Patient Testimonials

Back pain patient

Having been a long time sufferer of chronic back pain with no hope of sustainable relief I recently had the good fortune of being referred to Burke Selbst at Focus Physical Therapy. Burke’s innate sensitivity combined with his wealth of knowledge and advanced training in a multitude of physio therapy treatments makes for his unique ability to fine tune his treatment for a super custom fit based on the individual. The pain reduction has been truly liberating and Burke’s willingness to share his insights as well as offer good direction is empowering for long term maintenance.  

Mental as well as physical improvement

I understand where I need to work to improve and why, and have the clear information/exercises to do–and know that it’s up to me to do them regularly for success. I also believe that this is not just physical recovery, it’s mental as well and I get an incredible amount of support and empathy for that struggle when frustrated, or have setbacks.
