“My experience at APT changed my life considerably. I progressed from having pain almost constantly during my waking hours to only having pain when I was tired. The exercises I learned are helping me strengthen my core, but the dry needling has been wonderful in reducing my pain. Matt has helped me change my attitude about my condition: I will never be pain free due to the degeneration in my back, but the exercises and the even-up device Matt recommended for my shoe have certainly helped reduce the pain. I would recommend APT based on my experience. Everyone there seems genuinely interested in their patients.” - Marilyn G.
