After participating in a community fitness challenge hosted by Salerno Sports Therapy, I decided to improve my overall well-being becoming a client. I'm pleased with my results and progress in resolving shoulder and hip concerns.

Very responsive and thorough in answering my questions and giving me an overview of services offered and how they cater to the individual goals. A pleasure to speak with!

Jay kept me running when I thought I was going to have to quit. I never had to stop and have been able to get back to my mileage way faster than I thought. Jay is professional and super easy to work with. He sets reasonable objectives and helps figure out ways to keep you working at home where you maybe don’t have the same equipment. I am so glad I went to see him!!

Jay is awesome. Great with communication and makes the session fun. Before Jay, I’d been working on an IT band injury for a few years now with little to no improvement. Now I’m finally on the right track and back to running regularly!!

Jay is the best physical therapist I’ve ever worked with, and I have had severe back issues since early childhood, and he has changed my life . At 67 years old I’m in the best shape I’ve been in in 25 years. I have great balance, flexibility and my back doctor was very impressed how much better I am... He is the best!

I can’t recommend Jay enough. He’s extremely knowledgeable, thorough and committed to his patients recovery. He’s helped me through multiple injuries and works with me for ongoing maintenance. You won’t find better!!

Been going for about about a month after stopping by for a screening at strictly running and have been working with Nathan ever since. This has been and will be extremely helpful for my running goals

Can not recommend enough! I worked with another physical therapist for four months. I spent the same amount of money, with little to no progress. Within three visits with Jay, My pain had drastically minimized, strength and range of motion increased, and just like that, I was back to lifting. Nala is also so kind and helpful with scheduling.

I highly recommend this place! They have helped significantly with my running injuries, and I was able to get back on the road super fast!

Jay is the man! Extremely knowledgeable and personable with all of his clients. If you are ever in need of a PT, cannot recommend enough.

Awesome place and awesome people. Definitely worth your time to check them out. They'll get you on the track to healthy movement for sure

Salerno Sports Therapy was the best when I was experiencing IT band problems throughout marathon training. Their personalized treatment plan enabled me to run on race day with no pain! Besides the physical therapy, the staff was always so positive and helpful; it was a great way to start my mornings! If I'm ever hurt again, I'm going back to Salerno.

The top team of sports PT professionals in Columbia. Trust me, I've tried most of them. Couldn't recommend Jay and the team enough.

Choosing them was the best decision I’ve made for my golf game. I saw noticeable improvements within just three rounds.”
