What our patients are saying

"Absolutely love Athlete’s Edge. I came in because of some severe neck and upper trap pain and within days of my visit the pain was gone. More importantly, I learned so many things I never knew about my body and how to safeguard my body for the future. As a Crossfitter and weight lifter I appreciate their knowledge of all the movements and how to help these improve."
Alan DeVall
"Laurel is incredibly knowledgeable and easy to work with. She makes the process accessible and engaging. PT exercises are tough to stick with, but her encouragement and adaptive responses to my ongoing process have helped me feel a lot better and slowly chip away at the chronic pain i've been experiencing."
Michael Shawe
"Dr Trax was truly a miracle worker! I had a partially torn hamstring & he gave me the tools, confidence, ability to bounce back way faster than I expected. He was always available via text if I had any questions on what I could / couldn't do. Truly an amazing experience all around!"
Aaron Harris
"Fried my knees and had chronic knee pain that was lingering for about a year. Within a few visits Dr. Traxler was able to get me running, jumping, deep squatting again with no knee irritation."
Anthony Bushay
"Great group!  I’ve been here for 2 years and I’ve never felt better"

"Athletes' Edge was my saving grace this marathon season to get me across the finish line. Couldn't recommend their team of PTs enough!!"
Madaline Waldron
"Five Stars for Dr. Laurel & staff.  I appreciate their straightforward approach!  I have achieved measurable results!"
Emmaus Outcry
"The epitome of what you think physical therapy should be like. Personal, Tailored, Attentive 1x1 care to help you, BE YOU again! I've gone to many PTs and was always dissatisfied with the attention I was given as I was one of two or even three patients the PT was seeing at the same time. Not here. Here the focus is on you.
Tyler Engalla
"I've enjoyed my experience at Athlete's Edge - it's the place to go if you want the full athlete approach.  The team has an endless pool of exercises and help keep you motivated. I also really* appreciate they do dry needling on me as I need it - and I need it often."
Mia Cheeseman
"I went to multiple physical therapy places before coming here. This is by far the best and most welcoming pt place of all time. I had a struggle with finding therapists that knew how to treat baseball players and my specific injury. Dr. Traxler improved my arm drastically and we always had a fun time in the process. 5 STARS"
Jackson Hamilton
"Justin Traxler has been incredible. He is not only highly knowledgeable, but he was highly invested in my condition and thoroughly researched, consulted colleagues, and even spoke with my orthopedic doctor multiple times before and after appointments. I can't recommend Justin enough. I am a sports professional so I've seen a lot of PTs and this clinic is above the rest."
