“ I had the pleasure of having PT after a vertebrae break with Sam Snelgrove. Sam was fantastic in every way. He was kind and patient and helped me to understand the exercises and ensure I was doing them in a manner that would best strengthen the areas that I needed to in order to increase my mobility and strength. He also helped me to customize a home routine with things I had in the house so I could safely do exercises when I didn’t have appts. He showed interest in my personally. My mobility improved much faster than I expected and I felt blessed to have found Sam. ”

“ Aging gets us all in different ways. I started experiencing severe discomfort in my lower back and sciatica pain in my left leg. I tried stretches and hot packs--looked for resources on YouTube. Finally, I made my first appointment at PT at acac Waynesboro. My first appointment was in January. Sam Snelgrove completed a comprehensive exam to determine any issues related to balance and flexibility. We started a course of exercises that resolved my pain within 4 weeks. The staff is professional and provides consistent and focused attention on one client at a time. Turned to Sam again as I started to experience vertigo. PT at acac team members taught me very important maneuvers to help me manage the symptoms. I strongly recommend Sam and the team. ”
