Melinda, Amanda, Kelly and Denise are highly organized! It is a great family. Everyone chips in to do their part to alway make you feel part of their family. This is truly the role models for all offices should follow! This is the way it should be. Thank you for always taking such great care of all of us especially me!All of the Physical Therapists are amazing and highly educated! Each are Professional and organized. I have had the pleasure of being cared for by Jordan and Sammy they are both amazing! Jordan has taken the time to get to know me and how my body reacts to the new treatments we try out. Sammy follows along at making sure I’m doing the right things. I love how Michelle, Richard,Taylor, and Lauren have been great at offering advice as a team and helping you/me feel better.

Just a shout out for the wonderful professional care I received at the Wellness Institute. From the always warm welcome at the front desk with Mel and Kelly, to the caring assistants Sammie, Malasha and Stephanie M. Michelle and Stephanie D. professionally guide and assist in my PT exercises. My “star”, Dr. Jordan, who has taken my ice pick stabbing neck pain to a manageable discomfort. I can not thank the entire crew, under the guidance of Dr. Craig Weyer enough. I highly recommend the Wellness Institute for anyone who desires the best physical therapy care.

One, if not the BEST, physical therapy/rehab facility in the Low Country! Nice and clean facilities with accommodating, friendly, and supportive staff especially Jordan. She knows her stuff and I always leave my sessions feeling better than when I arrived. Kudo's!!

I have been an individual who has needed Physical Therapy over the last 6 years, I have never felt the experience that I had with PT, was really helpful until I went to the Wellness institute, I associate that based on my therapist Jordan. In fact, when went back to the Wellness Institute, I insisted that Jordan would handle my PT. If she is off or on vacation, I won’t go unless she is there. That pretty well shows how great she is and what my feelings are regarding her handling my therapy

The Wellness Institute is hands down the best place in the Bluffton area for Physical Therapy.Jordan Haughton-James is an amazing DPT who is not only welcoming and friendly, but has helped me immensely. She guides me during our sessions with functional and easy to understand exercises. She also implements manual therapy, cupping, and dry needling to the area of my injury, and I now have more range of motion and less pain with activities. I would highly recommend Jordan at the Wellness Institute if you need to see a Physical Therapist in the Okatie/Bluffton area.

I have TMJ. After a long journey through multiple specialists, I saw an orofacial pain dentist who educated me on the standard of care for TMJ, which starts with physical therapy by a trained TMJ Doctor of Physical Therapy. I am blessed to have been referred to the Wellness Institute, where my results have been dramatic over time. When I started treatment it was difficult for me to open my mouth without pain. Now I am much more functional and in much less pain, thanks to the diligent efforts of Dr. Richard Spector!

I have a brain injury, and all of the staff I've had the pleasure of meeting so far are respectful and helpful. Melinda has consistently gone above and beyond to be of service. However, all of the front desk staff are welcoming and efficient. I have been to a lot of therapy clinics over the years, and the front desk staff here are the best! I must also give special recognition to my therapist, Dr Richard Spector. He has a great bedside manner, and is sensitive to my neurological struggles. He maintains enough challenge to push me to make progress, and positively reinforces the gains I make. He seems genuinely invested in seeing me overcome the obstacles my brain injury causes. I am very grateful to have found such a place as this. Anyone considering a place to go for their therapy needs, must request The Wellness Center as their first choice.

I had two herniated discs and could hardly walk, let alone do any of the sport activities I enjoyed. I had never been to a PT place before and was very concerned that if they did something wrong, I may never walk again. I was assigned Richard, and I couldn’t believe the miracle he did. I have no pain and am able to enjoy golf, tennis, and pickleball again !

I'd like to show my gratitude for my full recovery to Richard Spector, Doctor of Physical Therapy at the Wellness Institute.I had a terrible pain on my shoulder and after 8 sessions of physical therapy, massages, and exercises my pain went away. Richard is a very knowledgeable young man; He listened to my concerns at every appointment and researched on the appropriate treatment to follow each time.I couldn't say enough good things about my experience under his care.Thank You Mr. Spector!

I had a total knee replacement in 4/2023 and showed up at the Wellness Institute 2 days after surgery to work with Richard Spektor. He listened to me carefully about my aggressive goals. He started me on the basic post knee protocol but quickly escalated me on to a customized protocol to help me reach my goals. I was anxious to be able to hike in the Blue Ridge mountains. His program pushed me hard and within 2-3 months I could achieve my goals. His training for me was excellent. He wouldn’t just let me go through the motions, he made sure my form was correct. I have been recommending my friends go see him when needed. He is an outstanding physical therapist! He is the third therapist I’ve worked with in Bluffton and no one compares to him!

He very nearly crippled me! YES, HE VERY NEARLY CRIPPLED ME!! After spending at least five minutes explaining how fragile my lumbar spine condition and that I wanted to be sure he would not do anything to hurt me, he proceeded to do a "high velocity thrust" procedure. I yelled out to "stop you're hurting me" as he did it a second time to the other side of my lower back. Two days later the pain was so bad I couldn't get out of bed and needed to get a wheelchair to move about!

Couldn’t be more pleased. The front office staff are friendly and make you feel welcome every time you walk in the door. My physical Therapist was Richard. I came into PT after a total knee replacement. I can’t say enough about Richard. He was knowledgeable, thorough, professional, personable, caring and pushed just enough to ensure I got the most out of every session! I also observed leadership qualities that, with all the other outstanding qualities Richard has, I believe he could own his own practice someday and be one of the best in his field nationwide. I’m truly better for having worked with Richard at the Wellness Institute.

I’m not going to sugar coat it. Lauren changed my life. I can’t express fully in words how grateful I am to have someone with her skill and care nearby. For over a decade I suffered daily with TMJ pain following a procedure. The pain never went away. None of the recommendations from other providers helped. Unlike my past providers, she knew exactly what my jaw issue was. I was finally being seen and heard! After treatment I’m virtually pain free and even if I have some days that trigger the pain I have the knowledge to help decrease it. Lauren is the best and the entire staff here is incredible. Melinda and the ladies at the front are fantastic. Thank you Wellness Institute.
