This is a special place with wonderful people! Life-changing therapies and care! I'm not even really sure how to write a review when they've quite literally helped bring my daughter back to us! After a year of trying to find answers, we went to Eric Dekle for vestibular therapy and Erica Dekle for physical therapy for our daughter. The vestibular therapies and program Eric Dekle created has been the only thing that moved the needle and our daughter is walking, moving her head, going up and down stairs, entering buildings and crossing streets again! She's not home bound anymore! We could never imagine her vestibular system could cause so much distress. For physical therapy, Erica Dekle is helping her strengthen her body after months of inactivity due to vertigo. Our daughter is walking with more confidence and we can never thank them enough for helping our child. They are so good with her! Our family is enternally grateful for the care and dedication they've provided to our whole family. They are professional and kind and VERY knowledgeable.

In fact, everyone at CBR are very helpful and seem happy to be there. Highly recommend.

I cannot recommend her enough! She is incredibly personable, caring, and genuinely invested in helping her patients. She consistently goes above and beyond, including taking the time to research things specifically related to my individual needs rather than just taking a one-size-fits-all approach. I started seeing her during pregnancy for severe pelvic girdle pain and instability. At my worst, I could barely get around even with a walker, and she has helped me get to the point where I’m walking independently again with SO much less pain. The difference in my mobility and quality of life has been incredible. I’m so thankful I found her and would recommend her without hesitation!

Absolutely loved coming here for pelvic floor therapy. Everyone is super friendly and Erica and Emily are the best! They listened to my concerns and created a plan for me specific to my needs. Also appreciated that each of my appointments were actual thorough appointments, not just 15 minute visits. If you need pelvic floor PT, I highly recommend seeing them!

I have been seeing Erica for pelvic floor therapy after years of unexplained issues. Erica has been so informative and helpful in explaining different imbalances and how to correct them. I have seen such an improvement in my overall mobility and previous concerns. Highly recommend for all women!
