What patients are saying …

Heidi is an outstanding physical therapist. She is well trained, professional and knowledgeable. She has worked on my back and shoulders on several occasions, and in each instance has been able to accurately diagnose the issue and provide the best therapy both in the clinic and as exercises with detailed instructions to perform at home. She has powerful yet gentle manual skills and is able to alleviate areas of inflammation and pain effectively. Her interpersonal skills are wonderful, and she is genuinely interested in making you feel better. Added to all of this, she always has a positive outlook on everything and a sunny disposition that makes being around her a pleasure. I would recommend her to everyone!

Once in awhile you find a physical therapist who stands out among the best in her field. I first met Heidi in 2015 and was surprised at how she treated me and how she knew more about the body than a lot of physicians. She is awesome and will help you get better.

Heidi Herman is a light in this world! Forget everything you believe to be true about physical therapy because Heidi is not your typical physical therapist. Her hands were created to diagnose and treat. Heidi’s positive energy and hope is infectious. I have struggled with many physical issues for years following a car wreck. My symptoms have not been typical to say the least. Heidi refuses to give up faith that together, we will work through these issues to find healing. I have recommended Heidi to friends, family, and patients- they have all adored her and benefited immensely from her treatment. Heidi is strong enough to treat my 190 pound athletic husband, but gentle enough to treat my 94 year old grandmother.  It is rare to meet someone who is born to do what they do, but Heidi Herman was born to be a physical therapist- it is truly a gift!

Heidi is a total Rockstar. She goes above & beyond every single session. I was living with chronic pain and had lost hope in getting relief. After my very first session with Heidi, I knew I had found what was missing in my life. She is always so accommodating with her schedule and just an overall joy to be around. She even made a house call right after I had my baby! I truly feel like she takes the necessary time to get you better for the long haul; not just a quick fix. She loves what she does and has such a heart of gold, & that makes all the difference. I will forever be referring all of my family, friends, and patients to Heidi!

As a firefighter, chronic back pain after surgery has been something I have lived with for 25 years. I have been in and out of physical therapy offices most of my career, only to get a few weeks of relief and then back to suffering and a pill regiment. After my first visit with Heidi Herman I knew this was not the same old therapy routine that I have experienced over the years. I came away with long lasting relief from pain, an education on what was actually causing my pain, and how I can be part of the cure. If you are looking for compassionate care with real results, this is it.  Thank you for physical therapy that works!

Heidi has been a game-changer for me, members of my family, and many of my clients. She has an excellent touch, and knows how to effectively target areas that need work. She uses techniques that are different than any I’ve ever experienced (and I’ve been at this awhile!). I and many I’ve referred to her felt relief after the first visit. In addition to being skilled and very knowledgeable, she’s friendly, patient, and such a pleasure to be around. I have recommended her to many clients and other trainers and will continue to.

Few medical professionals  reach the level of competence and caring that you find in Heidi Herman!  After many years of chronic pain,  I finally found relief through the compassionate care of this skilled PT! Through her successful methods of treatment adjusted to meet my specific needs, I have overcome the pain that had become an expected way of life. I highly recommend her to others knowing the relief I have found through her compassionate and skilled care.

Heidi is the best PT I have ever been to.  She really takes her time to get to the root cause of the issue and treats accordingly. She makes sure that you understand the exercises that needs to be done in your own time to help speed up recovery.  I would highly recommend her for any PT work.

Myself and several family members have seen Heidi over the last couple years for various issues and her care has been excellent with great results for all of us.  She really listens to your problem and thinks outside the box for many of her treatment protocols. I love how open she is to questions and I do ask a lot... she always says, “that’s a great question” and then proceeds to educate me on why she is doing something and the mechanics of her treatment. I walk away feeling better and more educated each time. Plus, her sunny personality is always a bright spot in my day.
- Missy M
Heidi is very knowledgeable, well trained, and caring. She takes the time to treat the whole body in order to address why you have pain or dysfunction. It’s difficult to find PTs in the corporate setting that have the freedom to treat patients like she does.

As a year-round competitive swimmer, I began to experience a minor shoulder injury due to overuse. It didn’t seem to be something worth ending my swim career over, however, after multiple doctors’ appointments and months of physical therapy, my symptoms still were not improving but rather affecting other parts in my neck and back. Every other doctor I saw told me I needed a break from swimming in order fix this injury, except for Mrs. Herman. She worked with my schedule and directly manipulated the area that seemed to be the cause of the problem. She took every symptom into consideration and did not solely focus on one specific area, but rather worked all around it so that I would receive a permanent solution rather than a temporary fix. I have been very impressed with her knowledge, abilities and the progress she has made with fixing my injury.
