Empowered Physical Therapy

I can't recommend Empowered Physical Therapy highly enough! From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by their commitment to patient care and overall wellness. The team is always available to help answer questions or provide guidance, offering flexible hours that accommodate even the busiest schedules. Perfect for those of us who are busy professionals. Their focus on strength and recovery is truly unparalleled. They are dedicated not just to getting you back to health and activity (addressing what immediately ails you), but also ensuring long-term longevity. Whether you're recovering from an injury or looking to enhance your physical performance, Empowered Physical Therapy is the place to be. Their personalized approach and supportive environment have made a significant difference in my journey towards getting back on the bike and addressing my physical longevity off the bike.

I’ve been coming to Empowered for over a year, and I’ve felt so strong within my dance and performance career. I’m never in pain anymore, and I’m really able to test the limits of my strength and mobility confidently knowing I am capable. Most importantly, I have never met people more passionate about what they do, and I have cultivated amazing relationships with everyone there.

Most people think that skydiving injuries come from the parachute not working, but these folks might be surprised to know that quite a few more injuries come from the parachute opening too fast (complete malfunctions are extremely rare). My parachute opened a little too fast. This is how I got to know the crew at Empowered PT. I live an active lifestyle. I skydive, snowboard, backpack, do CrossFit nearly every day. I require a lot of my body. My Physical Therapist, Dr. Kristin Wright, has not only helped me return to normal, but surpass it. I am stronger than ever, setting new PRs at the gym, healing past injuries, and gaining a deeper understanding of my body. I'm also learning to pack softer openings.

I can't thank Dr. Joe Straws enough for the personal, attentive, informative, professional and thorough care he provided me over the past month! As a professional singer and athletic person, my rehab needs were intense and specific, and he tackled the needs of my shoulder, hand/wrist trauma and post-ops with the utmost care and PT tools that made me feel noticeably better with each visit! Thank you, Dr. Joe for for getting me back on stage and feeling and moving better than I thought possible in such a short time!

After trying numerous methods to improve my mobility and strength, including working with mobility specialists, chiropractors, and practicing yoga, I found little success. However, since beginning sessions with Empowered, I've experienced a significant transformation. I now approach weightlifting with confidence, deepen my yoga practice, and push my body to new limits. With each appointment, I learn techniques to enhance my athletic performance.

I entered Empowered Physical Therapy with a shoulder injury due to a skiing accident. I met with Dr Joe and he’s been an absolute godsend! My shoulder is not only better, but stronger and more flexible. Once we realized we were going forward with that, we started working on lower/upper body strength for not only a greater skiing experience, but life in general! I can’t speak highly enough for both Dr Joe, but the entire EMPOWERED TEAM! Thank you 😊

I came in to Empowered Physical Therapy with torn cartilage in my hip hoping that I wouldn’t need to have surgery. Dr. Kristin Wright helped me right away, offering comprehensive therapies to strengthen my muscles and alleviate pain. Though I couldn’t avoid the surgery, she supported me and got me stronger as I prepared for surgery, and helped me get back on my feet, quite literally, as I recovered after surgery. She continues to tailor therapies for me as I regain my ability to become athletic again at 52. I always feel uplifted when I walk into the practice, and I am encouraged every step of the way. I feel known, valued and cared for by this team of professionals— so much so that I’ve referred a loved one who has a neurological movement disorder to them. Now he’s receiving the excellent care that I have been privileged to enjoy. I highly, highly recommended this practice.

I cannot recommend Empowered Physical Therapy enough! I have been working through shin splints and hip impingement issues with Kristin this past year and she has been incredibly patient, compassionate, and supportive through the whole process. For a long time, I was convinced that I would never be able to run or squat again without pain, but with Kristin's support and guidance I have been proven wrong. The quality of life that I have regained this past year is indescribable, and for that I am forever grateful.
