Came here for PT for work related injury! Dave Andrews and other staff are amazing. You can see that they care, and want to get you back to “normal” in a healthy, sustainable way. Would recommend to anyone that needs Physical Therapy.

Andrea at the front desk was phenomenal. Always made me feel at ease. Was always so helpful. All the lady's at the front desk were amazing. Brandon my PT was hands down the best PT I've ever had in my entire life. I came in with a work injury and he helped me so much throughout the process. Not just with the injury but with the mental challenges it posed as well. Always friendly. We had great conversations. Excellent listener and very attentive. I really can't say enough about him, I could go on and on. He was made for this profession no doubt about it. Just and excellent human being, one of the best people in general I have ever met. Had the best experience one could have at this place. I highly recommend their services.

I have been a client for several years, for multiple different issues.They have an amazing ability to explain exercises clearly and their encouragement really helped me push through tough days. I'm so grateful for how they tailored my treatment plan to my specific needs, and make me feel like I'm finally back to doing the things I love because of their help. They are an outstanding team of therapists with a strong dedication and guidance that they give to all of their clients. Last but not least, I’d like to rave about their office staff as well. They are always so very helpful and kind. They all make you feel like you matter. I wish to thank all of them for their dedication and kindness.

My husband was sent to North Idaho Physical Therapy and was fortunate enough to be assigned to Matt Bray. Matt is the best! Very likable and he knows exactly what a person needs. When I had hand surgery in Dec 2024 and needed 2 months of therapy I knew exactly where I would go, and who I would ask for. Matt is now my therapist as well. Because of Matt, I am making progress after having the hand in a cast for 6 weeks. I can’t say enough good things about Matt, his great personality, and the knowledge that he has. I would recommend him to anyone that needs a great therapist in a pleasant environment. The employees all seem to be happy working here as well.

Matt Hankes was my Physical Therapist, and he is amazing. He is very friendly and listened to all my concerns as I worked to strengthen my leg after my accident. He is very knowledgeable and helped me recover from my injury. He was always working with me for my entire appointment. I appreciate everything he has done to help me be pain free. I always had positive interactions from the time I was greeted at the door to the time I left my appointment.
