All staff are professional, friendly, and helpful. Laura is very attentive, knowledgeable, thorough, and gentle when attending to my moms needs and doing physical therapy in her pelvic area.

So thankful for the help we received at solving a serious issue my special needs son was having with his colon. It took 9 months and multiple doctors before Laura and the problem was resolved without invasive treatments and in a quick time frame. Thank you!

I've been using Smart Body for 10+ years for everything from plantar fasciitis and running related issues to back injuries. They have always been able to provide relief and instruction for how to get my body back on track and functioning as it should. Laura and her team are always helping with a smile and as accommodating as possible.

I have been going to Smart body off and on for awhile now. I trust them with my care always! Laura the owner is and has been my PT. I have, many years now suffered medical problems. Resulting in whole body reconditioning. I suffer also with alignment issues and pelvic floor disfunction. I came to them weak and my spirits low. The staff has always treated like I mattered and Laura has always been a positive effect on my attitude and mind. She helps me to keep moving forward in being strong and not give up! It’s been a roller coaster has for my health. But I have just recently returned back to Smart body. Now as much as I enjoy the attitudes and atmosphere this is a place to get better and put your work in ! But the support is consistent and genuine! Valerie Driskell A patient

I’ve been going here for a few months to help with post-partum diastasis recti and general strengthening. I’ve been working with Laura Bunso and she is AMAZING!!! It’s made so much of a difference and I feel great. I definitely have noticed a big difference, I’m stronger and much fitter than when I first walked in. A definite must for women

Great experience at Smart Body! My daughter was treated for a knee injury at the beginning of summer and after a few weeks of therapy and continued practice of at home exercises she has fully recovered! Laura was very knowledgeable in explaining to my daughter how strengthening certain muscles would help improve her injury as well as prevent future problems and improve her play on the volleyball court. Highly recommend their services!

The staff is knowledgeable and very helpful. Laura is very professional, but is also so very kind and relaxed that you feel as though you are having a cocktail with a friend! Thank you!!!!

Laura is so knowledgeable and compassionate . She totally knows her stuff and helped me to see light at the end of the tunnel. One thing I really love about Laura is her willingness to teach me how to do physical therapy on my own and take charge of my own healing. She's honestly the best therapist who I've ever seen.

I can't say enough good things about Laura Bunso. She is very knowledgeable, insightful and hard-working. A 16-visit intensive physical therapy course resulted in such significant improvement, that I didn't think was ever possible. Thanks to Laura, I now know how to do the Kegel exercises correctly and can actually use them to improve pelvic floor strength. She also has a wonderful team working for her - everyone was very friendly and professional.

I'm grateful for their high quality of care. I know I'll have a higher quality of life when physical therapy is neoeded as preventative care with diagnoses that are chronic in nature. They use the Healigo app if I want a paperless option--which I LOVE. I have my exercises wherever I go (I don't always perform where my handouts are). The app lets me communicate how I'm doing on my exercises, reminds me if I desire, etc. The therapists are knowledgable about my genetic disorders and it informs a unique program. They always seek more knowledge and have never risk hurting me. They stay abreast on the latest chronic pain research and I've been surprised by how applying to therapy had immediate, positive impact. The culture is positive and affirming. I often feel weak, as though my body is on a steady decline. They are always--with data--encourage and remind me that I am consistently making progress and am strong. They work as a team and have appointments available. No matter the surprises my body has in store next, Laura and the SmartBody team has always accurately and professionally helped me overcome each challenge.

I'm a disabled veteran who had multiple issues that needed work. By far the worst were the shoulders which both ended up needing surgical treatment and multiple screws. After working with Laura's staff I was able to rebuild a physical foundation that allowed me to get back to some semblance of physical activity. I've since lost 65lbs and feel like I've gotten back 80% of the strength I lost over the years. Thanks Laura from a very grateful patient.

Laura and her staff are extremely knowledgeable and have helped me when others couldn't diagnose me. I had stress fractures in both feet and went to many doctors without a diagnosis for two years. After one visit with Laura, she listened to my symptoms, and told me it sounded like I had stress fractures. She was right. It was a long 6-8 months of recovery with a podiatrist and then I went to see Laura for my PT. She has since seen me for a sprained ankle, back pain, and a tailbone injury.

When I came to Smart Body PT I had serious doubts if would ever be able to ride my bicycle long distance ever again. After months of highly skilled and individualized treatment, I am now riding again almost pain free! I am so grateful! I cannot say enough for their professionalism, skill and caring. Special thanks to Laura and Jennifer who were great in designing a plan for me which has worked like a charm! I would recommend anyone with pelvic floor issues to seek them out. Excellent service! I can now go back to leading the healthy and fun lifestyle I have always enjoyed.

Laura literally gave me my life back! After having extensive GYN surgery for fibroids and endometriosis, I developed an issue with my pelvic floor muscles (a swollen pubococcygeus muscle) that caused extreme pain when I tried to have sex with my husband. Not the best experience for a newlywed! Being unable to have sex with your own husband is extremely frustrating and embarrassing and scary. Laura worked with me for 2 months to get me back to my pre-surgical functioning. She was extremely dedicated, kind, and thorough and answered my 1000’s of questions unwaveringly. She was so patient with me and helped me see the light at the end of the tunnel. I never thought that I would need help with my pelvic floor at 31. I was so scared and honestly, depressed that I had this happening. Laura taught me that I was not alone and I wouldn’t be incapacitated forever. I will forever be thankful to Laura and her physical therapy exercises, biofeedback, and her multitude of kind words and encouragement. Words simply can’t express my gratitude (and my husband’s)! Laura is so wonderful and she has made such a difference in my life. I highly recommend SmartBody PT to anyone out there who is having pelvic floor issues. Don’t sit at home alone, scared, and embarrassed. There is help out there and you can get your life back!
