"I first met with Dr. Brooke for a running assessment at my gym. I had been having lateral hip and outer ankle pain and was very interested in how I could improve my form and run pain free. After the running assessment, I decided to work with Dr. Brooke and I’m so happy that I did. I have had four sessions so far and have had major improvement in my lateral hip and outer ankle pain. The exercises in combination with dry needling have made all the difference. She has also given me helpful form cues to improve my running form and provided guidance on how to incorporate them safely. Dr. Brooke is organized, explains everything thoroughly, and very professional. It has been amazing working with her and I’m excited to continue making progress. I would highly recommend her!"

"This is definitely a case where 5 stars IS NOT ENOUGH STARS. I would like to give at least 8 STARS!! Dr. Brooke is absolutely everything you want in a PT. Her knowledge base is remarkable and her ability to communicate what is going on, what she is seeing, how and why she is recommending a certain course of treatment is exceptional. She does not try to overwhelm you with unnecessary info just to impress... she talks to you RIGHT where you are at and makes you feel very comfortable and confident with the plan. I moved to Florida recently from NJ where I had a network of trusted PTs ... and I was worried I wouldnt find anyone here. Well, you can forget that worry because Dr. Brooke is without a doubt one of the BEST PTs I have worked with and I feel fortunate I was able to find her! *For reference I am seeing Dr. Brooke for plantar fascitis*"

"I started seeing Dr. Brooke for what turned out to be a hamstring issue. As a runner still new to the sport, she quickly identified areas in my form that could lead to future injuries and gave me clear, actionable tips to improve. After several weeks of practice, I’ve successfully adopted these techniques—and the difference has been incredible. Between the new running form, dry needling, and targeted at-home exercises, my pain is completely gone—even as I steadily increase my weekly mileage! Dr. Brooke also reviewed my training plan and offered valuable feedback, which has me feeling confident and excited to complete my first half marathon this October. I highly recommend Dr. Brooke Shivers to anyone in need of physical therapy or looking to take their running to the next level. She’s flexible with scheduling, truly listens, and somehow makes even the toughest exercises fun. You can tell she genuinely enjoys what she does, and it shows in the results. Thank you, Dr. Brooke!"
