Ft. Washington, Pennsylvania – Strive PT Reviews

We have been really happy with strive PT for my teenage son! They have great expertise, especially Sue and her PT assistants, in hypermobility, which is the area we needed help the most. Great communication with how things are progressing, easy to schedule, and a lot of space and equipment in the facility.

I did not expect to enjoy my experience with physical therapy so much. Strive Fort Washington has been such a pleasant experience. The staff are warm and welcoming and genuinely engaged with clients. I have been fortunate to specifically work with DPT Alex M and he has made a difference in how I approach my injury. He is personable, intelligent, clinically competent, and develops strong rapport with clients. I look forward to my appointments whether with my DPT or PTA Nina. The space is really lovely with plenty of equipment. I feel confident that I will improve under their care. A fantastic practice!

nice people. good pt. good experience

Est place to be

Nina, Nate, Russ (when he was there) Bridget, Sydney (come back SOON), Steph (when she was not in the Big office) and Everyone are just GREAT & WAY helpful and they make every visit fun and you don't mind doing the work that hurts which ultimately helps. THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!

Staff is very friendly, knowledgeable and proficient. They don't keep you waiting either. One feels much more like receiving one-to-one service than other physical therapy centers.

I am currently still recovering from back surgery I had last year. Strive Physical Therapy offers In-Home Therapy. My therapist, Tom Howell, is the best! He is very passionate about his job. To help prepare me to return to work we went to my workplace after hours so I could see how to maneuver going up and down the steps outside the office using my walker and a cane. Tom was by my side the whole time and gave me tips on the best ways to go about it. And then when I was back home again he was there to guide me as I went up my own steps outside, as well as the more challenging inside steps, with two landings. And when I finally reached the top of my steps and was settled on my couch he asked if there was anything I needed him to do for me before he left. Tom spent two hours with me which is above and beyond his regular one hour weekly sessions. What a significant show of dedication and caring for me, his client! Thank you, Tom, for all that you do for me! I appreciate you so much!

Everyone is friendly and knowledgeable. Feeling 100% better in 1 week

Friendly and attentive staff, highly recommend Strive PT!

Excellent staff, never overcrowded, lots of individualized attention. Everyone is kind and patient. My progress has been amazing since starting PT at Strive Physical Therapy and I highly recommend them.

Mike has been great and it’s been a good experience so far.

I have been using strive physical therapy on and off for the past 15 years. My therapist is Mike O and he is the best. During the hours that I have spent having physical therapy, I have also observed all the other physical therapist who are kind, caring, patient and very knowledgeable!

I've done PT at 2 other places in the area but when it came time to do it after my back surgery I came here. The name may have changed but the excellent staff and upbeat atmosphere are still intact. I'm back with Pam who is awesome and so fun to work with. PT does not feel like a chore here.

Dresher PT (specifically Matt and Nina but the whole team was so supportive) helped me tremendously get back to running after an injury. I came to them with a bold goal of running a half marathon in November after starting PT in August. Not only did they get me back on my feet and running but I ran a PR!! So happy with my experience and will always recommend them to a friend.

After many bad PT experiences, injury and pain, I finally found a winner! I went to Strive in November with severe lower back disc herniation, pinching nerve and causing sciatica. I couldn’t walk, stand, sit, drive or even lay without extreme pain. Kyle met me where I was at, starting with the bare minimum in whatever I could do that didn’t cause pain. I love how they utilize all the important things for healing: deep tissue message, strength training, McKenzie method and stretching. My ortho added Rx to now treat my whole spine — I feel so much better and am able to do all those things I couldn’t and more! I feel strong! Thanks to Nina for her continued support too, and the rest of the amazing team! It’s a great environment—like cheers, very friendly, encouraging, and cathartic. Thank you Strive for giving me my life back! I know that there will be hills and valleys in recovery but I have a great team to get me through the journey!

I had two different spinal fusion surgeries in 2025, and based on previous experience I chose Strive for my months-long rehab. My therapist Kyle has always been very attentive to safety and fall risk, offering alternative exercises to reduce the risk. The assistants Nina, Nate, and Charlie have been excellent enhancements to my recovery.
With consistency and hard work I’ve regained a good amount of strength. Besides the skill of the PTs and assistants, Strive is a pleasant and lively place. It’s fun to chat with other patients, the PT staff and the friendly admin staff. I highly recommend this location!
