My doctor had told me that I needed a hip replacement after X-rays and an exam. He also sent me to physical therapy. I went to pt for about 6 weeks but it did not help at all. Some of the exercises they gave me seemed to make my pain increase. My niece had been going to University Physical Therapy and told me how much they had helped her, so I began going there. And it felt like a miracle! After only one week I felt better, and now after 6 weeks I feel like a different person. Part of my reassment was how much time it took me to walk a certain distance. After only 6 weeks I could walk that distance in half the time with NO pain! The receptionist there is always pleasant and very helpful. My personal therapist (Ares) is constantly encouraging and quick to notice if I'm having any trouble with a certain movement or exercise. All of the therapists there are friendly and encouraging. The whole atmosphere there is warm, friendly, and cheerful. Please believe me...it's a place where you almost look forward to going! I guess it would not be a good thing to mention the name of the place where I first went...it has a very large presence in Roanoke, but the University is THE place to go if you want to improve quickly and more easily. It seems hard to believe but I wouldn't be very surprised to find that I won't have to have surgery at all. Trust this...University is the best place to go!!! read more

I received 3+ months of PT after knee surgery at University Physical Therapy on Brambleton Ave. I am very happy with the progress I made . Attending twice a week I also witnessed others improving and happily being discharge. I was not weight bearing for 6 weeks and began my therapy within a week post surgery to regain my range of motion and to stretch and strengthen my legs. I was always made to feel welcome when the therapists greeted me by name. Tyler is very knowledgeable and gave me the direction for regaining the ability to walk again. Each PTA give me the best therapy I deserved. I was concerned before attending due to Covid but felt comfortable with the shared concern and and cleanliness of the equipment . When discharged I was given a list of exercises to continue on my own and they all gave me their best wishes. I have and will continue to recommend UPT to others. read more

University Physical Therapy was my first PT experience, and it greatly exceeded my expectations! I visited the clinic twice a week, for roughly 13 weeks, to recover from my ACL reconstruction surgery. The therapists and PTAs were welcoming and knowledgeable about my injury. I worked primarily with PTA Tyler (Ty). He applied a variety of workouts and techniques that showed continuous progress during my appointments. Aside from the technical skills the staff exhibited, they were also immensely personable. The staff goes out of their way to greet you and engage with you on a personal level. If you are looking for a competent staff that will push you to recovery, I would highly recommend University PT on Brambleton. Shoutout to: Ty Nick Johnny read more

I went to the guys at Apperson after my first knee replacement February 2017. Anthony Redd was my guy! He and the rest of the staff were wonderful! They work you hard & push you, but that's what I needed. Needless to say, when I had my second knee replaced December 2018, they were the first I called. I asked for Anthony again and he guided me through with the expertise I expected and needed. He and Deanna Palatucci answered all my endless questions and explained all the anatomy and how everything worked now. This is a great bunch of clinicians, they are caring and keep up to date on new innovations to help their patients. Can't leave out the rest of the crew - Ben, Tracey, and Holly. Hands down the best in Roanoke! read more

I only have good things to say about University Physical Therapy. They worked with me prior to my Rotator Cuff Surgery and they significantly helped me with ROM and strength. Since my surgery, I have been in sessions with them for the last 8 weeks and I have improved dramatically in that time thanks to them. I work mostly with Nick and Tyrone and they are awesome! They are extremely dedicated to their work and to my recovery. They work me hard, explain everything that they are doing, are always encouraging and are also compassionate. I would recommend University PT to anyone who needs physical therapy or any of the other services that they offer. read more

Friendly, professional and competent. My elbow was throbbing most of the day and throughout the night. The cortisone injection only lasted 30 days and pain meds provided minimal relief so my sleep was significantly impacted. Tyler Bowersock and team began working on my elbow (and shoulders b/c that was related to the elbow problem) and the results came quickly. Within 2 weeks the pain level dropped from a 7/8 to a 3/5 and I started to sleep better at night. Within 2 months, I was pain free and back in the gym. Additionally, he gave stretches and exercises to do in the gym and home to prevent re-injury. read more

Tyler Bowersock and his team of physical therapy professionals at University PT provide a total healing, caring, helping, and nurturing environment...and treat their patients as if they were family members. They are some of the most knowledgeable, competent, and compassionate healthcare professionals with whom I have ever worked. As a physician, I am extremely selective of my personal healthcare providers--and I can't say enough about the quality of care I have received. University PT has my highest recommendations! --Jody Hershey, M.D read more

What a wonderful experience. From broken to better with the help of a very supportive environment and group of committed professionals. Dr. Bowersock and his staff were instrumental in my recovery and ongoing improvement. Super clean facilities and concise goals in this positive setting made this experience much easier than I had anticipated. It was a pleasure to be there and work with such dedicated and professional therapists. Thanks for making the pain and the recovery a much easier journey. read more

Second time going to University PT. Both times have been a nagging injury I wanted to get check out (no doctor referral), and both times Tyler has been able to boil down cause, related aggravations, and treatment plan. The treatment there is uplifting, educational, and effective. The directions I received on discharge were clear and helpful (I followed the exercises and stretches religiously as prescribed) and have not had any more issues with the two injuries University PT helped treat. read more

If you are active and experience an injury and/or surgery and want to remain active, this is the PT for you. If you want to become more active with a problematic knee, shoulder, back etc..., this is also the place for you! University Physical Therapy has taught me so much about my back and knee and helped me recover from surgery and maintain my active life. PT doesn't stop at the front door at UPT and I am very grateful for that! read more

From the moment I entered the clinic, I knew it was a highly professional facility. The reception staff was always courteous and helpful. The physical therapists gave me all the attention and guidance I needed to recover from my recent surgery. All of the equipment was well maintained and sanitized after each use. I hobbled in with the aid of a rollator and after a few weeks of physical therapy, I CAN WALK AGAIN! read more

Although at first I was skeptical about physical therapy , I changed my mind after visiting University Physical Therapy. Due to their professionalism and effectiveness, I now, after 6 weeks of therapy, feel better than I ever thought possible. I was very impressed with Deanna and Lauren and their efficiency and level of care. I continue to do the exercises they taught me and I am doing well. read more
