I feel after I have a balance session with Geraldine, I'm one step closer to my goal of overcoming my balance issues and remain on my feet, which is my primary goal since I've fallen many times and they always resulted inShow more broken bones and surgery.

Really nice to work with

Lula F • July 02, 2025

I would highly recommend going to you any time. Everyone is very friendly and treated like family while there. The individual problems are addressed, and instructions on how to do the exercises at home are explained fully. If I have another surgery I want to go to Step-Up. Margo Doyle

I experienced a through intake process. Gigi was very professional and methodical in accessing my pain issue. She was a very good listener and I appreciated her focus. Looking forward to our next visit to continue to heal safely.

Cheryl B • January 16, 2025

Through intake exam. Measurements of how far foot could be moved, stretched etc. Light exercise of the foot to see where pain level starts. Formal plan of treatment. It worked!

Steven D • November 12, 2024

Very thorough review and explanation of my condition.

John H • June 18, 2024

Unbelievable. I felt relief after my first appointment. I suffered nearly 3 weeks with lower back pain as I waited for a doctor appointment. Wish I saw Gigi sooner.

Nancy W • August 09, 2021

Dr. Gigi is excellent--really attentive to my pain and needs, and persistent in getting to answers that can help. She tries methods I haven't seen before from other Physical therapists, and really tries to be sure they are helping. Highly recommended.

David C • May 01, 2021

Gigi is always pleasant, patient, knowledgeable and professional. I would recommend Step-Up to all.

Michell S • March 19, 2021

Rachel B • February 16, 2021

Before coming to this physical therapy i use to wonder when will i be able to start working back with my lower back pain but am happy now that am back to work sooner that i think great job.

Vickesha D • February 12, 2021

Gi Gi always takes a serious interest in my particular ache and between recommending exercises and in-house treatment the ailment diminishes greatly.

Franklin G • February 05, 2021

This is the best physical therapy establishment that I’ve ever been to. The staff is wonderful and the owner GG is one of the best physical therapist that I’ve had work and me in a very long time. She is thorough very patient and very good at diagnosing the problems at hand would recommend this establishment.

Catherine H • January 26, 2021

Great personal attention in carrying out the required exercises.

Glenn J • September 28, 2020

This is the most professional and knowledgeable physical therapy treatment I have ever received. The progressive exercises, knowledge and follow up has not only helped me avoid shoulder surgery, they provided me with a program to continue with the proper exercises in my home. More than a “ Step Above.”

Cynthia C • July 24, 2020

Geraldine's an experienced therapist who's caring and especially thorough about explaining her treatment plans.

Amy is a very good theorist

Lisa S • March 25, 2020

Amazing Physical Therapy! Courteous and friendly I felt like I was with family. I am greatly improved in the couple months ( some in home and some outpatient) that GIgi and Aimee worked with me. Highly recommend their services.

John M • March 13, 2020

In 30 years, I have been to 4 previous physical therapists in 2 states. This is the best evaluation and care I have ever received.

Linda W • March 07, 2020

Great place to get help

Donnabelle H • March 03, 2020

My doctor recommended a physical therapist who had been successfully treating Lymphedema. I was in terrible shape; my left leg & foot were 2 & 1/2 times larger than normal. Could not wear a shoe, slacks or capris. Gigi began treatment immediately. After 7 weeks of massage and wearing a compression cast, my leg & foot returned to normal. Gigi is well educated, up-to-date on new methods, knowledgeable, compassionate, kind, and thorough. The office staff is organized, efficient & friendly.
