My left elbow and forearm are getting better every time I go to physical therapy.
I have Parita, Patrick, Shane, and the whole team to thank for that! Thank you so much!
Even though it’s not fully healed yet, I can feel real improvement after each session. They’re professional, supportive, and clearly care about helping me recover.
I’m really grateful for their help and highly recommend them to anyone needing physical therapy!“

“Dr. Lin and Dr. Park
Over the summer of 2025, I was assaulted. Among the injuries I sustained, the most significant were skull base fractures and fractures of my orbit, which led the emergency doctors to diagnose me with traumatic optic neuropathy. After consultations with maxillofacial specialists and ophthalmologists, I was told I was legally blind, 20/230, and that this was now my life.
Devastated, I reached out to Dr. Lin who was highly referred by a longtime family friend. She felt he and his team should see me and offer other opinions. While Western medicine may refer to Dr. Lin as a “physical therapist,” I don’t think that language fully defines what he does. At our first meeting, he was gentle, attentive, and deeply aware of my condition. His method is difficult for me to fully articulate, but it was unlike anything the physicians I had seen before had provided.
Dr. Lin created a treatment plan in collaboration with his in-house acupuncturist, Dr. Park, and the two of them treated me in concert. I visited them about once a month. Dr. Park performed acupuncture targeting specific hemispheres they agreed would be beneficial, while Dr. Lin used manual techniques, pressing, pulling, and adjusting different parts of my face and body.
One moment stands out clearly in my memory. As Dr. Park had acupuncture needles placed in the points she selected, Dr. Lin pressed a section of my face under my eye with significant pressure. The instant he released, my nasal passage cleared dramatically. I had been so focused on my vision that I ignored other parts of my body that also needed attention.
This is what impressed me most: their understanding of the interconnectedness of the human body, and the way each system affects the next. Even though I came in focused on a single issue, they recognized that other problems could be developing or stagnating and that treating one area would likely set off a domino effect. They addressed everything collectively rather than isolating one symptom.
Dr. Park also gave me homework: changes to my diet, foods to avoid, preferred cooking methods, and even the temperature of liquids I should consume. Detailed instructions that had never been offered nor had I considered.
Western medicine had only offered me chemical treatments or surgeries to remove or implant. Dr. Lin was one of the few who was relieved I had not had a surgery and was not taking medication. In my most desperate moment, when the reality of vision loss was fresh and overwhelming, they helped keep hope alive.
I am happy to say that I have since improved to 20/40 vision. Slowly, every day I feel a little better. I am not claiming that Dr. Park and Dr. Lin performed miracles. What I do believe is that the treatment they provided stimulated something meaningful in my recovery. Maybe I would have healed to this extent without them, maybe not. But I wholeheartedly feel that their treatment encouraged my body to heal itself.
I am four months removed from the incident, I have my vision back and I feel great. Recovery is not complete, but I am in a place now that my Ophthalmologist told me never to expect.
Thank you to both Dr. Lin and Dr. Park. I could not be more grateful.“

“I went to Impact Physical Therapy because my husband went to them after his hip replacement surgery. I worked with Ryan Stuhr, one to one. I needed shoulder surgery and wanted to strengthen my shoulder before the surgery, hoping for a better recovery. Ryan helped me so much I am no longer planning to have the surgery. I am pain free. I couldn't even lift a coffee cup when I started working with him. I have also gone to Ryan for back and knee issues and he has helped me tremendously. At Impact you always work one on one with a therapist and I think it makes a huge difference. Ryan has quite literally changed my life and I will go back to him whenever I need to work on something that hurts or needs improvement.“

“Neck and Beck Medical Center is owned and operated by Corey Gould, who is not only highly knowledgeable, but a person who is understanding of your concerns and only cares in helping you feel and get better. They have numerous machines in achieving quantifiable results and a staff, from the moment you walk in, to all of the physical therapists that assist you throughout the procedure(s). Neck and Back was recommended to me by several physicians and has, signifcantly, helped me through some challenging and difficult times and the only Physical Therapy facility I would recommend.“

“The outcome is not bad but I get a lot of bruises and pain when they manipulate the tender points“

“I went here for treatment for my kneecap and had a great experience. The staff is very professional and kind. Highly recommend!“

“After a hip replacement, I turned to Nick Nosek and his team for physical therapy—and they delivered. With their expert care and encouragement, I went from constant pain to pain-free gardening again! They gave me my life back, and I can’t recommend them highly enough!“

“I feel like I'm getting care above and beyond what I expected. I often spend more than an hour with the therapist. Never have to wait for equipment. Tons of parking.“

“I have been to Professional Physical Therapy several times , most recently for a back/ hip problem. Mike , my therapist, was awesome and I would highly recommend the practice and therapists.“
