I came to Plymouth Physical Therapy Specialists, formerly PT in Motion, following surgery for a broken leg (femur fracture). Dave was great! He assessed my condition at our initial meeting, and continued to modify the therapy in accordance with how I was doing. Hes an expert in the McKenzie Method, and clearly knows his stuff!! I truly believe that I made a quicker recovery due to the individualized treatment plan and care that I received from Dave and his staff.

Recently, I finished a course of treatment with Plymouth Physical Therapy/Ann Arbor, and I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience. Starting with Denise at the front desk, she was so efficient and kind when making my appointments and taking care of all my insurance matters. She left me with nothing to worry about.Then there was my therapist, David Oliver. David was THE BEST. His expertise as a PT was very apparent from my first encounter with him. You can tell that he loves his work and would like nothing more than to make you feel better. Daves care for his patients is totally individualized. While you are working with him, he has constant visual contact with you, making sure you understand his instructions and are able to follow them correctly. He is always right there to help. You are HIS PATIENT and you can trust him to take good care of you. It doesnt hurt that he is very funny and has a delightful British accent.Dave is also an expert in the McKenzie Method of therapy for which I sought him out. Even though I had to drive a substantial distance to be treated by Dave, I would do it again in a heartbeat, if I needed his help. Because of Dave I havent had to take pain meds for my back in weeks.Thank You Dave, for your care and concern and for giving me the tools to carry on with what you taught me

Gagandeep is very attentive and methodical in her approach to physical therapy. From the time I started seeing her, Ive seen substantive improvements in my achilles pain. Would highly recommend Plymouth Physical Therapy!

Fantastic place for physical therapy, came in and was explained what my month-old back injury likely was, and how it was causing all my pain. Left my first appointment with home exercises that I utilized throughout the next week which made a significant improvement, and came back for more appointments where I did core strengthening exercises and was given some to do at home daily too. It changed my approach to dealing with my back pain, and I think it really sped up the healing process as I had been in quite a bit of discomfort, pain, and muscle spasm for a few weeks and now Im doing so much better. Highly recommend!

I have had 2 excellent experiences with Physical Therapy in Motion. My son came here after foot surgery and I was so impressed with his treatment and therapy program that when I needed therapy for my shoulder I drove right over. Dave did a thorough assessment and evaluation of my shoulder and then we started. Over my time here I have increased range of motion, no more shoulder pain while sleeping and increased strength. Both Dave and Brian have answered my questions and helped me to learn more about the shoulder joint and what to do to continue to keep that joint moving well and the muscles around it strong now that my therapy sessions are completed. I recommend them highly. Thanks so much!

Second time going through therapy there (for a different reason) and am so very pleased with David’s expertise. He’s what you expect a true professional to be: he listens to and addresses your concerns every time without claiming that he knows it all. A wonderful clinician.

Everyone is friendly and trying to help. Dave is very knowledgeable, professional and patient. It is a small practice so you can definitely feel you are getting all the attention needed.

PT in Motion is a comfortable, friendly environment with all equipment available for assigned exercises after an evaluation of physical limitations and referral documents. David, the physical therapist is educated and trained in the McKenzie Method of treatment. He observed and provided personalized direction at every visit. I needed strength for an injury to my right shoulder and wrist plus for discomfort in my left leg. I became stronger with exercises done at the studio and at home. They worked easily with my insurances. When I require physical therapy again I will return to PT in Motion.

I highly recommend Physical Therapy in Motion and David Oliver. I had complications three years ago with my foot and he showed me how to do some exercises that really helped me. This time I was having issues with my neck and terrible headaches. Again, David came to my rescue and has helped me manage my pain. It feels so good to have control of my body without any pills or medications. David Oliver listens to me and I feel that he is very attentive, very educated in his field, thoughtful and responsive. He explains and uses words that I can understand as to what is causing my discomfort, pain and how I can fix this. The office is very friendly and clean. I would recommend anybody to Physical Therapy in Motion.

Intelligent, kind, caring, and friendly are the therapists and staff. I had my left hip replaced recently and they tailored an exercise, stretching, and strengthening program to get me back doing the activities I enjoy. They sanitize diligently and follow the COVID guidelines.

I highly recommend Physical Therapy in Motion and David Oliver. I had complications with my total knee replacement and David has helped me through it. He has been very attentive, thoughtful and responsive. He is very knowledgable and I have appreciated his expertise and professionalism as I work through a difficult recovery.

