Reviews

"East Village Foot & Ankle Surgeons recommended I go here for PT. I had a great experience and will be going back if I ever need PT again!!"

"Excellent at explaining what they are doing and why!"

"After my first appointment I was already experiencing pain relief for tennis elbow that has lasted for nearly two years. I recently had a PRP injection in my elbow and Amy has provided knowledge and support to follow the protocol and get me back to the lifestyle that I desire."

"I had my left ACL replaced with cadaver muscle & bolted into my leg. In 7 months, I was back snow skiing thanks to Derek and the team embracing my goal! It was great working with one person for continued consistency. I didn’t have that experience in the city. Thanks for all the therapy!!"

"The staff is very friendly. Amy was very knowledgeable and helpful."

"Worked with Derek following spinal fusion at L5 -S1. We did about 6 weeks of PT with very good results. My mobility, strength and flexibility improved greatly. I am back to basically normal activities. Derek was awsome, very personable and knowledgeable! Highly recommended."

"I had a total shouder replacement in May. I worked with Tara to get range of motion and strength back in my arm and shoulder. Tara was very knowledgeable and personable to work with. After a setback she took my rehab slowly so as to avoid another setback. The home exercises she gave me helped me get stronger. The stretching and massaging, especially early in my rehab, always felt so good! I'd definitely recommend Tara for any physical therapy you may need."

"Claire is the best! East Village PT is a welcoming environment and I feel a lot stronger and more mobile in my workouts and runs."

"Danielle Jensen works so hard to help all of her patients get well and return to a normal life. She will do whatever it takes to make a difference! Looking for the best outcome is her goal for every patient she serves. I have been working with Danielle for over 5 years and my situation was not an easy fix, but she worked tirelessly to find the best solution."

"I've had the pleasure of working with Amy two separate times and both were great. Her expertise is top notch and she made me feel like a valued patient. She listened to my concerns and always had a plan to help. I have seen great improvement in mobility since seeing her. Her secretary Jeannett is always welcoming and friendly. I definitely recommend!"

"I had a wonderful experience as a patient here! It was very easy to schedule an initial appointment, and they got me in within a week. While parking in the East Village can sometimes be annoying, I never had troubles finding a spot, and they pay for your street parking! Dan gave me great tools and guidance for at home work, he explains everything very thoroughly. Hopefully I don’t need PT in the future, but if I do I’ll definitely be returning here!"

"This facility is a really great place to have rehab done for both knees and shoulders. I would request anyone wondering where to go for rehab to come to Okoboji physical therapy. I am very pleased with my results after seeing Derek for both of my knee replacements. If I could give 10 stars I would."

"I highly recommend EV Physical Therapy!! Daniel Sherman is an excellent physical therapist; he takes time to thoroughly access your needs and cares about helping you feel better. I saw him over a course of three months for strain in my lower back/hip, and he helped me through various exercises as well as dry needling to alleviate the pain. He is very knowledgeable and makes sure to educate you about your pain/injury, and what you can do outside of his practice to progress. I gradually got better and the pain has gone away- hopefully for good! He says he’ll be your therapist for life even after you’ve graduated from sessions. Thank you, Dan!!!"

"I seen Amy forTendinitis in my elbow. Amy was Fantastic !!! Her knowledge and skill was able to get my elbow back to 100% with no pain.The exersises and stretching I learned will be a part of my every day life from now on. Anyone in need of PT I would highly recommend Amy at Spencer Physical Therapy. Also a big thank you to Jeanette for working around my schedule getting my appointments set up."

"Dan and EVPT is amazing! He was super welcoming and made the idea of physical therapy (for my 11yr old son)something he actually looked forward to. Dan did a great job making him feel comfortable and explaining what he was going to do and how it would help. He is pain free and back to playing baseball. Thank you, Dan!!"

"I worked with Amy to fix my hand up after trigger finger surgery and she is an outstanding person to work with. Her personality is over the moon and I consider what she has done for my hand to be stupendous. I went from very bad to very very good and I would recommend this physical therapy office and all that it includes to anyone 💯"

"We have such a great time visiting and doing therapy! Good things are happening and I trust Amy , she's the best! Pastor David!"

"Amy did a terrific job with my hand, it has improved so much. I would recommend her very highly. Thank you Amy!!!"

"My therapist Kelly was the all time best. She understood my needs and treated me with the utmost respect. She is a phenomenal therapist and would recommend her to anyone that would need her. Dawn the receptionist was professional and very pleasant. She took care of my scheduling with great ease. Great place to do my therapy. I am one that never completes therapy cause it never seem to help. This was my best experience! Thanks ladies"

"The crew I worked with was very intelligent and answered any questions I had. They were very good at making my knee better again. When I had a bad time with my knee they were always able to make it better. Very much appreciated doing my PT here!"

"Amy is a fantastic physical therapist. An expert in her line of work. Great results with my rehab. Thanks again!"

"Absolutely amazing physical therapists! Large windows and bubbly personalities, they were a big help on my road to recivery! Highly recommend for anyone who wants to laugh while working out!"

"Lady is nice they seem to care about you and your health would recommend"

"I would just like to say that LM Physical Therapy are top notch people! I had both a Right and Left total knee replacement this year, and Brian and Emily both worked with me on getting back my ROM and my strength back in both my knees. I would recommend them to anyone looking for Physical Therapy! Thank you Brian and Emily"

"I have been working with Amy who is a wonderful therapist, She has helped me so much and is very knowledgeable. I enjoy working with her and can see improvement each time I visit. Thanks Amy!"

