"I've been a patient at Strive Physical Therapy in Center City Philadelphia for the past two years, and I can't say enough good things about the team—especially Dr. Kate and Dr. Tom. They have truly changed my life.After being diagnosed with a severe condition that left me disabled, unable to use the right side of my body properly in everyday activities, and facing a future with permanently reduced quality of life, I was devastated. Multiple doctors told me recovery wasn't realistic. But Dr. Kate and Dr. Tom saw it differently—they took my situation as a challenge and committed fully to helping me regain function.Through dedicated, personalized care, innovative approaches, and a willingness to explore new methods and treatments, they've helped me reach levels of mobility and independence I never thought possible. They continue to adapt and push forward, always focused on improving my physical capabilities and long-term outcomes.Without their expertise, compassion, and relentless effort, I would be in a much worse place today. They haven't just treated my body—they've restored my hope and positivity.I wholeheartedly recommend Strive Physical Therapy to anyone serious about their recovery. If you're in need of skilled, caring physical therapy in Philadelphia, this is the place. Dr. Kate, Dr. Tom, and the entire team are exceptional. Thank you from the bottom of my heart—5 stars aren't enough!"

Truly the best! I have unfortunately been to PT far too many times in my life and have experienced the good and the bad. Strive has definitely been my favorite PT experience. I have only worked with Katie, but they have a great environment there and are very hands on with each patient, they’re not just trying to get as many people in the door as possible. Would happily drive 30+ minutes to go here as opposed to some places much closer to me. I’m now seeing them for my second injury and I’m actually excited to be going to PT!

My time at Strive therapy was overall a positive experience ! The front desk employees, Gabby and Anodja, were always so friendly and helpful! Thomas was great with providing insight and educating in a manner that allowed me to comprehend the information. Katie and Julia were very knowledgeable and also helpful. They all assist in running the clinic smoothly and creating a welcoming environment for everyone.

I was a recent patient of Strive PT and could not be more happy with my results. I was under the care of Dr. Julia Kajen and Dr. Tom Weiss. I came in with hamstring issues and really enjoyed my appointments - not just for the progressive prescribed therapy, but because they were so wonderful to engage with - the whole staff, really. My range of motion is very much improved and pain is no longer - thank you to the whole staff!! Not that I want to have the need to return, I truly do miss them lol!! If you are looking for professional physical therapy care with warmhearted providers - look no further 🙂

I couldn’t be more grateful for the excellent care I recieved here!!! Julia was my PT for a little over a year and she has completely restored my quality of life. No matter what issue I brought to her she was super knowledgeable and helpful.
Also Gabby at the front desk is a gem! Always helped me through my insurance and billing issues!
10/10. No need to look any further for a physical therapy location.

I was referred here and I’m so glad I came. The team is incredibly kind, welcoming, and professional. They explain everything clearly and make each visit feel comfortable and supportive. Im still early in my therapy, but I’m already feeling optimistic about my progress and would highly recommend this office to anyone looking for compassionate, knowledgeable physical therapy care.

If you are looking for pelvic floor therapy, look no further. I have been working with Julia for several years and couldn’t recommend her more highly. The front staff is also so friendly and helpful, and the new space is conveniently located and very clean.