David Oliver is a knowledgeable practitioner in treatment of injuries and how to treat them non surgically. Excellent results and caring atmosphere, this is helpful when one arrives in pain and with some treatment and dedicated time in PT one will leaves with a smile. It takes a team and some work to get to feeling better. David has the goal to get you back to your normal life after an injury.

I would highly recommend the physical therapy services of this facility. It has a wide range of excellent equipment, and countless small devices and items for aiding the healing of muscles. ligaments, tendons, joints, and damaged nerves. Principal David Oliver takes a deep interest in each patient, bringing his great knowledge and long experience to bear with enthusiasm and good humor, thereby achieving maximum recovery. Why would you go anywhere else?

See this guy first - gotta be one of the best. Great personable manner, and clearly an expert in his field. Solved my issue in 5 sessions, when no one else had been able to for 3.5 years. Yeah, this guy!

I’m seen David a few times over the years for neck issues. Both times he was able to fix the problem in a relatively short amount of time. The clinic is a great central location and I felt safe attending during a pandemic. I highly recommend Physical Therapy in Motion!

I suffered a traumatic injury to my ankle earlier this year in January. I had to get surgery, got 2 plates and 6 screws. I first had a difficult time finding a place to go to for PT due to covid. When I called my insurance, they told me about Physical Therapy in Motion. I started PT in April and recently finished. Dave has helped me tremendously. It felt great to see that I was actually regaining strength and stability back in my left ankle. It was especially exciting when I was able to start doing jumps. Still plenty of work I need to do, but thanks to Dave I can do these exercises on my own at home now. --Plus, you can have good/interesting conversations with the guy too!

From start to finish Physical Therapy in Motion was 5+ stars! All the staff are helpful, considerate and top notch at their skills. Scheduling appointments and dealing with insurance issues was hassle free, as the patient. Description of the PT process and goals was customized, clear and direct. PT management was helpful and led to independence at the end. I strongly recommend Dave and his whole team for your PT needs!

I had an issue with shoulder range of motion, getting so bad I could not reach behind me without severe pain and swimming was problematic. David Oliver solved a back and knee problem for me in the past so there was no question I would return to see what he could do for my shoulder. I appreciate how David continually re-evaluates the efficacy of everything he does so he can adjust the approach constantly to get better results faster. I now have a full range of motion in that shoulder, with strength, and without pain. My advice is never give up an activity or capability due to pain until you give David a chance to evaluate you and treat you. I can row when once I thought back pain would end that. I can run when once I thought knee pain had ended that for good. And I can swim when once I thought shoulder pain would limit that. I owe David a lot. Hes a superb professional and genuinely devoted to caring for his patients.

This was the best and most successful treatment Ive ever experienced. Ive been having a back pain after some injury for over 20 years, went to a few well known physical therapy places of a large hospital and didnt have result I was hoping for. At Physical Therapy In Motion Dave gave me totally different program which after 2 month helped me tremendously. I continue his recommendation with exercises at home now. Thank you, Dave.I highly recommend this office.

After a month-long slowly-progressing back injury this summer, I awoke one morning barely able to move or walk and spent the next two days in bed. A professional massage helped a little, and two chiropractic sessions ended up not actually doing anything for the pain or improving the issue. A friend suggested PT and recommended this place. I could not be more grateful to have found them! My first appointment with Dave was thorough and I felt like he was really trying to understand everything about the injury so he could put together a very specialized plan. We tried a few different stretches and I went home with some light stretches to do every few hours. The second session he fine-tuned what was working with what wasnt, and eased me into some strength and conditioning workouts. Each session thereafter built upon the strengthening, and each week there was SIGNIFICANT improvement in my back recovery. I was there in total nine weeks, and in that time went from being nearly immobile to a point where Id be comfortable playing a soccer game at full speed. His small team there is super friendly and professional...I really enjoyed my sessions and am looking forward to continuing applying what I learned and doing my exercises at my local gym. Thanks, Dave!

The physical therapy was fine, but they wouldnt tell me how much each session would cost until weeks after I first went, when I received a bill for about three times as much as I expected to pay! I absolutely would not recommend them unless you understand and accept the cost up front. The therapy I received wasnt worth anything near what I paid.

