Hear from Our Satisfied Clients
I have dealt with chronic low back pain for the last several years and have barely been able to do certain exercises without pain. Even putting my shoes on is a struggle sometimes. I have done two sessions with Blake so far and with his prescribed exercises and him teaching me how to move properly, I have been almost pain free during movements that normally bother me. I was so discouraged for so long, I thought I was never going to be able to fix my issues and now I know there is hope! I’m so excited to continue to work with Blake and get my body back on track. If you’re dealing with any type of back pain or movement issues…. Blake is your guy!
Jake Pikowski
Blake did a thorough analysis of my shoulder mobility, stability, and pain, then provided a detailed plan of action to improve. He showed me all of the movements, had me perform them during the session, and followed up with an email (including video-clip reminders of the movements) explaining what exercises to do and when. I particularly liked that he set a limit on the pain threshold I should stay within, not just while exercising but also the day after. Highly recommend!

Dr Blake is a breath of fresh air! I’ve probably seen over 10 PTs over the years through various previous football injuries and surgeries. Blake was the most personable, hands on, and actually listened to me more than any other. As a former athlete and very active parent on the go I appreciated his candor and never telling me to “just rest”….never gonna happen. His progressive treatment and programming got me pain free and back to working out back to a high level in no time. I recommend him to all me friends and family members!
Chip Gibson
After over a year of shoulder pain, myofacial release therapy AND 3 different physical therapists…Blake has me moving pain free and getting stronger. He’s also helped me with some nutrition and fitness goals along the way. He listens and responds to what I tell him is going on. He’s also available to answer questions and offer support between appointments. I could not be more pleased! This is the beginning of a long partnership in my health! Thank you, Blake!!

Blake was my last shot at physical therapy before I was headed to have imaging on my hip. I had spent the last year seeing multiple professionals only to have, very, temporary relief. Within two weeks of being treated by Blake, I was experiencing profound relief. I was, finally, able to push myself in workouts, where before I had been scared and guarded. Blake is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and intentional in his treatment. His programming for accessory work outside of sessions is remarkable, and I can tell I am gaining strength in ways that translate to continued wellbeing.
Jamie Marshall
I have seen Blake for the last 3 years whenever I have an injury and have always been impressed. He has helped me with Achilles tendinitis, piriformus issues, and hip issues as well! He always explains everything really well and why with future plans including backup plans! On top of that he is an extremely genuine and motivational guy. Always highly recommend him for any and all physical therapy!
