I can't say enough about how good the care was that I received from Jason and Rich at Glen Carbon Physical Therapy. Their professional approach and attention to detail helped me to get full mobility back in my shoulder.

Top notch care from the initial evaluation throughout the therapy sessions. I will return here whenever I need PT. Now that my latest therapy is complete, I find that I miss their thoughtful, insightful interaction and commentary.
