What our patients are saying:
“Eric offered me a unique and specialized approach to my healing. He took the time to listen, evaluate and understand me and provided a comprehensive plan that gave me phenomenal results. I have recommended him to family and friends and will continue to do so. If you’re looking for an exclusive and elevated approach for manual physical therapy, Eric is the one!”
“Eric is one in a million: Bright, yet humble. Skilled, yet inquisitive. He is focused, detailed, positive, and dedicated. Eric brilliantly treated my pain while he simultaneously respected and educated me. Hands down, you will leave your PT session with Eric feeling not only healthier, but happier too!”
“Since I retired 8 years ago, I have wanted to begin to travel more. It’s everyone’s dream except for me it became very difficult due to increased back and leg muscle pain and tightness when traveling and limited ability to walk. Imagine having to choose the one activity your body could handle for the day while on vacation while the rest of your family goes for hikes, plays sports, walks on the beach etc. My children are disappointed when I can’t join them and try to choose other activities that don’t involve as much movement. As a mother, I encourage them to enjoy the activities they really want to do and I will enjoy “reading my book”. Now I say to myself “Enough of that excuse”.
I have suffered for more than 30 years with extreme muscle tightness and accompanying pain finally diagnosed as fibromyalgia and myofascial muscle pain dysfunction syndrome. Along my path I experienced numerous operations such as breast cancer surgery with chemo, total hip replacement from osteoarthritis and a spinal discectomy back surgery from spinal stenosis/lumbar spondylitis leaving me with chronic back pain with sciatica. You name it I’ve tried it to relieve the pain: over the counter pain meds, heat, ice, special pillows, special hand held massagers, weighted blankets, therapeutic massage, chiropractic manipulations, exercise, pain patches and pain relief injections. I’ve gone to physical therapy over the past 6 years to help relieve my pain and increase my ability to walk without a cane for a longer period of time.
During the past year I found Eric Keene, I was initially impressed with all of his education and credentials. As I began to work with him I experienced his wealth of knowledge, caring nature and ability first hand to really integrate relief for some of my pain in his whole body functional approach to treatment. Needless to say, I have recommended him to many friends who have difficult to treat medical issues. They have been equally pleased with his treatment! I now have more confidence in my ability to walk a mile in my neighborhood with friends as I used to. Someone finally really listens and understands my body, how it works well and what it needs to improve! That person who has helped me so much and continues to do so is Eric Keene. I feel like my prayers have been answered!”
“After struggling for years with debilitating neck and shoulder pain, after seeing countless doctors, specialists, and other physical therapists, I saw Eric on a recommendation from a friend, and it was one of the best decisions of my life. At first I was skeptical, thinking he wouldn’t be able to tell me anything dozens of other medical professionals already hadn’t. However, I was impressed when, during the initial evaluation, we focused on some areas so many others had ignored. His knowledge and experience allowed him to identify the root of my issues everyone else had overlooked. After a lot of patience, persistence, and faith, Eric guided me to a recovery that neither I nor my doctors thought was possible. Although there were times I had my doubts, Eric reassured me we were going in the right direction to give me the confidence to keep following the plan. I had resolved myself to being in pain the rest of my life, but now I can confidently say I am back to 100%. As a long-time endurance athlete, it felt great to get back to doing what I love to do after being sidelined for so long with no solution in sight. Eric helped me get my life back. He truly is a cut above the rest, and I would not hesitate to seek his services again or recommend him to a friend.”
“Eric is a wealth of knowledge yet he remains friendly and approachable. I’ve worked him for my elbow, neck, and foot and I’ve gotten great results each time. I trust Eric and am grateful for his help. I recommend him to anyone in need of a great PT.”
