Mario Valdes is truly one of a kind.After a major shoulder injury, I worked with Mario for 18 months, and he took me from barely being able to sleep or drive without pain to where I am today—training for a Hyrox competition.What sets Mario apart is that he is not your run-of-the-mill physical therapist. He works 1:1 with his patients and has an incredible depth of knowledge, using modalities and techniques that most PTs simply don’t have the time or expertise to incorporate.He didn’t just help me recover—he helped me rebuild my strength, confidence, and ability to do the things I never thought were possible. And now, I consider myself a forever patient because he’s also helping me stay strong, move well, and prevent future injuries.If you’re looking for a PT who truly understands the body and treats the person, not just the injury, I cannot recommend Mario enough. He’s exceptional, and I’m incredibly grateful for everything he’s done for me.
