I saw Dr Brian Vasicek on Friday for my progress evaluation and we spoke at length regarding my acupuncture treatment that I had earlier in the week. Dr Vasicek was just as enthusiastic as I was in having such rapid results andShow more progress from the one treatment of acupuncture. I was feeling quite self conscious and a little embarrassed from my intense reaction to the acupuncture earlier in the week and dr Brian was so kind in reassuring me that I had nothing to be self conscious about and that “Back to You ” if a safe space that allows their patients to process their physical pain and emotional releases from the treatments without any judgment. Due to the tremendous benefit from my acupuncture earlier that week he proceeded with another round of needles and surprisingly enough I didn’t have the strong reaction as the first session. He took the time to assess my shoes and kindly wrote down a list of options for over pronation. I was also able to report how the acupuncture was so beneficial not only to my PT and OT symptoms but, I have found great relief from digestive issues, TMJ, and my overall range of motion has increased significantly! My overall experience with Back to You has been absolutely brilliant! I honestly cannot say enough positive things about the level of care and concern regarding my treatment and well being. It is my experience that every practitioner and employee that I’ve interacted with at Back to You are extremely dedicated and take deep pride in their role in helping their patients have a positive experience and on their road back to wellness!
My overall experience at "Back to You" has been outstanding! Dr Putnam and his staff are absolutely wonderful! I've been attending for a couple of months now and I've seen tremendous progress thus far. During my last visit Dr PutnShow moream was kind enough to assist me further with my exercises to gain the maximum benefit. He also informed me of supplements to add to my diet to reduce inflammation and gave me tips for getting adequate sleep. When I came in for my appointment I was struggling with my ankle and Dr Putnam showed immediate concern and dealt with the issue during my session. After the dry needling I was actually able to walk my dog that evening! The day of my visit I could barely put any weight on my ankle. It's been a few days since my visit but I have felt so much better and I have been able to work all day in the garden without any pain!

Dr Putnam is a professional in every sense of the word. Listens to your complaint , explains every exercise function in a precise and understandable way.
Such a positive, thorough experience. As I was treated everything was explained step by step with reasons as to why we went thru a process. The exercises and dry needling helped reduce my pain tremendously. Follow up was outstanding. “Back to You” was superior to my previous experience with Team Rehab!!!!
Professional, well informed and thorough. From the scheduling to Dr Putnam's therapy.
The knowledge and expertise of the staff is amazing. They have unlocked about 20 years of tight muscles in just 4 visits so far. It's a life changing experience with the treatment that they provide.
This was my second appointment getting the dry needling done. It is amazing how it releases pain and muscle tightness so quickly. I have referred several people to try it. It's worth it.
In just one visit 90% of my pain is all gone. It was incredible how well the dry needling works.
Everyone there is very personable and accommodating. They made sure that I had a great experience.
Just left my 3rd session with Kyle and John and I can't express enough, how happy I have been with my treatment plan and the attention and care both these guys have shown me so far. Exercises have been great and today's dry needling has started me on a very welcomed path of muscle tension relief like I haven't felt in years. Can't wait for the progress I will see over the next several weeks. Highly recommend this facility. So happy I took the time to do my research. My drive is long but well worth it.
I have been in Physical Therapy for over two years and out of six different locations B2Y has been by far the most Professional and first rate.
Dr. Kyle, Adam, and all of the staff have been very professional w/myself. I appreciate all of their help.
My experience was breathtaking and wholesome. I’ll always recommend people to have this windows experience .
Again great treatment. Showing signs that cartilage is regenerating. Great news
I’ve been coming to see Dr. Putnam for over 2 years. He’s helped with several different injuries. Cannot say enough good things about this practice. I’ve had dry needling from several PTs before, but nothing like I have experienced here. I trust Dr. Putnam and his approach. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable and experienced PT, look no further!
Dr John is attentive and takes the time to listen to my specific concerns and alter treatment accordingly. Highly recommend
Listened to my issues & developed treatment & rehab exercises
Thorough evaluation done of issues. Personalized treatment & rehab exercises given
I’m grateful for the team at Back To You. I was recently in a car accident. I chose them for my rehab because of the variety of services they offer. They have more than met my expectations! I once got off the table and said “Back To You is not just a name, it’s what you guys really do “. Oftentimes when I leave I feel so great that my muscle memory wants to go for a run or head to the gym. I know that I’m not there yet, but they’re helping me get back to normal. Thanks Back To You team! Theresa
Took time to figure out what was the best for me and explained what part of the body this was helping..provide cupping and electrical stimulation..
I had been working on my right rotator cuff for some time before using BTY. There therapy is the one that finally turned the corner and things are greatly improved and continue to do so.
Absolutely amazing
Very welcoming and helpful explanations
Dr. Putnam was thorough in listening and explaining what treatment plan he wanted to try be is willing to work with his patients to help them find the best combination of treatment that works best for that person. Very kind staff.
The treatment i have received since coming to Back To You Therapy has been very helpful. After just a few months I am able to do activities I was struggling with before. Not only do I feel better, I understand whats going on.
Dr. John and his staff are wonderful. I would definitely recommend B2U to everyone struggling with pain, especially long-standing pain that other treatments haven’t been able to help.
Wonderful PT
Friendly and very knowledgeable staff. Dr. Putnam is very thorough and explains your condition and treatment plan very well.
Great friendly service
The experience was enjoyable and helpful. I feel great.
Working with BTY has made all the difference in resolving my rotator cuff issues.
Very unusual therapy. Just hope it helps!
