Add Your Story…

Physical therapy is my current season
My aging body is the primary reason
A warm welcome starts each session
I’m hopeful that soon the pain will lessen

My treatments and exercises are part of their plan
To gently move me from “I can’t to I can”
Everyone has their individual wellness story
Being motivated is important and mandatory

Whether I’m stretching or doing a shoulder dangle
It’s gonna increase my range of motion angle
Many thanks to Amy, Alex and both Kim’s
You all are angels for bodies and limbs

First Choice PT is the best ever team
Their proven results are better than a dream
Amy’s very skilled and extremely smart
I’ll only get better results if I do my part

Unexpected injuries and accidents are part of life
I’ve even been a patient alongside my sweet wife
It’s inspiring to see people limp in and walk out
For me personally I just want to shout

– Bill B.

"I've had 4 sessions with Alex Kranz at 1st Choice so far. He is very courteous and knowledgeable. Alex explains the exercises and what part of my shoulder/arm it helps. He makes sure I do the exercises correctly to get the maximum benefit. I am seeing improvement and feel less pain in my arm. I highly recommend Alex and 1st Choice Physical Therapy."

"Dr. Amy Zornow, DPT & owner of 1st Choice Physical Therapy, is a superb therapist. She and her staff are professional, encouraging, and effective at creating a plan to best suit your needs to ensure your path to a successful recovery. Amy's approach is personal and customized, always with your best interest at heart. She provides focused 1:1 attention while providing feedback on how you're doing. She really excels at explaining the various techniques she's implementing and truly cares about you as a person, not just as a patient. I also had a couple sessions with Dr. Alex for a different issue: vertigo symptoms. He did a very thorough assessment up front to determine the root cause and, through well-established balance techniques, provided me with immediate relief. In addition, Front Desk Coordinator Kim is so friendly, welcoming, helpful, and efficient at scheduling and managing any insurance questions. Overall, a great experience, a very comfortable environment, and an extremely supportive team. I'd highly recommend them!"

From my first appointment, I knew I was in good hands with an experienced & caring therapist that knew what she was doing. I made tremendous progress by my 4 week evaluation and was released from PT 4 weeks later. Previously I had gone to another larger PT clinic in the area for 7 weeks of treatment. It was a complete waste of my time & money. I made little to no progress. Every time I went, I saw a different therapist and was given different exercises to do at home! I am so glad that I found Linda at First Fysical Therapy! I am now pain free and almost completely recovered!"

"I had a lot of issues due to a concussion. I worked with Dr. Amy, Jodi and Linda. They worked together to help all of my needs. They were very patient and encouraged me in the exercises they gave me. I felt that they were walking this healing journey with me. I kept hearing, "Time is your friend." Which is so true! Not only were the therapists excellent, the administrative staff was, too. I worked with both Kims and Cami. By God's grace, I officially "graduated" out (LOL) after 6 mos. That may seem long, but I had a lot to heal. Dr. Amy recommended that I receive massages (medical massages) to help further the healing. She recommended I go to Advanced Medical Massage and the therapist there is excellent as well. I HIGHLY recommend this practice."

Camie always greets me with a warm hello and helps set up my next appointments! Linda is my physical therapist! She's the best. Her energetic personality makes her super fun to work with. She explains in depth what each stretch/workout will do to help heal my back. My favorite part is at the end when Linda puts a heating pad or ice pack on my lower back and turns on the tens unit to help stimulate my back! It feels like heaven. Like I'm melting into the massage table! She also massages the area I had surgery on! Would highly recommend coming to this physica therapy!"

"Upon a dear friend’s glowing recommendation, I made an awesome 1st choice by partnering with Amy and her team for my physical therapy/recovery. Amy’s great insights, excellent communication and passion for healing and wellness, resulted in my recovery/regained mobility over the past 4 months. Along this recovery journey there were peaks and valleys. Amy’s unwavering commitment really helped me and inspired me to push through the post surgical barriers. She convinced me that physical therapy and recovery requires me to do my daily exercises at home. I strongly recommend Amy and her team for the best ever Physical Therapy care."

So whoever treats you at 1st Choice you are in good hands. Going there for PT is not only my 1st choice, it is my only choice. If you need PT for any issue, please check them out.

I received an evaluation and education on all the different muscles involved. Jodi had me connected to a computer so I could actually see these muscles work. I've had 2 sessions and exercises at home. GUESS WHAT ITS WORKING!"

"I had a great experience with 1st CHoice Fyzical at the SH location. Stephanie has been my PT since November 2019 following shoulder surgery for rotator cuff repair. I have found her to be extremely competent and knowledgeable. I enjoyed the way she explained the exercises and provided comparisons for me to remember how to perform them correctly. For instance one was to do the YMCA when stretching my arm with the dowel rod. Additionally she was always watching me, even if with another patient, to insure I was performing the exercises correctly. She was always on time and has such a personable way about her. The front desk person, Kim, was super kind and accommodating when it came to rescheduling or answering any of my questions. She was pleasant and assisted Stephanie at times with the removal of the tens pads. Stephanie is a gem of a person and also an expert in her field. I'm glad Fyzical was my choice for physical therapy. I highly recommend them."

"I have had 3 major injuries and rehabbed 2 of them at 1st Choice - the other injury I wasn’t living in the area at the time. If you have a choice, pick this place for your PT. The amount of individual attention I received here vastly outweighed the services I got at various other PT places. Normally, a PT has multiple patients and you’re doing exercises basically on your own, “seeing” your PT for about 10 minutes. At 1st Choice, the PTs have 1-2 patients at a time. At least half of my appt I was receiving feedback about my form, etc. The entire staff helped me so much in managing my Work Comp case. Finally, the atmosphere at 1st Choice is so beneficial. Amy works hard to create a warm, open community. Having a friendly environment where everyone is going through the healing together is such an underrated part of the healing process, and 1st Choice has it! I never write reviews, but 1st Choice is SO good, I can’t recommend them enough."
