"Never a wait,…always welcoming, encouraging, helpful. Local boys taking care of local people! Thank you Keefer and Wayne!"

"Love Local PT! Everyone has been so welcoming, helpful and they really make you feel comfortable when you come in. The office is very clean and inviting. Scheduling appointments is super easy & they always try to accomidate me to fit my schedule. My therapist, Ryan is awesome! He is very focused, kind and caring towards my condition and never pushes me past my limits. I am learning new exercises each week and gaining more strength and I am having a lot less pain as I progress in my therapy. I highly recommend Local PT to anyone who has had a bad experience with other physical thereapy places. The Local PT team here in Dover has been nothing but great and you will feel the difference from the first minute you walk through their door!"

"Before I tried Local PT, I was thinking of chiropractic..upon referral to Keifer and I gave PT another try. I got more relief from my first visit with Keifer than I did at another local PT (2 or 3 x a week for 6 weeks). Immediately recognized that he knew what he was doing, what 'buttons' to 'push'. Highly recommend and would not go anywhere else after this experience. Thank you, thank you."

"Local PT truly embodies the warmth and care of a family. From the moment I walk in, I’m greeted by name, making every visit feel personal and welcoming. It’s clear that this team of physical therapists is passionate about what they do, and their dedication shines through in every session. Thanks to their expertise, encouragement, and tailored approach, I’m moving and feeling better than I have in a long time. I can’t recommend them highly enough!"

"Wayne, Tom, and Keefer have helped our family deal with injury recovery for years. They are always knowledgeable and professional. I would not go any place else to recover from injury or surgery."

"When I started PT, due to my own ignorance, I did not expect much. Boy was I wrong. Mike worked with my pain and adjusted the treatment based on my feedback. The atmosphere is so relaxing. Not only is my foot feeling so much better, I have even found benefits in my flexibility overall. Would undoubtedly recommend Local PT for anybody who needs physical therapy."

"I had my first physical therapy session with Michael Voltz on 2/21/2025, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From the start, he took the time to truly listen to my concerns, carefully assess my condition, and develop a thoughtful treatment plan tailored to my needs. He was patient and thorough in answering all my questions, making sure I felt comfortable and informed every step of the way. Michael’s expertise and professionalism give me complete confidence that I’m on the right path to recovery. Highly recommend!"

"Staff is amazing. I feel better than I have in 15 years. Much better than any PT place that I have been."

"Very caring, ask excellent questions to identify and correctly address all my concerns and needs."

"I highly recommend Local PT, especially Keifer, Wayne, and Ryan, for anyone in need of physical therapy services. Their expertise, professionalism, and genuine care for their patients make a significant difference in the recovery process. Scheduling appointments is easy and convenient, with flexible options that fit seamlessly into any busy schedule. The check-in process is simple and streamlined, ensuring a hassle-free experience every time. I’ve never had to wait for service, which speaks to their efficiency and respect for their patients’ time. The overall atmosphere at Local PT is both pleasant and professional. The staff fosters a welcoming environment where you feel comfortable and supported throughout your treatment. If you’re looking for top-notch physical therapy with outstanding service, I highly recommend Local PT and the dedicated team of Keifer, Wayne, and Ryan. They truly go above and beyond to help their patients achieve the best possible outcomes."

"Local PT is a great place. The staff is friendly and greet you with a smile. Kiefer snd Wayne are amazing and this is the place to be if you are in need of professional, caring and knowledgeable people. They are the BEST!"

"Local PT is the newest physical therapy place in the area. The therapists are very professional, knowledgeable and kind. Kiefer G. and Wayne W. have helped me so much in the past and now. They are by far the BEST!"

"Mike does a great job. He’s patient and very knowledgeable."

"Great place, really great staff. Would highly recommend."

"Skilled and compassionate care as always!"

"I am never disappointed at Local pt."

"I cannot recommend Local PT & Dr Woodzell enough! After struggling with pain and weakness in my shoulders for months, I was amazed at the progress I made within just one month of working with him. The expertise, personalized approach, and genuine care made all the difference. I’m now pain-free and feel stronger than ever. If you’re looking for a skilled and compassionate physical therapist who delivers real results, look no further!"

"Very professional experience all the way around. Easy and friendly scheduling.Clean and organized office. PT with Mike Voltz has been wonderful! He took time to really ask and listen before starting treatment and is constantly checking in and explaining what and why. He knows how to vary activities to keep things fresh, challenging, and even fun. I highly recommend Mike!"

