Athletic Training

Lucas A.

My entire experience with Bridle Trails PT has been excellent! I went to BTPT because I felt a pain in my knee whenever I went running. This pain started while I was playing basketball and progressively got worst.

Rod M.

I lived with a damaged knee until the pain became so severe that it interfered with my ability to perform everyday activities. I couldn’t bend my knee to put on my shoes and socks. When I was unable to run for myself playing softball, it was time to do something about it. I decided to try physical therapy.

Ashley B.

I Just wanted to say again thank you! I have been so frustrated the past few months not being able to workout and do yoga. I had no idea what was going on and how to fix it! My outlook has been turned around and you have given me the knowledge to make it better!

Jordan T.

I was a Junior in High School, preparing the week before for the State Track Meet. I had qualified in the shot put and discus. As a teammate and I were taking throws, I still don’t know what happened, but something happened during my spin in my practice throw. I injured my foot.
