Thrive Physical Therapy - Olathe's Online Review Report Card

Excellent care. Dr. Chelsea is great at finding the issue and working it out. Not only with adjustments but with showing how to do proper exercises to speed the healing. Highly recommend!!!

This woman is the smartest medical practitioner I know. She understands pain and how to treat it by addressing the whole body, not just spot treating symptoms.

Dr. Chelsea gave me my life back. I've been in chronic pain for two decades. In 2016, I began experiencing pain at rest, 24/7. Over the past decade, I've had to leave my Ivy-League PhD program, move back in with my parents, and abandon martial arts. I even applied for disability. Although I underwent several major surgeries to repair structural damage, my chronic pain persisted. I've seen countless specialists—physiatrists, pain management doctors, rheumatologists, and neurologists. Despite over 20 MRIs and countless injections, they either gave me obscure diagnoses that fit their specialty or admitted they had no idea what was wrong. If I questioned them, they dismissed me as if their expertise was immune to doubt. Dr. Chelsea figured out the source of my pain by truly listening to my concerns and treating me as an individual. She takes a holistic approach, focusing not just on a single joint but considering the entire body in her treatment. She is empathetic, knowledgeable, and encouraging. Ironically, issues dismissed by other doctors proved crucial in my treatment. She also uncovered a major misdiagnosis, accepted as accurate by multiple doctors, that had stalled my recovery for five years. Since becoming Dr. Chelsea's patient, my pain has radically improved. I'm finally feeling like myself again. I can enjoy a book without neck pain and do activities like going to the gym, walking my dogs, or shoveling snow—things I thought I'd never do without pain. Yesterday, I ran two miles on a treadmill. The last time I tried to run was in 2020. For the first time in my life, I ran without pain and I didn’t hurt the next day. Her treatment plan is life-changing, and I'd recommend Dr. Chelsea over any physical therapist.

Chelsea is amazing. She has tremendously helped my elementary age child with chronic nerve and joint pain. She is extremely knowledgeable, caring, and fun. My child leaves our visits feeling better physically and with a positive mental attitude. I cannot recommend her enough.

Dr. Chelsea is an active listener and collaborator who is focused on her client's goals first. She and I are completely aligned on the treatment plan, she answers all questions before/after each session. The experience is personalized and I am realizing the expected benefits when I hold myself accountable to doing the exercises she outlines in the treatment plan. Given the other services she offers, she is my one stop shop for Physical Therapy. Would recommend you contact her.

I work hard labor: on roofs, working concrete, and carrying heavy loads all day. Chelsea’s skills keep my getting old aches at bay and allow me to perform at my peak potential. A much better investment of money vs. a massage or a visit to the chiropractor.

Thrive Physical Therapy provided the support my recovery required. Chelsea’s knowledge of and attention to the body, coupled with her understanding of scaffolding and incorporating a variety of techniques to alleviate pain and build strength was why I stayed. When I started coming to Thrive Physical Therapy, I could not sit or stand for longer than 15 minutes without pain, a pain that increased in intensity and became debilitating, not ideal for an active teacher and community organizer. Chelsea gave me the tools to use at home and guided me along the way to a recovery where I could again enjoy many previous activities, in addition to work. If you are seeking a physical therapist, I recommend you choose Thrive Physical Therapy. You’ll be choosing a very knowledgeable, intuitive and caring setting.

Chelsea is very good at what she does! I’ve been seeing her for my TMJ issues and I’ve really noticed an improvement. I appreciate that Chelsea educates her patients on the problem area and explains why the exercises she assigns will help and what is going on behind the scenes in your body. We ended up adding in other exercises to help with areas like knees, upper back, and neck. Not only is Chelsea a great PT, but she’s also a great person who I enjoy talking to. If you’re looking for a PT I highly recommend going to Thrive and seeing what she can do to help you!

I have had the best physical therapy with Dr. Chelsea! She works exclusively with me during my appointment. I've seen her for my recovery from a hip replacement as well as both knee replacements and I would not go anywhere else!

I first visited Dr. Chelsea Jerabek after suffering horrible hip pain for months. She was so helpful. She did an extensive evaluation and really took her time with me. She was professional and highly knowledgeable. My hip pain was greatly reduced after the first visit and gone after three weeks. Dr. Jerabek is nothing short of a miracle worker and has a true gift of healing. I highly recommend Dr. Jerabek. She is amazing. You won’t find care like this anywhere else.
