Rose C., St. Johns resident
“My physical therapy helped me tremendously with my back and balance. Matt challenged me with the exercises and encouraged my progress. He was very understanding and was very kind and pleasant visit. This was my third physical therapy treatment and I keeps coming back for the great service. Thank you.”
Vincent G., former patient
“Dominic was my therapist at H2 Health. He watched me enter using a walker, listened intently to my issues, and got right to work. His encouragement and corrections gave me the incentive to follow through at home. Within six visits, I got rid of the walker and have done well ever since. Kudos to a very polite, persuasive, attentive therapist. The facility had great equipment too.”