"I started as a patient of Tom's 17 years ago and returned whenever I've needed physical therapy for issues with my back, knee, foot, and arm. I've always been pleased with how knowledgeable Tom and Wayne are, but to have a practice where the level of care matches the level of knowledge is unique! Tom and Wayne are very selective as to who provides care for patients in their practice, and having received PT services from Tom, Wayne, and Keifer, I knew exactly who I would be taking my son to see when he was diagnosed with a knee injury and needed PT services. Needing to be treated for an injury can be stressful, but all of the physicians at Local PT make the process bearable, and dare I say, fun even. Without reservation, I highly recommend Local PT to anyone in need of physical therapy."

"Very friendly environment Made me feel like I was working out in my own home If you need pt o would recommend you check them out"

"My daughter was experiencing achilles pain (left) when dancing en pointe. With only three weeks until her nutcracker production, Wayne and Keifer saw her twice a week, gave her exercises to do on her own, and worked with us on taping procedures. The progress in those three weeks was unbelievable. She said, after the show weekend, that she didn’t even feel it or think about it while she was on stage! Truly can’t thank them enough!"

"I recently experienced a complete tear of part of my left rotator cuff. In an effort to avoid surgery I am getting physical therapy. I heard of a new practice headed by my old friends Tom and Wayne and called them for a consultation. I'm working with Wayne and he has identified a program to get me back to using my arm and hopefully surgery. I'm just beginning this process but I'm confident he will be correct in his assessment. So far I've seen improvement and am hopeful for a good result. Very satisfied with everyone on the team."

"Great PT clinic. Clean. Easy to schedule. They listen and respect your input regarding your treatment. Highly recommend."

"Mike & his team are excellent. Have tried many different providers in the past, had almost given up. Seeing results for the first time. Recommend highly."

"Yo! I just wanted to give a shoutout to Kiefer Gooch at Local PT. After I hurt my arm riding a go cart, I was super bummed. But Kiefer Gooc totally helped me out. They were really chill and listened to what I was going through. The sessions were actually fun! I thought it would be boring, but we did all these cool exercises, and Kiefer Gooch always kept it light and funny. I always looked forward to going, which is saying something! The clinic was nice and clean, and everyone there was super friendly. Seriously, thanks to Kiefer Gooch, I'll be ready to be back on the baseball field way sooner than I thought. If you need a good physical therapist, hit up Kiefer Gooch. They rock!"

"This place is nothing short of amazing! I have been following Kiefer around since 2016, I am an athlete and whenever I have any sort of issue I am always taken care of. Kiefer is so professional and super friendly and down to earth. Everyone here is so hospitable and caring.❤️ I recommend them to EVERYONE!"

"I've been with Wayne as a therapist since 2004, and each time I've needed to see him, I've never been disappointed in his treatment. Wayne, the rest of the team and the environment in the facility when I come for my session is great. Definitely recommending Local PT to my patients/friends/family. "

"Look no further for PT care! This group is amazing.... Wayne was my personal PT & is hands down the best! Not only is he super knowledgeable & provides great, experienced care, he is a riot & has a knack for making your visit there entertaining. Kiefer & Tom are also amazing...just a fantastic PT group. From the moment you walk in the door, you'll feel like family. Very satisfied patient!"

"I was a recent patient of Wayne's at Local appt for a 6 week period. He is outstanding to say the least. Went above & beyond to address my needs and I am happy to say he gave me pain relieve that my physician was unable to do! Highly recommend Wayne and this group to anyone in need of PT care. Not only do you get high quality care, you'll make new friends and feel like family when you're there! By far the best in Delaware!"

"Look no further---this PT group is 5 star plus! Professional, skilled care in a family friendly setting. Couldn't be more happy with the care I received---will be back to normal activities soon. Wayne, Kiefer & Tom are simple top notch. Wayne was my personal PT---super knowledgeable & provided the best care. Wouldn't go anywhere else!"

"These guys are some of the best people I know and I actually look forward to PT every week. There’s no one better to help you get back to 100%!"

"Wayne is the Best! Wayne was my Physical Therapist for over 10 years. I am so happy that he is back in the area. He is upbeat, professional and he cares. He fit me right into his tight schedule and was able to get me seen medically bypassing the one to three months wait period that seems to be the current norm. Wayne is doing everything he can to get me back to where I need to be. I love that the facility is bright and clean and centrally located. I also love that I can schedule myself right from the website. Thank you, Wayne and Local PT, I very much appreciate you!"

