Patient Testimonials & Google Reviews

Stephanie Hughes ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kacie is truly amazing! When my son broke his elbow playing baseball, we felt overwhelmed and uncertain about his recovery, especially whether he'd be able to return to the game he loves. Kacie made the entire process feel manageable by setting clear, realistic goals every step of the way. Through her expertise, encouragement, and a combination of in-office care and at-home work, he was able to make a full return to baseball. We are incredibly grateful for her guidance and support throughout the journey.

Alan Johnson ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ PT for athletes! Sure, Kacie doesn't bill insurance, so you have to figure that out for yourself - but you get what you pay for! I've been to MANY a physical therapist at your standard clinic and a lot of the time i feel like they're just finding ways to use up the time - having my do workouts i could just do at home, walking on a treadmill, etc. With Kacie not a minute is wasted - she's getting to know you and working to get you back out there doing what you love as quickly (and safely) as possible. Super friendly, super helpful, absolutely love her!!

Kolton Dean ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kacie is the best physical therapist in the Tri-Cities. Her healing practices have been instrumental in my recovery process. Would recommend to anyone and everyone.

Kelly Wavrin ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The expertise you can access at Game Changer Physical Therapy is exactly that: A Game Changer. Kacie provided a deep analysis of my specific back injury. As a triathlete the demands on my body are great. She diagnosed the mechanism of my pain, utilized a hands-on approach, as well as provided appropriate strength work I needed to do at home. Her knowledge and skills are amazing. In addition to giving me a "toolbox" of work, dry needling was utilized. This provided pain relief as tightness was reduced in my back. The goal was always to return to swimming, biking and running. I will continue to use the targeted strength work to keep my body strong. I am currently training across all three sports again. Although healing is not linear and injuries take time to heal, I am stronger and returning to the sport of triathlon.

Anne S ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We came to Kacie after hearing about her from a local high school soccer program. Our daughter was side lined from soccer due to fat pad issues in her knee. Kacie worked with her and after a month she was able to return to preseason training. Kacie's expertise helped make our daughter's knee stronger than ever! She even earned athlete of the week during the season. It wouldn't have happened without Kacie. Kacie was a blessing during the season as well. She helped strengthened my daughter's ankle after a bone bruise from a hard collision. Kacie's work is well worth the investment for any athlete. I don't think a tradition pt approach would have yielded such good results. Keeping her on speed dial for the basketball season!

Josh Winiarski ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ After years of trying other specialists and seeing minimal progress, I was advised to check out Game Changer Physical Therapy. For me it was exactly that: game changing! Unlike other clinics where I was passed around between physical therapists and assistants, every session here was 1-on-1 with Kacie. She's always just a text away if you have any questions, flare-ups between visits, or need a refresher on an exercise, and it's clear she genuinely cares about your progress. After trying many other clinics, I can confidently say that Game Changer Physical Therapy is one of, if not THE BEST physical therapy clinic in Tri-Cities, and I would recommend her to anyone dealing with persistent pain or symptoms. I'll forever be grateful to Kacie and her clinic for giving me my life back!

Ashley Laird ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My son's coach recommended that we reach out to Kacie, after my son was injured in a high school soccer game. Kacie went out of her way to fit my son into her busy schedule. She understood he was in the middle of his season and wanted to be back on the field as soon as possible. Kacie was amazing at assessing and treating the injuries, and also engaging my son in a clear recovery plan. He was back to 100% within just a few sessions, going on to play the remainder of the season and in the State finals. Kacie checked in with both of us regularly during the process. It's clear that she understands athletes and takes an holistic approach to injury recovery.

Andrew Jackson ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommend Kacey as a Physical Therapist. My wife and I have seen her multiple times for various running injuries and she's always got us back to running after minimal sessions. She's extremely knowledgeable.

Emily Merk ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kacie is the best! I went to her for a few injuries and she was really great to work with. She takes her time to get to know you and your injury, your goals and then makes a treatment plan. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Sarah Dodson ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kacie goes above and beyond for her patients. My son who is a high school football player has had such a positive recovery experience from his debilitating hamstring injury by working with her and her detail oriented plan for him. She didn't just want to help him recover, her goal was for him to feel even better and stronger than before and gave him the tools and guidance to help prevent injuries in the future. She checks in with her patients regularly, celebrates the milestones of recovery with them, and her genuine care and concern completely sets her apart in her field. I can't recommend her enough to all of the other parents of athletes I know. Your athlete will benefit not only physically, but mentally working with such a dedicated and positive specialist.

