    I was referred to Brian Magna by an orthopedic specialist about 10 years ago.  Brian and the staff at Magna Physical Therapy and Golf Medicine have helped me to rehab my way back from two painful injuries. When it comes to physical therapy, there is no one I trust more than Brian Magna."

    After years of wear and tear, I had continuously struggled with chronic lower back pain.  It wasn't until I met with Brian and set up a personal fitness program including Pilates, stretching, and core strength that I truly felt healthy and free from pain.

  • Bob Maxon
    After my first knee scope, I didn't do any rehab at all and I've always felt that my knee is only 85% of what it should be. This time around (on the other knee) I did intensive rehab with Brian and his staff and I feel 110%. I'm able to transfer my weight to the left, getting off my right side for the first time in years, eliminating my push! I'm able to generate so much more power now compared to before my surgery and rehab.
