Our promise is to deliver efficient, friendly and professional care at all times. Read what our patients are saying about the treatment they received at Avante Physical Therapy.
Jamie assisted me with my knee before surgery and explained to me what happened when I fell on my knee. She gave me specific exercises and clearly explained the knee operation and what I would experience. I hated for my therapy to end because the staff made me feel important and one of their family. My healing rate was excellent and I no longer have any pain. I am back to doing normal daily activities. Very pleasant experience.
I went from having extreme paint to virtually pain free. This is the first time in therapy that I felt I was truly listened to and given appropriate treatment for my problem. Jamie was always professional but friendly as well. - J.H.
I am currently pain free and able to do all of my normal activities. Everyone at Avante was very professional and friendly to work with-what a great experience!
I'm so grateful I was able to come to Avante for treatment (shoulder and neck pain); it has made all the difference and I have learned so much!
Thanks to Geert and all the staff!
"Of all the physical therapy places I have been to in the Raleigh area over the past 12 years (4 in all) this is the best. Thanks!" - P.P.
There's the obvious and expected pain relief that comes from having a knowledgeable and competent therapist. From Geert, I received instruction on very effective work including on going exercises. Avante's methods were unique and so effective.

I sincerely thank you for everything you have done for me!" - D.N.
"The staff have been wonderful. My care and exercise therapy is paying off with big dividends. Thank you." - D.M.
I had a very positive experience at Avante PT. I think the quality of care I received from Jamie was responsible for my dramatic improvement. I suffered with pain in my feet for 5 months until my feet became so inflamed I had difficulty walking and could not take a step without a considerable amount of pain. At this point I gave in thinking I did not have anything to lose, and I really did not expect therapy to help as much as it did. Along with therapy and good podiatrist recommendation form Jamie I was able to get back to functioning normally again. My therapist was so knowledgeable and professional, I would recommend her to anybody and consider her a friend as well! Had never tried PT before, but now I am a firm believer. Jamie Rocks! - C.B.

"Last Day of Physical Therapy"
Dear Karen:
In May 2003, I came to your office with pain in my SI joint and you suggested physical therapy. At that time, you mentioned that pills would make the pain subside but you wanted to make sure that I learned to understand/stop what caused recurring pain in that area of my right hip. You suggested that I go to Avante Physical Therapy.
I had my first appointment on May 7, 2003 at the Walnut Street office. My physical therapist was Geert Audiens.
Karen, this letter comes to you as a testimony that Avante is an excellent physical therapy facility with marvelous personnel! These past 3 months of treatment and exercising have been most rewarding and beneficial for me!
Indeed, by July 7 (2 months after my first appointment), Jim and I moved into our new home. During our move, I carefully carried cartons and furniture into moving trucks and then into the new house. During the past 2 weeks, Jim and I have also been painting inside our new home for 4-5 hours each night and my back is still doing very well (Geert cringed when I told him about all the physical things I have done, but it is his excellent help and his exercise plan for me which made me strong enough to do all of this activity). I even mow the lawn these days!!!!
I want to thank YOU for not just "giving me a pill and then sending me home." Instead, you helped me tackle the source of my problem (lower back weakness, slight curve in my back, poor posture, incorrect methods of lifting things, unnaturally twisting my body, etc.) ... and Geert's humor, encouragement, exercises, and honesty helped me to believe that "one day I would be okay again" and I am!
Please continue to send patients to Avante for physical therapy ... I know it has helped me immensely!!
Sincerely,
C: Geert Audiens, Avante Physical Therapy

I felt very "taken care of" here with Geert and the office staff. I was impressed by the level of attention and would definitely recommend Avante to someone else. Thanks!
When I returned to Andrea at Avante around the beginning of 2007 I had spent several weeks with limited movement of my left arm and shoulder and pain in my neck. Daily activities were painful but I now have almost total movement and little pain.
I'm impressed with the professionalism of the entire Avante staff and am glad to say that the treatment has produced results that are beyond my expectations.
Thank you so much! Geert was great and I feel so much better! I will definitely refer people here!
Jamie provided me with a plan, solid explanations about my injury and reasonable expectations with regard to my progress and prognosis. She is a warm, engaging professional who pushed me as hard as she could while recognizing that there is emotional and mental aspect to the physical work. With compassion for my pain Jamie achlowedged my progress and kept me motivated. She is the reason I kept coming back!
As a recent graduate of Avante (yes, I have my exit cup), I wanted to let you know you have a terrific therapist (Andrea) on your staff. My battered body was able to get back into shape. Thanks to Andrea I have a lot of mobility now that I didn't have right after surgery, and I can function pretty well. I feel confident that if I have a problem in the future I can call her to help me out! Thanks! - J.R.
Same patient story- after trying to get long term relief from general PT's I finally received a referral to Avante! Their hands-on therapy was so effective that I started to feel better right away. They continued the therapy until the area was strengthening to help prevent reoccurrence. I wouldn't go anywhere else! - N.G.
Avante PT and Andrea have been most helpful, professional and caring during my work to regain strength in my recent illness.

My reason for writing is to simply praise Andrea, one of the therapists. I was a lucky recipient of her professional services for a number of days and believe that I am qualified to say that she continually honors her profession with quality work. She complemented her work with innate human qualities: kindness, gentleness and a smile. The pain amazingly seemed to go away!
Sincerely, - J.C.
The results have been great! Best I've felt since Geert's treatment began for my shoulders and neck. I now have increased endurance and strength in general, and overall I just feel good everyday and sleep well. What can I say except that if it had not been for your personal attention and expertise I would still be suffering today. For your help, both Judy and I will be eternally grateful! Sincerely, - J.H.
PS: You may remember I suffered for years and no one could help and then we found you.
Kudos to Heather. She is very knowledgeable and an excellent manual therapist.
It was a great pleasure to be treated in your facility. My physical therapist was excellent.
PTs seemed to very knowledgeable and skillful, very professional yet friendly. PTs make you want to continue your treatment to the end. They are very encouraging, not discouraging.
Physical therapy helped me a lot during my recovery (ankle fracture): it gave me the confidence and helped a lot with the pain. I remember the pain before sessions and how I felt much better after therapy with Jamie. The rest of the staff was also very helpful!
Thank you all, - L.L.O.
I went to therapy where Andrea showed me many stretches and strengthening exercises to get me back to running long distances. After 3 weeks of seeing her twice a week and doing my home exercises I am now able to run pain free.