"The interior space is cool and has a relaxed atmosphere. The employees are friendly. Dan is a phenomenal physical therapist. He identified the source of my pain, helped alleviate the problem, and coached me through strengthening the muscles. My favorite part of Physical Therapy was the muscle scraping. This released so much pain in my leg. Thank you Dan."

"Amy was extremely helpful in my recovery process. She introduced new things each visit to accelerate my progress. She is very competent and explained aspects of treatment very well. I would recommend her to any new patient."

"Daniel Sherman is fantastic! I’ve struggled with knee problems for 30 years and in all that time have rarely encountered a dr who truly listened until I started with Dan. He responds to my questions with a wealth of knowledge. He acknowledges my fears are valid, and built a treatment plan WITH me based on my goals. I look forward to our appointments and feel the effects working everyday. For the first time in a very, very long time I feel significantly less pain, my stability continues to increase, and I’m actually excited for events that require steps, walking, and long periods of standing. I highly recommend East Village Physical Therapy!"

"All therapist and therapist assistant are always pleasant, knowledgeable and awesome personalities..it's a great environment."

"my experience with Okoboji physical therapy has been a wonderful experience. After my knee replacement I failed in the first three weeks to do proper therapy, and i was set back with stiffness and inability to move as well as it should. Derek worked exceptionally hard on my new knee to get it loosened up and able to bend and straighten as it should. This took a lot of time and three sessions a week to accomplish. dawn worked hard as well to help me keep the three a week routine. the results are that this knee is in the realm of where it needs to be. I thank Okoboji physical therapy for all the time and effort they have put in on me. "

"I have been very pleased with the therapy I received here. I will continue to do what I can do at home as suggested. This is a top-notch center. I really enjoy the friendly people here and their professionalism."

"Very good customer service and have helped me from a leg that I couldn’t move to a fully functional leg! Derek was my personal trainer and did a phenomenal job!"

"I saw Katrina for physical therapy for my hip. I knew that PT would help, but was shocked by how much it did. They are very knowledgeable and the exercises and care I received were specific to my needs. The people at the front desk and the employees I encountered were kind and respectful. I recommend Le Mars Physical Therapy and Katrina to anyone looking for a PT in the area! "

"Lake Mills Physical Therapy is AWESOME. Back on December 10 I fractured my left ankle in 3 places and after 3 surgeries was sent to therapy. The last surgery was an ankle fusion and I was non weight bearing for 14 weeks. With their guidance I walk normally and they showed me how to modify some movements. Physical therapy is worth your time and if you do what they suggest you will have a great outcome. Thank you!"

"I've been to Lake Mills Physical Therapy multiple times for myself and most recently for my baby. The staff always takes such good care to explain everything necessary to improve whatever it is you are in for. The care and kindness in this office is reassuring. They truly want you to feel/get better! "

"Tara does a very good job"

"I've been coming to PT since February. This has benefited me a lot and I have came a long way since my surgery. I have gained more muscle and strength throughout this time."

"Anytime I need physical therapy I always tell my doctor that I want to go to LeMars Physical Therapy. I know I am going to get great care. I appreciate Logan so much for taking time to listen to me and figuring out the best corse of action for my therapy needs. "

"Therapy helped me tremousdly! It strengthed my legs and helped with my shortness of breath. Everyone there is so helpful,informative, and friendly."

"Emily & Brian are the best! I will be stopping in to see them again!"

"Started going to therapy in Jan 2024 for shoulder issues have worked with 4 trainer but predominantly Danielle and April. Both are very good to work with keeping therapy fun but also push to help you get better. They try new things to keep body from plateauing. Never a bad day at therapy actually look forward to it even if it means discomfort as trainers try to help you understand why exercises help and help keeping motivation to keep going at therapy and at home or work"

"10/10 recommend LMPT! Small town feel but welcoming to all those that walk through their doors. Personally, this physical therapy adventure was a “full circle” experience for me. 2 out of the 3 providers that worked with me are parents to some kiddos that I helped take care of at our local daycare awhile back. Now they have helped take care of me with my rehabilitation and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience or outcome! They pushed me to do my best but were flexible with me on my harder days. Extremely thankful for all that they’ve done, and will continue to do :)"

"Lemars Physical Therapy definitely improved my quality of life! Katrina was very patient with me . I never felt rushed. Everything was done at my level of difficulty. Thank you so much for helping me. Will definitely come back if needed!! On a scale of 1-10, definitely a 10."

"I am currently having Therapy for a fully torn quadricep tendon from my knee and 2 partially torn meniscus tendons. I have been very impressed with the knowledge, professionalism and also pushing me to my limits to help with strengthening my knee. Kendra is very caring, has the knowledge and knows when to push me to do better. I have had Bob and Kristy as well, all are very capable Therapist. I would highly recommend them to anyone !!!"

"They are the best therapist I have ever had. I would not be able to survive without them!"

"Very happy with treatment and staff"

"Love Kelly! She has been amazing to work with! She doesn't push me too far but pushes enough to make a difference! 100% recommend to anyone!"

"I would highly recommend Le Mars Physical Therapy! I have gone to them for therapy after several injuries, two quite recently. Katrina was my therapist when I was wanting to safely strengthen my arm after a rotator cuff muscle injury. I was so pleased with the results. My arm and upper back is stronger than it’s been in years! Bob treated me when I had plantars fasciitis in my foot. Using various techniques and therapies, such as cupping, dry needling, and ultrasound, he brought healing to my foot, then had me do exercises that strengthened muscles I didn’t even know were weak! Bob and Katrina, along with the other therapists, are so knowledgeable, caring, and eager to help. I will continue to go there for all my physical therapy needs."