Jeanette Hays ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kacie is incredibly skilled and attentive, helping me recover quickly and feel better. Her personalized approach made all the difference in my healing process. Her dedication to my well-being is truly appreciated. Thank you!

Tommy Reffalt ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently completed physical therapy for a calf tear and had an excellent experience. The one-on-one service was truly dedicated and focused on my specific needs. Thanks to her expert guidance, I've regained full strength in my calf and can now walk without any pain. I highly recommend this PT service to anyone recovering from an injury.

Caleb Breaux ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kacie is one of the best PTs I have ever been to and that is saying something as motocrosser who has had plenty of surgeries, even more injuries and seen many physical therapists. I came in for an adductor tear that had been bothering me for over 2 years. After only several visits I was seeing marked progress in my recovery which I had not seen since the injury. After only a few months of work i finished the first race in years without pain in my groin. Kacie used a combination of many techniques to achieve this result but one of the ones i was most impressed with was dry needling. I was very skeptic about the dry needling having previously had poor experiences with acupuncture in treatment for another condition. However after some convincing i gave it a try and was super glad I did. We were able to make much quicker progress after the dry needling treatments and my pain areas felt much looser which helped in gaining back strength as quickly as possible. If suggested, I'd definitely give it a shot even if you're adverse to needles. It's worth it. Id highly recommend Kacie as a PT she is very pleasant to work with and highly intelligent in her ability to design a program specific to your needs.

Colby Jones ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I injured my calf 3 weeks out from a race I had been training for. My coach recommended to find someone who was versed in dry needling and I found Kacie Shively and she worked her magic. Three sessions and I was able to race my 50k pain free. Dry needling has made all the difference in trouble spots, injury prevention, and recovery as part of my maintenance plan. Thanks Kacie!

Ethan Stout ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kacie was awesome to work with! She was able to see me super fast after I injured myself while running, and was able to get me back to running within a couple days. Super knowledgeable and cares about getting athletes back out quickly but safely too!!

Jennifer Gahringer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kacie was amazing to work with. I had nagging hip pain that limited my running for years. Kacie really took the time to understand my issue and how important it was for me to get this problem fixed. She put together a personalized plan and with feedback after each session we tweaked it based on how my body was responding. I am now running the best I ever have, and pain free!

Mary Zoladz ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My son, age 15, is an athlete (lacrosse and football) and has been seeing Kacie for four months. We initially went for knee and quad stiffness and pain. Kacie listened closely to my son describe his pain and difficulty, was very thorough in her assessment, and developed a comprehensive treatment plan that aided his recovery. Kacie took the time to get to know my son and developed a positive working relationship with him. She is responsive to messages and is easy to work with. We cannot recommend Kacie at Game Changer Physical Therapy enough!

Alece McCoy ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My daughter has been using Game Changer physical therapy for a few months. My teenage daughter loves going to Kacie. She is great with her. She has fun with her while she is there for treatment. Kacie is very hands on. You get one on one therapy with the therapist. Very private feeling in her therapy room. Very knowledgeable about sports injury. I would highly recommend Game changer physical therapy for anyone looking for a great therapy experience.

Ashley Morris ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The knowledge offered and time spent were amazing! By far, my most positive and productive experience with Physical Therapy! Highly recommend!

Luke Sweet ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kacie is an excellent physical therapist! In 2023 I had done a double Ironman distance triathlon in June and afterward I found myself with so much knee pain I couldn't run. I had another ultra distance triathlon scheduled for the end of July. Kacie was able to quickly and accurately diagnose the problem. She got me on a rehabilitation plan that resulted in a rapid recovery, allowing me to compete in top form at Ultraman Canada at the end of July. I was able to continue on the rest of the year injury free and that included a heavy training block so that I could compete in a triathlon that was 5X the distance of a traditional ironman triathlon. Kacie is extremely knowledgeable, understands athletes well and is a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her services.

