REVIEWS OF Core Physical Therapy - The Loop IN Illinois

Tess Green

I have been a patient at a large physical therapy clinic in Chicago, and even though I liked my therapist very much, nothing compares to the care and personal attention given to me at Core Physical Therapy in the Loop. My therapist, Jeff Bitter, spends far more time with me than I have been used to and has brought me from hardly walking and with practically no range of motion, to almost jogging and a 45% increase in range of motion in just eight weeks. Everyone at the clinic is super, including the exercise therapists and the fabulous practice manager, Linda. Every single person cares about the patients. The atmosphere is welcoming and not rushed: a nice place to be! I would highly recommend Core PT, Jeff, and Jason, the owner.

Krista Jones

I have been to Core PT for knee and back issues on more than one occasion. Both Jason and Jeff are very thorough, knowledgeable and clearly have a passion for what they do. I highly recommend Core PT for all your physical therapy needs. The new loop office is great and very conveniently located if you are working downtown!

Barbara Cohen

I highly recommend Core Physical Therapy! I had a bad ankle sprain and Nick was the best! Nick and his team are so personable and fun to be around. I actually looked forward to going to PT! I could always get an appointment time that worked for my schedule easily. The office is easy to get to and close to all major lines of transpiration. Any questions I had about my insurance were answered within minutes. They still follow-up with me to see how I am doing and if I need anything.

Scott Dille

I was referred to Jason at Core Physical Therapy and had an excellent experience. I had injured my shoulder, and required a few weeks of PT. Jason is a smart, friendly, and highly effective therapist. Strongly recommend.

Ella Lambrix

Very easy to schedule appointments, update appointments and pay online. Jeff was my therapist for shoulder pain and was very helpful throughout working with him. He provided lots of exercises for at-home and sought feedback after each session in the office - what felt good, what didn't feel good, what I would like to work on to get back to any activities I had otherwise been missing out on. While I was seeing him for my shoulders, I also had a sciatic nerve flare-up and he provided helpful exercises for that too. The rest of the team at Core PT was also great and I would definitely see them again if I have any other issues.

I would highly recommend Core PT, in particular Caitlin, for all of your PT needs. I injured my IT band roughly 4 weeks before I was scheduled to run in the Chicago marathon and Caitlin was able to get me back up to speed quickly and efficiently in order to run the marathon. As an added plus, I was shocked to have zero knee pain after running the race. I would also recommend Core in that you get an individualized plan and attention that I have not seen with other providers - each visit is roughly 30 minutes one on one with a physical therapist followed by another 30 minutes of exercises supervised by a physical therapist assitant that works with no more than two patients at a time. I was extremely impressed by the expertise and care I received from Caitlin and the Core office and I would not hesitate to give them my highest recommendation.

Lee Hettinga

I had a massive rotator cuff tear in my shoulder which required fairly major surgery. When it came time for PT, Core Therapy was recommended to me by one of my colleagues who received services from Core on his knee. Having done PT before, I was not expecting much but I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised on so many levels. First and foremost, my primary therapist, Jason Kart, has an impressive educational and clinical background that I soon found out makes a big difference. He not only coaxed my very damaged shoulder back to a functional, pain-free shoulder again, he educated me along the way so I could continue on with my home exercise program when my insurance no longer supported formal PT sessions. He was patient, caring and innovative in his approach. The supporting therapists working for Core Therapy were also extremely equipped to show me the exercises for the session as well as exercises for my home program. In addition to clinical services I received, I found their business model to be extremely user friendly, convenient and useful. Most of us are busy folks so it's so helpful to have the option of setting up appointments on line, getting your exercises on line (with video) and having the ability to email my therapy with questions. Finally, the scheduling and administrative support staff person there is top notch. She is very capable in her approach to insurance approvals, communicates promptly when needed and is truly pleasant to interact with. I give Core Therapy the best rating possible and would recommend using them to anyone serious about getting back to their life without pain and discomfort.

CM Clark

Jason is about as close to a miracle worker as you can get. He has a passion for the profession as well as a level of talent that I've never seen.

