I had a great experience working with Simone for an ankle sprain recovery! All of the staff were great and it was super easy to schedule my appointments and check in/out every time. I highly recommend Rising Sun Physical therapy for injury recovery!

Simone is super friendly and helpful. She quickly diagnosed where my issues were coming from and developed a comprehensive plan of home exercises that evolved over the course of our time working together to get me back to my normal activity levels. The office is very communicative and organized. It was a great experience!

Simone is a gem, no kidding. Very accepting of my circumstances and very positive AND patient coming up with and retooling my exercise program.
