Beautiful new space! Michele the owner was so kind and compassionate. Jenn was fantastic! Professional, very personable, loads of experience and knowledge. She did an excellent job with my hip replacement recovery. The entire experience made me feel like a human being, not another number. The work Jenn did with me was extremely helpful in overcoming pain and stiffness that I have been having since my surgery.

I really like these people! I have had to partake in PT twice for separate injuries and both times went to Spirit Winds from a Dr. recommendation. I'm so glad I did. The first time I worked with Michelle who was very kind, patient, knowledgeable and hands on. She gave informative and useful explanations, worked with me on every exercise and gave me easy to use pages to take home to continue with the exercises. The second injury I worked with both Michelle and Jen and had the same very positive experience. I really liked how they worked with me and didn't just throw me on a piece of equipment and walk away. They monitored me the whole time so I would heal and not hurt myself. I would go back to Spirt Winds for any injury any time. They are very good at what they do and very personable and knowledgeable.

Love the atmosphere at Spirit Winds, and a special "shout out" to Laird, my physical therapist! He's so full of knowledge, easy to talk to, friendly, and has strong hands! I actually look forward to my sessions! Thank you, Spirit Winds...and to Gail who was very organized in my scheduling!

A Raving review for Spirit Winds Physical Therapy! I've had PT elsewhere in SLO and the difference is night and day. First, all three therapists (Laird, Michelle and Sarah) use a hands on approach, manual manipulation. You will FEEL the difference! They are extremely knowledgeable, experienced and intuitive! They spend about 30 minutes with you- which is non-existent in our area. After or before your session they offer heat, ice or laser. So, not only is the treatment the BEST I've experienced but the people (Front office and therapists) care about YOU! I feel genuinely taken care of. Plus the extra time allows a therapist to listen, diagnose and build rapport between patient and therapist. I can't thank them enough nor give them higher PRAISE. So thankful for their help!

Feeling good is easy when I have support, and guidance on how to release pain and tension in my body. My goal is to heal from hip surgery and walk with ease and balance. When I went to Spirit Winds Physical Therapy for an appointment the pain level that I experienced was at a "10." I could hardly walk. Both during and after my session, my pain level lowered to a "3" and continues to lower because of my new awareness of a chronic holding pattern. My gratitude grows with each visit to the staff at Spirit Winds Physical Therapy. Pain relief is possible and sustainable with the treatments that I received from Spirit Winds Physical Therapy. Thank goodness!

Spirit Winds was a Godsend! I had a fall that worsened my arthritic hip joint and my chronic neck pain. I am a former dance teacher, and know my body better than most people my age. I first was referred to a local physical therapy business that employs lots of recent PT graduates. They were friendly, but they gave me the same exercises over and over again until both areas hurt more than when we started. So I asked around and Spirit Winds was recommended by two different friends. My doctor was willing to refer me to them, and what an amazing difference there was!! I was lucky enough to be given to Michele, and to get assigned to Sarah when Michele was unavailable. Both are experienced in several different modalities, asked and listened to me about my body and how it was feeling, and then used their wisdom to decide which modalities to use that day. They spent twice as much time with me, educated me about my body, and gave me exercises to do in between sessions that really helped me feel better and stronger! I highly recommend Spirit Winds to everyone!!!

Whelp, I broke my elbow riding my bike. Hurt like a mother. Limited mobility, tons of pain, blah blah blah... I found Spirit Winds Physical Therapy through a recommendation (and my insurance was accepted). I was given Laird as my therapist and mother of god he was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. His knowledge, gentle hand, kindness, thoroughness, and true care has helped me graduate with almost full flexibility. I honestly haven't had such an amazing and fabulous PT experience than I did with Laird. Thank you to the Spirit Winds team and especially, my hero Laird, for helping me feel better than human again. 5-Star recommendation without question!

I am coming to Spirit Winds for repairing my shoulder tendons. Eileen is doing a terrific job helping me with exercise and focusing on specific muscles to strengthen while injured tissues heal. She is so personable and caring.

I had a fantastic experience at Spirit Winds Physical Therapy and highly recommend them for your PT needs. After working with Eileen and Laird, I increased the range of motion in my shoulder by more than 30 degrees and am able to reach behind my back without issues. I can lap swim, golf, and feel like I have my life back! The first words that come to my mind when I think of Spirit Winds are "compassionate and caring." The staff at Spirit Winds are all very friendly, professional, and invested in your progress. You are not a cog in a large corporate PT wheel. Thank you Spirit Winds!

The ladies here are amazing. I've been living with chronic lower back pain for years. They worked with me and gave me stretches to help control the pain, and stretch what needed it. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this facility. Highly recommend for PT.

I have seen Laird Reeds for the past few months for my neck issues. I went in with tingling and numb hands and fingers, and left feeling fantastic. I have been to other PT offices where they tell you what to do, walk away and return in time to check you out. Laird is with you 100% of the time, explains how and why he has me do certain therapies, and when you leave you feel awesome. He is professional, thorough and very knowledgeable of his profession. Thank you Laird.

Spirit Winds Physical Therapy is an outstanding place to go to improve all levels of physical well being. Psychologically, I have felt supported and empowered to increase my flexibility and strength. The therapist are knowledgeable, resourceful and kind. When I started going to Spirit Winds about 5 months ago, I was having a very difficult time walking and I am now able to walk for about an hour. In the time of corona virus, the staff is constantly sanitizing everything and everyone wears a mask. The front office staff is friendly, efficient and always willing to accommodate a need. It is a true delight to go to Spirit Winds!!

I have gone to physical therapy at Spirit Winds for several months for frozen shoulders. The office staff has been very efficient and accommodating and the therapists are top rate. I have improved my strength and the pain has diminished. I recommend this business.

I've been coming to Spirit Winds for several months, and have made terrific progress with my problem. I didn't know exactly what to expect, as I've never had PT before, but I have been so happy with my experience. I've seen almost every therapist in the practice and have always had a sterling experience. They are all deeply committed to your recovery, and pay careful attention, not only to the medical aspects, bu to your personal needs and preferences. The receptionists and other folks are always friendly, remember my name, and treat me so nicely! It's a pleasure to come here. Spirit Winds gets my highest recommendation.

My 75 year old husband loved the help he received. The staff are inowledgeable, kind and supportive. He learned a lot of new ways to stay in shape. He would definitely choose them again.
