"I first started seeing Ryan after suffering pain in both knees (one knee diagnosed with Patellofemoral arthritis) which hindered my active lifestyle. After a thorough assessment, Ryan started a program to systematically strengthen my quads and improve tracking in my knees. 6 months later I can truly say that my normal activities are no longer hindered and I recently went on a five-mile hike over rugged terrain, with no limitations. Thanks Ryan for all your help in getting me back up to speed. I would highly recommend your services to anybody."

"First time user following knee surgery. Completed 6 sessions with Ryan who is very knowledgeable and caring. He showed me numerous exercises that could be continued at the gym or at home once my scheduled sessions were over. The counter staff is also friendly and very proficient at their jobs. You can't go wrong using Premier Upstate."

"I have been working with Keith as my personal trainer for many years. I have had total knee replacement ant total shoulder replacement and I owe my fast recovery first of all to my physical condition, which I credit Keith Williams, and my physical therapist, Mark Murphy, who did an outstanding job with my therapy sessions and getting me back on the golf course in record time in both instances."

"Everyone at Premier is fantastic! I had a foot/ankle injury that made it impossible to walk without severe pain. Dan and Mark not only diagnosed the problem, but the underlying issues that led to it. Maureen was always gracious as she worked around my sometimes crazy schedule to be sure I didn't miss needed appointments. I'm thrilled to be able to move without pain, workout, and play with my kids the way I used to!"

"The staff at Premier Physical Therapy and Personal training are excellent. The front office staff are exceptionally welcoming and take the time to get to know the patients. I’ve had the chance to get to know both Ryan in Physical therapy who was super and helped me make great improvements as well as Mary in Personal Training who helped my mom and was extremely sweet and patient with her. It’s easy to recommend this business - they are all friendly, professional, and experts in their fields. "

"I am so happy my doctor referred me to Ryan at Premier Physical Therapy of the Upstate. I had recurring headaches for many months and thought it might be related to my neck and shoulders. Ryan listened to my concerns and made a plan of action to help me with my headaches. His plan was reasonable and could easily be worked into my busy workday. After three months of following Ryan's plan for target exercise, my headaches were gone. I now know exactly what I need to do for a permanent solution. Ryan and the entire staff were professional and courteous each and every time that I visited. I highly recommend them!"

"Not long ago when I was playing tennis I had a sudden terrible pain in my elbow. I have heard that "tennis elbow " can continue for a long time so I was worried about what might lay ahead. Fortunately I have had a great experience with Mark at Premier before and after my knee surgery and felt confident that he could help me with this problem as well, so I quickly made an appointment with him. I was so glad that I did. A combination of manual therapy in the office and exercises recommended by Mark were amazing at quickly getting me from what could have been a long term problem to a quick recovery instead. Thanks to Mark's knowledge and skill I became pain free within a few weeks. "

" Premier Physical Therapy of the Upstate is awesome. Mark and his staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. I have just finished my therapy and I definitely feel an improvement. Most of my sessions have been with Dan and he is incredible. I have also worked with Mark and he is professional in every sense. Maureen at the front desk is friendly and on top of appointments etc. I would highly recommend Premier to anyone interested in Physical Therapy. This is t third time I have used Premier for different situations and have always been pleased with my results. Mark makes Premier seen like family and it is reflected in his staff. Bravo to all."

"Amazing staff. My back pain was actually more from my hip and they figured this out. Thanks for the exercises to do at home."

"I have worked with Mark in the past and he’s great at getting quick pain relief, Most recently I worked with Ryan. Another excellent experience. We primarily focused on hips. I’m sitting here writing this and that’s a great testament to the results we had as before it was too painful to sit upright; before I would need to fully recline."

"Fantastic results! I took a fall in October 2020 and tore my rotar cuff and was told that I had a bad tear and would need surgery. I also hit my head and suffered a neck injury. My neck doctor referred me to Mark at Premier for my neck and I am amazed at the results. Not only has Mark and his team given me my range back on my neck but I have cancelled the surgery on my shoulder! Mark and Dan have worked on me to give me my life back and also have given me the tools to maintain my physical strength. I am very grateful to Mark and his team! Seriously consider Premier Physical Therapy if you want not only great results but the personal training tools to maintain the level of health that will continue to keep you strong!. I won't go any where else. I drive almost an hour each way and it is so worth it!"

"Mark and Dan have been an incredible blessing to me. After a back injury, I have received personal treatment from each of them. They have worked with me to create an exercise program that will keep me healthy . I highly recommend Premier PT!"

"Great Results! I took a bad fall in October 2020 and tore my rotor cuff and injured my neck. I was scheduled for rotar cuff surgery by a physician at GHS hospital and scheduled an appointment for my neck with an ortho surgeon at ST. Francis who referred me to (" The Best"), Mark at Premier Physical Therapy. So while I was waiting for my rotor cuff surgery, I scheduled a series of appointments with Mark and Dan and I sincerely can not tell you the difference they have made in the healing of my neck and shoulder, so much so that I have cancelled my rotar cuff surgery. The therapy was very targeted to my injury and easily adapted to fit my schedule and my ability. I have had therapy at other facilities before and I must agree with my doctor they are the best! I drive almost an hour each way and I will never go anywhere else. Thank you Mark, Dan and Maureen!"

"I was referred to Premier by my MD for pain in my leg, hip, and glute. After making an appointment I asked my neighbor, who has a Ph.D. in PT and consults with PT clinics around the country about them, and she said they are the therapists that she, herself, uses. Mark and Dan have been great for me. They carefully worked through the obvious suspects and then narrowed it down to the area causing my problem. Over the course of several sessions, Dan developed a home program for me to take with me to help stem off the problem in the future. I feel 100% better now and feel like I can use this course of exercise for the rest of my life. I appreciated the way they listen and the respect they show their clients. The entire staff is friendly and helpful and a pleasure to work with. I recommend them. "

"My problem was healing from a total knee replacement. I felt Mark & Dan at Premier Physical Therapy were with me every step of the way after surgery getting me back to my "normal" self! They guided me with exercises & instructions helping me regain movement , strength & balance. I always felt I was in the very best of care with their professional manner & knowledge . By the time I "graduated" I had reached ALL the goals I had set for myself on my road back to normal, & all the goals they expected of me to accomplish. I couldn't have asked for better care, in a clean, comfortable & safe environment, especially thru out the scary times of COVID. Maureen sailed me smoothly thru the insurance issues & appointment planning. In the future I would never want to put my healing in the hands of any one but the group at Premier Physical Therapy ! I couldn't have been in better hands! "

"My husband and I have been using Premier Physical Therapy for our therapy needs since they first started many years. Their therapists and staff are true professionals - caring, knowledgeable and super effective. We can't say enough good things about them. Highly recommend!"

"I had always been told shoulder surgery was a tough recovery. I suppose it can be if you don't have the Best Physical Therapy care. Mark, has assembled a staff that is wonderful. Before Dan, works with me he goes to the trouble of showing me on his cell phone an anatomical view of the area and discusses exactly what the exercise will accomplish. This is very impressive. My recovery has gone very well thanks to Mark, and his crew. Many thanks to Dan! "

"Best physical therapy ever!! What they have done for me is amazing!!!!"

"As a former patient and someone who works with a personal trainer at Premier on a regular basis I highly recommend the staff to anyone looking for either. They are very knowledgeable and helpful and interested in my well-being. Give Premier a call. You won’t be sorry you did!!"
