Sculpt U is an amazing concept lead by two of the most dedicated physical therapists in the field. Their willingness to go the extra mile for their patients and their community is unmatched. When I am in pain, there is no other option on the table. You won’t find another company even in the same arena as these guys.
Zach Johnson, PT, DPT, OCS
I have dedicated my life to helping my patients, always putting my own health on the back burner. I have been living with unrelenting chronic neck/back pain for years and thought I was destined to be in pain for the rest of my life. After working with the team at Sculpt U, I now have a new outlook on life, and I am back to doing the things I love with significantly less pain. They take the time to explain and educate their patients along with utilizing the power of touch which I find is lacking in healthcare. I wouldn’t hesitate to refer my patients or anyone else dealing with pain to Sculpt U. Thank you for my life back.
Dr. Barbara Stegmann, M.D., PhD
As a urologist focusing on men’s health for over 25 years, I have dealt with a vast array of patient illnesses. The number of patients with associated sports injuries of all types and at all ages has steadily increased, although low back pain seems to be one of the most common complaints. Getting my patients into a well-supervised and strategically designed exercise program is imperative to their having a successful outcome and overall sense of well-being. Sculpt U provides a unique service that is simply not found anywhere else. It focuses on a true holistic approach that puts the patient’s needs first — something that I wholeheartedly support. Sculpt U is creatively far ahead of its peers and is a medical service that I will regularly recommend for my patients.
