I can't say enough how happy I am with the services Active PT provided for me. I worked with both Megan and Kristen to aid in my postpartum recovery. They really listened to my challenges and helped create a realistic plan to reach my goals. I highly recommend them!

Staff was amazing, both front of house with helping schedule appointments. And with Elizabeth, who worked with my infant daughter. Positive experience all around, I highly recommend Active Physical Therapy of Ishpeming.

I can’t say enough good things about the entire staff at Active Physical Therapy in Ishpeming. Kristin Eden was my primary therapist and I saw Amy and Allyssa as well. What seemed like a never ending process with an injury I never dreamt would become as complex, their care and the changes that took place within my body turned out to a blessing and I’m better for what I thought was a loss of time. Retuning to waitressing after a few weeks, I found the tasks to be easier than ever before! I was so pleased to start up again feeling so strong!! Kristin was so compassionate and encouraging in considering my goals and all aspects of what was causing my pain. I was glad to reach the point to exit the program and I was sent with great aftercare exercises but, I miss seeing all the friendly people and staff! I would not hesitate to send anyone their way!

My experience with active physical therapy was very positive. I got the help that I needed to get past physical pain and the tools I need to strengthen my body. I would highly recommend active physical therapy to anyone looking for help in restoring their activity level.

I came into therapy here at Active with very limited movement in my left hand n severe nerve pain in left shoulder and my hand. I wasn’t able to lift anything heavy, had major trouble tying my shoelaces and washing my silverware. The experience I’ve had here has been amazing. The ladies I had the pleasure of working with have gotten me back to a point where I can tie my shoes, wash my silverware, and have decreased the pain to a manageable level. I now have limited pain in my shoulder and strength in my back. I have been able to lift things I haven’t been able to lift in two years. The women I worked with pushed me when I wanted to give up, and we enjoyed laughing every week. This therapy business has been the best place I’ve been. Please consider Active Physical Therapy as your place for much needed help. You won’t be disappointed.

Active has such kind and thoughtful staff who make your goals their goals. They take the time to listen at each visit, and they really helped solve my shoulder pain. I would (and have) recommend them to anyone even thinking about physical therapy in the Marquette area.

I had a total knee replacement on April 1st. On the first day of physical therapy, I came in with a walker. I finished therapy today, June 5th. The whole staff was so wonderful!!!! I would highly recommend Active Physical Therapy (Ishpeming) to everyone!!!! Thank you so much!

The physical therapists were very helpful. The guidance has helped me very much!

From the moment you enter the office, you are greeted warmly, with plenty of smiles and top-notch service. Every single one of the physical therapists I worked with were knowledgeable and helpful in my recovery. Even when someone had to fill-in for another, the quality never slipped and I received great service. But, I have to admit, that my primary therapist, Cassie (Cassandra), was top-of-the-line in every way. I didn't just do therapy, we had a blast as she helped me learn the things I needed to know to continue my recovery and get stronger. She made it fun, dare I say - enjoyable? I am grateful to her for helping me get back on my feet - literally. I would highly recommend Active Physical Therapy to anyone needing it.

I saw Anna for DRA and JJ for TMJ. Both were awesome docs and people. I saw overnight improvement with my diastisis after Anna walked me through breathing exercises and how to engage my muscles appropriately. I also saw huge improvements in my weightlifting after knowing how to brace appropriately. JJ helped me understand how one imbalance can have a cascading impact. I know how to pay attention to the messages my jaw is sending me and respond with exercises to rebalance things. Would highly recommend.

This was my first PT experience after sustaining a mystery muscle pull. Everyone at Active is very friendly and helpful, and my therapist Paul was great. Hopefully I won’t need to go back any time soon, but I wouldn’t hesitate to.

This has been the most helpful place for recovering. Always happy people and the flexibility they have for scheduling appointments where fabulous. it's nice to have a facility that works with you no matter what your limitations are. Thank you so much for all the help. Mentally and physically.

Went in expecting very little positive results, left with a whole new attitude. The PT’s and PTA’s truly care. They want success and success they achieve!! Thank you!! I’m grateful for the care and success with my rotator cuff issues.

My first experience at Active was in February 2018 after hurting my shoulder at work. During the past 4 years I had the opportunity to use their services after 3 different surgeries. Everyone that I’ve had as a therapist was friendly, knowledgeable and very professional. Would definitely recommend them to anyone needing physical therapy to call them. There support staff is also top notch. Everyone works as a team.

At 62, this was my first experience with physical therapy, and I was very impressed with how knowledgeable and caring the folks are at Active. With their expertise, I not only strengthened and repaired my knee injury, I also learned about the way I walk, my posture, how I favor one leg over the other, all things that probably led to the knee injury in the first place. Now, with the program that I can continue at home and with the knowledge about my physical self that I learned there, hopefully I can prevent further future injuries while maintaining an active life style. Thanks Joel!

Have been doing therapy with Active since high school and the service is still just as great! After a shoulder injury and not being able to do daily activities like normal I started again and after working with Megan for a couple months I can finally do everything without a constant pain in my shoulder! Active physical therapy has given me the tools to use with my workouts on my own to make sure that I can avoid another injury. If I do happen to get injured again and need more physical therapy, there is no place I’d rather go!

Overall a great experience! From the very friendly and helpful front office staff to the the therapist who always provide the best care. Highly recommend!

Went in back in the fall of 2021 with knee and achilles pain. Worked with Joel up until I was discharged and I’ve never felt stronger. No more pain in both of my knee and achilles. I work a job with a very high physical toll and I now feel more adequately prepared for another season of work. Couldn’t recommend this place enough. Joel was great to work with and I see real change in the way i feel and move.

Great people that are fun and willing to help make life better.

Alexis and Brooke were so fun to work with! I really enjoyed going to PT working on my knee and getting me back into running. Sad that my session is done but I would definitely go back again!

I went in with extreme neck pain and also in my shoulder blade that bothered me since summer. 3 weeks of PT cured it 100%. I strongly recommend APT.

I went to Active Physical Therapy in Marquette for treatment of tendonitis in both shoulders. Starting in October of 2021, I just finished and the results have been very impressive. My therapist J.J. (JARRETT) was awesome. I'm 65 and had never been to physical therapy before. I'd highly recommend Active to anybody experiencing joint pain with limited motion!!

Therapists were very attentive and listened to my feedback. They adjusted therapy to address my concerns. Great.

JJ helped me, in the spring, with wrist tendonitis. I appreciated his intelligence and the way he challenged me. During one session, he noticed that my right shoulder was less flexible than my left shoulder and asked about it. I've held tension, since childhood, due to trauma, and although I've worked hard to relieve old fear-related tension, my right shoulder was still restricted. I asked JJ if he thought he could help me. I told him it was a complicated problem that did not involve acute, new shoulder pain. He said he was up for a challenge and let me know that a lot of the work might not be related to my shoulder. Right away JJ called on other physical therapists to help me learn to breathe in a way that is functional and nourishing and to help me release abdominal tension. He astutely evaluated my health as a comprehensive system. I now have a fitness routine that increases my strength and flexibility, and my breathing is productive and nourishing. I also starting working with a wonderful acupuncture practitioner to further assist release of old fear. I feel extremely grateful!
