"I have been competing in CrossFit at a high level for over ten years. In recent years, my training took a nosedive because of the lingering and mounting pain I was dealing with. I began to think I would have to quit CrossFit, something I love and have built my life around. In comes Dr. Roe... She evaluated my main points of concern, and she helped me discover the root cause of these issues. With her help, I have been able to train and compete again while feeling great. She has taught me so much, and I no longer fear that I will have to live in pain every day."

Mike Martin

"I've been to several physical therapists for different injuries and nagging pains through the years. I've never worked with a PT as thorough or effective as Dr. Roe. She takes her time with her patients, listens, answers questions, and maximizes the appointment time with assessments, treatment, and rehab exercises. The biggest difference I've noticed going to Built PTP is Dr. Roe's commitment to identifying the root cause of my injuries/pain. Dr. Roe sets out a plan to fix/correct the issue and gives you the understanding and tools to prevent them from reoccurring. Physical therapy at Built PTP is a truly different experience. If you've tried physical therapy elsewhere, but didn't have a positive experience, go to Built PTP. Dr. Roe is a master of her craft. Knowledgeable, caring, personable, and attentive."
