  • "Graham is the best physical therapist I have ever had. Words are not enough to express how grateful I am to Graham for all that he has done for me. After 2 knee surgeries and being told I could never be active again, Graham has helped me reach a point I never thought was possible. Now for the first time in 4 years, not only am I walking pain free but have even started running! GRB Fitness is the place to go!"

    Reagan Youngblood

  • "I have had shoulder and lower back problems for about 2 years now and have been seeing Graham for PT. After attending sessions for roughly 5 months I have had a tremendous recovery. Barely any shoulder pain and my lower back is significantly better than before. I highly recommend reaching out because he is awesome and extremely helpful, especially if you are an athlete!"

    Ben Lennon

  • "I am currently a physical therapist and had the chance to do one of my last rotations in PT school alongside Graham and he’s the man! He’s super detailed with his athletes and has a ton of strength and conditioning background/expertise that we just do not get taught in PT school. He also does a good job of practicing what he preaches, the man is active and stays in good health so he can be a good example for those around him! Awesome dude and would recommend!"

    Alex Vite

  • "Graham is a gifted PT and trainer! He takes time to get to the root of an issue and educates you on proper alignment and training styles to prevent future issues. I was frustrated with knee pain, especially walking down stairs. After the 1st session, my pain went from 5 to zero and now we can focus on the building phase. He gives you individual focus rather than having a trainer working on several at once!"

    Kara McConaghy, Yoga 4 Elite Athletes

  • "Professional Golfer who was seeking better body motion. GRB is a World Class PT with extensive real knowledge that will make you not only better at your hobby, he will educate you and heal you through natural movement and education. He truly has a gift. I highly suggest GRB, he is actually invested in your health and you will feel and see the difference you want to make."

    Tom Maxwell

  • "I was referred to Graham by my friend who was very positive about his services. I had been struggling with the recovery post a Achilles tendon surgery at a different center. I have now started playing tennis again after 12 weeks of therapy with Graham. He is a friendly guy with such amazing knowledge, that I have signed up for core strengthening. I would highly recommend Graham for any pain/injuries."
