Thomas is not only highly skilled and knowledgeable but also genuinely cares about his patients' well-being. He took the time to listen to my concerns and thoroughly assessed my condition before tailoring a personalized treatment plan. Throughout my sessions, Thomas demonstrated exceptional expertise in a wide range of techniques and exercises. He explained each step of the process in a way that was easy to understand. he has the ability to motivate and inspire. He consistently provided positive reinforcement, pushing me to achieve my goals while maintaining a safe and supportive environment. The clinic itself is clean, well-equipped, and conveniently located. The staff members were friendly and accommodating, always ensuring a smooth and pleasant experience. Thanks to Thomas and Vertex exceptional care, I have made significant progress in my recovery. I am grateful for their dedication, expertise, and genuine concern for my well-being. If you are in need of physical therapy, I wholeheartedly recommend Thomas!

July 12, 2024These guys are fantastic. All the staff treat each other and their patients like family, very accommodating with times and scheduling, and most importantly, they take the time to ensure the patient is cared for, and healed. Highly recommend!

April 12, 2025As a distance runner who had to go back to physical therapy due to an injury related to a previous running injury, I was wildly impressed with Vertex PT Specialists and how they treated my injury. Thomas DeHaven was my PT and did a great job of figuring out the source of my pain and building a rehabilitation program to get me out running within a few months. He’s also the first PT I have had who is also a runner, and he was great about teaching me how to balance my running with other exercises. This place depends heavily on improving the strength using the body’s center of gravity rather than using machines, which I believe is better for long-term rehabilitation. The clinic is clean and welcoming, the atmosphere is friendly, and everyone there seems really happy.

July 12, 2023I’m very active in the gym and I’ve had a hamstring strain for almost a year. I have literally tired everything you could think of to cure my issue, a chiropractor, another PT place and my doctor recommended this place to me. I was hesitant at first since I already had a bad experience with PT but Killian at Vertex PT knows his stuff and was very informative. He gave me multiple exercises to do that helped me tremendously along with dry needling which was a game changer for the tightness and pain in my hamstring. If you’re looking for good quality 1 on 1 physical therapy I can’t recommend this place enough. Save your time and money by coming here and they’ll take care of you. Thanks again Killian and the staff at PT for making this process way less depressing and boring. (Only tip I’d say is to make sure to cancel your appointment 24 hours prior (if you need to) as there is a late cancellation fee).

It was such a great experience coming here to rehabilitate my shoulder. The staff are so welcoming and excellent at what they do. Erin worked with me to help achieve my goals by creating specific workout routines to get me where I needed in a matter of weeks so I could come back to playing tennis. She encourages you to challenge yourself, but always prioritizes the recovery first. All of the staff create an awesome, fun environment with a wide range of equipment to target your needs. I recommend them to everyone!

July 12, 2024First of all this is my second staff of a Physical Therapy team. My first location was great but this team not only help me but they made me feel so welcome with each visit. My PT Erin gave me her undivided attention she didn’t waste my time nor hers. We worked from start to finish with each appointment; she would email links with videos for each activity we did and she left an open door opportunity for me to contact her if I needed her assistance. Vertex PT professionalism and dedication is an amazing experience.

July 12, 2023I had two knee surgeries earlier this year, and before we could even get to August, I’m back with little to no pain thanks to the talented trainers here. I couldn’t have come back as quick or as effective without Vertex! Edit: I recently had to come back for a bicep injury. Once again, a process that was supposed to take 6-10 weeks only took 4 weeks. Killian and co crush it everyday here, wouldn’t recommend anyone else!

January 1, 1970I recently finished around 3 months of physical therapy here. The staff here is impressive, and not simply because they’re knowledgeable, but mainly because they genuinely care about your well-being. I primarily worked with Erin who was nothing short of incredible. She took a very tailored approach to my care and adjusted my exercises and workouts as needed based on our conversations and her professional observations. I was definitely skeptical of physical therapy when I began, but I can confidently say that with real professionals like the staff at Vertex, you will definitely get better.

I have been coming to Vertex since February to pre-hab an ACL rupture and rehab (until at least next February) after the surgery. Primarily, I have worked with Brandon, but I have also worked with many of the other PTs. Everyone I have worked with is awesome, attentive, and caring. Brandon even gave me his energy drink once because I wasn't able to get one before coming in that morning. If you are considering PT for any reason this is the place to go!

September 12, 2024I went to a few different PT specialist in the Columbia before I was recommended to Vertex PT Specialist. Vertex goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and at home every time you come for a visit. All of the staff is great! I am so thankful for Dr. Mara Argyriou. She listened to me about my injury and most importantly she asked me what my goal was. Dr. Mara explained to me my issues and gave me at home exercises to do everyday or every other day to meet my goal. In just a few short weeks I was back to running and my normal workout routine. Thanks to Dr. Mara I was able to complete my first 10k and I’m still running every other day. Vertex PT Specialist is the best PT in Columbia South Carolina.

January 12, 2025I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Vertex PT Specialists – 12th Street. I started working with my physical therapist, Tori, back in November, and she has been absolutely outstanding every step of the way. Over the winter, she helped rehab my lower body, focusing heavily on mobility and isolation techniques that were specifically tailored to my needs. Thanks to her expertise and dedication, I saw real, meaningful improvement. One of the standout features of Vertex is the facility itself — it's spacious, well-equipped, and offers plenty of room for exercises that most PT centers simply don’t have the space to accommodate. This environment has made a huge difference in my rehabilitation journey, allowing me to work on a wider range of movements and techniques. I recently returned to continue working with Tori, this time focusing on my back and shoulders. Once again, she has gone above and beyond. Her personalized approach has not only made me stronger and more mobile, but she's also given me the tools and knowledge to build better posture and long-term body health. Tori is empathetic, encouraging, and keeps each session fast-paced and productive — a rare and refreshing combination. I would highly recommend Tori and the entire team at Vertex PT Specialists to anyone looking for a PT clinic that truly cares about your progress and overall well-being. They are top-notch professionals, and I'm grateful to have found them.