" I have been seeing Madison Glidden for therapy the last couple months. Madison is a knowledgeable professional who sincerely cares about her patient and seeks out various treatments to ensure healing. I very much appreciate her caring demeanor and skill. I also have been treated by Logan Richard. He is also a skilled competent professional who sincerely cares about the welfare of his patients and will do his utmost to ensure healing. My experience with both therapists at LeMars Physical Therapy has been positive. I highly recommend their services, and appreciate their care. "

"Kelly is fabulous. She has helped me through 2 knee repacements and migraines. Her dry needling is great for shoulder pain as well. Give Spencer Physical Therapy a try. You will be impressed!"

"I had great therapy sessions. They listened to me and had a plan to get mobility in the muscles.I advise others to go there."

"I am very pleased with everyone, everyone is kind caring and makes my work out fun. I'm glad to do my progress here I wouldn't want to go anywhere else a BIG thank you to everyone."

"I would highly recommend Spencer Physical Therapy for your PT needs! I have worked with Amy and Kelly and they both are wonderful! Spencer Physical Therapy does a lot of hands on before having you do exercises in the office. It has really helped me with my recovery. I recommend them to everyone!"

"Amy is excellent to work with & knowledgeable to answer my questions about healing after my shoulder surgery. I highly recommend her."

"Emily and Brian were fantastic! I chose to drive to see them even though there is a PT right across the street from me. They answered all my questions and were super friendly. "

"Been coming to see Dan Halfman for just a few weeks and I’m already seeing wonderful results. I broke my heel a few years ago and I had the plate removed this year. Dan is helping me to get the foot loosened up and reduce pain and swelling. He’s doing a Great job, but more than that he’s so personable and easy to work with. I recommend this Physical Therapy location highly."

"100% recommend to anyone that needs physical therapy, I had a thumb injury and needed PT, Amy is very professional and detail oriented, also highly skilled at figuring out a plan of action to help get you back to where you need to be!!"

"Lake Mills Physical Therapy has gotten my knee recovery back to 100% in a very effective and efficient time. Loved Brian’s dad jokes"

"Spencer Physical Therapy has been a wonderful choice for me through my healing process after tendon transfer surgery. As a certified hand therapist, Amy Marlow, has gone above and beyond to help me regain use, function, and strength in my hand. She’s constantly researching new techniques and exercises that are specific to my goals and activities. They are not one size fits all. They get to know you and your specific needs. Elite expertise and care from really great people!!"

"The therapy, knowledge and advice I received from Bob was top notch and extremely beneficial. I learned something new every session to take with me to continue my healing journey outside of PT. My balance and strength have come a long way and I am very grateful to have an educated therapist who truly cares about his patients. "

"EVPT is amazing. They were incredibly welcoming, ensured the process of PT (for my son) was something he didn’t dread, and they did an amazing job explaining what they were doing and why it was beneficial. In our case, my son’s migraine and vertigo symptoms were healed through the process of PT. So thankful! Highly recommend."

"They listen to you, great place, great people. Great results."

"Had a knee replacement in February and chose LeMars Physical Therapy to do my therapy and couldn't be happier with the results. The staff, the facility and all who work there make it a friendly environment. My doctor said I have done great and we r both happy with the results. Thank u again for the great work u do 💯"

"LMPT was very good at explaining and working with my knee to get it so I was w able to go on with my life pain free. I really appreciated everything that they did for me. "

"The facility is centrally located in Spencer and easily accessible. A great staff who’s certainly qualified to do the job well. Very spacious too! I would recommend signing up for the peace of mind that is essential for better health and wellbeing! Thanks you"

"I am very pleased with the care I recieved."

"I can't say enough about this place or about Bob and April! They do an amazing job and really care about seeing their patients get the care and knowledge they need to heal and stay strong!!"

"Great staff and great atmosphere"

"I appreciate the good sessions and feel much better."

"I just finished 6 weeks of therapy following a TKR. My therapist and all of the therapists are beyond excellent!! They made therapy fun, but productive and always took the time to answer all of my questions and concerns. I highly recommend LPT- they are the best!!!"

"Very knowledgeable, friendly staff. Highly recommend!"

"They are always good friendly and super awesome 💯 recommended 👌 thanks guys all of you thanks"

"Great staff and very helpful. I would recommend."

"I came to LMPT because of a referral from Mayo Clinic for my imbalance. Brian is trained in this. I felt very satisfied with my therapy and the explanations I was given explaining what I was doing. I would highly recommend LMPT for any type of physical therapy."

"Had back pain going on for months and Bob was able to do his thing and give me relief. Not only is he good at what he does, he has an awesome personality! Would highly recommend!"

"brian and emily are very good at what they do! very friendly every time & we worked efficiently and effectively to get my shoulder back to health. come here for all your physical therapy needs!"

"Amazing, dedicated, very friendly therapists and staff. Awesome all around!!"

"LeMars Physical Therapy were able to figure out my crystals were out of whack after I had already seen two other health professionals. This is the place to go. They are always willing to answer questions and are kind and knowledgeable. You can exercise for free for 30 days after discharge or pay $25 a month to keep exercising"

"The men and women that work here are absolutely amazing. They are all kind courteous and professional with the perfect touch of humor to keep your mind off the pain ."

"Have worked with Brian and Emily on a ankle and lower leg issue. They have helped me to get back to normal. Good people to work with and a nice facility. I appreciate what they have done for me."

