"Eric at Urban Physical Therapy is by far the best physiotherapist I have ever encountered. As an aging athlete (40+), maintaining strength and flexibility in the face of mounting injuries is both very important to me and increasingly challenging. Eric is a great diagnostician, knows when and how to make me push my limits, and has given me a ton of easy-to-implement recommendations for things I can do at home to speed my recovery and improve my strength and flexibility. Overall, Erik's disciplined, holistic, and practical approach to physio is just what I needed to get—and keep—my body right."
1. Root: Find the Real Problem
We evaluate your movement patterns, strength, and biomechanics to identify the root cause of your knee pain—not just treat symptoms.

3. Reload: Get Back to 100% 3. Reload: Build Resilience
We progressively build your strength, stability, and confidence so you return to running, lifting, and competing stronger than before.
Whether recovering from surgery, managing overuse injuries, or dealing with chronic pain, we treat the full spectrum of knee conditions with personalized, evidence-based care.
"I have now worked with Eric through a couple different injuries. As an athlete I appreciate working with someone who is focused not just on regaining functionality, but he works to get you back to 100% as strong as you were before, if not better. I was amazed at my first session with him when I came in with knee pain that I had for months. He evaluated me, had me do a couple of stretches that seemed completely unrelated, and the knee pain was immediately feeling better."
"I highly recommend Urban PT. I started working with Eric after two injuries (ankle and shoulder) were preventing me from rock climbing, and I wanted to recover enough to do an outdoor climb 3 months later. I was able to meet that goal, and now, several months later, I am able to improve my climbing and get stronger again. This has been the best PT experience I've had because it's not been just about alleviating pain and getting back to what is 'normal' but getting to be able to continue to do what I want to do."
"I've really enjoyed working with Erik! The one-on-one sessions have been excellent — he takes the time to listen and tailor each treatment to my needs. Over the course of therapy, I've gotten much stronger and have seen major improvement in my chronic leg pain. Erik is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cares about his patients' progress."
