616 Physical Therapy 3669 Plainfield Avenue Northeast, Grand Rapids, MI 49525

"I’m an avid participant in a habit-forming sport that challenges most parts of the musculoskeletal system to hold together. Not golf. No rides. Tennis—quick sprints, stopping on a dime, jumping, bending, torso rotation, 100 mph serves, and the occasional ball in the face. Turns out my system has multiple weaknesses. Kari is among the top physical therapists and doctors who’ve treated me over the decades (I’ve seen a lot of them). Kari’s been treating me for three years and has helped me play pain-free. She’s patient, kind, knowledgeable, analytical, creative, and unfailingly effective. Thanks, Kari!"

"I was referred to Dr. Kari Chappell from a gym I was trying out a couple years ago. I had been experiencing residual affects from long ago injuries left unaddressed and could get no relief from pain let alone start a workout routine. Dr. Chappell addressed the source of my pain, but she did not stop there. She treated my whole body and helped me push through the limits I thought I had. She is so incredibly kind and calming while providing the motivation and knowledge needed to get me where I needed to be. I left every session feeling rejuvenated not just physically, but also emotionally and mentally! In between sessions, Dr. Chappell always provided me with a detailed workout regimen, and always took the time to make sure I understood exactly how to do each stretch or exercise correctly and with correct form. Dr. Chappell is the standard I will measure any further physical therapy against. I loved working with her!!"

"I was one of Kari's clients in her Denver office and have nothing but amazing things to say about her! I was recommended by a friend and came in pretty rough shape and Kari worked with me 100% of the way. Kari was never hesitant to answer my questions and made sure that I had a full recovery and was back to normal as fast as possible. Kari's knowledge of the muscles, mobility, and overall human body is outstanding, and she was able to describe everything in detail. She will make sure you are aware what is going on and what to avoid/ start doing and is very easy to talk too. Not only is she great at her job, but also a genuinely friendly person and incredible easy to speak with making sure you feel comfortable. I would not recommend anyone else for physical therapy outside of Kari!"

"I first met Dr. Kari Chappell while recovering from an Achilles tendon rupture surgery in 2017. I was immediately struck with Dr. Chappell’s professionalism while providing outstanding physical therapy. I was so impressed with Dr. Chappell’s approach to physical therapy I continued to work with her over the years. Dr. Chappell knows the human body so well she helped fix, for example, an aching hip by working on my opposite calf and shin area. This, combined with working on my gait, helped alleviate the pain in my hip. In addition to her incredible knowledge, Dr. Chappell combines a gentle approach to healing with a motivation to achieve functional strength. Dr. Chappell’s greatest strength, however, is her personality. During our sessions she is always engaged, energetic, and motivational. Dr. Chappell is truly wonderful to work with."