Kerrie Klein

I'd never had PT before this August so wasn't sure what to expect when the doctor recommended it to address the knee pain I was experiencing. But I can't say enough good things about working with Core PT at their loop location. My PT was Jeff Bitter; he was really great. He immediately put me at ease with the treatment program, was very patient and thorough in explaining the regimen and answering any questions I had, and made sure that I understood the proper form for all the exercises that were prescribed. He and all the staff with whom I worked -- including Lizzie, Xavier and Shane -- were friendly, caring, encouraging and highly qualified. I'm happy to say that I've been able to get started running again, without pain, in a relatively short amount of time, something I had really been missing. Everything from the evaluation, to the therapy and staff, to the billing and even the scheduling process was top notch. Thank you much!

Robert Caroti

I worked with both Jason and Jeff while dealing with some lower back pain. Both were great identifying the cause and putting me on the path to recovery. The rest of the staff is friendly, professional and very competent. Five stars.

Bryan Bedacht

Shelly Surdyk

I'm so grateful I found Core Physical Therapy. First of all for the convenient location, secondly, I was able to EASILY schedule my therapy sessions online during my lunch hour. Nick and Jeff treated me for recovery from a sprained ankle and bunion surgery on the same foot and while I was there I mentioned my issues with Piriformis Syndrome, so they had a lot of work to do on me! I've learned so much from them and they were very helpful in explaining the treatment (and causes) for my injuries. Everyone here is very friendly and helpful. Linda at the front desk took care of the insurance issues and Xavier and Lizzy, the Exercise Specialists were wonderful to work with. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Core Physical Therapy. If I ever need PT again, Core is where I will be!!

Angel Matias

I've been going to Chiropractic for over 5 years due to lower back pain. I've learned more about my condition in the past 6 sessions with Dr. Kart then I have since my pain started. I am now learning how to truly strengthen my core to possibly prevent or lessen the recovery time of future episodes. Thanks Dr. Kart!

Luiz Gabeira

I worked with Nick Barin for about 6 months after an Achilles Rupture/Surgery. Nick was very helpful every step of the way, extremely knowledgeable and informative. I highly recommend going to CORE Physical over any other P.T. place, you won't regret it. I also worked with Jason & Caitlin and they were also very helpful! - Whole staff is extremely friendly!

Michael Putin

I highly recommend Core PT Chicago! I worked with Nick for a few months earlier this year on some mobility issues and low back pain and I've been feeling so much better ever since. He was expert at diagnosing why I was having low back issues and gave me a ton of great exercises to work on at home to strengthen weak areas of my body. I also appreciate that my treatment plan was designed so that I would feel comfortable with the number of visits rather than feel forced to go more often than necessary. Great people and great results!

Shaheen C

I've had great results here. Everyone is genuinely understanding, helpful, and great to talk to. Kaitlin is great. I highly recommend Core for anyone in need of PT.

Sobie Bird

This is BY FAR the best physical therapy group with whom I've worked. Been at several over the years. Sports related injuries mainly to right knee. Age and intense weight lifting took it's toll. Jason, the owner, has an approach in place that exceeds the norm. Therapist Jeff Bitter is extremely innovative and hands on. Customizes treatment. Office Manager Linda is organized and more than efficient. I highly recommend this group. I'm still a client there

Jeff Key

I've been working with Jason and the staff for several months and it's been great. I acquired a trimalleolar fracture (badly broken ankle) in early September, followed by surgery and R&R. I started with Core in December and have been on the steady road to discovery since. It's been incredibly unremarkable, which is exactly what I wanted. No surprises, no setbacks. The online scheduling is handy. My schedule is often very tight and I almost always find a time to get in with just a couple days notice. Prior to visiting Core, I only heard bad-to-not-good things about physical therapy. My experience has been the opposite. Highly recommended.

Pink Rose

Jason and his crew are extraordinary. I have gone to Jason for PT 3 or 4 times now, for different things, and we always get a great result. Jason cares about what he does, is highly educated, and is a great adviser. I highly recommend.

