"Dr. Tancini was great to work with! He listened to my goals and worked with me and my schedule to help achieve them. My PT program was personalized to my needs and my ability level. He's very experienced with patients from a lot of different backgrounds, and his personal experience as an athlete gives him a unique perspective on physical therapy. He uses every tool in the PT toolbox to help you get back and be stronger than ever. He places an emphasis on moving the right way, rehabbing the right way, and optimizing all of the components of your health. He was also honest with me about expected timeline and results, which was really helpful. Would definitely work with him again!
Doug B.
"I came to Dr. Tancini with crippling back pain that visits to the orthopedic surgeon and multiple shots to the spine could not resolve. As someone who works out all the time, I was so relieved when in the matter of weeks I was pain free and able to begin working out again. I can't recommend him enough."
Real results from real people—just like you.
