Des Moines - East Village Physical Therapy

I had a wonderful experience as a patient here! It was very easy to schedule an initial appointment, and they got me in within a week. While parking in the East Village can sometimes be annoying, I never had troubles finding a spot, and they pay for your street parking! Dan gave me great tools and guidance for at home work, he explains everything very thoroughly. Hopefully I don’t need PT in the future, but if I do I’ll definitely be returning here!

I highly recommend EV Physical Therapy!! Daniel Sherman is an excellent physical therapist; he takes time to thoroughly access your needs and cares about helping you feel better. I saw him over a course of three months for strain in my lower back/hip, and he helped me through various exercises as well as dry needling to alleviate the pain. He is very knowledgeable and makes sure to educate you about your pain/injury, and what you can do outside of his practice to progress. I gradually got better and the pain has gone away- hopefully for good! He says he’ll be your therapist for life even after you’ve graduated from sessions. Thank you, Dan!!!

Dan and EVPT is amazing! He was super welcoming and made the idea of physical therapy (for my 11yr old son)something he actually looked forward to. Dan did a great job making him feel comfortable and explaining what he was going to do and how it would help. He is pain free and back to playing baseball. Thank you, Dan!!

Daniel Sherman is fantastic! I’ve struggled with knee problems for 30 years and in all that time have rarely encountered a dr who truly listened until I started with Dan. He responds to my questions with a wealth of knowledge. He acknowledges my fears are valid, and built a treatment plan WITH me based on my goals. I look forward to our appointments and feel the effects working everyday. For the first time in a very, very long time I feel significantly less pain, my stability continues to increase, and I’m actually excited for events that require steps, walking, and long periods of standing. I highly recommend East Village Physical Therapy! Update: I made it to Red Rocks! 10.5 hours in the car, walking across uneven terrain, cabin camping, and walking up and down countless steps at high elevation, PAIN FREE! I thought these dreams could never come true. Standing at the top of those mountains, realizing all the steps it took to get there, that my dreams had actually come true… I can’t express my joy in those moments and I *know* it was only possible because of my Physical Therapy sessions with Dan!

The interior space is cool and has a relaxed atmosphere. The employees are friendly. Dan is a phenomenal physical therapist. He identified the source of my pain, helped alleviate the problem, and coached me through strengthening the muscles. My favorite part of Physical Therapy was the muscle scraping. This released so much pain in my leg. Thank you Dan.

Claire is the best! East Village PT is a welcoming environment and I feel a lot stronger and more mobile in my workouts and runs.

East Village Physical Therapy is amazing! I have been to other therapists in the past but my experience here is unparalleled. The doctors are geniuses. Mallory at the front desk is so caring and easy to work with (and also a genius) everything in the process from scheduling to insurance was seamless. I used to dread having therapy but they make it fun and most importantly, treated and improved an ankle injury that I thought was doomed.They gave me the knowledge to continue to keep my ankle healthy in the future which is so important. Call them !!

The team at East Village Physical Therapy is the absolute best. From my first appointment I felt treated with respect not just as a patient but as a human being. Dan has worked with me tirelessly to get to the root cause of the foot pain I have been experiencing and I appreciate that he views the body as a system and not just individual parts. Throughout my sessions, I have learned so much about my body and what I can do to get stronger and more stable. This has enabled me to do the things that I enjoy without excruciating pain and for that I am so grateful. Mallory at the desk always greets me with a smile and the kindness and knowledge of this entire team is felt during my entire visit to the office. I know that at the end of each session I am leaving in a better place. And when I graduate from PT I know it will be with the tools I need to maintain the progress I have made.