"Have worked with Brian and Emily on a ankle and lower leg issue. They have helped me to get back to normal. Good people to work with and a nice facility. I appreciate what they have done for me. "

"Getting great results with treatment. Will continue all recommendations and hopefully be done with therapy early. Compression wraps are really helpful! Amy has been a blessing!"

"The team at East Village Physical Therapy is the absolute best. From my first appointment I felt treated with respect not just as a patient but as a human being. Dan has worked with me tirelessly to get to the root cause of the foot pain I have been experiencing and I appreciate that he views the body as a system and not just individual parts. Throughout my sessions, I have learned so much about my body and what I can do to get stronger and more stable. This has enabled me to do the things that I enjoy without excruciating pain and for that I am so grateful. Mallory at the desk always greets me with a smile and the kindness and knowledge of this entire team is felt during my entire visit to the office. I know that at the end of each session I am leaving in a better place. And when I graduate from PT I know it will be with the tools I need to maintain the progress I have made."

"This is nice place especially the staff very concern about your recover made you feel home. I love this place very professional therapist and care"

"Great people offered me informative and beneficial therapy. Close location with easy access. Insurance was handled efficiently. THANK YOU!"

"Easy access and close location. Worthwlhile and informative therapy. Friendly staff. Insurance filing was smooth. THANK YOU!"

"Amazing physical therapist! Just with one session I was able to do improvement with my flexion. Everyone there is very friendly and communicates with you very thoroughly. If you're looking for someone to help you out and your time of need after an injury, I would highly recommend them."

"Great job from everybody "

"Brian, Emily and the entire team at Lake Mills Physical Therapy are top notch at what they do. Everyone is incredibly welcoming and professional. It’s clear they have a ton of experience and are focused on your recovery. Highly recommend!"

"Dan Halfman here is such a blessing! During my time as a collegiate athlete I underwent bilateral hip surgeries but 3 years later I was still experiencing a lot of pain in both hips. I had gone to multiple physical therapists over the years and never found relief- until Dan. After only a couple short months of working with him I've found myself pain free and able to enjoy being active again. Every day I see him he not only assesses my pain, but takes the time to find the root cause of it, not just treat the symptoms. His methods were different than anything I have experienced before and definitely work! He is so knowledgeable about all aspects of treatment, anatomy, and will take the time to explain to you why he does what he does. Can't recommend him enough for anyone who has struggled to find good treatment or are just beginning a journey to recovery! Mallory is a great smiling face at the front desk and helped with any questions I had. Between Dan and Daniel it is great to see two smart humans come together to give everyone the best care possible."

"East Village PT was by far my best experience with Physical Therapy to Date. Dan, Dan, and Mallory were welcoming from the start and all were knowledgeable and helpful!"

"Dan at EVPT is awesome! The East Village Spa team trusts him with our employee PT, several of our massage therapists work with Dan. He’s also a source of good, evidence-informed advice for employers (like me!) who want to keep their team safe at work and reduce injuries."

"2 years ago, I went on a backpacking trip and irritated my lower back/hip. I started going to the chiro and getting regular massage to try to work it out. I was improving, but it was very slow going and eventually I hit a plateau. But I was still experiencing a little bit of pain/tightness and it discouraged me from working out. I wanted to get back to the active lifestyle that I used to have, so I finally decided to visit East Village Physical Therapy. Dr. Halfman was great- he listed carefully and asked a lot of questions to pinpoint the source of the pain. Once I started doing the exercises he showed me, I started to see improvements in less than a week. Six weeks later, I am 100% pain free and I have my range of motion back. I've been working out again and feel 10 years younger! Thank you so much Dr. Halfman!"

"Forget the rest; go with the best! I saw Dan Sherman. about six years ago for a number of issues, including knee pain, which he traced back to my hip, and neck pain, which he was able to manipulate to help reduce my pain. When I had hip pain again a couple of years later, I saw a different PT for hip pain, as he had moved on from where I originally saw him. While the pain slowly got better, it never really went away. Fast forward to Fall ’23, and I saw yet another PT for low back pain. While exercises over the next several months did help the initial pain, it aggravated other issues to the point where I couldn’t stand up straight without being in severe pain. This time around, I wasn’t messing around with the others and decided to go back to the best PT I know - Dan Sherman. Within 10 minutes, Dan S. was able to determine my hip didn’t sit in my joint completely and manipulated it to sit correctly. Muscles around the hip were compensating for this, causing the tightness in my low back and hip pain. That night, when I slept, was the first night I didn’t have the pain in that hip I had had for the last four years. Dan S also dry-needled a muscle connected to my hip to help calm it down. While it’s a drive for me to see Dan S., it is absolutely worth it. I will be seeing him for all my physical therapy needs in the future."

"Very friendly and efficient. Successful in achieving range of motion and gaining on strengthening at the 6 week mark. Very happy I chose Okoboji Physical Therapy for my knee rehab. I'll be back in August for the other knee !"

"East Village Physical Therapy is amazing! I have been to other therapists in the past but my experience here is unparalleled. The doctors are geniuses. Mallory at the front desk is so caring and easy to work with (and also a genius) everything in the process from scheduling to insurance was seamless. I used to dread having therapy but they make it fun and most importantly, treated and improved an ankle injury that I thought was doomed.They gave me the knowledge to continue to keep my ankle healthy in the future which is so important. Call them !!"

"All staff is super helpful, knowledgeable,courteous and willing to do everything necessary for recovery. Therapy exercises science based. Post surgery healing from my foot reconstruction with 10 months in compression boot and phases of non weight bearing is a long process. My therapist guided me through each phase of healing eventually walking wirhout a cane or limp. I may not have had the same results without this comprehensive team. Thank you to everyone at East Villiage Physical Therapy."

