What Our Clients Are Saying “I am no Annika Sorenstam or teenage Michelle Wie, not even an aging Nancy Lopez. But I am a golfer with a very bad back for 15 years. My story is simple, finding relief was not. 15 years and 5 different therapists. Now I am finally getting the help I need at PTC. The therapist determined what the problem was and treated the problem, not the symptoms. They offer hands-on treatment techniques and stretching, strengthening and sport specific training so I can resume my passion. Three weeks ago I could not golf. Now I have been hitting golf balls for a week and I will play a tournament next week. PTC is the place to go for therapy!” —F.D. View All Testimonials
