Patient Raves

After having chronic pain from arthritis for more than 25 years, when I experienced debilitating back pain for several months, it was difficult to have hope in its improvement. After 8 sessions with Dr Groves, the pain was gone and I could return to all my previous exercises (body pump, water aerobics, Pilates). He is Great!

-Joan C.



I would recommend Groves PT to others because of their training and clear instruction with research supported information on exercises as well as dismissing various myths and unsupported approaches.

-Sarah S.



Other PT places I’ve gone to were unfriendly and cold. At Groves PT, I laughed at every visit. They were friendly, down to earth and actually made PT enjoyable.

-Katie W.



Since coming to Groves PT, I have achieved greater strength in my body. My legs feel stronger when walking. Dr Garrigues is a fun therapist to work with and the home exercises help me too! In the past, Dr Garrigues worked on my shoulder with equally successful results.

-Lill



The staff is knowledgeable, professional, and seem to genuinely care about your well being. Your recovery is clearly priority #1.
