“The only PT location to go to in PA is Primal PT. Joe is the best and the service is above and beyond the best around and worth the 90 mins drive!”

“I heard about Primal through my weightlifting coach. I started seeing Eric a few months ago leading up to an important competition. I have worked with PTs in the past so I am somewhat familiar on what the experience could be. Eric surpassed expectations even after the first visit & since then each time. Eric is very thoughtful - he values your goals and is excited to be a part of your journey to reach them. He consistently entertains all of my thoughts, questions, concerns with patience and thorough explanations to help me understand body awareness. Dry needling is something I've never tried before; I've had a nagging tightness in my hips and lower back that I've been able to take care of with Eric. I've historically worked to "when it hurts too much to keep going" & now I am finally back to just being sore vs being in pain. Daily movement & weightlifting has been much better these last 5 months than the previous 18 with that nagging tightness gone. :) Scheduling is very easy - their website is simple to schedule & you receive texts/emails to remind you of appt day and time. And, they have really cool merch, their hoodie is top notch.”

“Started seeing Joe last week at the recommendation of a friend for my foot pain. I had been in a car accident years ago and broke both of my legs including my foot. The foot is what seems to still bother me the most. Joe did dry needling, ultrasound and gave me exercises to do at home. It is feeling so much better already. Thank you!”

“Wow - what a great experience! My only regret is that I didn’t take advantage of PT sooner! Joe was kind, knowledgeable and thorough in his exam/assessment as well as the treatment for the neck pain I had recently developed. The dry needle technique made my pain disappear within the hour and my range of motion is back where it should be. He gave me some exercises to use as well as tips regarding sleeping positions etc. I look forward to my next session as well as treatments that can help me with my running form and efficiency and ability to stay injury free in the future. The facility was clean and welcoming. Worth every penny! Can’t express how happy I am with the appointment!”

“I had severe low back pain last fall and working with Jessica C. fully resolved my injury within 4-6 weeks (I was almost certain I was going to require either surgery or some form of more intensive intervention). In addition I now have a set stretches and exercises I can do proactively to prevent any future recurrences. Given I am quite active, the PT recovery process allowed me to return to ALL the activities I was hoping to participate in again.”

Eric Keuffel

“I started having back problems about four months ago.. March of 2025. Tried back doctors. Tried epidurals. Was thinking about surgery. And tried several PT people.. Mark worked on me for an hour.. When I walked out, I have felt better than I have in months after one hour 's. PT.”

“I used to be a runner and after having kids my body stopped moving the way it should. I was suffering with foot and ankle pain for years and I was at the point that walking my kids to school everyday was painful. I saw multiple podiatrists, physiatrists, chiropractors, acupuncturists and psychical therapists with no results. Eric was the first person to actually look inside my shoes to see what was going on. He was the first provider to look at my body as a whole and to recognize there were other issues I needed to address before being able to solve my feet pain. Eric has helped me get to the point where I do not have daily feet pain as well as work on the other limitations my body has. He has helped me emotionally by working through my frustration, encouraging me to be patient and to push me when my body allows. I suggest anyone who has chronic issues, especially those that other providers have not been able to help, to make an appointment. Working with him has literally changed my life.”

“It’s so nice to finally work with someone that knows what they’re doing. Eric is smart, confident, competent and knowledgeable. He takes a great functional approach to rehab that is so hard to find. First he put me on a 6 week exercise program after just a FaceTime call and exchange of messages. After that program I had already felt significant progress. I was then able to see him in person for an assessment and dry needling. I left feeling better immediately. I’m so excited to continue working with him and finally correct the issues from a 2+ year old injury. Highly recommend seeing Eric and his team for treatment.”

“I'm fairly certain I'm a broken human being. That being said, Primal has provided me strides forward in physical improvement. The staff are incredibly welcoming, the location offers easy parking, the workspace is thought-out, accommodating, and appealing. You can even hop next door for a solid cuppa Joe when you're done.”

“In 2019 I herniated two discs in my lower back, the results of which was excruciating pain, the inability to feel or move the toes on my left foot, and an occasional loss of all function in my left foot. I spent the next two years working with various physical therapists with minimal results. In my desperate search to find a physical therapist who could help me I found JJ. The first time I saw JJ I told her of my symptoms and when she asked me where I was feeling the most pain I had to answer, “I don’t even know anymore.” She quickly did a movement evaluation and pinpointed my biggest problem areas. In that first visit she got my toes moving again, for the first time in two years! Every time I go for an appointment, she knows exactly what to do and how to address problem areas with the most effective treatments. For the next couple of years, we worked on regaining feeling, movement, and strength in my leg and repairing the damage caused by the herniated disks. Today I have regained most of the feeling, mobility and strength back in my whole body. I have gone from a person who could easily injure themselves getting out of bed to someone who can lift weights and go back to joining in on all family sporting activities.”

“JJ and Eric are two of the most caring and gifted practitioners you will find. Their hands have the AMAZING ability to target exactly what is causing your pain and draw it out. I was referred to Primal by my traditional Physical Therapist because after 6 months of rehab, my body was stuck - it couldn’t get any better with the exercises I was doing. He told me their treatments had done as much as they could, however it wasn’t enough progress for me. When I finished those 6 months, I would still never be able to run again due to crippling back pain. JJ immediately knew how to treat me, and after 3 months, I was running again - that was 4 years ago. Since then both JJ and Eric have helped me heal from new injuries that I cause and also address the old injuries from years of damage. They feel genuine concern for your overall well being, and will establish a meaningful connection with you. If you have pain that others have told you can’t be fixed or you have done something that impedes your ability to do what you love or you push your body hard and want to keep it healthy, THEY WILL HELP YOU. I tell everyone I know who is suffering with pain to come see them because they will change your life. I am so grateful for them and all they have done (and will continue to do) for me!”

“I had been dealing with a nagging hamstring issue since early November. I did daily stretches and looked up a number of routines on the internet to try and help speed up the recovery. I seemed to be stuck and really had trouble making progress for months. Then I heard about some of the Virtual Sessions that Primal Physical Therapy was doing. I spoke with Eric about my issues and he put a plan together for me. He even sent me a bunch of easy to follow videos to make sure I executed the movements properly. In 1 week I already noticed huge improvements and in just over 2 weeks I felt back to normal. Was able to join back in my football and lacrosse games, have been able to push a good amount further lifting (within reason and with Eric's guidance) and I finally dont have that nagging pain that seemed to always be lingering. I highly recommend Eric and Primal Physical Therapy and was incredibly impressed by how well they were able to adapt even with this virtual offering.”
