“Back on my mountain bike“
"I had a herniated disk in my lower lumbar spine and was really struggling with nerve pain. Alana was so helpful giving me exercises to help alleviate discomfort leading up to my surgery date. Post op I continued to work with her to build core and low back I strength and safely progress into more movements and range of motion. I’m now 3 months post surgery and back on my mountain bike, rock climbing, increasing running, and continuing with strength and conditioning in the gym. Top notch care with Green MTN PT!"

“Came Back Stronger“
"Sarah Paxson is an excellent PT. She has helped so much in identifying issues, looking deeply and intelligently into the whole body and strategizing a plan to help my body recover and move again. I have worked with her over many years on 3 different issues and each time I came back to my beloved activities stronger and more confident. Can't say enough good things about Sarah; her awesome energy, brilliance and intuitive sense of care."

She listens and assesses carefully, providing a purposeful plan that matches my needs and abilities. I not only learn something new about how my body’s functions and movements but am also provided an adaptive plan of home practice. Her gentle, encouraging and informed ways always edify!"

“Worked to get to the root of the issue“
"Sarah and Jennifer are amazing PT's! I've had a chronic injury for over a decade and have tried all forms of therapy to try and resolve it. After just a few sessions, Jennifer helped make significant improvements in my pain level. I finally feel like I've found someone who actually listened and worked to get to the root of the issue, not just the immediate glaring problem. I cannot recommend these women enough!"
Mindy M.
“Stubborn Injury“
"I had a stubborn injury, but I found Green Mountain PT. I finally have relief from my injury. We've worked through a wide range of treatments to find the things that my body responds well to, and built an evolving program for recovery that actually works. I went from intense daily pain that impacted even the smallest everyday activities to running, hiking, and biking with very little pain. They are deeply knowledgeable, supportive, and persistent. I would highly recommend to anyone needing a good PT, especially if you are highly active and want to get back to the sports you love."
