For over a year, Ive had constant lower back pain. It hurt to bend over, stand for long periods of time, and honestly, only would feel good if I were lying down flat. The pain had caused me to stop working out and being active, and it began to take over my life. Finally, I realized that I had to do something about it or I would end up living with constant pain for the rest of my life. I began to research treatment options, and found One on One Physical Therapy, and Dr. Seth Oberst, who specializes in working with people who have been suffering with complicated pain conditions. At first, I was nervous to go, as they were out-of-network with my insurance company, and this meant I had to pay a little bit more each session. Then, I went to go see him and realized how amazing personalized, one-on-one physical therapy really is. Not only did Seth completely rid me of my back pain, but I learned so much about my back, why I was having pain to begin with, and how to stay out of pain in the future. Seth is extremely educated and knowledgeable and even has his own blog! I have seen 2 other physical therapists in the past, who worked for large companies, and every time I would come to my appointment, they would be working with me and at least one or two other people at the same time. Each time I saw Seth, I would receive completely individualized, personal attention for the full hour of my appointment. I really cannot say enough about my experience with both Dr. Seth Oberst and One on One Physical Therapy, and recommend them to the highest degree! For me, the extra cost of going out-of-network was well worth the final result of being pain-free. Although I still do the exercises Seth recommended, I now am able to live an active life without pain!

I originally went to One on One Physical Therapy for pelvic floor issues and a diastasis recti - ab separation from pregnancy. I was very impressed with the professionalism and excellent quality of care that I received from Dr. Jessica Reale. She is very knowledgable and helpful. She explained these problems in easy to understand terms and gave me many exercises and tips that were helpful. I also have a herniated disc in my back so I currently see Dr. Alexis Lowery for back physical therapy. She is also very professional and extremely knowledgable. I appreciate how she explains why I have certain pain and impressed by how she relieves the pain through various techniques and exercises. She has given me helpful advice, stretches and exercises. It is very rewarding seeing the results and knowing that the physical therapy is working. Both Jessica and Alexis have a passion for their work and you can see this in the time that they spend with patients as well as how they listen to their patients concerns. For example, I really missed working out so they incorporated pilates into the physical therapy. I am so happy that I found One on One Physical Therapy because I now am able to provide childcare for my baby and I am feeling stronger. I highly recommend One on One Physical Therapy for anyone seeking relief from injuries and ways to return to activities again.

My journey through insidious, chronic hip pain has been challenging and debilitating. What had started with a pinching sensation during squats spiraled quickly into MRI’s, surgery and six different physical therapists who provided me with labels of dysfunction, but ultimately, no resolution to my pain. After two years of failed treatment, I started to lose hope. Naturally, I was doubtful when Dr. Oberst was recommended to me. As a formerly active Crossfitter, I desperately wanted to be back at the gym, so I reluctantly scheduled a consultation. From my first appointment, Seth’s professionalism, skill and empathy were apparent. His refreshing optimism for my improvement was paired with a tailored plan of painless exercises to scaffold my restoration. In the first few weeks, my hip pain not only decreased, but I was breathing better, had increased range of motion, and greater confidence in my movement. Dr. Oberst’s use of research-based, efficient practices have helped me to reclaim the athleticism I had lost, but his innate ability to also coax away my fear of pain and re-injury has been equally empowering. I am now not only squatting comfortably and with better form, I am on my way back to the gym and on with my life. I look forward to continuing to improve under his guidance and expertise. My only regret is that I did not meet him sooner!

As an avid runner, I was recently facing the prospect of a marathon being a month away and a nagging foot pain that I had tried to ignore off and on for the past year. I finally decided enough was enough, and wanted to get it checked out to run the best marathon I could. Alas, I made an appointment at One on One and was lucky enough to be assigned Dr. Seth Oberst, who is a genius and a lifesaver. He went through an initial diagnosis of my foot, listened to the symptoms I told him I had, and spent time with me in a few sessions the month prior to the race to make sure my foot was as good as it could be. Not only was I able to finish the race, which I had relegated as my secondary goal, but I was able to set a new personal record, which I really cant thank Seth enough for. If youre a runner and have any sort of nagging injury, dont walk, "run" to see Seth to get yourself running healthy again!

Rating: 5.0 By: Claire Comment: I have been seeing Dr. Mari Smith the last 8 weeks for balance issues at One on Ones newest location in Smyrna. I have had very positive experiences with a number of their PTs over the last few years, and my sessions with Mari, learning about the vestibular system, are no exception. She is knowledgeable, creative, a great communicator, and delights in seeing her patients respond to treatment. I have appreciated her holistic approach to my somewhat unusual cluster of symptoms. She combines her caring spirit with a strong passion for her work, which is such a benefit for her patients. I have enjoyed the experience of rehabbing on the Alter G treadmill and highly recommend it for building strength to increase mobility. The office staff is pleasant, organized, and welcoming and the environment is peaceful and pleasant. I am grateful to have been referred there.

I was going to One on One to treat abdominal separation after childbirth. My therapist, Jessica Reale, was absolutely amazing. She was very attentive to my concerns and provided comprehensive care, while explaining the purposes behind each technique. After 12 weeks, I saw a substantial decrease in my abdominal separation and increase muscle connectivity, which allowed me to resume activities that the separation previously prohibited me from doing. Moreover, because Jessica understood my desire as a former athlete to engage in significant exercise, she arranged a multi-therapist session with Therapists Alexis and Seth. Alexis and Seth were equally great, as they provided running, squatting, and lifting techniques that would not aggravate my abdominal separation. Needless to say, I highly recommend One on One for all women health needs!

Jessica Reale was my PT from 2010-2013, before, during and after my second child was born. I cant really say enough about Jessica, shes an amazing PT, very professional, extremely knowledgeable about her specialty area (womens health/pelvic floor/etc.) and her personalized attention shows through her outside the box thinking for my specific needs. This included additional research to help my healing process and variety of methods to resolve my pain. Every session with Jessica left me more knowledgeable about my own body, which is priceless to me as a very active mom of 2 and avid Yoga practitioner and instructor. No one could ever fill the shoes Jessica left behind in Greenville, SC. Her enthusiasm, honesty and care is unlike anyone Ive seen in the medical field. Thank you Jessica for the awesome care and friendship over the years!