Matthew Stephens

Eric Wehrli

I spent several months with Caitlin Kremer rehabbing a quadricep tendon rupture and was extremely satisfied with my experience. Caitlin was knowledgeable, patient, attentive, and a delight to work with. I appreciated the amount of one-on-one time I received at the clinic and the responsiveness to my questions outside of appointment hours. After barely being able to walk, I am back to playing tennis multiple times a week. I absolutely recommend Core Physical Therapy.

Debby Eades

Jason and his exercise therapists (Geoff and Xavier) were fantastic! They helped me work through a rotator cuff injury. The one-on one attention, focus on form and drive to figure out the root cause of the problem greatly differentiate CPT from other therapists I have used.

Peter

Skip going to any national chains (Athletico, ATI) and go to Core Physical Therapy. The ease of scheduling, friendliness of staff, and convenient Chicago locations will now make this place my go-to. A week before leaving for an international trip with outdoor activities, Nick Barin, Caitlin Kremer, and staff quickly and accurately identified the source of pain and developed a plan. I've received exercises that I was able to take abroad to help with a running injury and followed up afterward to continue with exercises and ways to prevent re-injury. It's great to see the staff genuinely love their job, are knowledgeable and passionate about physical therapy, going for the extra mile, and willing to answer any questions. They will give you all the knowledge and training to hopefully prevent seeing you for the same injury. This is something you won't find at any national chains.

Janice Huang

Better thanks to Bitter! I couldn't be happier with my experience here. I had a bad ankle sprain, but with Jeff Bitter's guidance, I returned to teaching fitness classes in less than 2 months. Jeff was very knowledgeable and helped me gauge how much to push myself during recovery. I appreciated the attentiveness of the exercise therapists, and the online scheduling and payment made everything a breeze.

Mark Wilson

I had blown my back out and resting wasn’t getting it any better. Jason’s program was great for me in terms of both keeping me active and finally getting me better. I had no idea that the exercises he recommended effected back and spine health, like strengthening hips and hamstrings as well as core. Very happy to be feeling better finally. Hopefully never have to go again, but if I do, I would go back to Core.

Kai Loewenstein

Had a great experience here - came in with sharp pain in one of my traps, and it started clearing right up with the stretches and exercises that Dr. Caitlyn gave me! Everyone is super friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

Nancy Kononelos

I came to Core Physical Therapy after visiting another PT place and feeling that my needs weren't met there. At that place, I didn't feel comforted (as I expressed worries over my injury) and I wasn't given treatment since I was told I'd be ok in 2 weeks (but I didn't feel ok, I was in pain). After that experience, I looked for a different PT place. I'm lucky to have found Karli Smith. From the moment I met her, I felt I was in good hands. She has a warm, caring, kind, compassionate, patient, and understanding demeanor, which is exactly what I needed to help soothe my anxiety over my injury and get me back to where I was before my injury. I appreciate the thorough exam that Karli performed on me. She patiently performed it and explained to me my injury and what the recovery time would look like (6-8 weeks). As she did, I saw her strong understanding of the body, which helped assure me that I was under good care. Once I started healing, Karli helped me realize I was getting better (when I couldn't believe that I was) and encouraged me to built up my PT exercises (when I thought I couldn't/shouldn't push things in fear of getting re-injured). Under her guidance and support, I was able to see that I was gaining my range of motion and I could get back to my old routine. She found a nice balance between encouraging me to step away from fear but not pushing me to a point of pain. I highly recommend Karli Smith. While I'm grateful to have finished my therapy with her, I will miss her!

Jaclyn McAllister

I am so happy I chose core physical therapy to help me with my hips and shoulders. I work sitting for 8 days and in school 16 hours a week so I don’t get much movement. I went to one chiropractor who wanted to manipulation only. My gut told me to find someone else. I found core physical therapy and on my first visit with Caitlin I knew I made the right choice. Not only do I work with her I also am sent at home exercises and have seen lots of improvement. Highly recommend Caitlin!

Siobhan Carey

I had a great experience working with the Core PT team! I went in for a shoulder injury and had some lingering pain from an ankle sprain. Jason worked with me to treat both injuries. He was extremely attentive and provided 1-1 attention that was specific and targeted for my issues. Even though I worked mostly with Jason, I also got to know the other trainers and they were all extremely friendly and welcoming. I actually looked forward to going to PT! Outside of patient care, the scheduling and billing processes were painless, with online booking and payment. I'd highly recommend Core PT to anyone!

