The Center for Physical Rehabilitation

My clinical rotation experience (Aug-Oct 2025) as a student physical therapist (from GVSU) at The Center for Physical Rehabilitation was nothing short of amazing. My instructors - Bekah VanZegeren and Nick Manzer - provided me with learning opportunities that pushed me to grow as a future clinician in ways that I didn't expect. I not only grew in clinical knowledge but also as a person because of how great of examples and leaders they are. Nick and Bekah took me under their wings, taught me the in's and out's of sport specific rehab and I now feel the most prepared I have ever felt thus far in my schooling. I feel confident in my decision making, independence, and patient care. CPR is an incredible company for students in PT school to complete their clinical rotations at. Everyone is welcoming, kind, and the company as a whole truly understands and implements how to build up and challenge their employees and clinicians to be the best they can be. And - the environment is just a generally fun place to be:) I would gladly recommend any current or future PT students to consider completing a rotation at CPR.

Fantastic experience with CPR! I worked with Cheryl for hip/glute pain that began while training for a half marathon. I truly enjoyed my time with Cheryl. She’s so friendly, I was very comfortable with her. Additionally, she was quickly able to identify the root of my issues and teach me the stretching and strengthening exercises needed to eliminate my pain. She also used video gait analysis to help me find shoes that were a better fit for me. I’m very glad to have worked with her, thank you Cheryl! :)

I saw Victoria at the Lowell site for a shoulder issue. She was knowledgeable and helped heal my shoulder pain. She used progressive methods and gave me unique exercises which would affect the whole body not just the area of pain. I would see her again and I highly recommend her.
