Dr. Waters provided invaluable insight and evaluation of my lumbar and cervical spine limitations and ranges of motion, which will be included in a VA disability evaluation request. She reviewed past surgical procedures and physical therapy sessions/results in offering her overall assessment. I've encountered numerous physical therapists over the decades of spinal difficulties and surgeries. She is, by far, the best I've had!
Frederick , Sep 11I am very pleased with Movement X and my PT Katie is outstanding. Extremely professional and really listens. Her work to understand the issue has enabled her to address and provide relief for issues I was told would remain long term.
Tony, Sep 16Katie is the best! She is attentive and listens to everything I am saying. The exercises are not just routine PT but rather tailored to my specific pain or needs and my movement goals. I would recommend working with Katie if you need physical therapy.
Austin , Sep 18MovementX and Katie Waters have helped my mom so much! Mom broke her ankle last year. It left her in a wheelchair. She was active before she broke her ankle. At first, she went to a local Physical Therapy office. They seemed more interested in helping young athletes. She had to navigate around a team of teen basketball players. We were surprised when the physical therapist dismissed her eight weeks early and right before his vacation. She was still on a walker. Now that Katie's been working with my mom, she is off her walker and going to the bathroom alone for the first time in over a year. She is getting stronger. Katie has been so patient, working with my mom at her own pace so she can get better. Thank you!