Abbie Kelley

After knee surgery I was required to go to at least 6 weeks of physical therapy. I'd never surgery of any kind or PT. I found this location based of proximity to my office and the great reviews sealed the deal. I completed my required sessions yesterday and couldn't be more pleased with my experience. Everyone I encountered in the office and treatment area were very nice. All the therapists seem great but I worked with Jeff Bitter (thearapist) and Xavier (exercise coach) each time. I was able to easily and conveniently manage my appointments online, though you can call or book in person. Jeff and Xavier were the perfect balance of being supportive and challenging. Always positive, they made me feel good about my progress. Jeff was very knowledgeable, patient and personable. He could answer all of my questions and make great suggestions specific to my needs and personal preferences for treatments, and life after PT. After I would work with Jeff, Xavier would coach me through the exercises. He was awesome, very patient and funny! As I would struggle to gain strenth or complete a new exercise, he would encourage me. I left every session feeling positive and like I made progress each time. I will be recommending the location and therapists to everyone! Do yourself a favor and choose this location!

Kean McDonald

I’ve had a great experience at Core. The therapists are amazing and the facility is excellent. I came in with what turned out to be a pinched nerve in my back. Working with Caitlin for just a few short weeks got me pain free and back to my usual activities. I would recommend to anyone!

Cassie Lively

Core PT is an excellent place - extremely professional, good equipment, great customer service. I had such a good experience working with Caitlin Kremer. She was patient, great at explaining the exercises, and designed a program to help me meet my goals of strengthening my shoulder and reducing my pain.

Ieashia Parnell

Starting from the first call I made til my actual visit everyone was great especially Linda and Jason. Linda was overly nice and interest in getting me to the best therapist to best assist me. And Jason was wonderful. He understand every pain that I was experiencing. As if he was having the pain. And he had an answer for all the pain and he was able to tell where the pain was coming from. I love these guys. THEY ARE THE VERY BEST EVER!!!!

Uddyami Agrawal

Andrew Wilson

Nick and staff were great to work with. Everyone was really supportive, helpful, and informative while I was working through a foot injury. Would highly recommend them!

Renee Conrad

I always find it interesting when companies get only five stars. Seems there is always room for improvement. I will attempt to point out those areas where they can improve. I went to Core Physical Therapy for a month. I saw a different therapist every week. All very good, they used notes to define the best course of care (some of which was pretty painful). The therapist see you for the first half hour and then you are guided through exercises by an assistant. It's a very busy office and it's hard to see the same therapist, I even requested continuity of care, but that does not seem to be the practice at Core. Facilities were okay, building is older and elevator can be an issue. There is one dressing/storage room that you often have to wait to use, wait can be 5+ minutes. Good company and great therapist, but there are the things they can improve.

Rachel Bostic

I came in with a moderate knee injury and I was always well taken care of. I always thought everyone there was helpful and friendly, it never felt like I was just another client to be pushed through. The appointment system was easy to understand and there was always someone to explain things if I ever had questions about my treatment or with my insurance. Thanks for fixing up my knee!

Jordan Groff

Working with both Jeff and Jason is a pleasure. Not only did they quickly identify my problem areas, but in a short 6 weeks I have seen vast improvements in pain, stiffness, functionality, and range of motion for both my hip and shoulder. I tend to ask a lot of questions and am very engaged in finding workouts on my own that may help. Jeff and Jason are always there to consult on how it will fit in with their training regiment and have impressive knowledge on body mechanics. They have literally changed my life and gotten me back to doing the physical activities I love.

Len Celmer

Jason is the best. I have gone to Core for issues on both of my knees a few years apart and on both occasions have finished up feeling 100%.

Sandy Hopwood

I cannot speak more highly of my many experiences at Core Physical Therapy. I have visited Jason for a few problem areas before, and each time I have not only recovered quickly but have also learned a lot about what causes the issue and how to prevent it. The staff here is professional, the care is top-notch, and Jason does a great job of utilizing online apps for paperwork and for exercises. This is my go-to spot for all PT needs.

