What our patients are saying:
"Just wanted to give you an update … all is well with me. I do anything I want w/o any restrictions, lift anything I think I can lift w/o any fear of hurting my back, etc.Hike, bike, swim, dive off the dock, run chainsaws, split wood, etc. Not bad for someone who will be 67 in less than 2 months!
To think that the Orthopedic Surgeon (in November) wanted to remove a disc based on the damage he saw in the MRI, and with your guidance and PT, I was whole again in only two months! No surgery, no shots, no medication! (Even though 2 months seemed like forever at the time, that is real short in the scheme of things).
Of course, I continued the exercises throughout my busy Tax Season, and have been very active physically since Tax Season ended.
I Thank You again for your help in making me whole again, it is so nice to have the freedom to do whatever you want!"

"When I first visited Jim I could not walk, lie on my back or move much. 3-4 weeks later totally pain free-now a year later still pain free and true believer in the McKenzie Method and James Tarsi-
If you want personal attention and a great diagnosis followed by smart treatment James is your man"

"Jim Tarsi of Individual Physical Therapy Solutions was recommended to me by one of my CrossFit coaches (who is a chiropractor himself). While I have had back & sciatic pain since I was a teenager (I’m pushing 70 now), I was having severe back pain with a new lower leg pain and tingling. I was extremely uncomfortable, movement-impaired, and quite fearful that this was permanent.
Jim worked patiently with me and even recommended an excellent doctor for my second spinal cortisone shot after I had some difficulty with the first. Jim educated me as to what was happening with my back, what would happen as we progressed with exercise treatment, and encouraged me to have near-complete recovery as a goal.
I’m now progressing nicely in CrossFit, plus doing 2-3 home/apt. workouts per week using Jim’s recommended exercises and stretches. I’m getting more exercise than before and feeling strong again. Occasional back soreness is "back to normal" and I no longer have any pain or tingling at all in left calf or foot.
Jim, thanks so much for what you've done for me. I hadn't thought I'd ever be back to where I am now, but here I am!"
