I cannot say enough great things about Cash and the team at Sports and Ortho! Even after our initial meeting, they remembered all my injuries and everything we had gone over. I immediately felt welcomed and cared for. They create personalized treatment programs and individualized care– they really get to know you on a personal level. I looked forward to my weekly appointments, and each week I saw continued improvements! After “graduating” from the program several months ago, I am still pain-free and symptom-free! They provided me with at-home strengthening exercises that were incredibly helpful! I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone and everyone!” - Taylor K.