"Excellent care and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend!"

"I was in a motorcycle accident Aug 2023 and had to go thru emergency trauma surgery for my ankle. When it came time for Physical Therapy I decided LeMars Physical Therapy is the place I wanted to go. I heard good things about them! I was so nervous the first time I went, not knowing what to expect. However I found out very quickly every one of the staff members are super friendly, helpful, patient, kind and make you feel welcomed !! The facility is big, clean and has lots of room to do your session in !!! Jill and Tatum, are the two scheduling ladies I have worked with, they are great with working with you on a time and day which works for you and if for some reason you can not keep that day/time and you call them ahead of time to let them know that, they completely understand and are willing to re-schedule for you. Very helpful ! For Physical Therapy sessions, I have been working with mainly Bob and April thru out the weeks I have been going. Again super friendly, nice, patient, calm individuals. They both have been great explaning things when I have questions. They both have been great on helping re-boost my confidence (that I needed) and getting me walking again...(with no boot on, no crutches, no Walker!!!!) I remember when I first went to LeMars Physical Therapy - Bob was explaining exercises I needed to do to help strengthen my ankle and leg again (since I had not been able to put any weight on my left leg/foot in 2 months) he told me "before you know it, we'll be having you do leg presses" I admit it,,,,,, I thought yeah right, as I looked down at that big boot I had to be wearing and using crutches. Well I'm here to happily report within roughly 2 months of LeMars Physical Therapy I'm doing leg presses ( even single leg press ) and walking on my own with no assistance !!! Each day and each session I get stronger and stronger. I am truely Thankful for the staff at LeMars Physical Therapy !! I would and will recommand them to everyone who needs Physical Therapy !!! Thank you so much to the LeMars Physical Therapy Team, I truely appreciate all of you !!"

"They have been helping me recover so fast ever since my labour injury in August. I have recovered enough to where I’m back on track to barely miss the end of basketball season and be back for track. Thanks LeMars Physcial Therapy"

"I had a great experience at East Village Physical Therapy. I have a frayed labrum in my hip along with bone on bone arthritis and am trying to postpone surgery as long as possible. This was the third place I tried because I was not getting the results I was hoping for at the other places and I am so glad I found this spot!! I made nice progress in both flexibility and range of motion and Dan did a lot of "think outside the box" types of treatments as well which made all of the difference. They were super flexible with appointment times and your time slot is "yours"-there was a ton of individual attention that I did not receive at other places. Dan did not just give me an exercise to do and then walk off to help others. He monitored me for correct form and asked a lot of questions to be sure I was hitting the right muscles. I was able to do both before and after work time slots and they pay for your parking! Most of all, the atmosphere is "fun"...lots of joking around and getting to know everyone in the office..I really looked forward to going! I highly recommend you give either one of "the Dans" a try!"

"Excellent Treatment and Service!!"

"the best people i’ve meet"

"They have always been great with me and I have been there a lot. All the therapist are great. They work with your schedule and go the extra mile when it comes to dealing with insurance and such. Really can’t go wrong with this group. I miss my last therapist as he was only working there as a temp. But Tyler was great.but when it comes down to it. They are all great."

"I can't say enough about this place! I have several friends that have had total knee replacement. I can do more after 11 weeks than they can do after several years. Obviously they went elsewhere. From Dawn to the maestro, Derek, they rule!"

"I was very pleased with my therapy sessions with Amy. She was great and knew exactly how to treat the tendonitis in my arm. Wonderful people to work with."

"Le Mars Physical Therapy was my first experience after a broken bone, and the treatment that’s necessary to heal. I was nervous and scared of the unknown, but the clinic was SO friendly and inviting every appointment I had. My therapist was Logan, and he made even the hardest therapy fun! I would refer ANYONE to this clinic; everyone was amazing, AND my arm is back to normal!"

"Dan H. is the best of the best. Very knowledgeable and personable. He helped me tremendously after breaking my leg and ankle. He is now helping my son with therapy after a sports injury. Go see Dan!"

"I learned so much from Dan S. as a shadow and have been getting my Achilles Tendonitis treated by Dan H. They are friendly, flexible, and treat a variety of injuries in all ages. They offer dry needling and free initial assessments. If you're looking for a physical therapist, I highly recommend these guys in East Village!"

"I have suffered from back and leg pain for the past several years. I have had medical procedures to assist me, but nothing has helped me more than starting physical therapy, specifically with Dan Halfman. Dan helped me really understand my issues by describing the nerves and muscles around the spine and how they interacted with each other, which allowed me to mentally take control of my condition. After sticking to my routine, I almost immediately saw results. I am able to walk a much farther distance, and I now have techniques to implement in my everyday life to help me when my pain strikes. I would and do recommend Dan Halfman and East Village Physical Therapy to anyone I know who is looking for pain relief who can't seem to find it."

"Great experience with Dan, Dan, and Mallory in Des Moines! They are professional, yet personable. I’ve been going for about 3 weeks and I appreciate the results."

"I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Dan the last few months. My pain has been eliminated as we build strength. I enjoy the atmosphere from Mallory at the front desk to my appointments that don’t feel rushed to the fun both doctors have in the clinic. I highly recommend seeking PT here."

