“All of the people at ESPT are easy to work with. They helped me to get back on my feet after I injured my leg. Walt and Leah stayed with me and helped me through all of it. I then completed post rehab exercises with Walt twice a week until I was back to normal. I am so glad I came to ESPT.” - Sarah T. I am so glad I came to Eastern Shore PT!
