Jameer Nelson

Sports Broadcaster, NBA All-Star

I've played at the highest level and been around some great trainers, PTs, and coaches. I have recently been doing laser treatment at Primal with JJ and she is right at the top and the best of the best as a PT.

Alberto Robayo

Gracie Jiu Jitsu Black Belt, Owner Miloki Flow Jiu Jitsu/Jiu

My livelihood depends on staying injury free, moving efficiently, staying healthy, and being able to rest and sleep well so I can continue to train and teach Jiu Jitsu. Primal has been imperative in helping me achieve these goals.

Robby Andrews

Professional runner, Olympic athlete

I have gone to JJ for everything from an achilles tear to a tight shoulder. As a member of the 2016 Track and Field US Olympic Team, I value my health above all else, and there is no one I trust with my body more than JJ and Primal Physical Therapy.

Ryan Hurst

Co-owner and program director GMB Fitness; holds black belts in Kendo, Judo, Kempo, and purple belt in BJJ

The fact that she is constantly learning new techniques and refining her skills, JJ is simply the best out there. I live in Japan and she has to treat me remotely, she is still the only person that I want working on me. I can't recommend her enough.

As an active competitor in BJJ in my late 20s, I understand injuries are going to happen but the team at Primal Physical Therapy have been excellent with getting me back on the mats. I typically work with Eric. He really takes the time to understand my activities and goals to personalize my treatment. He is also extremely knowledgeable of the human anatomy and keeps it real by providing honest feedback throughout my treatment. Overall, it is a great experience to work with their team and I highly recommend checking them out.

Great first meeting! JJ took the to learn about me, my background and my goals. She is a skilled professional and very perceptive in her assessments. JJ is a nice person and I look forward to working with her.

Primal is unlike any physical therapy office I’ve ever been to. As athletes themselves, JJ and Eric have the personal experience - in addition to their vast clinical knowledge - to relate to their patients and develop very personalized treatments. For a CrossFit and jiu-jitsu hobbyist, there are no scheduled off-seasons, so I count on Primal to help me stay healthy year round. In addition to being excellent PT’s, JJ and Eric are also great people who I trust wholeheartedly.

Primal Physical Therapy is awesome! Best physical therapy office in the area. I have had many injuries being a professional athlete and Primal PT has helped me recover the fastest and helped keep me out of pain. Months ago I was dealing with a low back injury and thanks to Eric & JJ I am now out of pain. After getting me out of pain they have helped unlock my body and increased my mobility allowing me to achieve a higher level of athleticism. Both Eric & JJ have extensive knowledge of the human body and they both have a heart of gold. They take the time with each patient to assess their situation & address any concerns. Since receiving treatment I have sent many of my friends, family members, and students to Primal Physical Therapy and they all have had an amazing experience. If you are looking for Physical Therapist I would highly recommend JJ & Eric at Primal Physical Therapy.

After one visit I left feeling better physically and mentally, optimistic about a productive recovery plan with Eric. His analysis and treatment was thorough and personalized with plenty of feedback and support along the way. Highly recommended.

Primal Physical Therapy is where you go when you've plateaued in your recovery or when no one else can help you. This has been my experience. I don't know where I'd be without dry needling. It has made all the difference in my recovery! JJ and Eric are the most skilled physical therapists I have ever worked with. They listen and they evaluate the whole person, not just a particular area where the pain is. The pain point is not necessarily the problem point. They have a keen eye in evaluating movement and they go to great lengths to help you recover. I'm so grateful to have found them!

JJ is amazing! We felt better immediately with having a plan for recovery! She is so knowledgeable and took extra time to explain and answer any questions we had.

As a Division I Athlete, my body requires a lot of maintenance. JJ has helped improve my mobility and overall performance through her needling technique and overall expertise. The best in the area!
