Patient Testimonials
I am back to a normal lifestyle, which includes riding my indoor bicycle trainer and working out daily.
Thought I would send a “thank you” to you and your staff for helping me out with my back pain. I must admit when I first came into your office, I did not believe that you could do anything for me; however, thought I would give you a chance. After only three treatments and your advice on daily exercises, I am back to a normal lifestyle, which includes riding my indoor bicycle trainer and working out daily.

Listen to them and you will be amazed. Thank you!
This is the only place to go if you want to get better. After two surgeries for a ruptured Achilles tendon and 5 years of therapy at a DIFFERENT location. I had all but given up that I would ever be free of pain and able to walk without a limp. Then I found JPT. JPT is the ONLY place to find health. Listen to them and you will be amazed. Thank you!

Every single person I worked with was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable.
After having lumbar spinal surgery in the summer of 2018, I was very stiff and had a limited range of motion. Daily tasks such as sitting, cleaning, and driving were difficult and painful. After coming to JPT and working with Bekah for 4 months, I am able to work full time, go for long walks, and complete daily tasks as normal. My experience here has been nothing short of fantastic! Every single person I worked with was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable.

I would recommend Johnston Physical Therapy to anyone that wants quality care!
I had left knee replacement surgery on July 16, 2018, which was my second left knee surgery in a year. My knee was terribly swollen after my surgery and I had excruciating post-surgery and nerve pain. I want to thank Bekah for seeing me through my treatment and I owe her a lot! Bekah gave me my life back and I would recommend Johnston Physical Therapy to anyone that wants quality care!
- Dave M.
Great people and would highly recommend to anyone experiencing pain.
After working with Alyssa, Grant, and Patrick, my hip and leg have improved significantly. They were all pleasant and fun to work with. Not to mention knowing exactly what to do to relieve my pain. Great place, great people and would highly recommend to anyone experiencing pain.
- Larry T.
I am so thankful for them and all that they have done.
Today, I can truly say that all the therapy I received from Johnston Physical Therapy has made me feel almost 100% better. With the variety of exercises with elastic bands, balancing activities, stretching, and working with weights I am so thankful for them and all that they have done.

I had the privilege of working with Colton after a few of my surgeries. He was amazing working with my foot, bicep, knee & achilles! Colton was excellent from a personal & professional standpoint. He pushed me hard enough to help get me to my individual goals in a timely manner! The appointments were always enjoyable due to his friendly/funny banter. I would highly recommend Colton Schnetzer & Elevate Physical Therapy!
- Dave B.
Elevate Physical Therapy is the place to go if you need help moving again without pain! PT Joe Stangl is an all around great therapist! Joe quickly assessed my issue, educated me on what was going on and then provided me with a slow but steady strategy to get me out of pain and to get my muscles in the right places working again, putting me back on the road to recovery! I am so grateful! Joe and all the staff @ Elevate PT are really nice and exude a positive, can do spirit! Thanks to Joe and Elevate PT.

I recommend Elevate Physical Therapy to anyone with pain. As soon as I walk in the door, I am treated special. The office personnel and staff are very pleasant and professional. My Physical Therapist (Andrew Bartek) is very caring and very knowledgeable. He explains how the function of each exercise will strengthen my lower back and hips. He monitors to make sure I perform each exercise correctly. I’m now pain free and back on the Pickleball Court.Thank you.
- Joan A.
Thank you to the staff of Elevate Physical Therapy for making my visits fun and informative and pain-free! Tamie always explains why she is having me do a specific exercise and then monitors me to be sure I am doing it right. As a nurse, I want to know the benefit of different movements and how the treatment will impact my outcome. Tamie, you rock! Thanks for making this such a positive experience!!!
- Janet H.
I highly recommend Elevate Physical Therapy in Johnston and especially Physical Therapist Bekah Wetter! She helped me recover my flexibility and mobility after a painful Sciatica episode. This group stands “head and shoulders” above any physical therapy group out there. Everyone from their front office staff to all the physical therapists are very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. I can’t imagine better care anywhere else!
- Kimberly B.
I would not go anywhere else but Elevate whenever I'm in need of physical therapy.
Elevate Physical Therapy does a fantastic job. I’ve had nothing but positive experiences there — wonderful and welcoming interactions with the front office staff, the PT assistants and the physical therapists. Since October of 2020 I’ve been there for at least three different sports-related issues and, most recently, treatment following a car accident. Bekah Wetter is the PT I’ve seen each time, and she is terrific! Each time she has quickly identified my issue and effectively treated it. I would not go anywhere else but Elevate whenever I’m in need of physical therapy.

