I worked with Karyn DuLaney this summer after two back surgeries. She helped me make significant improvements in strength and flexibility. She has a high level of knowledge and skill and is very friendly and pleasant. She really cares about her patients’ overall well-being. I had been her patient when she worked with another group. When I saw she was no longer there, I was fortunate to find her at Without Limits. While I’m sure there are many good therapists in the area, I really wanted to continue with Karyn. The experience at Without Limits is even better because she is able to spend more time with each patient.

If you are looking for a physical therapist who creates true individualized treatment plans, I’d like to recommend Jeffrey Fairman of Without Limits Running. Jeff is very knowledgeable and he does an excellent job of providing a program that fits your needs, whether it is to rehab after surgery or an injury or to build strength where you might have weakness. He does a great job explaining the treatment and really listens to one’s concerns and updates, adjusting the exercises and treatments as needed. He has guided me through two rehab programs, and I am very happy with my progress.
