I would highly recommend Carling Physical Therapy. Steve and his staff are excellent! They treat you like family, by always calling you by your first name and they listen to you as you explain how your feeling and what exercises and therapy are benefiting you to reach your maximum mobility. I came in with a small tear on my rotator cuff and a frozen shoulder. Unable to lift my arm above my shoulder. 3 months of working with Steve and his staff therapist(Rachel, Becky and Jessica) and all the assistants helped me to get my mobility and range of motion back in my shoulder. Now I have full function and no pain in my shoulder. I would diffently use their service again for any future recovery.
Carling Physical Therapy helped me recover from my second hip replacement. They were professional and friendly. I actually enjoyed going to physical therapy because I knew it would greatly increase my mobility and because they were my greatest cheerleaders. I give Carling Physical Therapy my highest of recommendations.
I highly recommend Carling Physical Therapy. From the start, their care felt truly personalized—every therapist took the time to understand my individual needs, goals, and preferences. What impressed me most was the level of attention they give each patient. Even though I was only there for a relatively simple rotator cuff repair, I was treated with the same level of importance, respect, and focus as patients facing far more complex challenges. Every therapist I worked with genuinely listened and adjusted my therapy based on what I felt was helping the most. Their professionalism, compassion, and commitment to patient-centered care set them apart. I’m grateful for the experience and would confidently recommend them to anyone in need of physical therapy.
I've been to many physical therapy locations and worked with many PTs. I am really impressed with how thoroughly this practice has listened to me, continues to check in with me and as a result - I have been experiencing positive progress like I have never had before. I have hypermobility and connective tissue disorder, this has made my journey to find a place I can always come to for help difficult. It takes therapists years of experience with people that have the same or similar diagnoses as well as a passion for continued learning to be able to give the kind of care I need. I'm so thankful I came here and worked with Steve and the rest of the staff. That is another reason I really like coming here is that, everyone knows me, they know what we're doing and everyone listens and helps me. I also have Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome as well as small fiber neuropathy. Pain and restriction has been all I've known for years. I'm ecstatic to report that while I work hard in therapy, i do not come home with pain and I am not missing sleep or having to take additional meds to deal with pain. My progress has led to a LOT LESS PAIN and a LOT MORE RANGE and more strength and stamina than I have gained in other places. I really thought I would need a lot more sessions. I HIGHLY recommend working with Carling Physical Therapy as they will help you meet and exceed your goals!
Dr Carling and his entire staff are the best! I found him because I was looking for a PT with a Neubie device to help me recover from knee surgery. I have had some rough injures over the last few years and this rehab has been amazing! He takes a different approach than anyone I’ve ever been to and I feel like I’ve made way more progress in a short time. He takes a whole body approach and thinks of everything that might be beneficial to help you heal. The staff is also amazing-everyone is so happy, helpful, and knowledgeable. I actually enjoy going because they are so incredible. I don’t live anywhere near his office and I make the drive bc he is worth it. My family members all want to see him now bc he has a unique approach that can help with so many things. I’m always skeptical of places with so many perfect reviews but these are genuine. Can’t say enough about this place! Thank you Dr C!