K'Lyn Smith ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Working with Kacie has been a great experience. She takes her time with you and has great communication. I have been to other places for Physical Therapy and they can't even compare. I will only go to Kacie now. She is knowledgeable and very personable. If you want to get to the bottom of your issues she will help you and give you the tools to overcome them. Kacie gets all the stars! Love her! Highly recommend for everyone!

Peter Hoag ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kacie did a great job with my daughter's knee. She kept in constant communication directly with me to ensure I was looped in on the rehab plan and updated on a regular basis. She helped tremendously with a flare up in my daughter's knee reinforcing specific strengthening exercises and movements that other PTs hadn't done. I highly recommend Kacie.

Kevin Riley ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I have been seeing Kacie with Game Changer Physical Therapy for the past 8 months. I was originally referred to her to help with cramps that I was getting on my side either while I was swimming, running, or biking. I would mainly get my cramps during triathlon races when I would come off the bike. When Kacie first heard about what I was dealing with she knew exactly what was going on in my back. She was able to get me for my first appointment a week before my Ironman race to start with therapy. Although you can't fix a problem within one session, she gave me a number of exercises to do at home between our session and my race. In triathlon you don't want to spend a lot of time in transition between the sports Kacie also gave me some quick exercises to do between the bike and run. During that Ironman run I didn't cramp on my side until mile 17 of the run and it only lasted a few minutes. Prior to seeing Kacie and her giving me at home exercises to do I would cramp within the first 2 miles on a run. Between this Ironman and Ironman World Championships she helped me with my back tightness as well as other issues that arose between the two events. At Ironman World Championships I didn't have any cramps. She has also helped me with other issues that have arisen in the past few months. I was always a little skeptical about Physical Therapy, but Kacie has shown me how valuable it can be! I would highly recommended Kacie to anyone who is looking for a Physical Therapist. She is very knowledgeable, cares about her patients, and will tailor a specific program to her patients needs. I can't speak highly enough of Kacie at Game Changer!

Sara Smith ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kacie is the best of the best, and that does not even seem like enough of a compliment. We brought our son to her in debilitating pain from Osgood Schlatter's. He had been to several physical therapists before over the course of a year, and he was getting minimal relief. Once he started with Kacie, within a few months he was back to playing soccer. A few months after that, he is back to playing soccer at full speed. Kacie treats the whole person - the body, the mind, and the spirit. When he first started with her, he was struggling with depression and severe anxiety over the thought of never being able to play again. Because of Kacie, now his confidence is soaring, his mental block is gone, and his physical self is stronger than it has ever been. Kacie is it. She is the one that gets it done. We will forever be grateful for her and will only take our children to her for physical therapy from here on out.

Fernando Lopez-Vega ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best physical therapist in Tri-Cities! Helped me recover from ACL and PCL reconstruction to get back to playing soccer.

Annette Freier ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kacie at Game Changer Physical Therapy is a fantastic therapist! She was so professional in every aspect of my treatment. She was very thorough in the initial evaluation, taking time to really listen and investigate what was causing the issue with my hip. She took time explaining what anatomically was happening, what I was doing to continually aggravate the issue and the course of treatment she felt was appropriate. Within three sessions I was moving without pain and able to continue doing the activities I enjoy! Her at home recommendations were easy to follow and she was great about checking in on progress. Highly recommend!

Sara McMullin ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My 15 year old daughter's experience was nothing but positive. Kacie was patient, knowledgeable and left her feeling empowered and ready to succeed on the basketball court. What I appreciated most about Kacie was her customer service and her check-ins on how my daughter was feeling and if we had any questions. You won't regret working with Kacie.

Jason Brady ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had the pleasure of working with Kacie at Game Changer Physical Therapy, and I cannot recommend her services enough. From the beginning, Kacie's dedication was clear. She provides one-on-one attention that is so crucial to recovery, ensuring that each session is tailored to the individual's needs. What truly sets Kacie apart is her genuine care for her patients' well-being. Although she specializes in treating athletes, her skills and approach are not limited to just that demographic. I am not an athlete, yet her expertise has been instrumental in my recovery from an auto accident. Kacie's approach to physical therapy is far from the typical "one size fits all" treatment. She takes the time to understand your specific situation and adjusts her methods accordingly, which has made a significant difference in my recovery process. For anyone seeking physical therapy, whether you're an athlete or someone on the mend from life's unexpected turns, I highly recommend Game Changer Physical Therapy. Kacie's professionalism, coupled with her warm and caring approach, makes for a truly exceptional experience.

