Patient stories
Iron City Physical Therapy is an exceptional place to receive care. Wil is very attentive and truly listens to his patients and makes sure you are consistently moving on the path to have more mobility and being pain free. I had had some poor experiences with physical therapy in the past, but Wil and the people at Iron City Physical Therapy have restored my faith and trust in the field.
After years of on-and-off SI joint pain that limited my activities and affected my mood, I started PT at Iron City Physical Therapy. They provided a thorough examination, listened to me, and offered thoughtful care. After a few weeks, my consistent pain is gone, and I feel significantly better! I also learned a lot about my body and movement. No regrets!
After only a few weeks my pain & swelling have diminished! My ankle is stronger and I’m back to kickboxing. You rock!
After knee surgery, I had no hope of a successful recovery because just doing the basic things were hard. I had problems walking, sitting, kneeling, showering and running. After working with the clinicians, I am a new and improved person! My recovery time and healing process was on time thanks to Iron City Physical Therapy. I would like to personally thank you all for helping me through the tough process.
Big help pointing the way to safer walking, balance and fitness - Thank you!
When I first came to see Wil, my hip pain was a daily struggle, preventing me from enjoying my favorite activities. After working with him, my pain has almost completely disappeared! I’m now able to fully enjoy outdoor activities again and am so much better off thanks to Iron City Physical Therapy.
