What West End Clients Are Saying

Hear from West End runners, lifters, and athletes who got back to their best with Grit.

A few weeks ago I managed to injury my leg doing small tasks around my house and was unable to pinpoint what the issue was and how to solve it. After a brief conversation, and a few tests/exercises with Colin, I had the issue diagnosed and a thorough exercise program intended to heal and strengthen the injury. Colin was awesome. Great experience!

Gabby reached out to me in just a few hours after messaging her. She was responsive and very caring about the issues I had been having with my back! Her one-on-one approach utilizing manual therapy in conjunction with mobility and strengthening work is something you won’t get in many physical therapy clinics!
Aimee Pelletier
Gabby was able to help me get rid of my Achilles pain with her manual skills and through instruction in exercises. I am still doing the exercises now to keep strong and prevent further injuries. Gabby is so personable and knowledgeable! I highly recommend her to an athlete or someone like me who just enjoys keeping in shape and pain-free!
Michelle Turnage
Gabby has truly changed the game for me. I’ve had back pain for years and after a few visits with her, I’m feeling the best I’ve ever felt! She is extremely knowledgeable and skilled in her profession. Would recommend Grit to anyone and everyone!!!
Meredith McCarthy
We utilized Grit for our son’s hamstring injury rehab. Dr Griffin is very thorough and detailed with all her work. Our son felt confident after have sessions with her to finish his rehab.
Todd Dube
I’ve worked with Dr. Colin twice now, and each time he has taken time to listen, plan and adapt based on what I want and what I’m feeling. He’s very clear, straightforward and caring, while bringing a wealth of knowledge. I had a very old injury that flared up while working out, and now I’m back in the gym with no pain only a month later.
Kayla Brooks

Dr Gabby fixed my nagging neck pain I was dealing with for months with sleeping and any overhead weight lifting. 1 session of dry needling and her working on my neck/shoulder, I felt 100x better. I highly recommend Dr. Gabby and Grit PT for any sports rehab or PT need!

Grit Physical Therapy and Performance with Colin really helped with my knee and lower back pain. Colin made a plan just for me and showed me the right exercises. The treatment Grit had was great and eased pain fast and efficiently.

Gabby is the best, most thoughtful & personable PT out there! She guided me through getting rid of daily back pain that was affecting my work and personal lives. She is professional and knowledgeable, offering both manual and exercise-based therapy depending on your needs. Seriously, look no further, gabby is a gift to those in need of physical therapy.
Kara Lehman
Highly recommend Gabby. She’s the best. Between the manual therapy and the exercises, she got my shoulder back to feeling strong after years of avoiding certain lifts. She’s great at spotting the subtle bad habits in your form and helping you fix them. Identifying and correcting the little things made a huge impact. Can’t say enough good things.