Melissa Baker ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I highly recommend Game Changer Physical Therapy. My teenage daughter received physical therapy for a running injury. Kacie worked with her to get her healed and back competing. Kacie is excellent at her job and puts a lot of care into her work. Her office is clean and organized.

Forrest Alexander ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you are looking for real quality Physical Therapy, this is the spot. Kacie is very knowledgeable and can tailor to your needs. She specifically helped me with a small shoulder tear, and I am happy to report I can golf again! I appreciated her additional experience in sports rehab and her commitment to building out a plan forward with me to help me get back in the gym with a custom built exercise program.

Jay Cadwell ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ In the last year underwent physical therapy sessions with Kacie to address a torn calf muscle and persistent back issues, and I cannot express enough gratitude for the remarkable care and expertise provided throughout my rehabilitation journey. Her extensive knowledge and experience in treating injuries were evident from the personalized treatment plan tailored to my specific needs. Kacie took the time to thoroughly assess my condition, patiently listened to my concerns, and explained each step of the rehabilitation process with clarity. What truly sets Kacie apart is her holistic approach to healing, addressing not only the physical symptoms but also considering the underlying factors contributing to my injuries. Through a combination of targeted exercises and manual therapy they helped me to take an active role in my recovery and make sustainable lifestyle changes to prevent future injuries. I am delighted to report significant improvement in both my calf muscle and back pain, thanks to the expertise and guidance of Kacie. I wholeheartedly recommend Kacie to anyone seeking exceptional physical therapy services.

Allie Nagurney ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kacie was really helpful finding the cause of my issues and prescribing exercises to help fix them!

Stuart Palmer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kacie has been incredibly helpful in my recovery. I was frustrated with other PTs and a friend recommended Kacie and it really has been a game changer. I have been recovering from knee surgery and Kacie took the time to pin point the issues that were needed to get me back to being active. When I first started with Kacie I could barely walk much less play hockey. I am a very active hockey player and coach, I'm on the ice at least 4 times a week, sometimes 4 times a day. I went from being uncomfortable walking and now I'm back to playing and coaching regularly. Kacie is different from other PTs because of the time she takes to understand the injury and customize a program tailored specifically for the individual. She also takes the time to modify the program as needed and is always available for questions between sessions. Also when you have a PT appointment with Kacie she is there for entirety of the sessions and doesn't pass you off to a piece of equipment or an assistant for half the time. If you're in need of Physical therapy look no further than Game Changer Physical Therapy!

Shelly Beauvais ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Working with Kacie to get me back out and running was truly a great experience start to finish! She correctly diagnosed my injury after a misdiagnose by an Orthopaedic PA, and then was able to get the correct exercise plan in place to heal my injury quickly. In two weeks after seeing Kacie I was starting to run again - after a painful hiatus of over two months! I'll definitely see Kacie for all of my PT needs in the future.

Amanda Reyes ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kacie has been an amazing physical therapist for my daughter. My daughter had a chronic ligament sprain to her ankle that was not getting better after rest. I took her to Kacie and she worked wonders for her! Kacie is very thorough and spends a great amount of time working with her clients to individualized their care plan and exercises. She helped my daughter's injury heal and helped prevent her from getting a further injury. She remained healthy the full duration of her soccer season and was able to keep playing. Thank you for your excellent care Kacie!

Alessandro Llamas ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Game Changer Physical Therapy is without a doubt one of the best PTs in our area for our athletes. Kacie is someone who understands the level of athleticism of the individual & their sport. Also, she is willing to learn, study and adapt to the athletes sports mechanics so she can apply the best PT work out/recovery approach. We are so grateful to have her here in the TriCities area.

Kyle Bosley ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kacie at Game Changer is incredible she is professional, knowledgeable, and a PT unlike any out there! Trust her if you need current or future treatment.

