Physical Therapy First - Baltimore

Dr. Bridget Collier is absolutely awesome. She is very nice, professional and comprehensive. She clearly identifies where you are having challenges, comes up with a plan of action, explains why it is the preferred course of treatment, solicits your input and then implements. Additionally, the entire Physical Therapy First team is friendly, competent and accessible.

You can easily get them on the phone to ask questions and set appointments that meets your scheduling needs. Highly recommend Dr. Bridget Collier and the the entire Physical Therapy First team.

PT was doctor-recommended to me for lower back and neck pain. I chose Physical Therapy First after reading some reviews and it was one of the best decisions I have made. The entire staff, including reception perrsonnel. were very pleasant and I always felt they were glad to see me. Tyler T., my PT was fantastic. He's highly knowledgeable and despite his youthful appearance he has a wide range of educational and practical experiences.

He thoroughly explained the purpose of each treatment he applied and the results have been amazing. My level of pain has been reduced dramatically and no long interferes with my daily life. Physical Therapy First has my heartiest endorsement.

Physical Therapy First has been our first choice for physical therapy for several years. This past year I had Bridget Collier two different times for two different surgery recovery sessions. Bridget is knowledgeable, kind, patient, but still encourages a very good workout. People are still commenting on how quickley I recovered. I would highly recommend Bridget if you need physical therapy for any reason.

I initially went to PT for impingement/bursitis in my left shoulder. Saw Tyler and Bridget throughout my treatment. They were both knowledgeable and professional. They assessed progress at each visit, explained their thoughts, plans, and tweaked exercises as needed. I would definitely use either Dr. again and highly recommend them and this facility.

My first time in physical therapy for an injury, so I wasn't sure what to expect. What I found was Tyler, a PT who listened to my story, asked questions, and went directly to work with a plan for my recovery. I was lucky and pleased that Tyler is attune to sports injuries and respected me as an older athlete. I highly recommend Tyler.

This was the absolute best physical therapy I have ever had. Actually, it restored my faith in physical therapy. I was amazed that John B. was able to restore my frozen shoulder to fully functioning in a very short time. The office staff is very professional and kind. A special shout out to Shawnnaja because when I initially called, she was the one who convinced me to try Physical Therapy First. If I need physical therapy again, I will gladly make the long trip to Physical Therapy First because they are honest and they can get the job done! Many Thanks.

My quality of life has greatly improved due to my visits to Physical Therapy First. Dr. John Bauer has helped me deal with chronic pain in my neck and shoulder blades. I am regaining strength, flexibility, and mobility! Dr. Bauer's experience and skill has enabled me to be more active in my daily life and given me hope that I have a chance to be able to resume activities and hobbies I have enjoyed in past years.

This office is filled with professional, friendly, caring, and highly competent staff. The well-being and treatment of all patients is a top priority. Therefore, I highly recommend Dr. Bauer and Physical Therapy First!

I have been a client at Physical Therapy First for about 10 years. I would go nowhere else for physical therapy and ongoing care of my spinal conditions. Since I was a teenager, I have been treated for back pain and spinal issues, resulting from scoliosis and deteriorating discs from aging. That is more than four decades of experience with different physical therapists and types of treatments.

Physical Therapy First is the absolute best practice that I have ever found. They take their time, listening to what's going on with your pain and limitations. They offer the latest and best therapies for drug free pain relief. The office and treatment rooms are kept clean and sanitized to the highest standard. That is especially important. I have been to therapists that are not conscientious about patient practices.

They rush you through and their between patient cleaning is questionable. Physical Therapy First practices the highest standards of client care and cleaning. They are caring, friendly, and genuinely want to help you feel better and get moving. I recommend them above and beyond any other physical therapists. You will definitely find the right treatment in a state of the art facility from highly-trained therapists, invested in improving your specific physical limitation or injury. They are the best!

I was with Tyler for more than two months. He was attentive to details and explained very clearly right from the beginning what it was and how we should move forward. His experience and guidance paid off. My shoulder is much better than before and I am close to 100% now. I am still doing a few exercises at home that Tyler has asked me to continue and is going well.

I will expect to get there in the next few weeks. Tyler is already a great physiotherapist in our area and with his experience and dedication, he will be one of the best in the coming years.

My husband just recently started seeing Bridget at Physical Therapy First. Her initial evaluation was much more thorough than that of the doctors. She is professional, nice, and very encouraging while my husband is doing the exercises and receiving hands on therapy for his pain in the shoulder/neck area. The staff has been very friendly and helpful. The location is close to our home and parking is very easy in front of the building. I feel hopeful that Frank will make a lot of progress at Physical Therapy First.

Bridget and Tyler have been very attentive, creative and fun to work with. After 10 years of a chronic pain, knee feels even better than before I got injured. They are treating me so well, I may never come back again! Jokes aside, I'll definitely come back if I need physical therapy.

I cannot say enough positive about my experience at Physical Therapy First with Bridget. I have had a lot of PT in my life for various surgeries. Never before was the therapy session one on one for the whole hour. (Rather I was told to do an exercise by myself or passed on to an underling.) I improved much faster than I expected with her expertise and hands on work. She was knowledgeable and caring. I highly recommend Bridget and Physical Therapy First.

Very appreciative of this practice. Convenient location and parking is easy. Tyler was prompt, friendly and professional. Took his time, never felt rushed and he was upbeat, empathetic, encouraging and focused. This all matters in our busy lives and when feeling vulnerable due to pain. Took good notes to remember where we left off and where to pick up. Explained things very well. Appointments were easy to make. Really liked having my own room whenever possible and dedicated attention for an hour of therapy. I was in a lot of back pain and it improved greatly. Thank you so much.

I just finished my physical therapy with Tyler Tyce after a right knee replacement. I had seen him for PT months before when I was not yet vaccinated and not ready therefore for the operation. He was wonderful and provided the guidance and treatment I needed to build up my muscles around my knee so when I did have the operation I had a better chance for a speedier recovery.

When I came back to him after the knee replacement he was as knowledgable and personable as with my first experience. I like to understand the what and the why as well as the how of my treatment and he explained everything with clarity and detail. I feel so much better now and attribute that to both a very good surgeon and a very good physical therapist.

Perhaps the best recommendation was from a former neighbor who is himself a physical therapist but came back to Physical Therapy first for his own treatment when needed telling me how good they were.

This is the first time I have ever been to Physical Therapy for any reason. In my particular case, I went in for some issues with my hip and my calves. My PT was Tyler - and things worked out great. Within two days of seeing him, I started seeing significant improvement and found relief. The guy really knows his anatomy and has an understanding of the kinds of pains you might be experiencing.

He also fields questions very well. I hit him up with many. Physical Therapy First was an out of the ways place for me to get to. I went here because I could not find any openings locally. Locally, I would have had to wait till Nov to get an appointment. PT First however had openings almost right away and so I went there - and you know what? It was worth it. I would go there again.

My surgeon referred me for physical therapy to prepare for and recover from hip replacement surgery. Physical Therapy First exceeded all my expectations! Tyler was the best! He was always prompt, pleasant and professional. I really appreciated that I had his undivided attention for the entire appointment unlike other practices where the DPT only works with you for half the time.

I also loved how Tyler always explained which muscle I was working and where I should be feeling the effects to help me make sure that I was doing the exercises correctly and get the maximum benefit from them. This especially helped me when I did them at home. I don't think I could have asked for a better DPT to guide me through my recovery. Thanks to Tyler I have regained full use of my hip and I am back to hiking, gardening, and all the other activities that I enjoyed prior to my hip failure. He truly has given me my life back.