Jaime Mougan

Jeff not only did an amazing job with my ACL recovery but motivated me throughout the process. Great guy, great professional.

Rick Calderone

Rhonda Speights

Jason and his staff are AMAZING!!!! I have spent 2 years trying to figure out what was wrong with me. I have had pain in every inch of my body, I would work on the problem area, only for the pain to move to another part of my body. I've spent a lot of time and money on treating the symptoms, fascia release therapy, active release therapy, foam rolling and more. The pain just got worst, and it hurt to do everything, walk, sleep, get up from a chair....ect. Even working out which I love, made things worst, and it would take over a week to recover. I went from being an active, vibrant woman to an old lady. I went to Jason 6 weeks ago for an injury screening, we talk thru everything, he did an assessment, and was able to determine what was wrong with me. Jason is so knowledgeable he will run circles around most chiropractors and Physical therapist. 4 weeks of PT twice a week, and I am that vibrant woman I was 2 years ago. Jason treated the problem not the symptoms. Now I can move with no pain, no stiffness, and I have more energy, I'm making my come back, and I'm back in the gym. I highly recommend Jason, and his staff, it will be the best decision you make in regard to having a healthy, and mobile body. Thank you Jason and staff, I am beyond grateful. Rhonda Speights

Core Physical Therapy has been fantastic in directing my recovery from my arm injuries. After reading Yelp reviews, finding it was close to work and easy to schedule appointments, I met with Nick for my intake appointment. What sets Core PT apart from others is the individualized treatment and the variety of approaches they use to treat both the symptoms AND the underlying causes of the pain and discomfort. I worked with Nick and Jason as my physical therapists. Each has their specialties that compliment each other and my personalized recovery. I’ve been to a few different physical therapists clinics before– Core is at the top of the pack. I am thankful to have found their services.

Ben Kream

I had a great experience with Core PT and I'd highly recommend them to anybody looking for physical therapy. I have a chronic shoulder injury that had been nagging at me for over a year. Cortisone shots and PRP injections brought only mild, temporary relief. My general practitioner and an orthopedic surgeon both proposed an operation that involved a year-long recovery and a middling prognosis. Core PT was my last resort before surgery. After 6 weeks of visiting Core PT 1-2x per week, and following the home regimen they recommended, I feel much better. The pain is significantly less, and stability and range-of-motion are much improved. I was very pleased with the skill and professionalism of the staff - they were very proactive in adjusting to my schedule and customizing a recovery plan for me. I was especially impressed when the staff discovered that much of my pain was from over-worked / over-compensating muscles, and not from my initial joint injury. This important detail was overlooked by my doctors, and changed my recovery outlook significantly. The treatment logistics are a breeze - scheduling and managing appointments was a breeze, and the locations are fantastic. Again, highly recommend.

Richard McBride

I highly recommend Core Physical Therapy. I had a significant back injury caused by lifting heavy weight in the gym with bad form. I could barely walk without debilitating pain. At the time, I was training for my first Soldier Field 10 mile run and assumed that was no longer possible. After multiple visits to the doctor and a chiropractor made little to no difference, I was recommended to Core by a colleague. A few weeks working with Nick and Caitlin had my mobility back and I was able to run and finish the race. I went from barely being able to walk to running that race. Amazing results that I could have never achieved without their help. Nick and Caitlin are the best!

Antonette Paraiso

I went to Core PT for a sprained ankle and Jason did a great job. He always explained things to me when I had questions about the treatment. Xavier was fun to work with on the exercises. It's a small office which makes you feel familiar with the people who work there who care to make you feel better.

Albert Roth

Jason did such a great job keeping me calm about my injury and clearly explaining the steps that we were taking on a weekly basis to rehabilitate me. His assistants, Jeff and Xavier, were also great to work with every session and provided great exercises to strengthen my knee. Additionally, the space is great, as is the scheduling and availability. They were always very accommodating in letting me come in during the evening to be the least disruptive to my work schedule. I went in expecting to need surgery, but having gone through about 10 weeks with Jason and his staff I don't think I'll need it. Thanks so much guys!