Brianne Johnson ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kacie got me feeling better much faster than I expected! She is personable and professional and the quality of her visits is excellent. I will certainly use her again in the future when the next running injury undoubtedly pops up.

Brian Stetter ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kacie is a very knowledgeable and talented Physical therapist. Highly recommend seeing her to get back into the competition. She focuses and understands athletes to adapt a program specifically designed for them. Had a hard time staying consistent with running training due to a past injury that came up a few weeks before competition. She was able to get me back before the Ski to Sea race and I was able to finish the run. Not only feeling better but running one of my fastest times since college. Great PT and follow up with her patients. Highly recommended.

Yadira Gonzalez ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best physical therapist in Tri-Cities! Kacie is knowledgeable and caring person. She goes above and beyond to make you feel better. My daughter has been feeling so much better since coming to her! Highly recommended!

Sarah Lewis ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kacie is fantastic. Maintains a super positive attitude, is encouraging and available in between therapy sessions for questions. Teaches you how to get stronger and recover on your own, gives lots of multimodal therapy techniques both active and passive that actually work. If I ever had another injury, I would absolutely seek her out for assistance. If anyone who is an athlete has an injury to work through and doesn't want to put down their training plan, Kacie is the woman to work with. Kacie helped me work through an achilles injury from training in February, allowing me to finish the Big Sur Marathon at the end of April.

Karen Barnhart ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Met Kacie through a running seminar at Runners Soul. I love trail running. Fast forward a year and I was having foot pain. Went to Game Changer Physical Therapy. Kacie was able to work on my foot and give me exercises to stretch the muscles in my foot. Definitely helped me to getting back on the trail. Highly recommend her.

Julie Carpenter ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My Daughter started working with Kacie for a nagging knee injury she sustained during basketball. Kacie is very knowledgeable and quickly evaluated the core issues. She set up a comprehensive plan to maximize my Daughter's time in the clinic and at home. Kacie cares about her patients and would frequently check in with both myself and my Daughter. I could tell she was not only interested in my Daughter's current injury, but her future as an athlete. After working with Kacie my Daughter was able to play basketball for the first time in months without pain. Furthermore, when I needed advice on a non-related injury Kacie provided us with guidance in regards to imaging and future orthopedic appointments. I would highly recommend Game Changer Physical Therapy to anyone who wants to get to the root cause of an injury and wants to get back to participating in what they love.

Sara Elfering ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Drayson started seeing Kacie a few months ago after a season ending elbow surgery & several months of recovery. She has been amazing! When I asked Drays what the best part about working with Kacie is he said "everything!" And he's not wrong. She is friendly & easy to talk to. Extremely knowledgeable about the body & rehab. This is not the typical 'do some exercise while I watch & go home & do the same exercises' PT experience. She is hands on & tailors everything to him. She checks in (literally remembered what day surgery was & texted to see how his pin removal went). In a time where it feels like the medical field is getting less personal, Kacie has been a breath of fresh air! Drayson has progressed to the point that he is fully cleared but still will see her occasionally as he continues to regain all his strength prior to the upcoming wrestling season. Besides, she has become a friend & 'teammate' during this long recovery process. Can't say enough good things.

Kow Hank ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I brought my daughter to Kacie with knee pain that had been going on for years and was holding her back from fulfilling her fullest potential in her favorite sports, track and soccer. Kacie was able to quickly diagnose her weak areas, provide exercises to address these areas and positively outline a plan forward that didn't require quitting the sport. When giving exercise instruction she explained what needed to be done and why it helps, had my daughter practice it in office and video recorded the proper completion of the exercise so we could refer back to it at home. This helped alleviate many questions and the forgetting of important steps. We were very satisfied with both the knowledge and service that Kacie performed and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an effective physical therapist.

Angelica Sanders ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kacie works with your goals and schedule to maximize your recovery. Along with at home exercises to strengthen and improve your overall health, strength and mobility. She's always just a call or text away and goes above what a "normal" physical therapist does. With her I was able to achieve my third marathon just a month away from my previous with a hip injury. So thankful for the knowledge and skills she provided me in her care.

