There aren't enough stars or praise to fully rate the amazing work done here! Avida is as professional and perfect as an PT institution could be. From day 1 the secretaries helped get me in that same day(most places are a 1-3 week wait), Kelsey greeted me warmly as an add on to her schedule and little did I know she would be saving me! I have left every visit proclaiming to her that she is a godess for the work she has done. I had an acute back spasm/issue that limited my ability to walk/sit/stand/work/workout/shower/etc that seemed to happen overnight, just the week before my best friends wedding. Kelsey took me under her wing and had me on the dance floor and in my bridesmaid dress not only standing up straight but without pain. She has worked with me diligently for 2 months to not only get me back to full day to day functions but back into to my workout regimens as well. The kind nature of the entire staff is over whelming. My work schedule makes definite appointments challenging however any time I called with "I'm going to be late" or "need to cancel" they encouraged me to still come in and did everything they could to Make sure I was still seen that day. The only time I've ever felt this type of large community support like I've felt at avida is in running any half marathon, just a compilation of many random cheerleaders, getting you to the end. Every penny spent here will be beyond worth it. One week before my injury I had just completed 13.1 miles and today after 2 months of rehab I just completed my first 1.5 miles post injury pain free and I owe every...

Stephen Laflamme went above and beyond working with my husband in PT post-back surgery. With a condition that is so misunderstood by many medical professionals, Stephen has the most understanding and conducted the most research regarding nerve impingement/pain due to bulging disc out of all of the medical professionals we dealt with during my husband's surgery/treatment. It is rare to find a physical therapist who has such extensive knowledge and experience in the field of exercise science, and who actually knows realistically and effectively how to apply proper biomechanics to an individual's life. He is case and point why physical therapists need to know (and actually PRACTICE) proper strength training! I have recommended Stephen to multiple people with back issues/nerve pain. All in all, unfortunately many medical professionals just don't "get it" (the practical aspects of medical issues/injuries, and how to properly fix them through incorporating proper biomechanics into one's lifestyle)-...

I have seen therapists at Avida PT for quite a long time. I’ve always been active and damaged my knees while running. I also hurt my shoulder as the result of a skiing accident. Avida PT has seen me through numerous knee and shoulder scopes as well as total joint replacements in both knees and one shoulder. I managed to rupture the L5-S1 joint space, receiving PT at first, leading to surgery and follow-up therapy. I have been plagued with back and hip pain and the therapists at Avida have helped me to reduce or even eliminate that pain so I can live my life. When you get your therapy at Avida you generally work with the same therapist every visit. I appreciate that because they get to know you and are better able to provide an individual plan for you. They are very accommodating and it’s a pleasure to have treatment there. I have no hesitation in recommending Avida...
