You Deserve Better Than Just Managing Your Pain
Too many people accept limitations that keep them from living the active life they deserve.
Chronic Pain Holding You Back
You've been dealing with neck, shoulder, back, or hip pain for months—or even years. It's affecting your work, your hobbies, and your quality of life.
Vertigo and Balance Issues
Dizziness and vertigo are disrupting your daily routine. You're worried about falling and losing your independence, and no one seems to have answers.
Treatments That Only Mask Symptoms
You've tried other approaches that provide temporary relief but never address the root cause. You're tired of feeling stuck in the same cycle.
Why Fort Thomas Residents Choose GMS Therapy
At GMS Therapy and Fitness, we take a different approach. You'll work directly with a Doctor of Physical Therapy for a full 60 minutes in our private studio—no rushing, no distractions, just personalized care focused on your goals.

What Our Fort Thomas Patients Are Saying
I originally found Dr. Ben Fannin for dry needling to help release trigger points that were causing my tennis and golfer's elbow. What I didn't expect was how much deeper his approach would go. Ben looks at the whole body, not just the painful spot. After five months of pain and thinking I wouldn't be able to lift weights again, I'm now almost 100% after just two months of working with him. This experience has truly been life-changing.

"I've been working with my physical therapist for about four months, and the results have been incredible. When I first started, I was dealing with persistent shoulder and knee problems that were affecting both my daily life and my ability to play hockey at the level I wanted. Thanks to his expertise, guidance, and consistency, I now have no shoulder or knee pain and feel noticeably more stable and confident on and off the ice."

"Zac was a great therapist. He was friendly, listened, and provided easy to follow home instructions. He allowed me to be part of the process in what helped and didn't help each week, also with what would work in my busy schedule. Within one or two sessions, my pain was improving vastly. He gave me a home program with the option to return as needed."

"I had been battling what I did not realize was a re-herniated disc and Ben helped reduce my pain and strengthen my weakened core. Using varied strategies and listening to weekly feedback he worked with me to find relief. He's also flexible on frequency of treatment and doesn't push you to get more than is needed. I highly recommend his services!"