Ellie Thien ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I took my daughter to see Kacie as she was having some issues with her feet from playing soccer. After the first visit we saw a HUGE improvement. My daughter had gone to several visits with other doctors who had not been able to pinpoint what was going on. Kacie was very thorough and caring with my daughter we appreciate her so much and we highly recommend her!!!

Nichole Allen ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kacie, at Game Changer, is one of the best physical therapists I have ever been to! She really cares about your goals and puts them first in her approach to your care. Kacie was committed to getting me healed and out the door, so I could continue my busy-active lifestyle. I loved how accessible she is and never hesitated to answer my questions and help me problem solve things that came up along my recovery path. Hands down one of the best in the Tri-Cities area!

Camilla C ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kacie is great! Highly recommended! I sprained my ankle and it completely stopped running but after 4 weeks of seeing Kacie I'm back to running. She's also identified other places I need to strengthen to avoid future injuries. You get 1 hour one-on-one with her and she really figures out the real issues… Thank you!!

Liz Brown ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kacie is amazing! Most PTs look at your main complaint and don't zoom out but she is able to look at your whole body and its mechanics so that you truly fix the issue. I only saw her a few times and my knee is 100% better! She is so attentive, caring, and quick to respond to questions as well.

Annika Brubaker ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dr Kacie is very knowledgeable when it comes to working with athletes! She was very quick to assess & diagnose what I was dealing with. She's very kind and thorough when explaining exercises & routines. It was easy to book an appointment and her office makes you feel relaxed. It felt more like I had a personal trainer with all the medical knowledge vs. being at a physical therapy clinic where I was just another "number". I finally found a Physical Therapist that will help me continue to run & train injury free! Thank you Dr Kacie for being so amazing!!!

Tricia Jarrett ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kacie is an incredible PT. She understands the athletes mind and desire to get back to activity. I came in to Kacie when I had torn my calf and feared everything that I was training for would not happen this year. With her help I was able to get back into training after just a week and a half of modified training. She is very attentive to her patients and answers questions thoroughly and promptly. She got me in quickly for the initial appointment and armed me with the exercises I needed to heal quickly and fully! I am so glad to have a support system on my side as I continue to train. I am also thrilled to have extra precautions in place as I finish out the final weeks of my training for my first 50k! I would highly recommend Kacie to anyone who highly values their movement practice.

Tammy Stewart ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently worked with Kacie at Game Changer for a neck injury because she had successfully treated me as I recovered from surgery for a torn elbow tendon. I knew I was in good hands and was not disappointed. Within just a few weeks, I was seeing a huge improvement in strength and mobility. Kacie tailors a plan to each person, their abilities, and their goals. She constantly researches studies to give each and every patient the best treatment possible for their particular need. I would 100 percent see Kacie again and recommend her to my closest family and friends.

Ryan Brault ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I met Kacie at the perfect time. I had just finished a 1/2 marathon and was training for a full marathon. I have been listening to the Marathon Training Academy Podcast and they highly recommended finding a local PT that specialized in working with runners and athletes. After doing some research and asking around...all roads led to Kacie. I had already planned to come see her to help with some exercises and stretching to avoid an injury. Then she just happened to be the sponsor of the recovery zone at the end of a local 1/2 marathon and I finished the race with a foot injury. I started seeing her the following week and was especially excited about what she mentioned on her website...."Helping athletes perform their best, so that they can return to the sport they love, pain free and with a PR." She helped me do exactly that! Kacie is so many things...Knowledgeable, Professional, Personable, Fun, Energetic, and 100% Vested in getting her patients the results they are after. To put it simply...if you are an athlete recovering from an injury or simply looking to learn better routines and exercises to give you the best chance of avoiding injury...Kacie is simply the best! Don't hesitate. Reach out to her now! The level of service she offers is beyond what I could have gotten anywhere else. I really couldn't be happier with the experience working with Kacie or the results I gained! I did run another 1/2 Marathon with a PR and then ran my 2nd ever full Marathon (Run Surf City in Huntington Beach, CA) with a very significant PR over my first full marathon and not only that but I finished without injury and feeling so great, I went surfing the same afternoon. Yes, I was sore after which is normal for a full marathon, but in less than week I was back to nearly 100% and ready to hit it hard again. I look forward to more PRs and know exactly where to find the best PT in the area.

