I worked with Janie Schneider at the West End location for about five months after moving from DC to Richmond.

I came in to get help with some chronic neck pain I’d been experiencing since April of 2020. Janie and the entire staff at the Center proved to be very knowledgeable, personable, and attentive. The staff pushed me to maintain impeccable form for every work out, and encouraged me as they pushed me to test my limits en route to full recovery.

During my first visit, I told Janie that I had a lot of skepticism about physical therapy because she was the third therapist I had seen in the past year (along with chiropractors and massesuses), and I hadn’t seen consistent improvement. She listened, and proceeded to set me up with a plan that made my pain more manageable and helped me to know exactly how I could take care of myself if pain did re-emerge.

Janie also was extremely responsive and helped me to keep a level head when I had some severe back spasms; she referred me to a walk-in orthopedic clinic to ensure that I got all of the help that I needed. I recommend the Center for Physical Therapy to anyone looking to recover from chronic pain or injuries.

If you like to receive personalized treatment you should choose this place. All staffs and therapists treat you with respect and you provide you excellent care. Unlike other chain therapy centers, you are their patient here and not the visit. This place is great for post op rehab as well as chronic pain. I have been here twice for post knee sugriers and once for overall weakness and I have gained valuable independent after being discharged.
Thank you to Dr. Rafei and his staff.
Sadat J.

Everyone here is wonderful. I couldn’t walk when I first came in due to a motorcycle accident. Now I’m walking without assistance and gaining strength. Everyone that works here is kind and patient.

Over the years I have been to many physical therapy places and none can compare to this place. The staff is friendly and courteous. They show a genuine interest in each patient and are there to make sure you do the exercises correctly. The facility is well maintained and has up to date equipment. Janie, my therapist, listens carefully to you and designs a program suited for your individual needs. They have helped me immeasurably.

After my therapy my condition improved to the extent that I am now back to most of my previous activities. Dr. Rafeei predicted what I should be able to accomplish and he was correct.

Donald D.

Rich and the whole staff are professional, knowledgeable and wonderful to work with. They are certainly assets to your profession and company. Richard Linkonis is a remarkable young man. I would come in hurting, he would take time to comfort and ease my anxiety, and I saw him do this with a lot of patients. As far as I’m concerned, “he’s the Man!” He has compassion, which is unusual as a lot of patients today get run through assembly line.
