WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

Dr. Childs is the best physical therapist I have ever been to! He is efficient in his diagnostic abilities, and offers treatment on your first session so you leave feeling better than when you arrived! He offers well balanced home exercises so the impairments improve on a daily basis. His “cash only” (he accepts cards) clinic is also very convenient, as health insurance is taken out of the equation. No stressing to determine whether he’s in network or not! If you need a physical therapist, he is the one to see!

Dr. Ross Child’s is the best physical therapist I have been to. He has help me with my shoulder, back, and a quad injury. He is by far the most knowledgeable person I know and he explains everything so you understand. I highly recommend him to anyone I know.

I cannot speak highly enough about Ross! I have been seeing him regularly for the past 3 years. He has gotten me through some rough post surgical rehab as well as keeping my joints and muscles greased up to prepare for running events. It's clear he loves what he does and I couldn't have done some of the things I've done without his help. He constantly strives to keep me active. I can't imagine going anywhere else.

Ross has taken my broken body and allowed it keep moving, keep working, and power through all of the abuse I put it through. He never told me I had to stop. Instead, he worked with me to determine which movements to ease up on or ways I could make them less painful. He has used so many different methods to help me including active release, dry needling, joint mobilization, and exercise bands to name a few. He loves to explain what is happening and why and then tell me some of the ways I can fix it. He is a great listener who is incredibly knowledgeable and caring. I highly recommend Ross!

Ross is the reason why I have an active lifestyle despite a life changing injury. He’s a wonderful resource, giving great solutions to physical issues without the typical ‘take drugs, ice and rest’. His calm demeanor along with a genuine interest in your health makes working with him a really good experience. He knows his stuff and his methods work.
