At GOfit Physical Therapy, we go beyond pain management.

Our skilled therapists take a comprehensive approach to identify the root cause of your discomfort, not just treat the symptoms. This leads to personalized treatment plans for long-term relief.

Being A Holistic Provider, We Know That The Body Is Complex And Interconnected.

  • We know that foot pain can be driven from low back problems for starters.

  • We know that elbow pain can be driven from issues in the shoulder, among other areas.

  • We know that knee pain can be caused by dysfunction in the hip and beyond.

Our Bodies Have An Amazing Ability To Compensate Or Hide Problems And It Is This Ability To Compensate That Can Cause Breakdown in Other Seemingly Unrelated Areas.

Being A Holistic Provider We Also Understand That The Body Is Made Up Of A Number Of Systems.

  • Long gone is the idea that our body is made up of a separate compartmentalized systems.

  • The musculoskeletal system, immune system, cardiovascular system, nervous system, endocrine system, digestive system etc. all work together every second of every day.

  • These interconnected systems can all play an impact in the symptoms you experience.

Testimonials

“Working with Cara, I was able to reduce my back pain almost completely and gain back mobility and strength…The results were far beyond those I had from working with other therapists and were completely worth my investment”

“I first sought physical therapy for back pain related to scoliosis. Cara had been highly recommended to me by a good friend because of her extensive training and the depth of her experience. Working with Cara, I was able to reduce my back pain almost completely and gain back mobility and strength. Both her treatment and the exercise program she designed for my specific challenges made a significant difference. The results were far beyond those I had from working with other therapists and were completely worth my investment. Cara is a compassionate, kind and highly knowledgeable physical therapist. She listens carefully to my concerns and tailors her treatment to my own individual needs. I especially appreciate Cara’s skill and experience when I have a persistent challenge. She will work to find a way to address the problem until it is either resolved or on the way to improving. I wholeheartedly recommend Cara and GoFit Physical Therapy.”

“I can’t recommend him enough for anyone, especially people looking to get back to their sports and activities quickly.”

“As a recreational triathlete, I initially sought out a physical therapist for some running related injuries. I had heard of GOfit PT from another physician who highly recommended their services. When first meeting Kyle I was very impressed with the thorough and systematic history he took in regard to my activities and injury. When he examined and treated me it was obvious he had a great knowledge of anatomy. I initially saw him for an IT band issue and have since seen him for other issues including shoulder, piriformis, and lower back issues. I love how he really tries to seek the root cause of the problem to figure out how it happened and prescribing treatment that not only fixes the problem but aims to prevent it from recurring in the future. His manual therapy skills are impressive and I have had great results with his treatments and follow up exercises. I can’t recommend him enough for anyone, especially people looking to get back to their sports and activities quickly.”

“No question she always hones in on my issues and eliminated a lot of pain enabling me to work as well as participate in outdoor recreation”

“I just feel compelled to express my appreciation for the exceptional care and treatment I received from Cara Atwell in which I’m sure all patients experience at GOfit PT. Following rotator cuff surgery and then again for pain issues in my lower back I came to Cara for physical therapy. Initially the thorough examination and continual monitoring of my range of motions relating to pain levels certainly was well beyond anything I anticipated. At every appointment she was always well versed with my issues and strengths, well really just weaknesses. She always took the time to explain things, ensuring that I understood how the body was working, how the body was healing, what was happening, what the exercises were doing, and what the correct form should have been. The patience that Cara exhibits when teaching me exercises is phenomenal, as I am not coordinated to say the least. She tailored exercises specifically for my issues and patiently worked with me (really patiently worked with me) until such time that I understood and could perform them properly. There were a variety of methods that she has utilized in my treatment depending on which factors were contributing to my issues each session. No question she always hones in on my issues and eliminated a lot of pain enabling me to work as well as participate in outdoor recreation. I work for myself and it often may require intense physical activity to be successful.

At GOfit how nice to find extremely competent professionals that actually care, follow through and treat you individually on a one-on-one basis. I’ve spoken with Kyle and definitely have the impression that treatment from him would be on par with that of Cara. I cannot be grateful enough for how generous Cara has been with her time. She follows up on appointments with emails to monitor my situation, encouraged me to email any questions, and spent whatever time was necessary in my treatment. There is no question that in addition to my shoulder and lower back, my overall health has improved as a benefit of seeing Cara as a GOfit patient. I highly recommend GOfit Physical Therapy.”

*Cara gave me 1-on-1 treatment, providing me all of her attention for one hour sessions.
*I was blown away by the knowledge and experience Cara has, as well as, the kindness and care I received.
