Real results from our physical therapy patients

"Dr. Mike, Farren, and the whole team at Steady State are INCREDIBLE! Great communicators, extremely knowledgeable, and fun to work with. I went from being unable to run more than 10 minutes without pain to running for longer and faster than I had been before my injury. Even more importantly, I left my sessions with a plan that I can stick to so I can be an even more durable runner in the seasons to come. If endurance exercise is important to you, consider Steady State appointments a worthy investment!

"I have been working with Kelton virtually for a few weeks after being injured for over a year. I've worked with sports med docs and a local PT for over a year and made almost no progress. After just a few weeks of working with Kelton virtually and being consistent with our exercises, I had my first pain free run in months. Kelton is amazing at listening, making suggestions, but also collaborating and really asking me what I think my body needs. It's a refreshing change of pace from the usual dismissiveness we get in today's healthcare field, particularly as a woman. Cannot recommend Kelton and the team at Steady State enough if you're a runner who is injured or even for pre-hab to help prevent injury!"

"Dr. Brown has been so patient and informative to me, being my first time ever seeing a physical therapist and self taught runner. I am so glad I decided to come to Steady State. After 3 weeks I have learned so much more about my body and how to keep it healthy and injury free. I’m stronger and more resilient than ever. 10/10"

"I started seeing Mike a few weeks ago for a strained muscle and it has been the best PT experience of my life. He’s been incredibly thoughtful about my recovery plan and once I started feeling better he created a strength program for me to be proactive moving forward. The best part is that you’re 1:1 with your PT the whole appointment at Steady State, they don’t go off to check in on other patients while you’re there. 11/10 would recommend.

"Working with Steady State has been a really positive experience! I am 1.5 months into my journey, tending to some recurring running injuries that I never fully understood before, with the help of Dr. Robyn Waugh. I wish I had started working with Steady State when my issues first arose (almost 3 years ago now). Even this early, I can tell that Robyn and I are addressing my weaknesses and imbalances. It's incredibly empowering to feel stronger, learn more about my body, and work towards my goals with Robyn's help! I look forward to seeing Robyn and Farren at each visit, and everyone at the practice is so nice and welcoming.
