The entire team was wonderful to work with. Pat and Derek did a great job of getting my shoulder back to normal. The entire team did a great job of listening to my concerns and developing an individualized plan to get me back to 100%.

Payton Olszewski

10/10 if i could rate higher i would. They not only helped me with pt but helped me get ride of my bad juju. Very kind and attentive could not have found a better pt spot. my leg is stronger than ever! Shout out Pat Boyle 10/10 he even takes podcast recommendations

Had an excellent experience doing pre-op PT with Ashleigh for ACL reconstruction surgery. She went above and beyond to help me feel prepared and set me up for success. I moved just before surgery and so wasn't able to see her for post-op but wish I could have!

Janet Harrison

Ashleigh has been absolutely amazing for my teen dancer. Her in-person sessions and at-home exercises really helped get back on track and heal. Ashleigh also sent two follow up messages post-therapy to check-in and see how recovery was going and make sure my daughter was still doing well. Appointments were easy to schedule and conveniently located. I cannot recommend Ashleigh and Prep enough!

Andrew Marogil

I have been going to Ashleigh for months for dry needling, she has always been fantastic at making time for rush appointments and is incredibly skilled at PT.

Carmelita Tiu

Great experience! Clean, bright, friendly staff. My daughter is a dancer and needed help managing pain/injuries, and PT with Ashleigh did the trick. Twice now for two different issues and both times my daughter recovered quickly and (fingered crossed) has managed to avoid the same issue from recurring. Highly recommend Ashleigh for dance-related PT needs.

Aaron Leshuk-Morita

Ashleigh was incredibly knowledgeable and always took the time to understand my PT goals. She not only helped me recover from ACL surgery and get back to everyday activities, but also gave me the strength and confidence to return to competitive sports and strenuous hikes without second guessing my knee. I highly recommend PREP to anyone looking to fully recover from an injury.

Laura F

I went for a hip injury, Patrick saw me right away and within a week I was better! Very professional, friendly service, great space. Highly recommended!!

Patricia Michaela Casamayor

I took my teenage son for a video running analysis. The session was very helpful and insightful. We left with great resources and great knowledge. It was a wonderful experience. Thank you!

Graeme Hunter

Ashleigh is amazing. I am a dancer who hurt my knee. She understood everything I was saying and helped me physically and mentally with this injury. I definitely recommend as highly as possible and would go back again.
