My experience at First Settlement Physical Therapy was excellent. My PT and PTAs were professional and focused on my recovery. Their focus combined with an effective personal approach, provided the support that I needed to reach my goals after my total knee replacement. Another part of the program that was beneficial, was providing me instruction and support for my at home Physical Therapy. My experience was such that I highly recommend First Settlement.Posted on Google![]()

I had physical therapy (PT) done on my shoulder at the First Settlement Physical Therapy (FSPT) in Athens, Ohio. I am very satisfied with the care provided to me and would gladly recommend this facility to anyone who needs PT. Dr. Curtis Sykes evaluated and treated my shoulder. His treatment that included massage of shoulder greatly improved my shoulder mobility. For the last few years, I was unable to straighten my left arm; his treatment restored my ability to straighten my arm. Dr. Curtis is an experienced and highly competent professional with great bedside manners. Caroline, a PT doctoral student and Skylar, a PTA, helped me with my PT exercises. Both were professional, friendly and very caring. During the twice-weekly visits for eight weeks, I was also able to observe other PT providers at this facility. I saw each one of them working diligently in a very caring manner. I also appreciate Marla at the front desk for her help in scheduling my visits and her friendly and caring attitude. I summary I would say we are lucky to have Dr. Sykes leading the FSPT in Athens, Ohio. He and everyone at the FSPT is providing great PT services to the patients in Athens and surrounding areas.Posted on Google![]()

After the reconstruction of my 5th metacarpal I feared I would never be able to fully use my hand again. But because of the months of time and work put in by my physical therapists, I am back to full range of movement in 4 months. I can't thank you all enough for the patience and kindness you showed me throughout my healing. You all made me feel welcomed and that you truly cared about my well-being all throughout my time with First settlement physical therapy, I will definitely be recommending this office to any of my friends or family with physical therapy needs, thank you for everything. ~ Ava W :)Posted on Google![]()

Athens FSPT has been my sole experience with physical therapy, and I firmly believe it’s the only place I’ll ever go. They effortlessly transition between patients, ensuring that each one receives personalized attention without feeling rushed, even during peak hours with double-booked appointments. They offer flexibility with appointments to accommodate my schedule. They collaborate effectively, mentor interns, and offer specialized certified procedures like dry needling. Throughout my time there, I’ve had the privilege of working with several exceptional physical therapists and physical therapy assistants. However, I must express my deepest gratitude to Brittany and Jackie. They are an incredible team that has dedicated themselves to addressing the intricate issues I’ve been grappling with regarding my Achilles tendon. Their approach goes beyond mere symptom treatment; they actively work to identify and resolve the underlying causes. Thank you, Brittany and Jackie, for consistently making me feel like a valued and cherished patient.Posted on Google![]()

I was served by Curtis Sykes and his staff and they were wonderful. Always professional, efficient, caring, and helpful.

FSPT provides an unmatched combination of expert treatment, earnest care, and positive connection.

Had a tough time finding a place to help with herniated disc recovery and IT band issues. From my first session at FSPT I had a personalized and targeted plan that helped me to resume normal activity, exercise, and strength training. They were essential in helping me regain confidence and learn the proper techniques to protect vulnerable muscles and address any weakness. I cannot recommend them enough.Posted on Google![]()

Highly professional therapy always with a contagious element of youthfulness and light heartedness. Well trained therapists are all beautiful and fit and friendly. (Including the guys). I’m a 76 year old fellow with an hip replacement. First Settlement of Athens brought this old body to a state of fitness and flexibility that I haven’t seen in years. Note: the high open ceilings make things a bit noisy at times. This did not bother me. Thank you Kurt and company. Most grateful I am. May the force be with you.Posted on Google![]()

I had been to another PT facility for my shoulder and was told it was as good as it was going to be.... But then I went to First Settlement. Everyone there is wonderful, but Mara and Jackie are amazing. They tailor each session to your specific situation and needs, are creative and innovative in approaches, and are just plain fine people. I have "graduated" with an amazing shoulder improvement, and now am starting work with them on another issue. I have recommended First Settlement to everyone I meet looking for smart, effective and helpful PT. They are terrific.Posted on Google![]()

Dr. Jeff Cowen at FSPT provides truly elite-level physical therapy. Following an old fracture and surgery, I struggled with ankle and hip pain and limited mobility. Jeff applied precise mobilizations (of which few therapist have the required strength to move a talus surrounded by plates and screws) and tailored exercises that have significantly improved my movement and function. I’m now able to return to my sport and daily physical activities with less pain a stiffness. Including hitting triangle submissions in jiu-jitsu, that I simply could not do before thanks to Jeff!. I highly recommend Jeff and the FSPT team for anyone seeking exceptional results.Posted on Google![]()

My husband had shoulder surgery on October 15, 2024 in Athens, Ohio. At the recommendation of his surgeon, he started physical therapy at First Settlement Athens during the 2nd week following his surgery. It has been an amazing journey of rehab, and we are very thankful for the caring and highly-qualified staff who guided him through the process. As of today, February 4, he has "graduated." We are both thrilled with the amazing progress he made in regaining his strength and his range of motion. Thank you, First Settlement staff!! We will miss seeing your friendly faces, but, so happy to have reached his goals!Posted on Google![]()

I've been to a few other PT places in town and this BY FAR has been the best.

He has a strategic approach and is good at communicating the plan (and is open to adjusting/personalizing it as needed). Everyone I worked with throughout my recovery process was friendly, professional, and caring. Recovery can be frustrating and having a PT who is supportive and understanding is extremely important.