Tammy Mulholland ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Words fall short expressing how appreciative I am to Kacie. I have had knee issues for about two decades. During the pandemic I started power walking again then decided I wanted to become a runner. With Kacie's help I completed several half marathons, the NYC marathon and Disney's Dopey Challenge (48.6 miles)! Kacie approaches PT with an out of the box attitude. We work in our session, she gives me exercises to do at home and if I don't do them she'll switch to something I will do. I have access to her outside of my appointments, so if I have an issue or pain I don't have to wait until the next session to discuss it. This keeps me on track. She'll make adjustments and I continue to move forward with the peace of mind that I'm not causing damage or furthering my knee issues. I've done PT before with little to no success. Kacie has changed that and I have the medals to prove it! I highly recommend Kacie, she truly is a Game Changer!

Karlynne Spohn ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I started going to see Kacie a few months ago for hip pain and knee pain. I was told that I wouldn't be able to perform the workouts or activities that I really enjoyed doing from other physical therapist but she proved them wrong. In the short time that I saw her she really helped me improve the pain by giving me easy at home warm ups that took no time out of my day and helped me improve my form in the gym. I no longer have any pain and I am so very grateful for Kacie and her amazing work. She truly cares about her patients and she loves what she does. I would 100% recommend her to anyone that needs PT.

Kyle Smith ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I went to Game Changer PT for a shoulder problem I was having. I didn't know what it was but it was painful everytime I was lifting my arm or working out. I chose to go with Kacie (the owner) because she seemed to care more about individual training instead of cookie cutter routines and improving people's life instead of wasting people's money. Within the first visit she was able to tell me exactly what was wrong and by the 3rd visit I was basically pain free and she gave me such easy things to do at home that didn't take up hours out of my day (maybe 15min 2x a week). I'm super grateful for Kacie for giving me the tools I needed to keep my shoulders healthy and helping me get back to working out pain free!

Christopher Albertson ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kacie is amazing at her craft. I had a lower back injury that was affecting every aspect of my life and I didn't know where to go, or who to ask. I saw her flier and went to get professional help. She got me back to where I was physically, gave me the tools to continue to get stronger, and taught me a ton about how our bodies work and how we can continue to do what we love for the rest of our lives. If you have an injury impeding your ability to perform, go see Kacie!

J R ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Finding Kacie was a lifesaver for me. I have been struggling with sciatica for some time. Had shots that temporarily worked. Kacie has me doing stretching in the morning after I wake up and it's helped a whole bunch. I was able to walk three rounds of golf and 11 miles at Disneyland the past two weeks with no problems. I highly recommend!

CJ Larson ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kacie was amazing! She takes time to really make the experience unique to your situation. A very happy PT and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!

Tom Morris ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I first met Kacie at a running seminar. She helped me to understand how physical therapy could help the two injuries I have. Having never been to PT before she helped me with the process to get signed up and was able to use my HSA card for payment. In six sessions my injuries have improved, and she has developed a program to help prevent injuries in the future. I can highly recommend Game Changer Physical Therapy, it sure worked well for me.

Steph Galbraith ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The only physical therapist to go to is Game Changer PT, Kacie Shively. One of the main reasons we chose to go to Kacie Shively, at Game Changer PT, was her background in athletics. Knowing that she was going to work with our 17 year old daughter using therapy geared towards her sport was a no brainer. Our 17 year old daughter has had several injuries to her knees over the 10 years she has played soccer. The last injury led us to getting her knee surgically repaired. She had Medial Patellar Femoral Ligament replacement surgery. It is a 6 month recovery process (when done right). Thankfully we found Game Changer PT! We have been to a few PTs but Kacie is by far the best and most knowledgeable. Our daughter worked hard under the supervision and guidance of Kacie and her orthopedic doctor, which led to her being back in the game at 6 months. She played in a Regional Cup and then Nationals. Kacie was there each step of the process; including a phone call to my daughter to check on her while we were away. The time and effort that Kacie put into our daughter's pt was priceless and we would use her services again in a heartbeat. We recommend Game Changer PT to anyone looking for a physical therapist who is knowledgeable and caring.
