The therapists at evolution are fantastic! For the better part of two decades I suffered from multiple, painful shoulder dislocations and after shoulder stabilization surgery earlier this year, I started six months worth of pt rehabilitation work at Evolution. I initially met with Cindy who is extremely knowledgeable. She explained every aspect of the rehab process, suggested helpful breathing exercises which alleviated my anxiety, and worked with me one-on-one twice a week for one month. When I had to change my schedule due to work, she hand-picked another therapist, Drew, to take over. Drew was amazing. I improved so much with him! He was extremely thorough, knowledgeable and attentive which made feel very secure. Drew also took time outside of our sessions to think about what additional exercises I could be doing as a I kept improving. I appreciate that he incorporated exercises to strengthen my back and stabilize my core in addition to focusing on the shoulder range of motion and strength exercises. He went above and beyond. Now I have near 100% range of motion plus plenty of strength to resume a regular workout routine. I am so thankful!!

Great experience getting treatment for sciatica from a herniated disc. Clem keeps it interesting and manages a good balance between challenging you so you continue to improve and keeping you safe. She kept it very interesting and gave me a lot more ideas on home exercises than I have ever gotten from another PT. I think that will make my lifelong routines more productive. Evolution schedules you in much more quickly than other centers. Weekend appointments are a nice bonus; they helped me schedule around work since I had to go to PT so frequently.

I have been coming to Evolution Therapy since my back surgery six months ago. My former Therapists was too busy to take, so researched numerus therapists in my area and concluded the Evolution would be the most suitable for me. I was correct as my Therapists Clem, is very professional, knowledgeable, companionate and friendly. She keeps me on my toes with new and changing exercises that help strengthen my core and balance. All I can say is that at my age it's a long and arduous journey.

Not often compelled to write a review these days but I've been going to Evolution PT for a few months now for two separate injuries and the folks there are really amazing. Started after back surgery and added a neck injury to the list of things I needed help with. Both conditions have improved greatly. My therapist, Clem, is fantastic: very attentive, knowledgeable and I can feel her rooting for me which goes a long way when you're on recovery road. I actually look forward to going not only because I know I'm getting better each time but the environment they create there is truly nice. If I could just figure out my next injury, I could justify continuing after these other two get sorted....which they definitely are.

Evolution is a well organized but most importantly, the Physical Therapists - at least the one assigned to me, Doug - really know their stuff. I'm very pleased with the progress that I have made in only a couple weeks. The assistants (Jay for me) are very helpful as well. In addition, all involved in the running of Evolution - including the receptionists, and the scheduler - are very friendly, helping make recovery from surgery (total knee replacement) a relatively good time. :)

Andrew is a thoughtful, intuitive and easy to work with physical therapist. He listens and figures out a plan to directly address an issue. I had a hip replacement and he had me back on the tennis court, swimming and dancing within 6 weeks. I was finished with PT by 4 months and my hip feels great.

Clemence Lefebvre at Evolution Physical Therapy Center is exceptional. She tailors training to fit the precise needs of her clients and takes care to give clients exercises they can do at home, often with the help of video links. I have never experienced training like the what Clem delivers, every time. She is also very helpful in dealing with pain post hip surgery and knows precisely how to help clients feel better. She gives motivation and energy to her clients and is ever cheerful. I am so thankful to have Clemence Lefebvre as my physical therapist!! I have never known someone so dedicated to her clients!

I’ve been going to Evolution Physical Therapy 4 times a week for 2 1/2 months to treat two different injuries. My first injury has plagued me for 6yrs of disability, has been treated by a plethora of doctors, braces, 2 prior physical therapists, and rib resection surgery. For this, I’ve seen primarily Drew, and he’s been amazing! Despite still having a way to go, I’ve had incredible advancement. For my more recent ankle injury, I’ve seen Phil, and he’s put me through the paces. With his help, I’ve already gone from being unable to walk my dog to hiking. I still have some work to do before I’m good to run and do the SM stairs, but I’m close. They are both quite attentive, really enjoy working with patients and the other staff, all of whom seem to like their jobs and working with patients. Given my dramatic improvement, I’d strongly recommend Evolution PT.
