They are knowledgeable. and clearly explain to the patient the intent of each exercise and how to do it properly. And they're among the most affordable in the greater Gainesville area.

It was okay. The physical therapists were nice, & did. Great job with me. & I thank them for that…read more But I'll never forget the introduction "interview". It was a bad experience that left a bad taste in my mouth. (& I'm not talking about the ginger. I like ginger.) While I was waiting for the manager, or whoever is in charge, I pulled a ginger chew out of my purse & ate it. When the brunette walked in she said under her breath, "that's a great way to start an interview." First of all, am I applying for a job here, or am i paying you for the physical therapy?? I'm paying "you", not the other way around. & my tummy hurt. That rude first impression made me not want to be there. & I ended up calling & making up some excuse to not have to finish out the last week or two. & to top it off, when I offered her a ginger chew, she made a look like she was disgusted, & said, "I HATE ginger." Rude. A kind "no thank you" would have been more appropriate. But I'll still give them 4 stars bc the physical therapy was consistent & the PTs were kind. I just couldn't stand the manager, or whoever "interviewed" me, & thank God I don't have to work for her, bc she's not so nice.

Amanda is a spinal injury specialist and is on top of her game. She does not miss a beat. Katie and Prtha are also tops. They are all continually researching the best therapy and new cutting edge therapies. I've worked in Health care for almost 18 years and I've never seen the level of professionalism and attention to detail like I've seen here. I can't say enough great things. Recommend highly.

My HSG showed total blockage on both tubes. I was told IVF was my only chance at having a baby. I came here in May of 2021 and just tried to be open and receptive to the experience. I didn't really expect them to be able to clear my scar tissue, but I was hopeful. I felt very cared for by my therapists and enjoyed going to the clinic. Keep in mind this is not a relaxing Swedish massage though, there will be a little pain and discomfort as they work on your adhesions. I left Gainesville on May 6th and on June 20th I found out I was pregnant I am currently 25 weeks along and baby is doing great. I am extraordinarily grateful for this clinic and my therapists for restoring my fertility.

My husband had his first small bowel obstruction in June of 2022 and it was a harrowing experience…read morefor him, necessitating surgery to unblock it. When we left the hospital I searched online to find ANY options for prevention of this again in the future, and I was thrilled to find the Clear Passage online site which we both devoured in the days following his surgery. We decided to invest in our mental and physical well-being by taking money out of savings to go through the week-long physical therapy for him. Since it is a huge financial investment, we researched and chose one of Clear Passage's most experienced and committed physical therapists to work with, Sharon Hepburn, in St. Louis. We were NOT disappointed. We also learned that she is their Chief Operating Officer, and wow, were we grateful to have chosen her to work with. We had to wait to schedule the treatment for 3 months post-op and I just had my fingers crossed that we would make it to St. Louis before any recurrence of an obstruction. We did. We flew to St. Louis from California on a Sunday, settled into the comfortable hotel that they recommended, and then began therapy the next day. Sharon's office is located in a very nice suburb a short drive from the airport. There are gorgeous and spacious parks seemingly everywhere in this area and beautiful spacious estates. It was a lovely place to settle into for the week and we were fortunate to hit a week of gorgeous weather the last week of September. Between our daily sessions we had lovely picnics and walks in their parks. Sharon works with an excellent massage therapist, Maura Lee, and between the two of them we witnessed incredible shifts! I am a retired family therapist/psychotherapist and registered nurse, and I was enthralled and impressed to attend and witness each session. Sharon and Maura's deep knowledge and understanding of physiology, ability to tune into the body, adept capacity to work with emotions that arose in the treatment, and wisdom about what to do next was absolutely amazing and intriguing. The Clear Passage protocols are sequential and specific. We were both VERY impressed with the process and the results! My husband's belly is now soft and pliable. It was tight and lumpy when we arrived. A pain that he had in his lower back for many years is now resolved. He has specific self-exercises that he does daily and we both now know how to manage any recurrent obstructions should any recur, which I now strongly doubt will happen. We feel empowered and safe to travel should we choose to. We extend our very deep thanks and gratitude to Clear Passage for developing this protocol to bring health and freedom to us again, and we particularly thank the expertise and compassion of Sharon Hepburn and Maura Lee at the St. Louis Clear Passage office in St. Louis!

They are more informal than most PT practices but they seem to be competent. I am gradually seeing increased stamina and I know I feel better when I come away from a session at FYZICAL. HOWEVER, as is standard with Medicare, the PTA can only work with you when there is a licensed physical therapist in the building. This office only has a licensed PT on site Tuesdays and Thursdays, which limits availability of appointments. AND if, as happened today, the licensed PT unexpectedly decides to work elsewhere that day, it is possible one can arrive for an 8 am appointment only to learn that, without him on site, no therapy can happen that morning. I realize this may be a one-off experience, and that it was an oversight - but this kind of thing should never happen with a professional medical service provider. Over time, these two factors combine to my lowering my review to three stars.

Having qualified for the 2020 Boston marathon, I had doubts I'd be able to train for it.  I left my first appointment feeling encouraged and empowered. Justin was able to diagnose my injury quickly, come up with a treatment plan and estimated I would be back to running in just a few weeks! To be honest I had my doubts when he said, "a few weeks". But trust him. He knows what he is doing! During our first few sessions, Justin did manual therapy on my ankle and was able to increase my dorsiflexion angle from 11 to 20. He also massaged the problem tendon area which gave me pain relief right away. Justin provided me with stretches/strengthening to do at home and a return to running plan. I followed everything as instructed, and just as he promised, in just a few weeks I have returned to running....Pain-free!  I can't recommend Justin enough. I'd also like to add that Justin has a running & soccer background and understands exercise-induced injuries very well. Thank you so much, Justin!

Chill is a 10 minute hydro massage offered in the lobby of Gainesville Health and Fitness Center…read more It is a paid service, but you get 15 sessions for $30 a month which is well worth it in my book! Initially there is a process to get signed up (which I was personally incredibly frustrated by), but once you have an account you just walk in, chose a chair, and enter your account number to begin your session. The session is 10 minutes and goes up and down your entire body by default, however you can customize it to target certain areas. It is very user friendly. While enjoying the massage you can play games or look at a soothing photo, although most people either close their eyes or play on their phone. The room contains 9 chairs with curtains separating them. It is nice to have privacy, however it is near impossible to talk to a gym partner during the massage with the curtain and the sound of the massage. The room is quite beautiful and even has a sitting area for afterwards with surprisingly soft chairs. The massage itself is an amazing post workout treat. I leave so refreshed! I highly recommend Chill as an add on to your gym experience. It's low price point makes it an accessible and convenient massage option, and the overall experience can't be beat!
