Patient Testimonials

★★★★★

I went to Capital Physical Therapy and Fitness for therapy after a Chiari Malformation Decompression Surgery. Basically removal of part of my C1 and 3mm of my skull. I started roughly 7 weeks after the surgery and knew immediately I would continue to see Matt even after my therapy to help me reach my fitness goals as well. The staff Ashley and Rita were always pleasant and helpful constantly sanitizing the gym area. Matt is knowledgeable and very good about explaining your specific issue, how you're going to fix it and your over all goals. Once you've sat down with him and created a health goal he will give the encouragement and tools needed to achieve your goal. I can't recommend this place enough and I've had physical therapy many times with many other people and Matt is the bast by far.

Capital Physical Therapy and Fitness in my opinion is a rare gem that is hard to find in our valley. I have been to other Outpatient Physical Therapy Clinic before and I am impressed on the set up of this new clinic. CPTAF is outstanding not only that the goal is to get you better with the least amount of time, but also to encourage a healthier lifestyle. Win! Win! Matt Taylor, the owner is humble, outstanding, passionate and knowledgeable of his craft. Rarely will you find a Doctor of Physical Therapy and an Athletic Coach rolled into one. The staff are amazing and very friendly and carefully selected I believe. I have had very good experience with Matt’s services, especially the wonderful gym class workouts in the morning! It is a lot of fun! The group of men who workout there are outstanding too!

Matt and his team do an amazing job. I had the opportunity to visit with two separate injuries last year. For my shoulder I was able to complete the treatment sooner than expected and finished pain free and with full range of motion.
Later in the year Matt helped me on some chronic plantar issues that I’ve dealt with for years. I finished that course much improved and I was delighted with the progress. I’ve tried twice before with other therapists and didn’t get any long term relief. Matt is awesome.

I am a daily walker who developed severe hip pain that brought me to tears. Matt was able to treat my pain with a series of exercises to strengthen my hip and RELIEVE the pain so I could resume activity. As a therapist, Matt carefully listened to my symptoms and put a plan together with the goal to get me back in action with fewer visits than traditional clinics. He also treated my mother’s vertigo with vestibular rehabilitation therapy in only two visits. She said the correction to her vertigo was remarkable. Do not hesitate to visit Capital Physical Therapy and Fitness. Parking is right at the door, and the staff is friendly and ready to assist you.

Capital City Physical Therapy and Fitness is a wonderful place with the friendliest and most helpful staff members. The weekday morning (never in a million years did I think I would be one of those people who wakes up at 5am to workout) exercise group has given me the friendships and accountability I need to continue in my goals of physical health. The gym is well equipped and thoroughly cleaned throughout the day. I cannot recommend CPTAF enough.

I recently came to Matt (Phys. Therapist at Capital PT) with a nagging knee injury that had limited my running capacity to less than a mile. I told him where the pain was occurring, and within 10 minutes Matt had given me 2 muscle strengthening exercises that I could do at home. Within 3 weeks, I am now able to run at 100% capacity from before injury with NO pain and have increased my run length to nearly 3 miles. This guy is a great PT and has your best interest in mind with every conversation. Thanks Matt and Capital PT!!!

Ryan

★★★★★

I learned about CPTF through my job. My husband and my son both needed physical therapy for different reasons. It only took a few visits for my son to be back to himself and double his knee strength. My husband is still a work in progress but is coming along great with Matt's help. I needed a place where I could work out that wasn't as intimidating as a popular gym.I have never worked out in a gym so i didn't even know where to start. I found a trainer, Mara, who is FABULOUS. She helps me so much! Give them a call if you want a clean, friendly and knowledgeable place to get your mind and body right!!!!

When I was given a referral to Capital Physical Therapy and Fitness I was desperate to get better. I had two major surgeries a year prior on my heart and chest at Cleveland Clinic. The surgeries went well but for some unexplained reason I had lost my sense of balance and suffered from terrible dizzy spells. Cleveland clinic was not able to help me fully and they didn’t understand the nature of my suffering. The operation and the condition I have made my situation rather delicate and difficult to comprehend and address.

The team at Capital PT&F are the only people who have been able to help me in any capacity. I tried everything prior. I went to the ear nose and throat doctor, the ER numerous times, returned to Cleveland, met with a psychiatrist, got massages, went to the chiropractor, cardiac rehab and even tried holistic healing to find someone who can help me regain my balance and end the suffering. I was in a deplorable state but I was willing to try anything to get better.

I am happy to share with you that this facility and team are the only people who have helped me achieve results. I am doing challenging vestibular exercises and lifting weights again and they are helping with the dizziness and the off balanced-ness I had thought would never go away. It’s literally been the only helpful thing I’ve done to get results. With my current trajectory it would appear that I should even return to my previous state before surgery like the doctors at Cleveland had initially thought. I had also regained my ability to walk great distances. In the beginning it was difficult to get off the couch and go to the restroom. Now after PT I walk for two hours if I am so inclined.

This is the only hope I’ve been given in a years worth of suffering and recovery. You just have to show up and try your best with the plan of care that has been given to you and trust the process. If you’re anything like me, you will see results and get better. I am entirely indebted to this team of hardworking attentive individuals.