"The place is great atmosphere treat you like family. The people make sure to get you back as quickly as possible. They take your injury serious it truly is great place to come!"

"I had the pleasure of working with Wayne for several months to address knee, hip and back pain. From the start, Wayne impressed me with a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment plan. The clinic itself is well-maintained and had a welcoming atmosphere. The staff was friendly, and scheduling appointments was easy and flexible. Throughout my treatment, Wayne was professional, knowledgeable, and attentive. He used a combination of manual therapy and exercises which made a real difference in my recovery. What really stood out to me was his approach to patient care. It wasn’t just a focus on symptom relief but also education on how to prevent future injuries or relapse. Thanks to Wayne and his expertise, I’m feeling significantly better. I highly recommend LocalPT to anyone in need of physical therapy."

"After living with neck and shoulder pain for years, my doctor referred me to Kiefer at LocalPT and they recommended dry needling as part of my recovery process. Dry needling is an almost painless intervention that gets right into the effected muscles and loosens them up. They got me started right away and made me feel very comfortable from the start. Kiefer came up with a plan that combines the dry needling with exercise and soft tissue manipulation, and the results have been amazing! After just a couple weeks, I have more mobility and the pain and stiffness in my neck is almost gone. I can do things that I haven't been able to do for years without pain. The entire staff at LocalPT in Dover is great. They're super knowledgeable and professional, but they make it so much fun to be there. They all get along so well and the jokes are always flowing. The place is open and inviting, and the hour just flies by. If you need physical therapy, be sure to check them out and schedule a consult. "

"The staff is vey knowledgeable and do a great job. The atmosphere is the best"

"I was a dissatisfied customer with my current physical therapy place. Needless to say the way my Doctor said that I needed more therapy I was able to state that I was unhappy at the place I use now. But when she stated that Wayne was back and now at Localpt I agree with more therapy. Wayne has a great personality and professional work ethic. I am not happy about more therapy but I know Wayne will get me back in working order."

"All the staff at Local PT is the best and very welcoming. Everyone there makes you feel so comfortable during your session. I have been assigned to Kiefer and he is great. He listens, takes his time and has taught me a lot about my injury. I have been coming for about a month and had since made a lot of progress. I recommend any and everyone to Local PT. I am sure you’ll be satisfied!!"

"Ever since I started treating here I felt like my muscles have gotten stronger compared to my other place of service. The therapists listen to every concern and explain everything in great detail, they’re very confident in the exercises and always make the appointments so much fun."

"As I walked in the door I was greeted with the most wonderful smiles from the staff, as well as the patients. Dr. Keifer is dedicated to curating a recovery plan that is tailored to me and my specific needs. I feel listened to and heard when I express my pain points and concerns with my recovery process and that in itself is hard to find. Everyone in the clinic is exceptional and I enjoy the in-office banter. I look forward to my weekly appointments and would highly recommend them as your future PT office."

"I have been going to Kiefer for preventative PT care for over 6 years now and I’m thrilled to be able to continue working with him and Wayne at the new Dover clinic. Both parties are extremely welcoming and thoughtful to all who enter the building. In addition their care is holistic and focused on long term pain relief as well as functionality. I have been especially grateful to receive care for long term lumbar pain from an injury that occurred almost 15 years ago. Due to their efforts and dedication I have been able to avoid surgical procedures. In addition I have been able to do athletic conditioning far beyond what I thought would be possible with these conditions at this point in my life. I’d recommend them and their services to anyone!"

"The guys at Local PT are great and definitely know their craft. They are not the typical chain PT facility and are very hands on with their patients. I came in with neck issues and they had straight very quickly. I highly recommend! "

"Highly recommend Local PT. Wayne addresses all my issues to help me keep working. I'm feeling so much better with his therapy. The whole staff is extremely friendly and you can tell they all love what they do with great service. Service with a smile which is hard to find in today's world. Reach out and you won't regret. Again hands down Dovers Best Physical Therapists. "

"I can’t say enough great things about Local Physical Therapy! From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by how clean and welcoming the office is. The environment is warm, inviting, and always puts me at ease. The staff is absolutely wonderful—so friendly, professional, and genuinely caring. They have been incredibly helpful in treating my neck issue, and I’ve noticed such an improvement since starting therapy here. The therapists are knowledgeable and patient, always making sure I’m comfortable and progressing at a pace that works for me. I highly recommend Local Physical Therapy to anyone in need of physical therapy. They truly go above and beyond to help their patients feel better and get back to doing the things they love!"