Imelda Escatel

Jason has been a great Therapist. The whole staff is very friendly and willing to work with you at your own speed. They will follow your progress and always try to get you to the next level. I've been going to them for a while and my progress has been phenomenal. I can do so many physical activities now that I couldn't do in the past. Thank you guys!!

Trevor Heide

Jason and the whole staff are great. I've had a great experience, they are all extremely helpful and knowledgeable.

Judy D

Caitlin was the best PT! I came in with horrible shoulder pain. She was very knowledgeable and patient with me. She listened to my story and figured out plan to work with me. She figured out the problem and worked to correct it. Caitlin created a program for me that was very effective and got me feeling better within couple of days. I am very happy and will definitely recommend her to anyone! Thanks for helping me out Caitlin and being good listener as well! I will definitely miss you and your team!

R B

The level of care and personal attention is what sets this place apart. I was frustrated with the care at the chain places (ATI, Athletico). The PT's were working on multiple patients at once. It was like a PT sweat shop. Jason and his team (both medical and admin staff) are amazing. When I first started coming here, I had just accepted knee and lower back pain as a part of life. My entire lower body was kind of broken, and the Core staff fixed me. And the billing is easy, convenient, and always accurate. I can't say enough good things about this place.

Mary Louise Kandyba

CORE taught me balance and control following my back surgery. Love this place!

Allyson Schwartz

Hands down one of the best Physical therapy experiences I have had. This is my THIRD shoulder surgery, so I have been to my fair share of PT places too. Jason and the staff at Core Physical therapy take the time to work with each patient and understand the needs and goals of the patients. He even took the time to call my surgeon, review the surgical notes with him, and discuss my unique situation. He spends at least 30 minutes with me with complete un-divided attention, and then I even get 30 minutes of un-divided attention with their exercise specialist. I never feel like I'm in a "factory" where they are trying to get me in and out on a cookie-cutter approach. That would not work for my situation regardless. I was nervous to pick a PT place in Chicago, because I am not originally from here. After reading Yelp reviews I stumbled upon Core Physical Therapy. So happy I did. Even the front desk staff is so helpful if you have booking questions, insurance questions etc. I wrote this post for the next person who is struggling to find a good PT place in Chicago. Take my word and trust me when I say you are in good hands.

Zach Bates

Went from feeling hopeless to healthy and FAST! The team here are excellent, I've been to several physical therapy facilities and my entire experience was top notch and I would definitely be going back here if, God forbid, I ever need it. Big shout out to Caitlin Kremer, she did a fantastic job and sincerely cared about my recovery.

Lee Feder

I've had bad shoulder problems for over a decade after an accident and in a few weeks, Core helped me start on the long road to recovery. As I progressed, my range of motion increased and pain decreased...really impressive as I had done PT two other times with no such luck.

Matthew Maggiore

Cindy Johnson

I've had a couple of physical therapy experiences and Core is the best. Instead of just exercising you there and sending you home with a list of exercises, they discuss the how and why of your injury and the steps to recovery. Knowing that kept me from doing things that could hurt me and encouraged me to stretch my physical boundaries in a safe way to speed recovery. They Rock!!!!

Kristen Larson

I can't recommend this entire practice enough. I was in pain, but the care I received from everyone in this group was fun and effective! Beginning with the initial evaluation, Jason took the time to explain to me what my habits were doing to create my persistent pain. He used visuals, diagrams, skeletons, etc...it was fascinating. From there, I began care with Kaitlin and Nick, both of whom I looked forward to seeing every time. At one point, Kaitlin asked if I was open to the idea of dry needling (I was) and I'm convinced that was the turning point of my recovery! She knew exactly where to poke to get my muscles to loosen up, and the exercises that followed those appointments seemed to help everything move along. I appreciated that they took care of all insurance calls for me as well, so I never had to deal with that part of the care. From the front office to all therapists I worked with, the entire experience has me strangely pumped to go back and see them if I ever need to!

