The Jackson Clinics

I have just started to come here and the staff is extremely nice and helpful. The therapist kept it real with me about getting better. I have a weird injury that rarely happens to others and not sure how long it will take to get better. I was told it will probably be a month with me coming two times a week.

I have been to other physical therapy clinics in the past, and the Jackson Clinics (Merrifield) stands out among all. The staff is professional, caring and friendly. Stephen has been the PT in charge of my rehab from knee surgery. The plan he created after a thorough assessment has shown great results. He also listens to you and adapts if indicated. I have also been treated by Tanya and Melanie and couldn’t be more pleased with them as well. Everyone seems to work so well as part of a team effort. The facility is spotless and reminder calls and emails helpful as well. I really can’t exaggerate my positive opinion of this facility.

I have had the unfortunate problem of having 3 different injuries requiring treatment in the past year. All 3 Physical Therapists I saw at Jackson Clinic were helpful, knowledgable, and kind. They accepted my insurance, which makes them a great value

My experience at couldn’t be more different from Holly M.‘s. I’m not an «athlete» but I’m a very active person — I typically walk 2 – 3 miles 4 times a week, I go country-​western dancing weekly (two-​three hours on the dance floor), garden, play tennis and otherwise keep busy. I’m in my forties and have had a problem with my right leg for twenty plus years.
As such I’ve been in and out of numerous other physical therapy centers. When I was referred to Kris it was to be fitted with orthotics. First he put me through the most thorough examination I’ve ever had of my lower torso. He measured range of motion, position and other things. I learned more about myself during these sessions than I had ever learned before.
At each session Kris evaluated my progress, worked with me on issues that occurred between sessions and discuss further treatment. My sessions with Kris were never less than 30 minutes and often 45 minutes.
Then he turned me over to a trainer with whom he’d gone over my exercise plan in great detail (in front of me). Most importantly, he never really stopped watching me. As I would be doing something all of a sudden Kris would be there pointing out some issue.
Kris did a phenomenal job fitting me for orthotics. In fact, since I wear cowboy boots most of the time — he had me bring pairs in and we chose one to send to the facility that made the devices so they would fit my boots well.
Two months since my last visit, I’m in great shape. My legs don’t hurt, cramp or cause me any issues. For the first time in a long time, I ‘spring’ out of bed in the morning without pain, can go up and down stairs without a hot bath and warm up stretches, I’ve started back walking (and pushing a lawn mower around an acre plus of grass) and am going two stepping for the first time in six months this Saturday night.
Thanks to Kris and the staff at the Jackson Clinics!

I worked with Kris after having shoulder surgery to repair a torn labrum that I dislocated playing basketball.
Kris is an expert when it comes to shoulder injuries. Not only did he come up with a comprehensive plan to rehabilitate my shoulder without re injuring it, he also spent a lot of time going through what I should be doing at home. Kris was always re-​evaluating my treatment and treated the other muscles in my back that were not «firing» properly after my surgery.
The Jackson Clinics are set up as a team format. You spend half an hour 1 on 1 with your therapist and then half an hour with Jonah (or one of the other assistants). Jonah was also very helpful and knowledgeable and the system worked extremely well for my injury.
I would recommend Kris and Jonah to family and friends.

I am not an athlete like the person below, so maybe my experience is just different, but I would recommend this place if you need general physical therapy.
I fractured my ankle while running and was nagged into going to physical therapy by my doctor. My therapist, Kris, did a very thorough evaluation on me during my first appointment. Not only was he concerned with strengthening my ankle after having been in a cast for 6 weeks, he wanted to diagnose the cause of the fracture and make sure it didn’t happen again. According to him, my fracture was in a very strange place so he was determined to figure out what exactly caused it.
I’ve been going 2x a week for about 4 – 5 weeks, and Kris is focusing on strengthening/​stabilizing everything that could lead to an ankle injury — this means exercises for my lower back, hips, and butt. I appreciate that he didn’t just fix the most obvious problem and has worked hard to make sure I don’t keep re-​injuring myself because of other instability or misalignment.
I do get passed off to other people, sometimes another therapist, sometimes an assistant, but everyone is perfectly capable and nice and it’s not like Kris disappears — he checks in and makes sure everything is going well.
On a side note, their reception staff is also very nice. Karla (I think) not only remembers your name but also when your appointments are, and they send out helpful email reminders beforehand. It’s an extra bonus.
Maybe this place isn’t the best for intense athletic rehab (I have no way of knowing) but for issues such as mine, I would absolutely recommend it.
