I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2016 and became a member of Dynamic’s boxing program and PT regiment. I can’t believe how much Jen and her team have helped me…. They are like family to me, warm,compassionate, loving people… I feel blessed to have them in my life !!!

This was not my first time having at home PT with Dynamics. As before, I was extremely satisfied with my assigned therapist. Chris always arrived on time, was both friendly and professional, and addressed any concerns I had before each session began. I would recommend Dynamics to anyone needing PT or OT.who are willing to commit to a program tailored to their individual needs and realistic goals.

Through dedicated sessions, patients experience a retraining of their body’s sense of movement, translating to improved daily function and quality of life.
