Dr. Laura W. Folger is amazing. Her knowledge, her PT skills (especially manual PT skill), and the way she has educated me about how to move have been a game changer in healing from injury/trauma! She is the GOAT! Highly recommend seeing her; 10/10!
Laura always provides a very science based therapy experience. She has been my go-to PT for a great number of years on several physical therapy needs. Highly recommend Inspire PT services.
I have had some fine physical therapists in the past, but Laura’s abilities and knowledge far exceed every previous experience. She understands that just because my knee inflammation brought me to her, there are other parts of my body that are affected by this problem and she is addressing those areas, as well. I have made great progress under her care and I am so appreciative of the thought and attention that she gives me. She has e-mailed numerous times between visits to check in. She also has wonderful technology for personalized at home exercises (with videos), text and email appointment reminders and more. I recommend her to everyone!
Laura is a baller, a beast, a wizard, a magician and more. She has a wealth of knowledge about a tone of different healing modalities and knows how and when to implement them practically and effectively. I always look forward to our sessions for both physical relief and very pleasant company. I’ve seen over 15 plus PT’s in my day and she’s #1.
