Patient Testimonials
Fantastic Team!
I definitely recommend Rob and his team to anyone who wants not only to feel better but also to learn to keep that “better feel”. I have had back problems since a child (family trait) and a serious back injury at 13 and have been treated by numerous PTs through the years – frequently with little relief. Seven years ago, Rob not only greatly improved my conditions through his treatments and exercises, he also taught me much about what was actually happening in my back. He helped me, a lifelong non-sports participant, to push myself physically and to continue even after discharge to exercise and work myself into physical activities. His help was life-changing.
When this year, at 80 years of age, I suffered a frozen shoulder due to arthritis, I again sought out Rob at Joint Effort. I now have almost full range of motion in my shoulder – and a much more friendly back. My sincerest thanks to this fantastic team.

I’m 5 weeks in and my life has changed.
I was skeptical going in I’ve been to one of those huge PT places, felt uncomfortable & I didn’t feel like the plan was tailored for me. Here Dr Rob explained my mri & due to a brain injury my cognitive & coordination skills lack. Learning the yoga moves I explained my issues & he never batted an eye & started giving me instructions I could understand. It was like he was trained in that area which was so nice because I can’t explain how frustrating it is when someone doesn’t understand I learn differently and so many times I leave places not taking away anything. He also printed instructions with pictures. He was honest & upfront with me, I felt very comfortable which helped me to decide to trust him and give it a shot! The best decision I made for my life was to walk into this clinic. I was having to use a chair during the shower & was struggling to get dressed. I’m 5 weeks in and my life has changed. This clinic has top class people working here & I’m so grateful for Dr Rob & Thomas!

They found ways to help me with less pain and still achieve my goals.
Everyone here is so kind and helpful. They went out of their way to help me achieve my goals. I had a few complications along the way and they listened to me and helped me resolve the problems. When my own surgical team wouldn’t listen, Joint Effort did and they gave me information to share with my doctor, which got their attention. After that I received the help I needed.
PT can be difficult and painful, but this group is so caring, and showed great compassion. They found ways to help me with less pain and still achieve my goals. They also taught me how to be able to help myself. I can not thank them enough.
I’ve been other places, and I’m telling you, Joint Effort is the best by far. No comparison. I absolutely love this place and feel so blessed that I found them.

I am walking without a cane!
Thanks to Megan, Dedrick & Thomas for therapy I received after my total hip replacement surgery in October 2021. Megan helped me feel at ease on my first visit. She answered all my questions( I had a lot!) & gave me the confidence that I needed. Within the 1st week, I was walking without the walker & cane. I’m glad I picked Joint Effort, it’s a comfortable atmosphere, has a friendly staff, & provides excellent care. I’ll be back for therapy of the other hip!

Much better than my last clinic - you get individualized care
I’ve had a great experience and substantial improvement in my shoulder utilizing dry needling. Much better than my last clinic – you get individualized care and not simply put through the exercises over and over again.

He knew exactly what was wrong and after 2 visits my pain was gone.
I have not ran a 5k in over 5 years well ran more than a mile due to severe pain in my right hip/leg. Today I ran a 5k! Thank you!! I had gone to multiple providers previously and just thought I had to deal with it. My trainer Richard Webb encouraged me to come to Joint Effort. He knew exactly what was wrong and after 2 visits my pain was gone. He had to adjust my SI joint a couple more times but now I’m set! I am so happy I can run again. Just have to get my time down but that’s on me. Definitely recommend Joint Effort!!!

They help you get pain-free!
I went to Joint Effort because of lower back problems. I found the staff, led by Rob Jordan, to be courteous, helpful, and professional. Gretchen Cellers has helped me tremendously. Gretchen has helped me regain the ability to walk further than I have been able to in years. She has also worked to help me with my hip problems. I have been taking periodic cortisone shots in my hips for many years. I was able to skip the last set of shots I was scheduled to take, largely due to Gretchen’s diligence and expertise. I really feel that, if you need therapy, you can do no better than Joint Effort.

I love my progress!
I was referred to Joint Therapy by a good friend and couldn’t be more satisfied with the care I have received. I have been a patient for 9 months now and have made tremendous progress (I had to learn to walk again) with their help! Rob, Gretchen, and Derrick combine a professional approach in a very friendly manner! I highly recommend my good friends!

Comfortable environment & knowledgeable team!
Best Physical Therapy in Missouri and Arkansas. The Staff is knowledgeable and caring. Clean environment. I felt I could trust them with my joint pain not to overdo it and feel so sore I didn’t want to go back. They stay with you and make sure you are comfortable in your therapy and doing it correctly. My questions regarding my treatment were taken seriously and answered immediately.

They get you to pain-free!
If anyone has neck pain, they should come to see you! Well if they have any pain they should come to see you. I could tell a difference after the first day.

I highly recommend them!
I first became Rob’s patient when I was 7 years old because I have (was born with) Cerebral Palsy—a neuromuscular challenge impacting the way I walk. Rob was relentless in his efforts to improve my mobility—which he did drastically. He also guided my extensive rehabilitation following two CP-related surgeries. Now in my mid-thirties, I live a full, independent life—much credit and gratitude for that goes to Rob.
I fell this past weekend and hurt my shoulder. I knew I needed Rob’s help. He scheduled me a next-day appointment for deep tissue laser treatment—something I had not done previously. As always, he and Gretchen enthusiastically welcomed me into the office and were genuinely concerned about my injury. Rob thoroughly explained the laser treatment before we began and ensured I was comfortable throughout the treatment itself. I know it will expedite my healing process.
Given all my experience with physical therapy throughout my life, I can say with certainty Rob and Gretchen are the best. They continually distinguish themselves with their commitment to learning/utilizing new treatment methodologies and seeking the most effective treatments for patients. What I love most about them, though, is the authentic compassion and care they demonstrate for all patients. It is an extraordinary experience knowing their jobs are so much more than “jobs” to them.
I have referred countless people to them over the years and will continue to do so! If you need PT, schedule an appointment today! I promise you will be glad you did!

The physical therapy works!
My Doctor sent me to therapy to see Rob for vertigo. I’m thinking, ‘What, why?’ but it works! His routine was great! I had to come back for a second visit just to tell him he’s the man!

I would recommend joint therapy for anyone needing a physical therapist!!

I can now stand and walk again pain-free!
Rob saved me! After driving thousands of miles, my back was severe. He used the dry needling and laser and I could stand up and walk again! I would recommend Rob, Tammy, and Gretchen to anyone suffering physically. And they are great people too!

Pain diminished and walking better!
Five months ago I walked into Joint Effort with a cane. My knee was swollen, I was in considerable pain and lost hope. By the end of my first week of therapy, my pain diminished, the swelling was going down. By two weeks, I could walk without a limp and my leg was beginning to straighten. I have gone to physical therapy under the guidance of Rob and Gretchen three times a week since then. I felt so much better that when I visited the surgeon with my MRI, I was fully expecting instructions to finish my physical therapy with a clean bill of health. I was taken by extreme surprise when I was shown the picture of my knee without any cartilage. A knee replacement is inevitable and is scheduled March 4th. I feel supremely confident that PT I’ve received has strengthened the muscles around my knee. This will help ensure that the knee replacement well be successful. I will be walking through Joint Effort’s door on the road to recovery!
