I have been coming here for a few years now. First for vertigo, knee replacement rehab and now vestibular and balance. Everybody including therapists and staff do a great job. I always recommend them to others for all therapies. Balance/vertigo is where they are true experts.

I am on a Physical Therapy journey to help me with vertigo episodes. Today was my third session. Matt worked with me for the first time. The other two times, Jen was my therapist. They both are great to work with, and I am looking forward to finding some relief.I just finished my physical therapy sessions. I had the most positive experience, mostly because of the physical therapists who worked with me. Jenn was my primary therapist who was wonderful. Such a caring, patient, knowledgeable professional, Jenn provided me with insight into my condition along with the exercises to benefit me going forward. The rest of the staff was friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Willow Grove Physical Therapy in Hatboro for your physical therapy needs.

As a person who works full-time I really appreciate the extended hours.
