Testimonials

I have seen several physical therapists over the years, but none compare to Paula Burks. I wish I had come in contact with her earlier. Paula is a highly trained physical therapist with years of experience. Due to her treatment plan, which consisted of strengthening, stretching, and balancing exercises plus manual massage, I have recovered from two major surgeries and a hamstring injury. I am appreciative of Paula's kindness, patience, and caring attitude shown to me during my many physical therapy sessions. Without hesitation, I highly recommend Paula's expertise to help you become, 'the best you can be.'

“Highly recommend, professional, knowledgeable, compassionate.” I have had two knee replacement surgeries over the course of one year, requiring pre-op and post-op physical therapy. I met Paula during my first pre-op therapy. I was hooked! She prepared me greatly for both of my surgeries, resulting in great success. She listens, understands and supports while being challenging. I joked that she spent her nights thinking of ways to challenge me, as every visit she took care to exercise and stretch me based on my needs, not on a chart, that is how much she cares! Her level of knowledge and expertise is surprising. It has truly been a pleasurable experience, I never thought I would look forward to physical therapy! 

Lynn and I are fortunate that we have the resources to choose therapeutic support from a wide array of sites. We have chosen Paula because of her vast knowledge and ability to transfer her knowledge into positive action for healing. Paula has a unique ability of convincing her patients the roles they play in self-healing while at the same time providing the encouragement and prescribed therapy they need for better health. Paula’s dedication, hard work and integrity have made healing and life much easier for us!

I went to Paula initially for PT for a painful shoulder. Not only did Paula help by giving me exercises and increased range of motion, but her thoughts and guidance on how to navigate the whole medical situation was just as valuable. I was overwhelmed with non-helpful doctors, MRI needs, and then wasn't clear on the written diagnosis. Paula translated the medical terms and even went so far as to recommend an orthopedic I felt good about seeing. This is exactly the kind of full service I wish others in the medical profession would provide to their patients. Since my shoulder, I've also seen Paula when my back went out. That brought my life to a complete standstill. Paula was able to offer some immediate relief and is still helping me work on improved balance and stability that will diminish the frequency. and/or likelihood of future back issues. I'm grateful to have found her.

For years I had problems with my forearms after golf. I had to ice them or play less frequently because of the pain. After one session with Paula doing dry-needling, I no longer have to ice after golf and I'm golfing more than ever. Thanks Paula!

Paula Burks is a consummate professional. Paula is a professional athlete and understands the needs of a past athlete like me that has beaten his body down on many levels. The therapy was targeted and got me back going from a full knee replacement, a sciatica issue, hip and more. My wife and I own a wedding venue and are on the go outside working all the time, our livelihood depends on it. Thanks to Paula, I am 60 but feel 40 again.

As a caretaker for my mentally challenged sister, I had to arrange for her physical therapy after her shoulder injury. We had several therapists work with her, once we met Paula, we knew we hit the jackpot. Paula had the patience to get to know and understand her special needs. My sister developed a strong bond with Paula, even looking forward to her sessions with her. I will be forever grateful for the special care and the healing she was able to provide us with. We love our Paula!

Paula is a gifted healer.  I had been dealing with a chronic hamstring issue for months and had tried everything (orthopedic care, physical therapy, chiropractic) and nothing helped.  Starting with our first conversation about the issue, Paula was kind, attentive and methodical about her treatment approach, using a combination of functional rehab plus massage and dry needling.  Almost immediately, I was better — and am now completely healed.  From the outset, Paula gave me the most beautiful gift you can possibly give to someone suffering from chronic pain:  she gave me hope.  Again I say, she is gifted.  And I truly cannot recommend her highly enough.
