“THE BEST PHYS I CAL THERAPY OF F I CE” “This is the best physical therapy office I have been to, and I’ve been to my fair share. Chris is a fantastic PT. Not only does he know his anatomy, but he also is just plain fun to be around. Chris is helping me to get my knee stronger, and it is working!” - Elizabeth C. “ YOU ARE I N GOOD HANDS AT VERT ! ” “I don’t knowwhat I would do without the expertise and care from the staff at Vert.
