The Physical Therapy Center of Erie

I brought my daughter Avi to the Physical Therapy Center of Erie after she started experiencing back pain from cheerleading. Ann was incredibly patient and took the time to explain everything in a way Avi could easily understand. She was friendly and professional, making us both feel at ease. Ann also provided helpful exercises that have already made a difference. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for attentive and knowledgeable care!

I've worked with many PT's over the years and Ann is one of a kind. She takes time to listen to your concerns before her thorough evaluation. It's obvious Ann truly wants the best possible outcomes for her patients. Her clinic is warm and welcoming. Ann helped me quickly resolve two different issues using unique exercises and a hands on approach. I highly recommend Ann and her clinic.

I went in for a slipped disk and was trying to get more strength in my core to support my spine more. Ann was very knowledgeable in how to help me exercise without aggravating the injury. I could tell she enjoys helping people and is consistently checking in to see how I was doing throughout the session. She's very personable and puts people at ease. I fully recommend her and while I hope to never need her services again, she'd be my first choice for a PT in the future!

I reached out to Ann after having a poor PT experience elsewhere- one that led to more pain instead of less. Ann worked me into her schedule because she could tell how much pain I was experiencing. She had empathy and took my concerns seriously. She started slowly and met me where I was. At the beginning of every session she reassessed my symptoms to decided what would add most value to our time together, adding in different modalities and thinking outside the box. This was not a scripted treatment plan nor the same routine every session! She has also created a comfortable environment, is enjoyable to work with, and truly cares about the outcome of her patients. I strongly recommend PTC of Erie!

This place has been amazing! Ann has been helping me recover after breaking my shoulder snowboarding a few months ago. Not only has she been clearly very competent at this, she’s been hyper attentive and responsive to my other needs. I’ve been struggling with hip issues and in the 6 or so weeks we’ve been working together I’ve seen improvements in both my shoulder and my hip, and my quality of life has gone up. She prescribes exactly the movements I need each visit and makes sure I understand what I need to feel and where. My recovery has been faster and more pleasant with her expertise and I will always call her first with PT needs!

Ann Kramer is amazing! She has helped our daughter through a shoulder injury as well as recover from knee surgery. She is incredibly knowledgeable and knows how to connect with her patients. I could not recommend her enough.

Ann is phenomenal!! She has been rehabbing my knee for three months after a difficult ACL and meniscus surgery. I am confident I would not be able to walk without her help - and my surgeon agrees. I've worked with many physical therapists but never anyone as knowledgeable, proactive and empathetic as Ann. During my first session post-surgery, I was in so much pain I was in tears the entire time, yet Ann was so compassionate and patient that she was still able to accomplish what we needed to do. She always knows when something is wrong vs. when I can push through. She has even identified real medical issues, such as when I had to get my knee aspirated. When my pain was excruciating and I couldn't drive, she came to my home. I'm also dealing with an unrelated Achilles injury which she has addressed during our sessions just to be kind and relieve my pain, even though it's out of scope. Her creative rehab program has allowed me to make incredibly fast progress and has kept me interested in the exercises so I follow through. I look forward to our sessions because she's very encouraging, keeps meticulous notes my progress and is so nice to chat with! I also appreciate how efficiently she runs her business. When I researched PTs before surgery, Ann was the only in-network PT to answer immediately and got me scheduled for several weeks. She's dealt with insurance and paperwork headaches, has super easy scheduling and payment systems and handles everything herself as a small business owner so you never end up lost in the shuffle of a big practice. You don't come across this level of professionalism often anymore. If you have to do PT, Ann is absolutely the best of the best!!!

I’m not kidding, within 15 minutes I had more valuable insight into what would support me from a lifetimes worth of ways I’ve held my body than any other PT I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen many! Not only that, but Ann’s place is so open, bright, and yet comforting. Ann herself is brilliant while down to earth and insanely helpful. Long story short… You’ll get a lot of insight in no time and walk away with a greater understating of what your body needs and how to tend to it.