Michael Sherer

Christine Monroe

The staff is very polite, answers any and all questions you may have whether it is billing, treatment, etc. Works with you at your own speed. The hours and location are great.

Sid Bale

There is no better clinic in the City of Chicago. They truly care about your rehab, follow up on off hours and try to keep you honest with your exercises outside of the clinic.

Dave Mishoe

I am long overdue in writing this review for Core PT and especially the great care I received from Caitlin Kremer. For months I had been trying to self treat chronic back pain that would flair up from too much air travel and too much time at a desk. Caitlin took time to not only diagnose the source of the pain but also devise a detailed plan to strengthen my core. Key for me was a treatment plan that I could take on the road with me instead of solely relying on treatment at Core. I came to trust Caitlin and the staff as I immediately started to see results. After only a month or two I was able to prevent recurring flare ups as well as begin to tighten my core to prevent future injury. Thank you Caitlin and team!

Scott B

I've been to multiple clinics for physical therapy over the years for various injuries, and the level of care I received from Core dwarfed that of other clinics. I worked with Nick Barin after having hip surgery this spring. Nick went above and beyond in tailoring exercises to treat the pain I was feeling after the operation, regularly checking up with me between appointments to see how my hip was feeling, and overall demonstrating a level a care I hadn't gotten previously in physical therapy - and it led to great results after my surgery. Whatever ails you, Core can help.

Becky Ahern

I saw Jason a couple years ago for lower back and sciatic nerve pain on my left side, and he completely cured me. I haven't experienced any pain since. 2 years later and I started having problems on my right side with my lower back and intense nerve pain. I could barely walk or stand for long periods of time. Again, I'm leaving Core PT pain-free. He obviously cares about helping people, problem solving and loves what he does. His staff are all friendly and attentive, and I always felt like I was in capable hands. They recently moved and the new location is great!!

Tom Miller

Less than 2 months after starting at Core, I can say that I am now pain free and back to functioning as normal, if not better. I came in with horrible neck and back pain, with difficulty getting out of bed, and I am now back in the gym and lifting pain free. Nick and his team were attentive and helpful, and I felt like my issues were heard and solutions personally crafted. I can't reccomend core more highly. Thanks guys!

Diwant Vaidya

I went to Core PT when my physician suggested I physical therapy for some lower back issues I was facing. Nick at Core PT first patiently understood the issues I was having and asked me about my lifestyle. Then, he quickly arrived at some accurate inferences regarding muscular imbalances I have and how that led to lower back muscle fatigue. What he was saying lined up with my experience of my lower back pain and how it triggered. After helping me understand what might be causing my back pain, he helped me through the course of several weeks to relieve the pain via massages and stretches and at each point kept me apprised of what I might expect and how my progress was. Again, what he said lined up with my experience of my recovery even outside of our PT sessions. All-in-all, I very much appreciate the hard work that Nick and everyone at Core PT did for me. They are smart, patient people, and they helped me with genuine care for me and getting me back to good. My back is much better now and I've been given some exercises to keep it in shape. Thank you Nick! Thank you Core PT!

Dustin Artates

I worked with Nick Barin for 2 different shoulder injuries (one was CrossFit related). I came out the other side feeling good and able to work out. He's super knowledgeable and works with a lot of CrossFit patients. Nick is very attentive to his patients needs and their progress.

Dar Hen

I had a GREAT experience at Core PT...Dr. Kaitlin Stewart was my PT. She was AWESOME. The one-on-one FOCUSED attention that patients receive is unbeatable. You don't feel like an 'assembly line' patient. The vision/mission described by the owner Jason Kart on the website, is the reason that I selected Core PR. It truly was meaningful and hearfelt. I was not disappointed. At Core PT they truly, truly care about their patients. And there is truly MEANINGFUL intervention between the patient and therapist!

Excellent experience. Jason and his team are highly skilled, educated, solution oriented, and friendly and fun to work with. They have a deep knowledge of the human body, how it should perform, and how to fix it.

