  • 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!

    I can't say enough positive things about my physical therapist Remey Timo at Vertex PT in Cayce. From the moment I started my treatment, her attentiveness has been remarkable. It's clear that she genuinely loves what she does, and that passion shines through in every session. She consistently goes above and beyond to ensure I receive the best possible care, always taking the time to explain things thoroughly and make sure I'm comfortable with my exercises. What truly sets her apart, is her ability to personally relate to my experiences. As a fellow Army veteran, she understands the unique challenges and physical demands I’ve faced. This shared background creates a level of empathy and understanding that has been incredibly beneficial to my recovery. I feel truly heard and understood, which makes a huge difference in my physical therapy journey. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking compassionate and effective physical therapy. The entire staff is always friendly and I love the facility!

    The decision to go to Vertex has been terrific for my health and my mental outlook. I gained strength, better balance, more energy and focus. I regained flexibility and cardio capacity that I sorely lacked from a sedentary lifestyle. My PT was Thomas DeHaven, who directed movement and always encouraged me, and helped me to push forward. All of the staff were friendly and supportive. The facility is first rate and kept very clean. At 72 years old, I have a new outlook and want to continue working on improving my condition. I’m so grateful to the wonderful staff at Vertex

    My experience with Vertex PT Specialists was great. I started my therapy on May 02, 2023. I went in with sciatica nerve pain in my lower back and the pain was moving down in my left hip, and lower leg. I could barely walk. By the end of my first visit I felt so much better. Each therapy session was little challenging but each made me felt much better when I left to go home. "No pain, no gain!" I had my last session on June 26, 2023 and I feel great.Thanks to both therapist Mara and Anna. They are great. They were professional, kind and caring. They helped me to get back to doing task and things I love to do. I would recommend Vertex to others. Thanks, Vertex

  • Having Dr. Brandon Vaughan at Vertex PT take care of me was more than wonderful. His experience, care and manner in which he evaluated me and then helped me help myself was awesome. I have told many people if you have issues, go to Vertex.

    I saw Dr Vaughn who was very thorough examining me, getting a very detailed history of my issues, and telling me what to expect going forward. Great experience all around. Highly recommend this practice to anyone who is looking for a great physical therapy team in Columbia. I look forward to getting #betterfaster

    When I showed up for my first visit for help with my back I struggled to walk through the door. Josh worked with me and tailored a treatment plan that got me back on my feet. My back is now in better shape than when I strained it and thanks to these folks, I know how to keep it that way. I would recommend Vertex to anyone who needs superior physical therapist care.

    My son had a hamstring strain that recurred when he tried to return to sprinting on the field and it cost him most of his lacrosse season. We ended up seeing Brandon Vaughn at Vertex thinking active release treatment. Brandon quickly identified that ART wouldn’t benefit him and found a strength deficit In the hamstring(hip extension v. knee flexion). Brandon set up a strength and stretching program to get him back to normal. He also worked with him on sprinting drills and helped him progress to pain free sprinting. He gave him a plan to help keep him injury free in the future. If you (or your child) need help returning to the field or court I cannot recommend Brandon enough.

  • I’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).

    I highly recommend Vertex PT to anyone that needs physical therapy after a surgery. In my case, I underwent a pretty serious shoulder surgery, and was in physical therapy for about 5 months. The attention to detail and genuine care I experienced at Vertex was amazing. Tori and Killian were my main PTs - they were extremely knowledgeable, kind, and I looked forward to seeing them every week. They helped me recover safely, efficiently, and pushed me to get stronger too. In my opinion, 1 on 1 physical therapy is therapy is the way to go, and if I ever need physical therapy again, I’ll be sure put myself back on the schedule with them. You’re in good hands at Vertex!!!

    Excellent job getting me back after shoulder surgery. Atmosphere is challenging but fun and the therapists provide a positive one on one experience. Thanks Katie for the help. You are the best.

    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!
