I can’t recommend Professional Physical Therapy in Melville enough. After tearing my ACL and going through reconstruction surgery, I spent an entire year rehabbing here, and the care I received was outstanding.Glenn and John were my physical therapists, and they played a huge role in getting me... back on my feet. They created a program that constantly challenged me while making sure I was progressing safely. They took the time to explain every exercise, answer my questions, and always adjusted my treatment based on how I was feeling that day.The entire staff was friendly, professional, and made every visit a positive experience. ACL recovery is a long process, but John and Glenn kept me motivated from day one through my return to running and higher-level activities.If you’re recovering from an ACL injury or any orthopedic surgery, I highly recommend Professional Physical Therapy in Melville.

Professional Physical Therapy in Melville is many steps above the rest. I came in after having surgery on a torn Scapula Lunate in my left wrist. When I finished my physical therapy regimen my wrist felt and still feels brand new!My therapist, Heather B. is by far the best for hand, wrist and arm... PT in the industry. She is assertive and yet gentle at the same time. I never had any pain during her massages and manipulation. She is a world renowned expert and teacher of medical physical therapy practices. Her workouts and regimen were always on point. Her exercise's are hard enough to know you are getting a great therapeutic workout, but never to the point of pain. Additionally, Heather is and expert at creating custom braces and orthotic devices.Professional PT Melville is an excellently managed and maintained facility with the most highly trained and expert staff.

My therapist, John, is very patient and understanding. He always asks how I’m feeling. Wants to know if there’s any pain.He’s moving slowly, but he’s doing so because he doesn’t want to mess up what was fixed with my rotator cuff surgery.
Fahim R.
I came in with hip and glute pain that was messing with how I moved and slept, and John really helped get things moving in the right direction. Sessions were always efficient and he gave me solid take-home stuff that make sense and seem to be working. The staff, office, and parking were great as... well.Thanks againread more
