Dr. Nick has been instrumental in making everything feel better, head to toe. One of my biggest struggles was with calf pain while running which has always bothered me and was just something I lived with. After working with Dr. Nick I have been running for the 1st time in my adult life pain free. I have also learned how to take care of my whole body and movements I can do to reduce soreness. Dr. Nick really listens to what you need and gives you all the tools to be successful.

What I really appreciate, is that he makes sure that you are understanding the movement and will adjust his wording until you get it. I have enjoyed working with Dr Nick and am happy with my results!

If you have tried physical therapy before at a clinic or hospital forget their methods. Dr. Nick listens to what you tell him, if something hurts to do he will customize the plan for how you feel, PT should not hurt! (I know this now) I was ready to give up and just live with the pain everyday for the rest of my life. Saw his ad and decided to go for the consultation, gave him a shot and I am very grateful that I did! I haven't felt this good in years!

Wow! What a difference this program has made in my life! I came without hope, in tears, and felt that the sport that brought me joy in playing and coaching was slowly being taken away from me due to reduced mobility and knee pain from osteoarthritis. I had tried physical therapy before, but Dr. Nick definitely has a different approach, and in my opinion, has found a better way. It is not a cookie cutter, one size fits all approach, but more of a wholistic one in treating my whole leg versus just my knee.

I am able to run and move without pain and I continue to improve each week. I realized last week that since I started working with Dr. Nick 2 months ago, I have complely stopped taking Advil and Aleeve before my activities. Before this program, I had been taking them to relieve pain and inflammation in increasing amounts. I have also completely stopped using my brace. I would highly recommend checking out Gray Duck to regain an active lifestyle that restores joy in your life like I did. Thank you to Dr. Nick and his wife, Ariel, at Gray Duck!

Due to a couple of hip injuries over the years of playing hockey, my hips would be sore from sitting all day, working out, and many other daily activities. When working out, I would shy away from actually using them in exercises that needed them. I had tried physical therapy once before, but the doctor basically gave me stretches then sent me on my way. I decided to try it again with Dr. Nick and my experience was so much better.

Every session was a workout to build up my hip strength and mobility. Not only are my hips stronger and more mobile, but I no longer experience daily pain. Dr. Nick helped me have confidence again in actually using them when working out my lower body. I could not recommend Dr. Nick enough and I am so thankful I went to see him!

I highly recommend Dr. Nick and Grey Duck. First things first - my knee pain has gone away and for this, I am grateful. Dr. Nick is passionate about getting people to feel better. His goal is not to get you return - his No. 1 goal is to get you to feel better. His motivation and intentions are pure - reduce pain and keep it away. It's refreshing to have a health care provider with a authentic attitude and passion about the service they provide. Visits don't feel rushed, and he has answered all my questions.

Each session we review the work I have done myself, then he answers any questions I have and then he makes necessary tweaks and adjustments to the plan. In 6 weeks, (weekly visits) I have so much progress and in my mobility - it's fun to see. I am thankful for Dr. Nick and Gray Duck! They are rock stars!

Went to see Nick because of having shoulder and elbow pain due to working in the trades. Nick was able to identify the cause on the initial meeting and set me up with a plan to eliminate my issues. Very happy with how everything went and was a pleasure working with Nick. Feels great to be able to do my job and live my life now without pain! Highly recommend Gray Duck Physical therapy!

Dr Nick Manning has a well thought out plan of service that allows him to provide the best possible results. He knows what a body is capable of and how to make the it happen. I had ankle joint replacement surgery in November 2020 to allow me to continue to be active without pain. After standard PT I was struggling with intermittent and finally plateaued success in rehabilitation. After 3-4 weeks in Gray Duck PT my foot strength was such that I no longer needed my orthotics.

I can wear whatever shoes I want now! I have seen a marked improvement in mobility and strength. Half way through the program I have hope that I can be continue to be active and enjoy it! Thank you very much!

I want to extend my thanks to Dr. Nick. He has met with me for the past month and I am feeling better. My shoulder was hurting and keeping me up at night. In a few short weeks the pain has reduced and I am sleeping better. I was able to do more weight over head this past week. My knees are the other issue which may take a little bit longer. Again, feeling much better. When you can ask the question, maybe I could have lifted more, you are moving the the right direction. Thanks you Dr. Nick for all your help. I would encourage anyone to give this doctor a try.

Dr. Nick's knowledge and expertise with regards to pain, associated muscle movement, and exercises designed to stimulate those movements is simply remarkable! However, more than that, his care of his patients, as individuals, has been such a huge source of encouragement for me and has further inspired me to continue with my PT, despite a lack of solid motivation on my part, in the beginning of our sessions together. Dr. Nick never stopped working to find a solution to help motivate me to put in the work in order to begin seeing relief from my chronic migraines.

I cannot recommend Dr. Nick and Gray Duck Physical Therapy to anyone who is looking to change the level of pain that they've been experiencing. I assure you, it is 100% worth the time and money that you will invest in yourself!

Nick goes the extra mile to help you find relief from nagging issues. He doesn't ever make you feel like just a number, nor does he give you some predetermined set of exercises. Nick is passionate about what he does, and it shows in the care he gives you.

I have been working with Nick for a couple of months now. I came in with some long standing low grade pain in a few places. Nick has shown me with skill and precision how to retrain movement patterns and build strength in ways that are not only relieving my specific pain but giving me confidence that I can do CrossFit workouts and movements in an optimal fashion going forward.

Nick is really good at teaching and personalizing general concepts in a way that you can understand and apply to the exercises you are working on so that you have confidence that you are doing them well and making progress.

Nick has helped me get my shoulders back to normal! After several months of pain and thinking things would get better on their own, I went to see Nick. After a few in office sessions and adhering to my home exercise plan, I felt huge reductions in my shoulder pain! Im now done with my treatment and my shoulder pain is gone and my shoulder strength and mobility are back! Dont hesitate to meet with Nick. If there is something he can do to treat you, I suspect you will get great results.

Doctor Nick is fantastic.
Hes very knowledgeable and puts the latest research into practice. He also genuinely cares for his patients and is basically as excited as you are to get you functioning well without pain.

I have been going to Gray Duck Physical Therapy for a little over a month, dealing with some old issues in my body. My body is already moving better than it has for years! Nick is very patient and easy to work with. I recommend him to anyone who wants to better their quality of life that deals with mobility issues. He is fantastic to work with!

Nick is a doctor of physical therapy, he is very knowledgable. He is very personable and takes the time to explain what treatment he feels would be beneficial to you. I went to him with bad shoulders and arms from arthritis. I had a great experience. I would highly recommend him, he takes a personal interest in you and he keeps a high level of energy which helps you maintain a positive attitude and motivates you to get better.

Dr. Nick is a fantastic physical therapist! As a former co-worker, I have witnessed firsthand the care and guidance he has provided for his patients, and he goes above and beyond for every single one of them! He is incredibly knowledgeable, and has a great way of breaking things down so that people can more easily understand the mechanics of their body, and how physical therapy can help them live a pain free life! If you are looking for a great physical therapist who will absolutely help you get better, go see Dr. Nick!

I would highly recommend Dr. Nick to anyone that is suffering from pain or just wanting to maintain their body's health. I was having issues with my shoulders and back and from the very first session I was already noticing a difference. He is very knowledgeable and has a great way of explaining exercises and why they are useful/ important. I have learned so much valuable information that I can apply to daily life as well as help me stay active and pain-free!
