SummitPT is amazing. I am a powerlifter that has struggled with low back/piriformis strain and pain for quite some time (months- a year). I made an appointment with Summit because I had heard about their expertise with strength athletes which was super important to me. My sessions were with Salena who is so professional, patient and just all around really nice. It was a pleasant experience to have her carefully listen to my issue and later craft a plan to get me rehabilitated. The sessions I had with Salena had me feeling better in no time and I was finally able to deadlift with no pain. What’s even better is that she also gave me exercises to do at home or before working out which is great because now I have an active mobility plan for my lower body that gets me prepped for my squat and deadlift days. If you’re interested in Summit, don’t hesitate and definitely schedule with Salena if you can! 10/10 experience.

I wish there were more than 5 stars for Dan! I came hobbling into his office, unable to walk, with a disc injury and massive lower back pain and nerve pain running down my leg. Dan's one on one attention to my specific issues, his care and expertise, have been completely fantastic! Only 2 weeks later, I have no pain, am stronger already and feel like Dan is the first PT who has ever completely tailored a program just for me. I cannot say enough good things about my experience!

I first worked with Dan several years ago, when he helped me overcome some significant lower back pain and I appreciated his approach so much that now I don’t hesitate to call him as soon as I have the slightest pain.
Dan takes his time to explain what’s going on with your body that’s causing the pain, which by itself goes a long way to helping you feel better. Then he works with you to come up with a therapy plan that’s actually realistic, prioritizing the pragmatic over an unattainable ideal. He’s also just a friendly guy. I’ve worked with him in-person and virtually and on everything from strengthening to dry needling and I’m a far healthier person because of it.

Dan Chapman was my physical therapist following a hip replacement. As an adult figure skater his therapy was designed not only to get me back to normal day to day life, he needed to address my return to skating. He did that. I looked forward to my appointments, even when the work was physically challenging. He’s a delight—thorough, professional and personable. I recommend him highly.

I have a herniated disc in my lower back that has led to many flare-ups. Dan Chapman made me feel like my health was of upmost importance. He explained that his goal was to get rid of my pain, strengthen my abs and back, and ensure that I didn’t need to continue physical therapy forever. Boom! 8 weeks later and I was feeling great.

I went to see Dan Chapman after having my ACL fixed (specifically patella tendon) and was worried about not making enough progress to be able to play sports/run. At the time, I was a graduating senior and wanted to be able to do everything with my friends before graduating. Without him, I wouldn’t have been able to play a round of golf or run 2 miles 4 months after surgery. He was by far the best physical therapist I have ever had. Dan Chapman should be your first choice if you need PT.

Dan is very down to earth, professional, knowledgeable, accessible and effective. He uses a variety of techniques and demonstrates genuine caring and competency. I had a complex hip/groin problem spring up out of the blue that was extremely painful and significantly limited my range of motion. Over the course of 8 weekly sessions, I gained strength and joint stability, regained my range of motion, and returned to 95% normal. I'm still doing the exercises and stretches and continuing to improve without needing more sessions. Thanks, Dan!

Dan Chapman is very professional. He made me feel good about the progress I made. I had a hip replacement and by the time I was done with therapy with him it seemed as though I never had a problem. He knew how to put me at ease. I would go to him again if I needed physical therapy.

I arrived to Grind after some time being away from the gym. My hope was to get back in the gym and focus on consistency, in order to get get back in to shape. However, my back pain always held me back from being consistent, it always interrupted my workouts. Luckily, I was introduced to Dan immediately by my trainer when I voiced my concerns. Dan was able to evaluate and pinpoint exactly where my discomfort was coming from on our first session, and prescribed me therapy to take home and work on. Sure enough my fears of back injury were addressed and avoided, and my goal of getting back in the gym and being consistent in my workouts is underway. It changed my mind set, eliminated my fears, and gave me hope that I was going to achieve my goals. I’m glad I spoke up and I’m glad I had Dan and the rest of the team at Grind to guide me. Dan has been professional, honest and encouraging, and I would highly recommend his expertise.

I have a complicated history of hip and knee replacements, shoulder problems due to arthritis, and serious balance issues. I fell a lot due to physical weakness and the balance problems. Dan evaluated me and designed a comprehensive therapy plan. Dan Chapman is professional yet friendly, a likeable person. I really felt he cared about me and cared about my continued progress.

I had a total knee replacement and knew I wanted to have my PT at the University of Delaware’s nationally acknowledged top PT clinic in the country. I had my right knee replaced 10 years ago and did NOT have the best post-surgical care, so I was concerned.
I met Dan at my first session and quickly knew I was in very capable hands. He was exceptionally knowledgeable and very hands-on. We both had the same goal – to get me back on my feet at quickly as possible! I found Dan to be well versed in what I needed to do and we had an agenda that we followed each and every session. In addition, he was able to send me home with exercises to do in between my scheduled sessions.
Dan goes above and beyond – even to the point that he called me after hours to check on me.
My knee has improved significantly in the past year and I am very happy with the results. I would highly recommend Dan for anyone with physical therapy needs. He has the best personality and genuinely cares about the general welfare of each of his patients.

My physical therapy with Dan was for a full knee replacement. I was very pleased with the professionalism and care he provided with my treatments. My recovery time was better than average which is a credit to Dan taking the time to formulate a meaningful program to meet my needs both during our sessions and with my home exercises. I was quickly able to return to work and my normal activities in much less time than expected. I would highly recommend Dan as he is caring, professional and takes the appropriate time with the individual to ensure quality care
