Patient Comments

“What an amazing benefit we get to enjoy as employees of the Space Program here at KSC! Rather than missing more than a half day from work to go outside and receive therapy, we can receive superior service and miss no more than an hour from work. Talk about value added; this is it! Please commend the athletic trainers for the second to none service that I know was provided not just for me, but I am sure for everyone that comes through the RehabWorks doors at KSC.”


“I want to thank you, for being so caring and good at what you do. Your kindness, thoroughness, and the way you went above and beyond to work with me is amazing. We are lucky to have you here at KSC.”


“I think having RehabWorks onsite is one of the greatest benefits to KSC employees. Rehab can be fit into the workday with little travel and allows patient to get back to work quickly. This improves employee health and morale, leading to a more productive employee.”
