Drayer Physical Therapy Institute

"I spent 6 months working with Mari, Brendan, Leah, and all of the awesome techs and assistants here post-hip surgery. They made the recovery process so much easier! They really took the time to get to know me and my functional needs so I could get back to my job and life as it was before surgery. They all worked together so well and professionally and made the clinic environment so positive! I can't say enough good things about that team at Drayer. My surgeon was always pleased with my recovery process and dismissed me at the 6 month mark with a nod to how great my PT was for recovery. Much love and credit to this clinic!"

"Everyone who works there (and I do mean everyone, at least that I've interacted with) is professional, thoughtful, empathic, knowledgeable, and patient, from Marisol Clark (the amazing lady in charge) to the students and physical therapy assistants, to Mitzi, the clerk at the front desk. When I started going, I was in pain every day and had very little range of motion in my arm and neck. I just finished an appointment at Drayer, working with Marisol, Allie, Sebastian and Kayley and I walked out feeling almost brand new. That's just today, though... I've also worked with Kelly (who works at other Drayer locations in Columbia) and Zoe, who are just as excellent. They all work hard and are all very thorough, no matter what time of day you come in, day after day. I'm 43, I've been working behind a desk for my entire adult life, and I'm no athlete. I don't even exercise regularly and I eat too much. Even so, I feel better now than I have in a long time. Office work has sent me to several physical therapists and all too often, there's a culture of athleticism and judgment. Not at this place. Everyone, no matter what age, ethnicity, disability or shape, gets treated kindly and with respect to both physical and mental health. Please, if you have any doubts about how effective physical therapy can be for you, and you're suffering, give this place and these people a try. I can't recommend them highly enough."

"Literally the best in Columbia, they are like family and so knowledgeable. Only in week 3 and i feel improvement!! Even on my bad day I came to my appointment and they made my day so much better without realizing how I was feeling before walking in I leave feeling like a new better person inside and out everytime! If you want a non judgemental safe space the knox abbot office us the best!"

"I can't begin to thank everyone at Drayer in Cayce for all the fantastic PT that I received there. This is the best group that I have ever worked with. Marisol, Bea, Amanda, and Morgan along with the other staff members went "out of their way" to make me feel comfortable during my sessions. My pain has certainly been helped by their expert care. I would high recommend Drayer in Cayce for anyone in need of PT. They are definately a 5 star theraphy institute."

"The staff welcomes you by name. All the staff makes you feel welcomed. The sanitation practices are phenomenal. I feel very safe using the equipment. Marisol is a great therapist and dedicates her expertise and knowledge making the patient feel cared for. Kaylee at the front desk always has a smile on her face, Julia assists Marisol when she is doing one on one with another patient. Julia too has a smile on her face. You might ask how can you tell if they are smiling when wearing a mask. You can tell my their tone of their voice and by the way the eyes look. My experience with Drayer was the best. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone that needs Physical Therapy. It's convenient on Knox Abbott to those that live in West Columbia, Cayce, Downtown Columbia, South Congaree and even Lexington."
