Vighetti & Associates Sports Physical Therapy

I reached out to Leven Potter at Vighetti & Associates when my back gave out on me. I was so debilitated and in an excruciating amount of pain, I could barely walk. I had flare ups before, but it was at its worst. I always thought it was an issue with a pinched nerve or my disc — that’s always what everyone’s “go-to” is. Leven assessed and treated me, and showed me that it wasn’t that at all, rather an issue with tension and muscle weakness that all created the perfect storm of pain and suffering. She absolutely changed my life with the treatments she gave me (dry needling was scary at first but is SO WORTH IT), the ongoing PT exercises, and further with Strength & Conditioning personal training sessions. My back has NEVER felt this strong and supported, and I have all of the tools I need to make myself feel better. Her extensive knowledge and patience is everything you could ask for in a doctor, and more. I can’t recommend her more - truly a lifesaver!

I have been under the care of Kirsten for about six months now and she has greatly improved my quality of life. I was involved in a traumatic scooter accident three years ago and had multiple fractures to my face and legs. The injury that has not completely healed was my tibial plateau fracture. Under the care of Kirsten I have been able to return to surfing, hiking, and cycling. She has greatly improved my range of motion along with my strength. I have been under the care of multiple PT professionals and Kirsten is hands down the best experience I have ever had. She takes a very hands on approach to your treatment all while listening to your medical compliant and taking into account what makes you feel better. These treatments and assessment are performed on a 1:1 PT to Patient ratio which is unique in my past experience. My quality of life has improved greatly under her care and I recommend her to any person looking to live a pain and stress free life.

Wow! I LOVE Kirsten! If you're serious about fixing your physical issues, this is the place you need to be. When I first spoke to Kirsten on the phone, I immediately felt I was in good hands. She's warm, personable and very compassionate. I totally got the impression that she does this kind of work because she really does want to help people. I paid out of pocket and it was without a doubt money well spent. Her knowledge of anatomy and movement are spot on, not surprising since she teaches at the local university. I was in a bad car crash and had multiple issues, mostly going from non-weight bearing on my rt foot to weight bearing. I had also just seen a different physical therapist in a different city for 6 weeks. I learned more from my one appointment with Kirsten than I did in the entire 6 weeks with the other phys. therapist. If you're looking to REALLY fix a physical issue and NOT with pills or surgery, go see Kirsten or Steve. My bf has seen Steve a few times now for compression fractures in his lumbar vertebrae. Steve seems to be just as knowledgeable, compassionate and dedicated to his work as Kirsten. You cannot go wrong with either of them. Just don't do what I did and waste your time with anyone else.

Kirsten was a joy to work with! I tore my achilles tendon in September, had surgery to repair it and as soon as I got the boot off at 6 weeks, started PT with Kirsten. My goal was to be able to ski at the 6 month mark. (The surgeon had told me I wouldn't get to ski this year, but I was determined to do it, and with Kirsten's help I did!!!) Kirsten is an incredible physical therapist! She is smart, professional, compassionate and really listens to you. She knows exactly the right exercise program to get you back on the path to wellness fast! I highly recommend her to anyone needing physical therapy for anything! Don't waste your time going elsewhere!
