts, etc. I can tell a big difference. I was skeptical at first but this is now part of my self care routine for over a year now.

I have debated writing this review for some time now but here goes…read more Thera Plus is a well equipped studio. I think they are trained and knowledgable. However I think they concentrate more on manipulation of an injury and working out their clients than fixing the problems though explanations and exercises. I have had two injuries and both times was not explained what was wrong or why the injuries had occurred. I was just put on the table and my muscles were massaged and pressed on etc. No real discussion of any sort. Very frustrating. I was basically ignored. At the end of two of my sessions I specifically asked what I could do at home to help the injury and prevent it and was told "don't do anything". Literally I walked in was put on a table and at the end was asked "when can I see you again" No discussions, no explanations, nothing. This did not sit well with me so I found another physical therapist. I had a complete explanation of my injury with a skeletal example of why it happened and exercises to fix and prevent the problem. The therapist spent over an hour with me. I am happy to say after a few weeks my injury immediately began to heal. I was sent home with exercises printed out for me. I also have a set of exercises that will help to strengthen my muscles to keep from injuring myself again. So glad I looked elsewhere.