I was dealing with back pain for most of my 20's. As I got into my 30's, I started to resign myself to the fact that I just had a bad back, and that was going to be something I'd have to deal with for the rest of my life. My chiropractor recommended Core PT to make sure I was exploring all options for possible treatment. I met with Jason on my first visit. After some Q&A and about 5 minutes of physical evaluation, Jason said, "You don't have a bad back. I understand what this is, and we're going to fix it." He then took the time to explain the mechanical problem that was driving my back pain, and we started working on it that day. I saw Jason a 1-2 times per week for a couple months, and made great progress. After taking a break for a few months, I aggravated my back playing golf and went back to Core PT. This time I ended up with Jeff, and over the course of a few weeks, had the same great experience. I'm writing this review now, about a year removed from my last treatment with Jeff. I've continued to work hard on my own, and am now doing much, much better. I can say with absolute confidence, that I would've never figured out how to deal with my back problems myself, without everything I learned from Jason and Jeff about the source of my problems, how to address, etc. I think this speaks volumes about Jason and Jeff's approach to treatment. They worked with me to figure out the problem, helped me understand how to fix it, pushed me really hard during treatment to get me back on the right track, and left me with the tools to continue making progress on my own. They were all about getting me better; not making me into a perpetual patient so I'd just keep coming back for treatment. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Jason helped me recover amazingly from my herniated disc pain. He is very knowledgeable. When I went in first, I could not stand straight because of my pain. Any posture (sit, sleep, squat, stand) would radiate pain. I have 2 little very active kids and I cannot afford to stay injured for a long time. Jason got to the root of the problem and cured it. That is what I like best about working with Jason. I have had physical therapy before for the same issue, but that therapist just treated the issue and not the root cause. The exercises Jason tailored for me were terrific and helped me a lot in strengthening my core. Yara, the trainer is also very knowledgeable. She made sure I maintained correct postures for each of those exercises. I would see Jason for 30 minutes and exercise with Yara for next 30 minutes. And in those time slots it was just me they would work with. That kind of attention helped me feel much better just after 2 sessions. Now, I feel like my old self, absolutely no pain. I highly recommend this place and I have personally recommended people to see the therapists here

Jeff and the team got my shoulder back to 90% in a short period of time without surgery. Now I can sleep through the night without waking up from pain. I am swimming again which was my main goal.

My experience with Jason Kart at Core Physical Therapy was excellent. He explained the approach he would take to help me reach my goal (pivot sports after a knee injury), stuck with it, and let me loose when I was strong enough to venture out on my own. It was exactly what I had hoped for.

John Rose

Highly recommended. Nick and the rest of the staff were fantastic - attentive, informative, and showed genuine care in getting me back to full health.

Elizabeth Morgan

I had never been to physical therapy until this summer when I suffered a shoulder injury. Nick was my physical therapist and he was an absolute gem. I felt like we were a team. I felt very listened to. I had been in so much pain and I was feeling very frustrated and kind of helpless since pain meds and muscle relaxers hadn't been very helpful. After my initial visit, I began to feel so much better so quickly. Nick is a genuinely kind and skilled therapist. He also made sure I understood what was happening in my shoulder and how I could prevent it in the future. Very approachable and very professional. And best of all, I feel better than I did even before the injury.

The best physical therapy in town. Highly knowledgable therapists who care about patients. I have a back pain issues with two herniated disc surgeries; Jason worked with me and managed the pain significantly. I have worked with many others, but never had similar positive experience.

I am a patient of Steve Goostree, PT, DPT, OCS, FAAOMPT at Core PT and have had a great experience since June 2017! Steve has been helping to treat my chronic migraines. I can say that in the last month I have noticed a decrease in migraines. Steve is very dedicated and passionate about his profession. I recommend Steve and Core Physical Therapy.

Marisa McHugh

The physical therapists are highly skilled professionals, that are active listeners with each patient. They are also very caring, as well as their staff. I warmly recommend Core Physical Therapy.

Chelsea S

I absolutely loved everything about Core Physical Therapy. Everyone who works there is amazing, but Nick especially. I followed him from Athletico to Core PT because I really trusted him to help me recover from my double knee surgery and felt confident that my health was in the best hands possible. Out of the many PT clinics that I have been to over the years, this one was by far, superior to the rest.
