LAURA BANNISTER, PT, DPT, OCS, OMT - AVANT PHYSICAL THERAPY REVIEWS
My physical therapist, Laura Bannister, is the absolute BEST! She worked with me on a hip injury and neck imbalance that I had had for years, and with only a couple months with her I am back up and running! I recommend her to anyone, especially dancers or athletes, as she really understands our unique needs.
Avant PT is a wonderful PT clinic. Laura Bannister is a brilliant PT who has helped me recover from multiple injuries as a professional ballet dancer. She is quick to assess issues and cleverly devises exercises that help to address strength inadequacies and imbalances, providing a detailed plan to return to full activity. She is caring and good humored, providing the mental support necessary for injury recovery. The clinic is well spaced and very clean with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. I could not recommend Avant more highly.
Ashlie is amazing and I couldn't recommend her or Avant PT more. I had shoulder surgery and she had me back to normal in such a short time. She's knowledgeable and wonderful to be around. Everyone I interacted with at Avant was kind and helpful.

KYLE SHILLING, DPT - RET PHYSICAL THERAPY & HEALTHCARE SPECIALISTS REVIEWS
Kyle is amazing, I have had constant back pain for the last two years and I'm finally getting some relief after 6 visits!! He really assess the daily activities that contribute to your pain and then comes up with small incremental adjustments to address the issue. Highly recommend!!!
After a shoulder surgery, coming to University Physical Therapy significantly helped my recovery process. Kyle is very knowledgeable and experienced on how to handle and help me gain my range of motion back. His method of stretches and exercises are all very effective. Julie and Laura are also great physical therapists who reflect Kyle’s exceptional knowledge and work ethics. Overall, this location has great and friendly physical therapy staff, which I highly would recommend to anyone considering therapy.
I feel that all therapists I have dealt with are very professional and have noticed a modest improvement in my condition.

I cannot recommend Union Physical Therapy enough. I have seen many different PT & OT professionals over the past few years, and this experience has been my best. I have made tremendous progress working with Mitch Owens for the past few months. I have been experiencing chronic pain for years, and with the help of Union PT, I am improving and regaining a degree of normalcy in my life. Mitch possesses a remarkable combination of knowledge, experience, attention, and intuition which seems to enable him to address my body’s condition with fresh interest and consideration each visit. Mitch is not only a great physical therapist. he is a cool guy and fun to work with.
Mitch is absolutely amazing. I've seen him for a number of rock climbing specific injuries, from my shoulder to my back, and he's always been able to fix whatever's going on. The exercises he gave me have helped me prevent injury and stay healthy. I'm deeply grateful to him and Union PT!
Union PT is amazing! I've been working with the PT's at Union PT for about 3 months now and they do a terrific job at helping to get me back to doing the activities I love most in life. I definitely recommend Union PT!
