Still at it, but PV SSOR has been great thus far. Lydia is very detailed oriented and provides more and better feedback than others I've been to in years past. The whole staff is helpful / friendly. Keep up the good work!

Dr. Lydia Pemberton is very professional and uses her extensive knowledge to help me recover from knee replacement. She listens to what is going on with my body currently moves me forward every session no matter what the roadblock. Great job, Lydia!

Nate is clearly the best Physical Therapist in the greater Kansas City Metropolitan area! And therefore SSOR is the best at physical therapy. I think I am qualified to say this as over the past year I have had 3 surgeries on the same knee. I had a botched knee replacement in September, a botched knee revision in February and now another knee revision in June. I was sent to physical therapists all over Kansas City who did not care as deeply as Nate does to get me well. I am so lucky I finally was referred to Nate and SSOR. I think this last revision is actually going to work in large part due to Nate’s efforts. Thank you Nate!👍😃

I've had the best experience with Lydia helping me rehab both my shoulder and achilles! She's always been great about listening to my feedback, tailoring my exercises as I progress, and making sure I understand the purpose behind each part of my treatment. We've also incorporated dry needling - which has been incredibly effective at relieving the pain & reducing the stiffness I've been dealing with. Lydia & everyone else at the clinic have been extremely friendly and easy to talk to. It's clear they all genuinely care about their patients!

I spent an entire year rehabbing a massive rotator cuff tear pre and post op. Kylie Ceriotti did an amazing job of keeping me positive and progressing. She is professional and encouraging! She had a direct impact on my recovery. Back to 100% now!! I highly recommend her for your Rehab!!! John Peterson MD FACC

I went in to SSOR needing help with strength (legs) and balance issues. Several weeks of therapy using weights, resistance and balance exercises gave me great improvement! My therapist, Conner, knew when to push me to do more. She explained everything really well, answered all my questions and made the whole experience very positive. It all resulted in more confidence so I’m back to exercising more and feeling motivated to keep it up. It’s great to feel stronger in everyday activities, like going up and down stairs. I’d recommend SSOR to anyone!

I came to Baylie and SSOR as a last resort after second, third, and fourth opinions as well as seeing another PT at a different provider that wasn’t meeting my needs as an adult athlete. I wish I could go back in time and come here first. I could not be more thrilled with the care I have received. Baylie believed in me and put a lot of thought and care into a plan that has kept me from having surgery. She even went out of her way to connect me with a specialist who provided me with solutions that others missed. I’m finally on the road to recovery thanks to Baylie. Highly, highly recommend Baylie and the whole team at SSOR.

Best PT practice I’ve been to in the Kansas City area. Professional and personalized care that explains what the strengthening exercise is and the why behind it. I’ve seen Ryan and he’s awesome. I’ve watched the others and they do a great job too. Christy is very friendly and helpful at the front desk.

The whole team at SSOR is fantastic. I’ve seen Courtney over the last three years for different injuries and every time she has been thorough in her evaluation and gotten me back to healthy! Specifically I have a right hip impingement that will flare up when I don’t continually strengthen it properly. The last flare up was the worst and I thought I was finally going to have to have surgery. Courtney fixed me again, I honestly couldn’t believe it! The pain relief alone is worth it but being able to recover and continue to train my body in the way I like I.e a very slow runner is priceless. 10/10 highly recommend.

I worked with Lydia Pemberton over two periods of time on a shoulder issue and hip/groin issue. I found her to be very professional and knowledgeable about various exercises seemingly designed to deal with my pain. There was improvement and the rest was up to me to do the exercises on my own. She provided videos which explain how to do the exercises. The front desk was very courteous and helpful in making appointments. The studio is bright and upbeat. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend SSOR and Lydia.

Dear Courtney and staff, I want to take this moment to express my gratitude for the outstanding care and expertise provided me during my shoulder strengthening sessions this time; just as you helped me with my knee/leg strengthening 2 years ago. Your dedication, knowledge and passion for your work truly sets you apart. Your professional demeanor, coupled with your warm and optimistic approach and encouragement were significant in my progress. Your ability to explain complex concepts in a clear and understandable manner were greatly appreciated. I especially appreciated your upbeat attitude and sense of humor which played a large part in making my treatment a pleasant experience. I would wholeheartedly recommend you and your staff at SSOR to anyone in need of physical therapy. Thank you. Charlotte

Extremely positive experience. I worked with Ryan, he was excellent. Great communicator, attentive, thorough - was able to isolate my problem quickly and provide me with a protocol that led to recovery in two weeks (I went in expecting months). Highly recommend!

I was in a very hopeless state of mind when I started going here but I've had a great amount of success. The staff here will make you believe in yourself and believe you can feel better. Bailey in particular. She speaks with such authority and knowledge, you can really trust her. She will push you, but never more than what you're capable of. She doesn't hold back letting you know when you've done a good job. She's very encouraging and she gets results. I leave after every appointment with a sense of accomplishment - my pain is leaving me, and my mobility is increasing. Highly recommended.