Review №25

After years of living with pain and achiness in my back and hip, I agreed to go to physical therapy one more time. Im now 2 months out from my 20 sessions with David, and I have to say, Im still pain free. David has a remarkable, keen ability to evaluate, clarify and create an effective individualized program that makes sense. Taking an active role throughout each session has allowed me to incorporate the program throughout my daily life now. In addition, PT In Motion is a delightful place to rehabilitate. Along with David, the staff are such wonderful people. The kindness and support from Matt, Cindy, and Cathy continue to encourage me . Without hesitation, I would return if needed.

I had a fantastic experience at Physical Therapy in Motion. After spending a month at a different therapist and seeing no improvement I came here because of the Mackenzie specialization as a last ditch effort to avoid surgery. David assessed my pain and listened to my concerns and I began to see amazing improvement within days. Im extremely happy with my treatment.

I can honestly say that PT In Motion is extremely GOOD at this thing called physical therapy. Because I had previously been to another physical therapy chain, I had something to compare PT In Motion with. The other physical therapy place had juices and breakfast bars and music and ... all types of things that dont get your body from point A to point B. Dave and his staff are compassionate, knowledgeable and work hard to make the therapy help YOU. Dave actually has SHOCKED me with his immense knowledge of how your muscles work with each other, when I came in one day and COULD NOT, NO WAY do this specific exercise...so Dave says, well do this other exercise, and I LITERALLY could then do the exercise that I came in the door saying, NO WAY can I do this today!!! I have had to go to physical therapy for knees AND shoulder during 2016 (that ended up going into 2017) and every time I chose PT In Motion because they are just that GOOD. I usually dont write reviews, but this place deserves not just a great review, but some sort of award! The entire staff from the entrance to all the therapists are just genuine, good-hearted people who do everything they can to get you better. Following their advice, REALLY helps your progress... I am living proof. PT In Motion is Number 1 in my book!

I was diagnosed with pinched nerve in my neck by the doctor. During my initial visit David confirmed my condition and applied a treatment plan. I did simple exercises and stretches at home, and his entire staff was helpful while I learned new things each week. At the end of my treatment, I was stronger and more flexible than ever, and had much more knowledge about how my body works.My only advice is to make the assigned exercises as habitual as brushing your teeth. Dont resist; he is only there to help!

I am a med-student with a damaged lower back and I can honestly verify that this facility is the epitome of ethics and professionalism. The diagnosis was purely observational and followed what I guess to be McKenzie protocol (Certified McKenzie facility). The rehabilitation process and treatment plan was very well designed and had me back on my legs within weeks. All I can say is that if you ever need a physical therapy and are willing to place your health at the manipulation of a PT then this is the place. I traveled 50 mins twice a week just to attend my session and feel zero regrets. David and Matt are just beyond description!God bless this place and I hope they open many more branches that sustain that quality of patient care!

David Oliver is THE BEST Physical Therapist I have ever had for any of my injuries through out my lifetime. I am very active and there always seems to be some physical ailment I need to address. This time I asked for PT to keep up my shoulder strength and in the first visit David determined it was shoulder pain caused by a neck issue, which no one else diagnosed. His diagnosis was spot on and within a few visits, my pain was mostly gone and now I am working on building strength. A couple days ago was the first time in years I was completely pain free....no kidding!!! How liberating! I cannot thank David and his staff enough.

This place is amazing! I was sent to them by my doctor for reoccurring back trouble. David was incredibly through in my initial examination and helped relieve my back pain after my first visit. He really listened to me and my situation and tailored treatment for my schedule and lifestyle. He gave me exercises to do at home that were easy and very helpful. When working with him, he used techniques that not only assisted with my back but helped increase my overall strength. When I had ankle surgery and needed PT again, I went back to Physical Therapy in Motion because I knew they would get me back to my normal level of activity in no time!

Review №38

I recommend Physical Therapy in Motion to everyone! I have had three different issues over the last couple of years - frozen shoulder, tennis elbow and plantar fasciitis. David is incredibly skilled at ferreting out the real cause of difficulties. Frozen shoulder turned out to be a neck problem that was quickly resolved with his expertise, tennis elbow was actually the elbow joint not seating properly and fixed in no time with the appropriate exercise. I am currently in treatment for what had been diagnosed as plantar fasciitis, but since the pain is atypical for that condition, I am confident David will have it figured out in no time. He is in high demand lecturing around the country on the Mackenzie Method. The entire staff is personable and attentive. Its like a big family there. I cannot say enough good things about them and am so happy I found them.
