Handling Physical Therapy

Handling Physical Therapy is fantastic. Tom, Sarah and Caitlyn are focused on healing their patients. They care about each person and ensure the rehab is individualized to fit each person. I can say with their help, my healing process was so much easier. I would recommend them to anyone need physical therapy. They are the best!!!

I am a former athlete who had left over back pain. MRI revealed herniated discs and I thought I would never feel better or get any relief doing anything short of injections and/or surgery. At Handling PT, Tom and Caitlyn worked with me three days a week for several months. And it’s been a few months since visiting them. Im proud to say that I’ve been pain free with full mobility since the end of my program with them. Can’t say enough good things. And im grateful for the good work they put in to dramatically improve my quality of life.

Tom and Caitly are literally awesome this is a smaller PT and I wouldn’t have it any other way they show care and support no matter what you have going on! They have been amazing since day one and I would never go to or refer any other PT! GO HERE!

I had about 50% range-of motion in my left shoulder & was diagnosed with adhesive capsulitis by First State Orthopaedics, who recommended physical therapy as treatment. Handling Physical Therapy was very close to my home, so I decided to go there for my therapy. It was the best decision I could have made in that situation. Tom and his staff are very knowledgeable and paid close attention to my special needs during recovery. They are very flexible with scheduling to meet the patient's personal needs. They taught me the proper way to perform stretching and strength building exercises which I did both during office visits and at home on my 'off' days. After 6 weeks of PT, I can honestly say that my left shoulder now feels better than my uninjured right shoulder. I will continue to do the exercises at home, and should the need ever occur, I will certainly return to Handling Physical Therapy for treatment. I highly recommend Handling Physical Therapy!

Tom was very personable and understanding of my issues. He made each appointment enjoyable, and tailored the exercises nicely to my specific issues. Additionally, he was very receptive to any questions I had and equipped me with valuable knowledge that I have continued to implement outside of sessions. Most importantly, my health improved as a result of attending PT and I am confident I can appropriately address any flare ups if they arise in the future.

I have been using Handling PT for over a year now for multiple issues. Every single time, both Tom and Caitlyn have been amazing! Tom is extremely knowledgeable in all areas and helps you to understand things easily. They are the most friendly and personable physical therapy business I have ever been associated with. They make you feel welcome from the start and never once make you think you aren’t part of their “family”. I will forever choose and recommend Handling over big chain locations!!

I had a total knee replacement early April and going to Handling Therapy was the BEST decision I made for my recovery. Tom and his team of professionals were extraordinary! I wobbled through their doors in pain and weeks later left walking better than I have in years and with a smile! Tom - THANK YOU! I appreciate you!

I have just completed 9 weeks of physical therapy with Tom and Caitlyn. I was referred to Tom Handling by my orthopedic surgeon, after shoulder surgery for fractures and dislocation with my right arm. The care and treatment that I received from Tom and Caitlyn was excellent. Tom is extremely knowledgeable, attentive, and explains the purpose and goals of all exercises. The atmosphere is positive, supportive, friendly, and clean. Tom and Caitlyn communicate effectively with each other and they never missed a beat with my individual care. They were very flexible with accommodating my schedule. You feel like a part of their family when you enter the front door. I will actually miss starting my days with them. I am now pain free and have a much improved range of motion with my arm and shoulder. My experience with Handling Physical Therapy far exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend them and would happily return if I need their services in the future.

After having knee surgery in July (my second surgery for the same issue) I was looking for a place to start PT and get on the road to recovery. Choosing Handling Physical Therapy was a great decision. Tom is awesome and very knowledgeable! His other physical therapist Caitlin is great as well! Even Debbie at the front desk staff was great. She was always nice and greeted you with a smile every day. After a few months of PT my knee feels the best it has in over a decade. Thank you Tom and the great staff at Handling Physical Therapy!

I went in for knee pain and occasional buckling. Tom is very transparent with treatment plans, truly cares about the well-being of the patient. Tom’s hands on approach and cutting-edge philosophy, gets you back to a pain free life. I highly recommend Handling Physical Therapy and I've been to see Tom on multiple occasions for different injuries.
You'll be on the road to better health and mobility quickly and you’ll enjoy going there!

I was new to Handling PT. If I ever need therapy again, I will return here, no doubt. Tom and Caitlyn provide all of their patients with personalized therapy. They helped me heal and strengthen a painful rotator cuff injury. Tom is very knowledgeable and took time to listen to me and understand what my goals were and set up a plan to help me meet them. The environment is cozy, comfortable and very friendly. I kind of miss going!