"Peaceful, Calming, Non-Judgmental, Amazing place to do your physical therapy. I love that it is quiet and not a noisy place. I have been having therapy with Derek S. and he is a very nice, encouraging, non-judgmental person who gives you positive encouragement during your therapy sessions telling you "you can do this!" This young man was "called" do this profession and is such a kind person. The care coordinator (receptionist/administrative assistant) is such a nice welcoming person as well as the other gal (I don't know her name) but she always says HI when I see her as well. It's like being welcomed by your family! This is such a nice place and I love that they have made it "feel" this way. I appreciate that so much! This is EXACTLY what I was looking for! My first sentence says it all, plus one month later I was feeling encouraged when I was able to accomplish some things Derek requested of me that I couldn't do 6 weeks ago. That told me my therapy was working! I am very appreciative of him and this place! THANK YOU!!"

"Le Mars PT helped me with a foot issue in three weeks that I had been struggling with for over a month. I appreciated their dedication and their persistence to resolve my issue. Thank you for the great service!"

"Dans the man. Genuine concern about seeing results with his practice. Great at explaining and putting things into perspective which allows me to recognize the changes that are necessary in order for me to obtain the results we are working towards. Mallory brings great energy and is very welcoming. By my third visit it felt more like visiting friends rather than an appointment."

"Has by far been the best pt and great people very clean and friendly environment. I just really feel they take the time to understand as well explain what is goin on and the plan to work by. Thanks yall are amazing."

"I was recommended this physical therapist by a friend. The staff, including Mallory are extremely friendly and welcoming. I’ve been seen by Dan Halfman for the past couple of months for some pain, that I’ve been having in my hip previously for the past 9 months. I after MANY attempts with a chiropractor to try and fix the problem, I started seeing Dan. Right away he knew exactly what the problem was, and we started addressing it immediately. He made it very easy to understand the workouts necessary to achieve relief. I’m happy to report that I started having relief within the first week of seeing him and has progressively gotten better since. Last week I reached the summit of my first 14’er mountain hike with no pain. I am beyond thrilled and grateful. I will recommend this office and Dan Halfman to everyone!"

"Dan Halfman has helped me so much over the past several years, including rehab from reverse shoulder surgery, severe pain from bursitis in my hips, therapy to strengthen hip muscles following a tear in my left gluteus medius and several other issues. He is very thorough in explaining what is causing the problem, in language you can relate to, and also how the exercises he recommends will help you to improve. Dan is very knowledgeable, professional, personable and caring. I highly recommend Dan for all your physical therapy needs."

"Spencer Physical Therapy is DEFINITELY a choice you want to make!! The people are so friendly and make you feel at ease! I am so comfortable going there because I know my injury is going to be very well taken care of and my Physical Therpist Amy Marlow is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! She listens and is concerned about how YOU feel! I truly couldn't ask for a more caring and funny gal if I seeked her out on my own! Trust me when I say...Spencer Physical Therapy...is an amazing place to go! You are AWESOME! THANK YOU! !"

"I went to Dan with a nagging hip injury that sidelined my ultramarathon training. I tried other PTs in the area that couldn’t quite pinpoint the source of my problems. He quickly identified the issue and provided a range of personalized techniques to get me back on track. Extremely professional, very talented, and a genuine person. If you are doing any endurance training, I highly recommend keeping Dan front of mind for your PT needs."

"I had a wrist injury and my doctor recommended Amy. She is very knowledgeable and got my wrist back in working condition. Thanks Amy!"

"The East Village PT team did an incredible job to help me recover my hamstring. I’m very glad I was able to find them and will definitely be going back there in the future. I recommend going to this place for anymore trying to heal their body properly !"

"Dan H. Is great to work with! I have been a patient of his for a couple months now after my knee surgery and would definitely recommend him!"

"Dan is wonderful! He has been a valuable resource for my elderly mother after two hip surgeries in a three-month span. He’s kind, generous, patient, and knowledgeable. I’m not sure how we would have managed without his support and expertise. We love Dan and recommend his services."

"Very helpful and excellent therapy!"

"Great service, excellent results. I mean I could going on but like this place!"

"Fantastic care from fantastic people! I would recommend Spencer Physical Therapy to anyone who is in need. They can help with a wide range of needs. I went initially due to shoulder pain where I had a great experiencewith Kelly. I then returned for PT post shoulder surgery with Amy. Amy was amazing! She could read my expressions and me eyes and tell how I was doing. When you spend 2 to 3 days a week for several months haveung a good connection wuth your care provider is important. I had that connection with Amy. Everyone is kind, caring, professional, and felt like friends instead of just my care providers. I graduated from PT a few weeks ago and admit, I miss going. 🙂 Amy and Kelly were just what I needed, and Jeanette did a fantastic job at coordinating my appointments and working around my schedule."

"I had significant arm pain from tennis elbow that had been ongoing for almost 2 years. I went to a number of doctors and such, but they only offered minimal help. Amy was able pin point the true source of the problem and very quickly provide substantial relief. After a month and a half I was done with treatment, pain gone, and have had full use of that arm since. Highly recommend!"

"Great experience at this office! Left feeling better than I did when I walked in, and more importantly, w/the tools to better manage my ailment in the future. Highly recommended!"

"Easy scheduling with staff. Dan, the physical therapist there, made the process easy. I've had two ACL surgeries and have had chronic knee pain for 15+ years. Dan worked with me and created a created a plan, I won't say it was easiest, but my pain is basically gone. I've seen several PTs over the years but would definitely recommend my friends and family to see him."

"One day my hip started to hurt...then it hurt more frequently. I didn't want to gobble pain relievers nor think I was headed directly for surgery, so I Googled "physical therapy offices that take my insurance" and East Village Physical Therapy popped up. That location was perfect for me so I gave them a try. WOW, what a difference a few weeks (& doing what they tell ya to do) can make! Doctor Dan and Mallory were and are wonderfully easy to work with, knowledgeable, and caring. I highly recommend them if you are looking for physical therapy professionals!"

