"I was experiencing left hip pain from gluteal medius & minimus tears. 865PT established a progressive plan to improve strength & reduce pain. They spend every minute of every visit with their patients, helping them progress & educating their patients at the same time! They do PT the way it is supposed to be done.! I have greatly improved & can’t say enough good things about Jim Mabe & 865PT.!

"If you're a golfer looking to get out of pain, and/or improve your performance on the course, 865PT is the place for you! Dr Jim got my back pain calmed down in 2 visits, then had my ball speed and driving distance way up in just a few sessions. The facility is spotless, and the entire staff is so friendly and welcoming."

"Paul is a great guy and really seems to care about improving you physically. Highly recommend him especially for the improving movement, flexibility, and speed that is needed for the golf swing. You do not have to be hurting to benefit from their process, they just help your body work better.

"Our family have been patients at 865PT over the last two years and we wouldn’t go anywhere else. Most recently, Jim quickly relieved the foot pain I’d been dealing with and gave me ways to keep it from happening again. You spend your entire session with the PT and that hasn’t been my experience other places. It really makes a difference and is just one of the reasons we’ll keep coming back!
