My therapist worked miracles for me. She gave me printed instructions so that I could work on my own at home when I wasn’t at therapy. Everyone was very friendly. It was a pleasure to go there.Posted on Google![]()

I cannot say enough great things about Nicole Materkoski, DPT, and First Settlement Physical Therapy in St. Clairsville, OH! I followed Nicole to FSPT after being her patient at another physical therapy provider. Nicole is the best physical therapist I’ve had, and the FSPT location in Saint Clairsville provides a welcoming and calm environment that truly facilitates my recent total knee replacement (TKR) rehab. Nicole is a skilled diagnostician who adapts my PT sessions as my needs change during the healing process, and makes invaluable suggestions on things I can do outside PT sessions to strengthen and support my TKR. Her knowledge, skills, and sound advice are invaluable! I feel better than I have in 10 years, and am confident I am on the road to complete recovery after my TKR! I so appreciate FSPT having a Saint Clairsville location, and I highly recommend Nicole and FSPT St C for anyone’s rehabilitation needs!Posted on Google![]()

I’ve only been going here for a couple of weeks, but I’ve already noticed a real difference. The routines and exercises they give actually work and have helped with my pain and stiffness more than I expected. The staff is incredibly kind and supportive, and they’re always there to help whenever I’m uncomfortable or struggling. As soon as you walk in, you’re greeted with warm smiles from everyone, especially Miss Courtney, which instantly makes you feel welcome. She always has a helping hand out and is so attentive to what you need, and she even gives great suggestions about things you’re interested in, which makes the experience feel more personal. They make the whole environment feel encouraging and positive, which makes it so much easier to stay consistent. I’m really glad I chose this place and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for physical therapy.Posted on Google![]()

I feel so lucky to have found fspt. I've seen Nicole most of the time. When Nicole wasn't available I seen the other therapists. They are all wonderful. Nicole used dry needling on me with great results along with excercises. My knee is almost completely healed. They are knowledgeable and teach you how to help yourself. I feel so lucky to have found them. Friendly, welcoming and clean facility. Courtney is delightful when you walk through the doors.Posted on Google![]()

Most therapists are more specific and detailed with instructions during exercise. Like breathing techniques and specific muscles engaging. Makes a huge difference over being told what to do and the therapist taking a step back without critiquing you.Posted on Google![]()

I have been going off & on to PT for 30 years. Never have I ever had such a caring team to help me recover! Along my 1st Settlement journey, I encountered a young lady that has helped me immensely! So much that when she moved to a different city, I had to track her down! She, Laken Jones @ St. Clairsville, Ohio, doesn't dissapoint! THANKS LAKEN FOR ALL YOU'VE DONE FOR ME SO FAR!!!Posted on Google![]()
