Howard Knudsen, PT

I have been nothing but impressed with Dr. Knudsen. He is very knowledgeable, kind and spends one on one time with you EACH visit. The privacy the facility offers is therapeutic, and always clean making recovery more comfortable.

I've only started my rehabilitation with Dr Knudsen but I am already feeling so much better. I have had chronic neck pain for 10 years. He spent an hour and a half assessing me on my first visit. I was impressed with how long he was willing to spend with me to figure it out. He worked some areas of my back, head and neck and immediately my pain was gone. I appreciate that he has machines for me to use right in his office that can rehabilitate my neck and back to strengthen them. I am excited to see the progress over the coming weeks!

I had been struggling with debilitating back pain for about a year and a half. Every doctor said that the pain I was experiencing was incurable and I would continue to have this pain for the rest of my life. I was 21 at the time. During this time, it was very painful to walk, run, sit, stand, or lay down. I could not play any sports or participate in any physical activity without my back being in excruciating pain. I tried a chiropractor, but to my avail he was useless and had no idea how to help me. When I met Dr. Knudsen, I was extremely skeptical at first, but as I came into his office, he took the time to really listen to my concerns and was the first person to tell me what was actually wrong with my back and together we made a plan for recovery. It took a few months of seeing Dr. K to regain my strength and for him to fix my muscles, but I am happy to say that I have my life back, pain free. I am so glad I found Dr. K and I gladly recommend him to all my friends. If you are currently in the frustrating position that I was in and have lost hope, know that you have finally found what you are looking for when it comes to not just managing back pain, but completely obliterating it!

Before meeting Dr. Knudsen, I had pretty much given up on physical therapy and medical doctors in general. I had had right shoulder pain for three 3 years already, and even after seeing multiple orthopedics, pain specialists, and physical therapists in multiple states during that time, I had received zero relief to my pain. MRIs and other diagnostic tests yielded nothing. In fact, physical therapy with other therapists only made the pain worse. I was extremely frustrated. I was passed around specialist to specialist, and I felt that none of the 'medical professionals' had any idea what was going on, let alone that they cared about my pain at all. Dr. Knudsen approached the pain differently. He uses unique methods, far different from other physical therapists, who just give you standard stretching and strengthening exercises. He had my pain levels cut in half within a month, and then rather than keep charging me to come back over and over again, he taught me how to manage that pain on my own and how to keep working towards becoming pain free. After following the regimen he gave me, I was able to become pain free once again, something I had nearly stopped believing was possible. When I tore my hamstring playing football this year, I knew the only physical therapist I wanted to help me recover. I am currently doing therapy at Dr. Knudsen's office again, and I have been reminded of how impressed I am with his knowledge and skill.

In July 2016 I severely pulled my groin during athletics. His 17 years of practicing physical therapy really made the difference. My treatment sessions were always timely, no wait time like most doctor's offices. His PT assistants were very professional. I regularly recommend him.
