Reviews

  • "I had been dealing with some balance issues and was referred to CIIB. My PT, Elizabeth, was very knowledgeable and extremely thorough in her assessment and set PT goals to help resolve what I was dealing with. Cody was my PTA I worked with regularly. He was excellent to work with...I was just discharged from PT this past week (yay!). I am so much better and am grateful I was referred to them. Thank you, Elizabeth & Cody!"

They listened to my questions and concerns and provided actionable steps I can take to continue to improve my pelvic floor issues and make sustainable progress. Thank you for your care and compassion and commitment!"