"I had a fractured leg and Dan provided excellent service to help my rehabilitation process. Very easy to communicate with, schedule appointments, and street parking right outside made it easy to arrive while on crutches!"

"This has been excellent experience for me after thoracic back injuries. Ultrasound, gentle massage, exercise n strengthening have helped me over time. Consistent n professional guidance from Dr. and staff have been excellent for my gradual improvement. I know this will take time. I can highly recommend. Thank you"

"Amy is the best therapist I have ever had better than the therapist I had after my cancer surgeries l have lymphedema now and she is great with that l would highly recommend Amy and her team for any therapy Big Thanks"

"I would highly recommend Amy Marlow to anyone in need of therapy, after my own experience following my hand surgery. Her expertise and professionalism is second to none. She genuinely cares about her patients and their outcomes and takes an individualized approach to each treatment session."

"Hands down, Dan is one of the best in and around Des Moines! I was lucky enough to have him put together & implement my PT journey after two surgeries on my foot. He was instrumental in ensuring I could recover in the best way possible to live my busy life as mother of three to the fullest and not have to worry about my foot. I have no doubt in my mind that I would not be where I am at today without Dan at East Village Physical Therapy."

"My experience has been nothing but 100% satisfied with the rehab personnel. Both Amy and Kelly have always given me their total attention when working with me, Always trying to challenge me to get better.. They're Patience Is remarkable.. My progress is good but very slow. I had a stroke 27 months ago. I started at the hospital and was not at all impressed with their rehab personnelat all, I am very lucky that Spencer therapy has such a good staff, Whatever they're paying them, it's not enough. Chuck"

"Le mars physical therapy, help me with my shoulder, great job Erik very professional."

"I would highly recommend Okoboji Physical Therapy! They offer both occupational therapy and physical therapy. Amy is one of the only certified hand therapists in the region and also the best which made it an easy choice to come here after my accident. Everyone down to the owners are well educated, polite and truly care and work hard to get you back better than before. Great place and great people"

"I had rotator cuff surgery on May 26th. I went to a PT company in Omaha 3 times a week. Around June 14th I started Therapy with Amy Marlow. Results with Amy were far superior to my previous PT. I saw immediate relief and progress. I would recommend Amy for anyone that needs PT services. Her knowledge and work is exemplary !"

Very happy with everything that was done for my speedy recovery can't thank you enough."

"Great people. Erik was very thorough and got me back to being top notch! Highly recommend Le Mars PT!"

"Amy Marlowe provided knowledgeable, concerned and thorough care for my issue. Amy was friendly and pleasant at each visit, but also was a great listener and “tuned in” each week to my progress, or continuing problems and adjusted her therapy to my needs. I would highly recommend Amy!"

"I had a very painful rib injury and my family physician recommended physical therapy. I chose LeMars Physical Therapy. My therapist was Erik Nieuwenhuis. We worked on strengthening my upper body muscles and using manipulation to get my ribs moving normally. After 4 weeks of therapy I am pain free. I'm very thankful for LeMars Physical Therapy and Erik."

"LeMars Physical Therapy is an excellent place for PT care. The entire team cares about your well being. Shout out to Eric for all the encouragement. His professional is top notch."

"They are great to work through my limitations and got better range of motion. Love them!!"

"Sara is in the most amazing physical therapist one could ever hope to have. She is extremely knowledgeable, always researching learning new and updated techniques to make it much less stressful for the patients. I have had two knees replaced, and the technique and her expertise in assisting and helping you is second to none. I highly recommend Sara to anyone who would be fortunate enough to be able to go to her clinic. LaVonne Clark"

"Hi. I know Sara. She is very awesome. She helped me out so very much after I had 2 major total hip replacements. I really hurt bad n going to her was Absolutely the greatest thing. Ya at first I was a big baby. But kept going. With her help n others. But mainly her I'm walking on my own now. She's the greatest. If you want help go see her. Love you lady!!!"

"Wonderful PT! Very professional and friendly staff. Sara has been with me through my lower back pain journey and continues to utilize her wealth of knowledge to improve my day to day. With her and her teams help, I’ve been able to avoid costly surgery! Highly recommend!"

"I had a partial knee replacement and I needed further therapy I was referred to Sara. My experience was really good my mobility came a lot farther after I got treatments done by her. The techniques she used helped a lot, stair steps,stretching, ultrasound and many more. I am so glad I went there I wouldn’t be able to bend my knee back as far as I can now. Sara is a very caring person and wants what is best for the patients."

"As a young athlete, I was really in need of some help with strengthening, conditioning, and recovering from an injury. Sara helped me perform better on the court and helped me prevent future injury! I would recommend her to any person wanting to come back from an injury better than how they were before!"

"Sara is great! She is very knowledgeable and so sweet! Sara will get you back to better than you were before your injury! I highly recommend her!"

"I have been a patient of Sara Wiederin on two separate occasions. Most recently, I chose Sara as my therapist after knee replacement surgery. Not only is she knowledgeable and professional, she’s also easy to talk to and share a laugh with when appropriate. Both men and women are comfortable with Sara and respond well to therapy with her. Unquestionably, she will always be my choice for physical therapy."

"Sara Wiederin is a wonderful physical therapist! She has helped with my recovery after knee replacement surgery and foot surgery. She uses a hands on approach with tissue massage to get everything moving. This technique really helps to loosen things up before starting to do the therapy exercises. I have been to other physical therapist and didn't get the results that I got with Sara! She does a great job of catering the physical therapy to meet your particular needs. I would highly recommend, Sara Wiederin, for any physical therapy that you might need."