I had an ankle injury and I was in a lot of pain so my Doctor referred me to go to Handling PT. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the friendly staff. I went there in a lot of pain and swelling but after a couple of weeks I began to feel better. So after I was finished with the therapy regimen I felt much better. I definitely would recommend Handling PT because Dr. Handling and his PTA Caitlin are very professional and helpful. Another thing is really liked about this place is they are understanding and very flexible with appointments. They come highly recommended… Thanks 😊

This is my second time needing physical therapy! It was a no brainer for me Tom & Kaitlyn are the best by far, they make you feel like family and not like a patient/client. They are knowledgeable, professional and empathic. For me my first visit was after surgery for my foot, this episode was my back, in both cases I completed my therapy feeling a 100% with the ability to go back to my regular routines. I have recommended Handling Therapy to my friends, and two have used them. Oh and my Mother also using Handling. Their programs are custom to your needs and you get that one on one (not that cattle call like other therapy places). Hands down Handling Physical Therapy is the BEST !

Tom & Caitlyn are both very friendly and make you feel very comfortable. I worked with them for 12 weeks with a herniated disc and my pain is gone. Treatment was thorough, they were flexible with my schedule and made sure I was always in and out on time. I can’t say enough great things about this place, will definitely refer my friends and family!

Handling Physical Therapy is a great place to go for help recovering from injuries. The environment is clean, friendly and the staff knowledgeable. I trust Tom's diagnostic skills and he will not hesitant to refer you to a specialist if he feels the injury warrants another opinion or requires diagnostic tests. When I first limped in, I was in immense pain and very frustrated by my limited mobility. With the therapy plan put in place, I have increased my mobility and the pain is just about gone. I truly appreciate Handling Physical Therapy and recommend their services.

I’ve been in PT since June of 2022 for left drop foot s/p surgery. I feel like I’ve made very good progress with the help of Tom and Caitlyn at Handling PT. Tom and Caitlyn are very attentive to each patient. Tom is a very astute PT. I highly recommend Handling PT!

Tom is the man point blank to the point. He truly cares. He is the best therapist in town. I don’t like to go to commercial therapy offices because it doesn’t have a home feel. Tom office has everything you need and looking for. I’m telling you come here be you won’t be sorry. Plus I like helping out “mom and pop shops.”

If you're looking for a physical therapist, look no further. Don't waste time with any big-name chain practices and come here!

I was referred to Handling Physical Therapy by my orthopedist after experiencing a neck injury. When I walked into the practice I was in a neck brace, could barely move without causing pain, and completely unable to take part in any day-to-day tasks or hobbies. Tom evaluated me and set me up with appointments and a treatment plan that fit my schedule.

After my first visit it was clear I was in good hands with this practice. Tom's office is NOT like other assembly-line-type physical therapy franchises. Tom and Caitlyn are personally involved in your treatment and they actually get to know their patients and create a very friendly family-oriented atmosphere. I never felt rushed and I always felt like my concerns and questions about my treatment were addressed. Even Lisa, their receptionist, was warm and friendly every time I visited!

I can't say enough about Tom and Caitlyn and how grateful I am for their treatment. I am back to work and my active lifestyle thanks to their care!

Great results and awesome customer service!
I had been struggling with (what I assumed was just age related, un-treatable) shoulder pain for about 2 years before giving physical therapy a try. At my first visit, Tom did a thorough initial evaluation, really listened to my concerns and objectives and we set up times that worked with my hectic schedule. After a few weeks, my pain was significantly reduced and I had noticeably improved posture and strength. In addition to the great physical outcome, the Handling staff are all warm and engaging and create a wonderful environment to enjoy while helping you heal.

I highly recommend this place for your rehabilitation. I went for my knee (Torn ACL). I previously torn my ACL in high school and I want to another establishment for that rehab and I will say I had a much better experience at Handling Physical Therapy. The family like environment that Tom and Kaitlyn provide make the session relaxing and made me want to come back the next day for my rehab. They are both very knowledgeable and gave me multiple stretches or task that I could accomplish at home that could help aid in my rehabilitation. They are very accommodating with working around your schedule. I had to take a two month hiatus for work, however I stayed in touch with Tom via email. He recommended various workouts I could do so that when I was able resume my sessions, I would still be on a reasonable timeline for my rehabilitation.
