“I recommend Lauren Atkins and GWP Physical Therapy for any obstacle that is impeding your athletic or everyday movement. I had a 10 year old shoulder injury. The painful shoulder would wake me up at night, wouldn’t allow me to reach behind the car seat to grab the seat belt and would limit anything I tried to do overhead. Lauren masterminded my rehab and I am now 100% pain-free and functional. Lauren is brilliant, funny and just plain awesome!!! Go see her.” – Kellie Jo Dunlap, MMSc, PA-C, LMT

“I went to GWP after injuring my back in a car accident and I was so glad I did! Before PT, back pain prevented me from cooking, cleaning, sleeping, and exercising. Rachel Peck was my physical therapist and she was amazing! She is a great listener, incredibly smart, and goes the extra mile for her clients. She gave me the tools to live pain-free and after 6 months my lifestyle has improved dramatically. GWP is a great facility full of kind, world-class professionals. I highly recommend GWP Physical Therapy to anyone being held back by back pain or any other physical limitations.” – Michael Cohn

“Not only is Lauren an amazing Physical Therapist, it actually costs me LESS to pay her out of pocket than to go through my insurance. Yes, LESS! Around $40/session less. She has helped me through an ailment, followed up with me, given me great advice. She truly is interested in helping people get better, faster. I can’t say enough great things about her, her work, her compassion, and her pricing. Incredible.” – Kelly McNeal
