Testimonials

What NISSPT clients are saying.

My Dr recommended more therapy for my 3 disc protrusions i,stenosis in my neck . I said ok, who is the best spine therapist? I knew from past pt experiences that a good therapist, is just as important as the therapy.
They said see Kim. So I did. Finally someone that understands what to do. Like alot people. I was dealing with this for a long time, had epidurals, pills , I assumed surgery was the only thing that could help. I knew at the 1st session this was different. Nothing like past pt . We where actually targeting the trouble spot I listened to Kim and kept at it, at appointments and at home. Started peeling the layers off, little by little.I have full range of motion, also no more neck noises! Stiffness is very close to being gone.
 I can honestly say .
 I finally have my life back.

"Kim has successfully helped resolve pain and mobility issues with my lower back, neck, and shoulder. His approach was to listen to my complaints, help me set realistic goals for improvement, then guide me through a course of therapy that helped me achieve those goals. Along the way, he explained what the exercises Kim is very knowledgeable, has a good sense of what will work and what won’t, and isn’t afraid to change his strategy if he doesn’t see the progress he believes possible. After working with him, I was left with the belief that he has a profound interest both in helping people heal and educating them about their bodies so they can continue to help themselves after leaving his care."

"Hi. Kim Alexander is a physical therapist that I've seen when needed since 2017. His kindness, expertise, and education has returned me to a healthy, pain-free, active life. Kim goes above and beyond to assess your condition, then details the therapy to your specific needs. I've had other therapists and never received the personal care Kim offers or had the lasting results that I get from him. Alex teaches you the necessary exercises to keep you pain-free and a healthy, active life. Choose your heart. It's hard to live with pain. It's hard to get pain-free. I recommend choosing Kim Alexander. Let him show you how to obtain that healthy, pain-free, active life we all deserve."

"Outstanding physical therapist for ongoing pain others may dismiss, but that impacts your daily life.  He truly listens and conducts a thorough, thoughtful evaluation, asking extensive questions and assessing areas beyond where the pain is felt.  He takes real pride in solving the puzzle to find the root cause of pain.  His approach is focused on diagnosing, using treatment modalities that promote healing, while also honestly recognizing when pain or injury may ultimately require surgical intervention.  He is professional, highly skilled, and exceptionally thorough.  He is genuinely invested in helping his patients heal so that their quality of life is enhanced."
