Absolutely the best! Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. I have suffered with years of back problems using Chiropractors and Orthopedic injections for relief.

I have met both the front desk staff and therapists and have known them for years. They are kind, friendly, caring and competent. I can’t recommend them highly enough. They are exceptional with vertigo and balance issues as well as orthopedic pain. They spend time and explain your condition and work with you to achieve your goals.

I went to Physical Therapy at the Hatboro location following Achilles surgery from an injury while rock climbing. From the moment I walked in the front door I felt welcomed and knew I was in the right place. My PT was Matt F. Matt is an extremely gifted therapist, has a great sense of humor and great taste in music. I cant say enough good things about him and all the staff.After months of hard work I was finally discharged. I'm actually going to miss seeing everyone there.

Terri Gasbarra

1708712378

I had a great experience at the Hatboro office with Matt Fackner. He repeatedly encouraged me and challenged me! The end result is that I have no more knee pain, because I am doing the correct exercises to improve my mobility And strengthening my muscles. Thank you, Matt! I am dancing again with no serious pain!

If you are looking for a physical therapist look no further. They have later hours if needed. I was able to go on Wednesday nights at 7pm which worked out great. Worked with Kevin and Kelly also a few interns. Everyone was five stars.

Ed Moll

Just finished up 2 months of PT for a rotator cuff tear. The team at Willow Grove PT in Hatboro is awesome. They are all knowledgeable , caring, patient and professional. Thanks especially to Matt Fackner who worked with me to accomplish amazing results. He helped me to understand the factors involved with my shoulder injury and rehabilitation. I now have the tools and incentive to continue strengthening on my own at home and the gym. I highly recommend this business.

I went to the Hatboro facility of WG PT. My therapist was Jackie.Jackie exhibited effectiveness in addressing my needs. We worked on improving my balance. Her original assessment both eliminated possible problems as well as pinpointed areas that need improvement.We (me, not really her) did a variety of exercises to improve my balance. After 4 weeks I made progress. Assuming I continue with her recommendations, I should continue to improve.

Stephanie Lemonds

There are so many things I can say. As a single mother, I was worried about having to bring my daughter with me; however, the staff was so kind about her tagging along. Matt was great to work with, and would create these little challenges for her. Even on the occasions when I worked with Jen, she would include her when she could. Overall, the staff was very knowledgeable and fun to work with. I was given exercises to complete at home, and was sent home with bands to ensure I had the means to do them. At the end of the day, I am extremely happy that I chose this group and, if the need should arise in the future, I would choose them again.

I just finished a round of therapy with Matt Fackner. I worked with Matt in the past and I've always been pleased with his Professionalism, knowledge, skills and especially his personal touch. I hope I don't have to see him in the future, but if the necessity comes about I would no doubt request Matt. I would like to also mentioned that he was ably assisted by JD. A great young man who has a very promising futureMost important for me was dealing with my issues, but he also identified other issues that I needed to work on and I am very grateful for his knowledge and skills.The very best to all at Hatboro Physical Therapy.

Janet Karp

I highly recommend Mike Amole, a wonderful physical therapist. Mike is very thorough in his evaluation and it quickly becomes clear that he is entirely knowledgeable about dizziness and balance issues and how to treat them. He patiently explained the procedures and answered my questions and I never felt rushed during the session. I only needed 2 appointments for Mike to alleviate my BPPV. He provides excellent care.

Gale Carlin

Glenside Physical Therapy is absolutely wonderful. The therapists are the nicest people. They got me from a walker to crutches, to a cane and now I can walk in a treadmill. Not only am I now walking, they worked to help improve my posture, balance, and strength. I'll miss them.

Colleen DP

1679106245

Excellent practice! I've gone to Willow Grove PT many times over the past several years for various issues. They are always friendly and professional. Other places I have been are not as attentive or patient-focused. This place focuses on patient needs and recovery. Kevin, my usual PT at the Glenside office, always makes adjustments to my at-home exercises as needed. It is definitely not a "one size fits all" type of place. I highly recommend this practice.

I arrived at Willow Grove PT- Glenside after a hospital stay during which I was diagnosed with dizziness and balance problems. I was referred by my brother, who is a DPT because he thought this was the perfect place for me. Boy, was he right. Kevin and his staff did an excellent job literally getting me back on my feet. Their individual attention and patience were keys to my recovery. Thank you, Kevin and all the folks at Glenside! Bob McHugh

Pam Steinberg

I can’t say enough about how great my experience was at Willow Grove Physical Therapy of Glenside. I worked with Val, Malti and Kevin. They were all so warm, knowledgeable, encouraging, and empathetic. I’ve been to other facilities for physical therapy and they didn’t even come close to offering the personalized attention and expertise offered here. The staff always listened to my concerns and were happy to creatively adjust the plan as needed! I am feeling so much better and back to activities I couldn’t have enjoyed prior to receiving physical therapy from this talented team!Sent from my iPhone

Willow Grove Physical Therapy is a clean, bright, and welcoming facility. All the staff are friendly, skillful and patient! For the first month, my therapist, Val, directed me in exercises for balance, and for muscle strengthening and stretching to relieve the pain in my knee. Each week she noted my progress and endurance. During the second month, Val encouraged me to work harder, to overcome my fear of pain, in order to reach my goal of returning to yoga practice. I am back on the mat, thanks to Val's guidance and encouragement.

After 3 years of living in pain and visiting countless specialists, chiropractors and physical therapists who performed X-rays, MRIs, ultrasound therapy and cortisone shots I was recommended to make an appointment with Erin. After thinking I would have to learn to live with chronic pain, she not only gave me encouragement and hope, but she taught me how to calm down my nervous system which she explained was firing at such a high level for an extended period of time. Less than three weeks later I am so grateful to be back to my physically active lifestyle and living my best life!

Kathy Lennen

Natalie Simon

This was my first experience with PT and it definitely exceeded my expectations. Kelly was so great to work with. She really challenged me and listened to me and with her guidance I made so much progress with my injury.I had a chance to work with a couple of the other therapists there as well and it seems like you really can’t go wrong. Knowledgeable, caring and great!

Stephen Bailkin

1654790718

Had double knee replacement and was placed into home PT by surgeon for 2 weeks. My cousin highly recommended Matt at Hatboro Physical Therapy. Best choice I made. From day one Matt was patient & professional in leading my way to recovery. He answered all my questions and made each session more challenging (in a good way) by adding new exercises and not repeating all the previous ones. Just completed yesterday and now 8 weeks after surgery back on golf course!!!

James Meyer

1654789827

For the first time in my life I experienced severe vertigo and had no idea what was going on. My doctor referred me to WGPT and I started feeling better within days. I think I only needed 3 total visits and I was back to new. I went from practically bed ridden to driving again in days. Thank you!

Frank Hart

1653319660

I’ve had a problem with my neck for three months and have been to the Dr.’s to look at it. They had me go for X-rays and found nothing wrong to cause the pain I was in. They thought it would go away in time. Called back to the Dr.’s office and they ordered pt. One visit so far to pt and my neck is much better already. I’m sorry I didn’t get to Willow Grove Physical Therapy months ago. It’s not perfect yet but oh what a difference one trip there has done. I can now at least function in life’s duties.

Edgar Holzer
