There is no rushing, expert teaching and supervision to get one back to their best physical shape. They offer supervised continuing rehab for a nominal charge once your prescribed therapy is completed. There is great communication between their office and your referring physician. The facility is very clean inside and out. The best part is their sheer joy at seeing each of their patients progress. The staff there is also very involved in community outreach and support. Thank you all for all you do!

The first time I went to FSPT was in 2019 when I had a frozen right shoulder and a Grade 2 Rotator…read moretear; I went to the South Charleston location. Jessie was assigned to work with me; he was great and helped my recovery without surgery. I could not have asked for better care and treatment. In December 2022, I had a frozen left shoulder, but the scar tissue was so bad I had to undergo shoulder manipulation to break up the scar tissue. I had the procedure on December 27, 2022 and started physical therapy that afternoon at the Saint Albans location. I live in Saint Albans, so I opted to go there since I work from home. Allie worked with me for most of my visits; Tyler performed dry needling to assist with the knots in my muscles. The employees who work there seem to really care about their patients, but I cannot say the same for the owners. The employees are always working with more than one patient at the same time, sometimes it is three or four patients at the same time. I feel this is a disservice to those who need extra care or one on one attention, particularly older patients. Most days I would forgo the tens unit and heating pad because I knew Allie was working with other patients. The owners seem to care more about money than the patients who come there for treatment. I don't know if it is legal, but they are billing for multiple patients at a time. I don't think they can give each patient quality care when they are working with multiple patients at a time. I sought out massage therapy outside FSPT because some of my range of motion was not getting better because my muscles were so tight. Massage therapy made a significant difference, but I should not have to go elsewhere for massage therapy. I should have been able to have massage therapy during my physical therapy. If the owners would hire adequate staff to work with the number of patients they have scheduled and not double, triple, or quadruple book, then patients would get the care they deserve. I will not return to FPST if I require physical therapy again. They have a great staff, but they are overworked. I have been going to physical therapy three times a week since December 2022. I also think it is unprofessional for the regional manager to come out of his office and converse with the staff, not work related, while they are working with patients; the staff should be focused on their patients. The Saint Albans location could be great if the owners cared more and hired enough staff to work with the number of patients they have scheduled, instead of their employees working with three or more people at a time.

I've been to FSPT in Teays Valley, WV, on two different occasions now. Each time was a great…read moreexperience for me. The first time was for a pinched nerve in my neck. They told me what exercises to do and they stayed right there with me. They didn't go to another patient while I was exercising. When I was done with exercises, there was massage of the area, ice and EMS. My problem was solved in a few weeks. It was such a good experience and the staff was so nice, I decided to go there again when I had my knee replaced. My knee replacement was extremely hard. The pain was absolutely excruciating. They helped me get through the pain and get my knee in working order in six weeks! Again, they were right there with me guiding and encouraging me through the exercises. Poor Tanner, I actually cried on him while trying to step up on a set of stairs. He immediately had me stop. He gave me some water, calmed me down, and let me rest while talking to me about the pain. He told me we would do the steps another day and we went on with the other exercises. This, right here, is why I will always go to FSPT. The staff is absolutely wonderful. Tanner and Jordan (the director) are both terrific people. If I ever need PT again, I'll be going to FSPT in Teays Valley. I tell all my friends how great they are :)

I will be returning after back surgery in the fall. The dry needling was a Godsend & I highly recommend it anyone if Frank recommends it. If you are allowed to choose where you get PT, this is where you need to go. They are the best in the business!
