A knee injury stopped my training 2-months out from the Lakefront Half Marathon.

This place has been amazing to deal with! I had a back injury that practically immobilized me and Dr. Jordan had me up and moving in no time. Hands down, I recommend them to everyone that has mobility or back issues.

Dr. Eric is a wizard with the dry needling! The accuracy of exactly where the trouble spots are shows his knowledge of how a body works. His understanding that muscles/joints/spines/bones all contribute and need to be addressed together to fix a problem is so important. His goal is to get you fixed up and out the door. Very happy with his expertise.

I started the Onero (heavy lifting) program (https://www.wiscopt.com/lakecountry) a year ago to help manage my osteoporosis and osteopenia, alongside making some important lifestyle changes—including focusing on adequate daily calcium and protein intake, and starting a low-dose HRT five months ago. The results have been empowering and incredible. My latest scan showed a significant improvement in my spine, moving from a -3.1 (osteoporosis) to a -2.2 (osteopenia), while my hip density remained stable. Additionally, my bone quality (trabecular bone density) improved from mid-degraded to normal! Our trainer, Mark, monitors everyone closely to ensure we lift safely and maintain good posture. He is constantly looking for additional ways to help, support, and educate us. Also, the groups are small and personal. We are so fortunate to have this program available in Wisconsin. A massive thank you to Mark and all the dedicated practitioners who went through the training and certification to support those of us dealing with osteoporosis and osteopenia. I couldn't recommend this program more!

A knee injury stopped my training 2-months out from the Lakefront Half Marathon. Dr Jordan Ganther set a personalized care plan that had me back to training a couple of weeks later and confidently running the Half this weekend. He surpassed my expectations for short term care and helped set a plan to continue strengthening my knees, hips, and ankles long term. 11/10 recommend.

Drs. Jordan and Steve are incredibly talented and excellent professionals. They were thorough in their initial examination of my condition and recommended a treatment protocol for me that yielded positive results from my first visit. My shoulder pain lingered for a number of years and I tried several different treatments with very little success. I saw incremental progress throughout the treatment. Thank you Drs. Jordan and Steve. Your staff are also remarkable and exceptionally professional.

​The best sign of a good PT is that you don't have to come in as much anymore and that is exactly the case with Dr. Erik. He has been treating me for 2 years now and he has completely cleared up my back pain. He is easily the go-to choice for a top-tier PT in Wauwatosa. I can't recommend Dr. Erik enough

I’ve seen Dr. Erik on and off for the last few years at the Wauwatosa location and he is an incredibly personable and professional physical therapist who has helped me with a whole host of ailments. His treatments are highly effective - he is especially talented with dry needles - and every single time I walk out the clinic door, I feel like a new man. I truly cannot recommend Dr. Erik enough for anyone looking for exceptional care. If you're looking for the most talented physical therapist in Milwaukee, Dr. Erik is the only logical choice.

10/10 experience! I was referred here by my orthopedic doctor for a torn rotator cuff and Dr. Jordan Ganther was awesome! Within the first two sessions I saw major improvement in my mobility. Each of my appointments I was given easy and useful exercises to continue my progress at home as well as providing the resistance bands to rebuild my strength. And the front desk staff is so helpful and made scheduling super easy! I couldn’t recommend this practice more!
