What are people saying?

  • From the moment I met Michelle, I was met with warmth and professionalism. She immediately put me at ease with her friendly demeanor and thorough understanding of the shoulder rehabilitation process. She crafted a personalized treatment plan that addressed my specific needs and continually adapted it based on my progress. She not only guided me through a series of targeted exercises, but also took the time to educate me and help me understand the importance of each movement. What ultimately sets Michelle apart is her genuine commitment to her patient’s well-being. She not only focused on the physical aspect of my recovery but also took into account my emotional and mental state. She provided constant encouragement, answered all my questions, and celebrated every small victory with me. I would recommend Michelle to anyone who hopes to receive the highest level of care on their road to recovery.

  • Michelle Compty was my PT Professional for a pretty serious ankle injury from a water skiing accident. I worked with Michelle for almost a year, before and after my surgery. I have nothing but excellent things to say about my treatments and sessions with Michelle. At my 50+ age I didn’t think I would ski again but with Michelle’s amazing expertise, care, and support I am back skiing, hiking, and doing the things I love. Michelle is truly a master at her profession and an expert at biomechanics, body interconnections, and applying appropriate therapy that will get you back in action. She incorporates all the aspects of treatment and care from soft tissue work, dry needling, stretching, strengthening, agility and balance (the agility and balance exercises were truly amazing). She will challenge you in a creative way, and you will enjoy the therapy sessions while making excellent progress along the way. If you have aches, pains, or you just want to get back to doing the things you used to do, Michelle will figure out a way to make you better in a great way. She is an accomplished athlete (Marquette Soccer, Triathlete, etc.) and knows about the demands on the body for sports, injuries, and recovery. She is overall, an incredibly nice person with a cordial and witty personality, but also a dedicated physical therapist with your best interests in mind. Lastly, Michelle establishes a great relationship with her clients whether you are an elite high school athlete or an aging weekend warrior like me (I have witnessed her camaraderie with all types of patients). Her personality makes sessions enjoyable, challenging and rewarding and I guarantee you will look forward to your sessions with her!

  • After I sustained a few traumatic injuries, I was fortunate to locate Michelle Compty as my physical therapist. Michelle was thorough in evaluation and professional in creating a recovery program designed for me. Each session was unique to my ability, creative in execution and delivered improvements to my body. Whether you need gentle tissue work, advanced range of motion, or exercises for recovery or strength improvement, Michelle will do the homework for you. I cannot endorse Michelle enough.
