I don’t love having injuries but I love getting better with James Fowler & co. For at least ten years, I’ve taken my aches and pains to Fowler’s practice and have always come away pain-free and feeling stronger and more knowledgeable about how to stay out of trouble. The atmosphere is one of respect for clients that extends to every member of the staff, from therapists and trainers to schedulers and billing experts. I recommend them without reservation.

I was struggling with severe TMJ/TMD pain for months to the point where I could barely eat. My options from a TMJ specialist were extremely expensive and scary — the cheapest being a $1700 device with monthly $200 visits, the scariest and most expensive being jaw reconstruction surgery. However, he also recommended physical therapy for my posture and TMJ. He recommended Jeremy at James Fowler, and Jeremy changed my life. He was very kind, accommodating, and realistic about expectations. It was always the highlight of my day to go to physical therapy and see him. I recommended him to a coworker and she had the same experience. After several months, I am MUCH improved. I am not 100% pain free, but at least 80%, and I have many exercises and skills I learned from Jeremy for when the pain flares up. I would whole heartedly recommend Jeremy to anyone needing a physical therapist, but especially for jaw and neck pain. I wish I could still go see him every week because he has such a positive presence 🙂 it was also very easy to schedule for the entire month at times that were convenient for my work schedule. The facility is really nice and all the staff are very friendly and helpful.

Here's my starting point: James Fowler is a GREAT physical therapist. Not good, not very good. GREAT.I have a case of severe lower back stenosis, and for the past four years he's kept me from having to face what everyone dreads: back surgery. Not only that, my symptoms have eased noticeably.This April (4/29/21) I needed a knee replacement, and faced the usual lengthy rehab. Well, I finished it last week, and James again proved to me what a wonder he is. He knows everything there is to know about the human body, but what sets him apart (he's not my first PT) is his ability to come up with a Plan B and a Plan C and a Plan D as needed. You see, the cookie cutter approach is not the way to go in PT. Each rehab is unique; there's no one way to rehab a knee replacement, or keep a chronic back condition under control. Things change. Always.And the great (there's that word again) PT knows when to adjust. When the swelling in my knee wasn't lessening as James wanted, which can happen (darn that randomness of life!), off I went to the other side of his office for lymphatic system massages. Boy, did they do the trick. Claire, his massage therapist, is a gem, and after the sessions with her I was on my way.And it's not just James. His Trainer assistants are all winners, making sure we are doing our exercises the right way and explaining the do's and don'ts in ways that any patient can understand. His space is a safe haven, a place of expertise and encouragement. Heck, we go there because our bodies aren't working, and that is always unsettling, to say the least. But James steers us clear of what he calls the Disaster Narrative that's lurking in all our heads. He's the oasis of calm in the swirling world of worries (and pain) that besiege us. Simply, he's a good guy.And a GREAT physical therapist!

I've been using message therapy sessions with Claire for Lymphatic Drainage and Noriko for a Massage. I had been going elsewhere for these types of treatments however, it looks like I'll be staying here! Claire helped me understand how lymphatic drainage could help my new health goals and I feel the difference after each session. Noriko's massages help aid my recovery time from dance and running activities and I'm so thankful for this! Being that this location is a Physical Therapy office you walk into a world where the team is constantly working with individuals through movement training and recovery. I like walking in and seeing how others are working towards becoming better versions of themselves. It inspires me!
