I can’t recommend Nicholas (Nick) Schumacher enough—especially for long-distance runners. After my first ultramarathon, I had a few lingering injuries, and Nick not only helped me recover but also gave me a smart, personalized plan to prevent future issues. His expertise as both a physical therapist and experienced runner is unmatched. He’s responsive, professional, and makes me feel like a valued client every step of the way.

I can say with confidence that Nick is the most knowledgeable, committed, and personable Physical Therapist I have had the chance to work with. I am an Infantry Branched Cadet in the Army, so physical fitness is very important to me, and two years ago I tore a disk in my back while deadlifting. I was near immobile, and the only workout I could manage without pain was light swimming. After a short couple of months working with Nick, I was able to deadlift, run, and return to normal daily activities without pain. I could not be more grateful for his help both during our sessions and outside of them as well when I needed to ask him questions. I absolutely recommend him to anyone wanting to get healthy again!

While deployed I suffered a back injury from a vehicle accident. I had been accepted to flight school but now I worried I would be disqualified and medically retired. Other PTs were unable to help but Dr. Nick was able to get me back on track.

When I first saw him I was unable to walk and unable to bend over. By the time I was discharged I was back to running, deadlifting, and squatting. I’m back on track to achieve my life goals.

Dr. Nick Schumacher is a superstar. I couldn’t recommend him enough.

Nick was always professional, personable, and energetic. Best physical therapy experience ever. He not only gets you healed but focuses on strength training as well.

Nick is just awesome! This man is funny, encouraging, professional, smart, and friendly. He has attacked my multiple ailments in different ways and motivates me to get better. I have used other physical therapy places before, but this is by far the best one yet! From 1-10, I give him a 24!!

Manuel Q.

Nick is absolutely amazing. He’s more like a friend that you work out with rather than being in physical therapy. I highly recommend him!
