Choose The Right Treatment For You
How quickly you recover from surgery is 100% dependent on the physical therapist you choose. Interview us before surgery to find out the success you can have and whether there are effective alternatives to surgery. Surgery has up to a 45% failure rate in alleviating pain. It is important that you get a 2nd opinion beforehand.
At Northern Edge Physical Therapy, we understand that making the right choice can be a difficult decision, which is why we are committed to ensuring that every patient receives personalized, evidence-based treatment designed to meet their individual needs and goals.

Dr. Garrick Herr
Physical Therapist PT, DPT, CMTPT
I have always been known as someone who genuinely cares for everyone I meet, and will go the extra mile to help people achieve their goals.
I have been a physical therapist in the MatSu valley since 2006 and have helped thousands of MatSu residents overcome their injury and get back to life. Whether it is recovering from surgery, suffering from migraines, low back pain, stroke, vertigo, ATV or sports injuries, I have worked with them all to help Alaskans to get back out there and enjoy what they love to do best.
I went to Graduate school at Loma Linda University whose motto is “To make man whole.” I believe that this is the key to healing, not just addressing one body part at a time, but rather restoring the whole YOU. Helping your body to heal from physical injury, gaining confidence that you can overcome this hurdle limiting your potential, and seeing you return to the things that define who you are is what I find the most rewarding. When we work together we can accomplish great things.
