Patient Reviews

  This was my first time ever using physical therapy. I had several visits and worked with Erica and Tom. I had great results and got exercises to do at home. The people are so friendly and helpful-no pressure, no shaming. And, everybody knows your name!

  My PT, Allan, was great. He explained what was going on with my injury, what movements to avoid, and an array of exercises to help resolve the issue. The front office staff was also excellent!!

  Move Better is great - organized, kind, compassionate, and skilled. At one point I had an issue that wasn't making progress due to other health setbacks, and I was extremely frustrated. My therapist was so incredibly encouraging and understanding. Being incapacitated is discouraging, especially when you are an active person. Soft skills really are not just nice-to-haves, they are essential. Move Better also appears to be extremely well-managed practice. For context, I recently had occasion to go to another practice. The therapists there were also very good, but I got the sense that the management didn't give them enough time to complete paperwork. My plan of care and the development of a home exercise program at the other practice was chaotic at best. I don't blame the therapists, but I do blame the management. Management does affect care. Excellent management makes a huge difference, and Move Better has that too. To the management: don't ever change except if it's to make your physical therapists happy at work, to offer an encouraging work atmosphere, so they have emotional bandwidth to continue to encourage and provide excellent care for their patients.

  I highly recommend Rodney Madagan and the team at Move Better Physical Therapy. He and the clinicians are excellent not only in their rehabilitative techniques and advice, but also in their care and concern for their clients. I went to him after having been told at another therapy site that I would likely not recover much more than the 30% use of my hand after an injury from a fall, but Rodney and the staff members were encouraging from the first visit and continued to be so throughout therapy so that I gained almost full use of my hand again. The office staff is also kind, helpful and organized. I am so grateful we have such caring people in our community. Having to go to therapy can be a frightening experience if one hasn’t encountered it previously, but this group greets clients with hope, care and encouragement and even some humor which, of course, always helps.

  I wanted to say Thank You Tom, Carla, Chad, Lindsey, & everyone at Move Better PT. I couldn’t imagine myself anywhere else. If u need PT in c’ville - this is the best place. Great equipment, awesome space & great private rooms. They always have mints & are great at being flexible. Never had a problem! Easy parking & always a smile!
