Progressive Physical Therapy and Rehab

I have been dealing with lower back pain for years. I have been to numerous doctors and numerous physical therapists but nothing has ever worked for me long-​term. That is until now. I went to Dr. Safman at Newport Orthopedics and she sent me specifically to Michael McKindley at Progressive for SI joint and disc issues. I was skeptical because of my previous experiences with physical therapy, but agreed to give it a go. This physical therapy facility is different from any that I have visited in the past. I knew on my first visit that this was going to be different. Not only is everybody who works there professional, friendly and encouraging but the amazing results make rating Progressive Physical Therapy at the highest rating, easy. I can’t thank Michael and Christian enough for changing my life.

Brought my 75 year old mother-​in-​law with back and knee pain to see Jennifer last year, and over the following nine months Jennifer helped her tremendously. Jennifer and her team slowly introduced many great exercises that Mom could actually do, worked with us to make sure we could help Mom do them at home, and even had Mom see a knee surgeon once things didn’t improve at the rate she was hoping (and the surgeon made the exact diagnosis Jennifer had predicted). Mom has some memory issues, and Jennifer and the whole staff were patient and wonderful with her.
Scheduling appointments was incredibly easy. I’ve worked with multiple other PTs in the area, and Progressive has by far the most availability on short term notice. A few times we had to change appointments only a day or two in advance, and they always found room for Mom in their schedule. Billing was relaxed and easy.
Nothing but great things to say about the entire staff there!

Progressive Physical Therapy is awesome! I was in a lot of pain and dizzy, major neck and shoulder issues and Michael McKindley was awesome. I’m leaving pain free. Also the staff is awesome. Everyone is so kind, fun and accommodating. Great place to be. Thank you Michael and staff.

The whole Progressive team is fantastic! This has been my second home for almost a year as Laurie’s care and expertise, aided by a fun and helpful staff, have nursed me back to health through a dislocated shoulder and pre– and post-​surgery recovery. Many are intimidated by physical therapy, but here the atmosphere is always positive and welcoming. I felt so comforted in the detailed attention paid to my progress along the way. Laurie, Jennifer, and the team always provided honest and helpful advice and encouragement. Thank you so much guys! I highly recommend Progressive to those needing all stages of PT.

Michael is an expert at fixing SI joint issues. My orthopedic doctor referred me to him a few years back and he has been fixing me ever since that time. I am a runner and «overdoer» in my 50’s so Michael puts my SI joint back in place. He develops a therapy program to get the joint stable again which will hold it until I do something stupid again.
I am now working with a trainer at the facility to enhance my core stability and keep me on track.
This office has a great team of people that are upbeat, positive and encouraging. I almost hate it when I am all better because I miss the «good vibes».
I have been to other places where the employees are just going through the motions but this place the whole staff really cares about the patients.

«Glad to be back» probably isn’t the correct phrasing, but I’m a huge fan of the new space! Office is clean and inviting. Lots of light. Equipment is state-​of-​the-​art. Convenient location, lots of parking.
When all my spinning, running, surfing, power yoga-​ing, 24-​hour fitting, skiing, and general OCD-​workout regimen (see reviews of local boutique workout establishments) leads me to the inevitable chronic overuse injury, there is no one I trust more than Michael, Jennifer, and the rest of the team at Progressive.
They really know their stuff! Great friendly staff and quality personal attention. They take their time diagnosing you and let you know exactly what the treatment plan is and how they think you are progressing during and after each session.
I’ve recovered from a number of chronic injuries thanks to the professionals at Progressive. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to get me back in the game after an injury (pun intended).
