Carla Thomas Physical Therapy

One-on-One, Personalized Physical Therapy

Pain reduction, movement optimization, functional strengthening. We are determined to help you improve your quality of life through movement. Our bodies were made to move. When movement is restricted due to pain, dysfunction or fatigue, there are physical and mental consequences that limit you from being your true self. Let us help! We bring years experience of hands-on, manual physical therapy, mobility/stability training and neuromuscular re-education to address your unique body.

At Carla Thomas Physical Therapy, we commit completely to designing the comprehensive therapy plan that you need to reach your goals, whether that be setting a personal record for an Olympic lift or being able to walk to your mailbox without pain, improving your mile pace or muting the ache that won’t let you sleep at night. We will use our extensive and eclectic experiences to find a solution to your problems. We strive for honest customer service, with on-going, open communication in order to provide you with the best care possible; and if that care is beyond our skill set, we will refer you on to the right person.

    — LATASHA KELTNER, MA, LPC

  • “Carla has been instrumental in my recovery. Her technique with the needling and muscle manipulation have allowed me to stay active and work through my issues with my knees and shoulders. She has a very calming bedside manner and is always willing to listen and give instruction to help with the betterment of her patients. ”

    — CHAD HAMILTON, CROSSFIT ATHLETE

  • “Carla really “cares” about what you are feeling and discusses different approaches on how to treat you. I personally used her a lot because she is certified and trained to do the dry needling treatment which most therapy companies do not even offer let alone have anyone that can perform it to the experience level that Carla has. I have severe spine issues and Carla was able to relieve a lot of the pain and loosen the “ropes” (that is Carla’s definition) that I had in my tissue. Please don’t go to the big guys and get treated like cattle. Do yourself a favor and be treated by someone who really cares about you and use Carla and be treated like a patient.”

    — BRUCE MATUSZAK

  • "Wonderful clinic!! Both Carla and Robert have excellent knowledge and skill to help and heal. This is a fantastic place with friendly/helpful office staff."

    -Meredith Astrup

  • "Carla Thomas Physical Therapy offers great service. Carla and Robert are highly skilled at diagnosing a problem and finding creative solutions to the problem. They include the patient by asking where they are having difficulty and then come up with appropriate therapy to meet those needs. My husband has had significant benefit from the provided therapy services. We highly recommend Carla Thomas Physical Therapy."

    -Jane P.

  • "Carla is the tops. I've seen her for some leg/quad/IT band pain, and she used an array of modalities to treat it. Strengthening, stretching, dry needling, etc. She is knowledgeable, skilled, and experienced - one of the best I've ever seen. In addition to having excellent clinical skills, Carla also has a healing and nurturing component that is absent in a lot of healthcare professionals. I felt cared for and safe during my treatments with her. I live in the city, and I made it a point to go out to her location because she is the best."

    -Michael Shin

  • “Carla is fantastic! She healed my shoulder so quickly after I injured it. Her techniques of massage and dry needling really helped speed up the healing process. I’m so thankful she was there to help me. I highly recommend her to anyone needing help with pain or injury. ”

    -Jenny Spencer, CrossFit Athlete

  • "This was my first time at PT. I saw all three PT’s. I did dry needling with Robert for my shoulder. Stiffness I had for years was gone after 3 sessions. I play pickelball, and am happy to say I am back on the court."

    -Nancy T.

  • "I had a great experience with Robert. He was always understanding, willing to educate, friendly, and helped me with the areas that were hurting. I came in with a lot of shoulder, trap, and arm pain. He was patient and showed me ways to improve my strength to avoid the issue. I feel empowered to care for my body and use the proper form now. Thanks Robert!"

    -Andria