"I brought my daughter in to LeMars Physical Therapy, she met with Eric for 6 weeks. I was very impressed with how well he worked with her. Very happy with our experience, highly recommend anyone going here."

"Highly recommended. Very kind and conscientious group of people. They work as a team to achieve your goals of optimal health. Personally worked with Eric and Bob. Thumbs up!"

"I had a great experience with my therapy, they helped me recover from my surgery. Thank You."

"I was referred to Spencer Physical Therapy following a car accident. Amy was very knowledgeable and caring. At each treatment she genuinely cared about my progress and regressions, and found a different approach to the issue until I felt at my baseline. I would definitely recommend this clinic to anyone in need of therapy services!"

"Very good place knowledgeable people in Friendly my shoulder is very good now thank you Danielle and the others"

"Very friendly and knowledgeable."

"I am privileged to write this for Okoboji Physical therapy. I chose Okoboji Physical Therapy because it is close to where I live. I was not familiar with staff, however quickly formed a trust & rapport with Sara Wiederin my therapist. I was referred for therapy for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. Sara was open & honest, & clear from the beginning about a vision & plan for my therapy. She was great about establishing goals & altering them as I progressed. She was always positive, & helped me emotionally & mentally as well to deal with my limitations. If I had any questions or concerns, Sara explained things & made me feels so comfortable. She was compassionate, encouraging, & personally cared. Even though my pain didn't completely go away, it did lesson. Therapy also improved my strength, flexibility, coordination, & balance. I greatly recommend Okoboji Physical Therapy for their high quality of service, & no doubt will return to them for any future therapy needs. Kathi P"

"My husband had rotator cuff repair in Omaha and we wanted to recuperate at the lake. We found Okoboji Physical Therapy and were happy we did. The staff are all so friendly and Amy is an experienced and talented professional."

"I highly recommend Okoboji Physical Therapy. I was sent to PT by my neurologist in Sioux City for numbness in both hands and feet that came on suddenly. Walking was very difficult as I felt I was walking on rocks; my fingers were numb and anything I touched felt harsh and unnatural. Sara was awesome at listening, teaching, and guiding me through PT. I went twice a week for about three weeks, did my home exercises faithfully - and gradually the feeling came back to my hands and feet with only a remnant of tingling remaining in my left foot. Sara said to call or email anytime and she will continue to give advice. It was such a relief to have Sara walk beside me through this scary circumstance and guide me back to healthy mobility. THANK YOU SO MUCH!"

"I just love going here. They are amazing and treat u like family. So much to offer on any kind of physical therapy you need."

"I had knee replacement on May 7, started PT at another facility. The philosophy used there wasn’t a good fit for me... a friend told me about Okoboji Physical Therapy. On June 11th I started therapy with Sara Wiederin, and she became my saving grace! She massages prior to exercise and the first day I reached the degree of bending on my own that the day before I had my leg pushed into achieving that degree with excruciating pain!!! My whole world changed!! I have achieved my 120 degrees and her methods are amazing and work extremely well....Sara is also correcting my lower back problems as a result of my surgery.... I am now looking forward to getting my second knee done when I know I will not black out because of pain. Sara is extremely caring, highly educated, very knowledgeable and an absolute joy to work with! I tell everyone I know about Okoboji and Spencer Physical Therapy. Every person employed in those 2 offices are very friendly and helpful and a joy to work with! LaVonne Clark"

"They were great at helping me get back to work in a short amount of time"

"This group of women ALL have incredible skills to offer! As a former John Thomas patient, I continued on with Spencer Physical Therapy because I was very confident in the care I would receive after meeting the staff and owner. I have received help in recovering from work related injuries, falls, auto accidents and now I am thrilled to be able to be under the care of Mandi Ward for chronic pain. For years, I have lived with pain believing I had to. I was deceived into believing that this was as good as I could expect to feel having been diagnosed with degenerative disc disease, osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia. Mandi is the only certified pain therapist in Northwest Iowa and I am so grateful to be under her care! I had been receiving post-surgery therapy for my hip and considering seeking help through a pain management doctor when I learned what Mandi had to offer and scheduled with her! What Mandi has taught and revealed to me has been life changing! I recommend her program to anyone who wants to learn the truth and be free from the chains of pain!"

"Absolutely should be your first stop for any injury or follow-up therapy after surgery! Caring staff that listened to what I needed and followed through with therapy and education for my situation. Highly recommended! Sara is the best!"

"I have nothing but good things to say about Okoboji Physical Therapy and the people who work there. I had been dealing with lower back pain for almost 2 years with no solution in sight and even considering surgery. As a last stitched effort, I went in to see Sara and she worked wonders. Sara is very knowledgeable and very patient. She worked on me for a couple of sessions and already saw significant improvement. The staff is very friendly and really cares about the people they help. I would highly recommend Okoboji Physical Therapy!"

"I have worked with a few different ladies here and each one has helped me manage my pain and taught me how to do things without overdoing it. This is the best group of women to let work on you. They listen and they only go as far as you can handle."

"The ladies here at Spencer physical therapy are all amazing. They help without pushing to far. They take the time to listen to you and work with you on how to manage your pain while getting strength and mobility back into the affected limb or limbs. I want to say thank you to a group of amazing women."

"Sara is very knowledgeable and provided a gentle hands on approach that was tailored just for my rehab needs. She genuinely cares and provides a comfort as well as positive results. I must say the entire team was very friendly and I would not go anywhere else."

"I was So Lucky to be sent to see Amy for my work related injury....She was so encouraging and supportive before, during and after my surgery...
