Back 2 Normal is in a league of their own when it comes to physical therapy! Lisa and her entire staff, especially Heather, are incredibly knowledgeable, caring, and dedicated to what they do! I am an almost 50 year old runner and after several months of working with them, my knees feel better than they have in years and I am getting stronger and overall in better shape than I have been in years! I cannot recommend these women highly enough!Jennifer Kurzawa2024-07-15 I have had numerous surgeries requiring physical therapy. My experience with Dani at Back 2 Normal has been the best by far. Her holistic approach, coupled with her experience and knowledge, led to a more positive outcome than I expected following total knee replacement surgery. I highly recommend Dani and the team at Back 2 Normal.Chris Lenz2024-07-06 My experience with Back 2 Normal and Lisa Chase has been life changing for me! Highly knowledgeable and precise with diagnosis and treatment. I would strongly recommend!Damien Palladino2024-06-30 Excellent people here. Lisa really knows what she’s doing and how to best help you achieve your goals. Working with Heather has been an absolute pleasure, and Danielle Kelley PhD has been instrumental in getting my post surgery (femur) back to its best performance in over a decade. Great team to work with.cody leclair2024-06-24 Lisa and Heather are incredible. I see the entire team at B2N and I have never been happier with a PT team. They are so caring and thoughtful in their therapy plan and treat entire body not just injury site. I have seen many physical therapists over the years but none using the cutting edge techniques and tools that they do and the results are evident. Highly recommend Back 2 Normal!Samantha Sullivan2024-06-21 Recently completed my third session at Back 2 Normal with treatment provided by Dr. Kirsten Snellenburg , I was referred to Dr. K. for a Visceral Evaluation with treatment to follow.I found Dr. K. to be excellent in communicating what she determined needed to be addressed and then applying various techniques of adjustment .The end result was improved organ function with at home manipulations I could perform.I highly recommend Dr. K. and the location and condition of the Back 2 Normal facility is easily accessible and first rate.Tony Testa2024-05-27 Best PT I’ve ever received. I’ve tried all sorts of PT, chiropractor, etc to fix my persistent back pain which kept me out of the gym and away from the golf course. Dani gave me a personalized approach to my unique problems and has me feeling better than ever. 10/10 would recommendColin Jackson2024-05-20 When my Back Surgeon recommended Lisa Chase and Back 2 Normal (in lieu of back surgery), I decided to give it a try. From my very first consultation, I knew that Lisa and her team genuinely cared about my health and creating for me a path forward for longevity and wellness. As a competitive beach volleyball player with both Scoliosis and Lumbar Stenosis, I knew that I needed to be completely dedicated to my wellness and Back 2 Normal was the perfect solution. After just a few PT sessions, I graduated past my back therapy and am now actively engaged in Pilates with an elite Pilates Coach (Ilene) at Back 2 Normal. I can say without hesitation that since working with Coach Ilene, I have greatly reduced my back pain, enhanced my quickness and agility on the volleyball court, and have started (for the first time in my life) building a very strong core (the foundation for everything). I cannot thank Lisa, Coach Ilene, and the amazing physical therapists at Back 2 Normal. If you want to reclaim your life and be the active person you once were, or if you are currently healthy and want to prevent injury or aging from limiting you from the sport or activity that you love, I would highly recommend Back 2 Normal as your complete wellness destination.Ralph Jones2024-05-15 Lisa & Staff are always professional and work diligently to treat my foot pain. I love to go there just to see Buster Brown!Cynthia Ross2024-05-07Reviews