I plan to refer people who need physical therapy to JPT for all that they can do.
The people at Johnston Physical Therapy are some of the nicest, professional, and encouraging people in the field I have met. Without the encouragement to begin building muscle, I may have been on a path to be back for more therapy later in the year with my half marathon training, but now I know I can’t just run, I need to strength train to remain injury free. I plan to refer people who need physical therapy to JPT for all that they can do.
- Stephanie B.
You will always be greatly appreciated!
I simply wanted to say a big, “Thank you” for all you did to help both Deb and I recover from our respective maladies. Your collective smiles, attitudes, and encouragement were amazing…And even helped me forget all the torture! You all helped me through a difficult time and your kindness and “can do” attitude has really meant a lot. You will always be greatly appreciated!
- Jim and Deb
I went to Johnston Physical Therapy after a fall resulting in a hip replacement (back). I started with very limited movement. My Physical Therapist (Bryan) was amazing. He helped me work thru all my limitations as well as helping me gain strength. None of the activities were too much for me. He was professional, personal, knowledgeable, and creative with addressing every challenge I had. The entire staff was professional and efficient. I highly recommend this facility.
- Susan G.
I had an awesome experience. Making an appointment was easy and I was always greeted warmly with an on-time start to my treatment. My therapist, Joe S., was thoughtful, friendly, and always gentle and caring. He carefully laid out plans to improve my shoulder mobility and always took time to explain why and what to expect. I am now pain free with full range of motion and I couldn’t be happier!
- Linda M.
I went to Johnston Physical Therapy for pain in my hip and shoulder. Both had been treated by my chiropractor for some time with limited success. After just three visits the hip showed remarkable improvement. However the shoulder took a little longer. Bekah was my therapist. She listened to my complaints and got right to work. She was very thoughtful, very professional, very understanding, and very patient with me. We tried various exercises and found ones that really helped. I would highly recommend Elevate Physical Therapy to everyone. My success was a life saver.

My time spent with Johnston Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine was over the top!
I had been experiencing low back pain for several months before finally seeking medical advice and was referred to the Johnston facility.
My Physical Therapist, Colton Schnetzer, a very pleasant and knowledgeable young man, met with me on my first visit and quickly determine an appropriate exercise regimen specific to my needs. Colton made my visits fun as well as meaningful. I appreciated his very easy going and relaxed style, the way that he would always patiently explain how each exercise should be correctly performed and how and why it would help relieve my specific pain, He also recommended optional exercises. specific to my needs, that I could do to change it up so as not to become bored with the same routine. Over my 8 visits, and by diligently doing my assigned exercises at home, I am, once again, pain free!
I also wish to comment on how welcoming and friendly the entire Johnston Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine staff is – they greet everyone who walks in the door with a smile and by name and the entire atmosphere throughout the facility is comfortable and refreshing.
I highly recommend Johnston Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine.- Jane L.
I can’t say enough good things about my experience here. They’re very professional and have made coming to their facility as safe as possible during these COVID times. I was pretty miserable when I started here and want to give special thanks to Brian for helping me immensely. I would highly recommend.
- Paula W.
I went to Elevate PT after having back surgery and had the best experience with Grant. We worked on a plan to get me back to physical activity and couldn’t be happier with the care and service.
- Kylie W.
Best physical therapists in the Ankeny area. I highly recommend Grant to anyone in need of an amazing therapy experience. He is fully invested in your health and well being and will do everything possible to get you back to normal. The office is very clean, organized and inviting.

They form a link between you, your progress, and your doctors.
I have had several chances to do physical therapy at a variety of clinics and I realize that Johnston Physical Therapy is the best. I have found JPT to be caring, flexible and they listen to you. They form a link between you, your progress, and your doctors.

I look forward to hitting the trails this spring.
Going to JPT was the best choice I have made in a long time. I only wish I would have found them sooner. Through each treatment and my individualized care plan I feel better than I have in a long time. I’ve been able to rejoin the gym and I look forward to hitting the trails this spring.

His one on one treatments were by far better than anything I had experienced previously.
I dreaded that first appointment but Grant did make me feel relaxed and explained everything we would be doing. His one on one treatments were by far better than anything I had experienced previously.

For me, physical therapy beats other methods hands down! Thanks, JPT!
One month and counting of a pain-free life. This is all thanks to the therapists and support staff at your office. My back pain has been completely relieved. Also, I’m stronger and more flexible than before. For me, physical therapy beats other methods hands down! Thanks, JPT!
- Larry G.
I couldn't be doing the things that I enjoy!
Thanks to everyone for helping me get back into playing sports that I really enjoy. Extremely friendly staff and just a great atmosphere to be in. Without their help and support, I couldn’t be doing the things that I enjoy!
- Joe C.
I am treated like family by everyone at Johnston Physical Therapy.
As a 28-year high school coach, I have been very impressed with JPT’s effectiveness in training and rehabbing my athletes. But as a patient rehabbing a serious knee injury, I couldn’t be more satisfied with my personal experience here. The office staff works hard to make your insurance work for you; my physical therapist is very knowledgeable and educated. The entire staff makes the effort to get to know me and how I am motivated. I am treated like family by everyone at Johnston Physical Therapy.

I was able to still be recruited for college football and able to play for Iowa State.
Just before my senior year of high school, I tore my ACL during a football practice. The doctors had assumed that I wasn’t supposed to be able to play for the entire season because of such a long healing time. But thanks to my therapists at Johnston Physical therapy I was able to make a quick recovery from the surgery and play in the last 5 games of that season. I was able to still be recruited for college football and able to play for Iowa State.
