I was treated by Katie for my right hand pinky finger. I had been diagnosed with a “trigger finger”. She was exceptionally knowledgeable and extremely friendly. She put me at ease immediately and explained what she was going to do with each different treatment. I was very pleased with her experience as a hand therapist. I happily recommend her to anyone I know that requires a physical therapist for the hand. Also the front desk staff was always cheerful and very cooperative as well.

My ankles have always been an issue and Jack was always there to help. Jack always knows what he’s doing and helps me every time. He makes me stronger and encourages me to be the best I can be. Jack is an amazing guy and has a great personality while doing the job he loves the most. I would 100 percent recommend Pro PT to anyone that needs help and is looking for someone reliable and that would be Jack.

I would highly recommend anyone needing PT services to check out Professional PT. Great group of people at the Andover, Ma location. Thanks Rachel for all your help!

Dominique has achieved what no other therapist or even doctor has been able to do: figure out where my pain was actually coming from. And then how to treat/alleviate it. Thanks totally to her my pain is dramatically reduced and I am very appreciative.

I had knee surgery where I got calcium deposits, plucked out, and my knee was scraped. My knee cap was reset and am having great results here with the team. Last year I broke my shoulder and came here in Coram and had an amazing experience and a great recovery. Rich, Jenny Kevin, Alexandra, and Meredith (last year) have all been amazing and work so well with me, I enjoy coming to get my PT here. Thanks

I am being treated for a recent knee replacement and I couldn’t be happier with the results because of the talented physical therapists at this location. They are caring, kind, compassionate and very talented. I look forward to seeing them at my appointments because they are not only great therapists but they make me feel like family!

I’m very pleased with results!  Everyone here are kind and thoughtful. I would recommend to family and friends.

I love Professional PT and have been to multiple locations in Manhattan. This time was for flare up of a chronic hip injury. Erika had treated me before and remembered my whole story. She is thorough and really pushed me to get better for my upcoming competition. I feel ready thanks to Erika and the team at Professional PT. I highly recommend!

Treated for knee pain to determine if a knee replacement would be necessary. Nick & all the support staff were incredibly helpful in explaining and acting on the program set for me.. I’ve come away with a better understanding of my knee and how to work with it.

Professional PT got me from a foot injury to the NYC marathon. They worked with me on correcting my form and strengthening my gait. Highly recommend. I finished my marathon strong and pain free!

My name is Jack Egan and I’ve been attending Professional PT because my ACL, which I tore at football. So far, I have been very pleased and happy with the results I’ve seen during this process. My favorite part of this therapy is the feeling I get when I my leg starts working like nothing has ever happened to it. I would 100% recommend Pro PT to anyone in need of quality physical therapy. (Photo is me leg pressing with BFR machine that makes your body work with less blood flow.)

I have never had a truly professional therapy experience as with this group. Haley Rudnicki is my therapist and she’s a 5! She has gotten me to a point of almost having full use of my right arm from having 4 Anchors put in for rotor cuff surgery. We have had only 5 or 6 appointments so far. She’s a miracle worker. I want no other therapist but her! Don’t get me wrong all the people who are there are all professional and have compassion and empathy for their patients. I give it a 5 all around!

From osteoarthritis, hip replacement and now neuropathy, Sally took me from a 10+ on my pain scale to a comfortable 2-3. I am and will always be grateful to her and her staff’s kindness and understanding to myself and wonderful to watch their other patients improvements as well. Our relationship means so much that it was easy to remember the exercise programs and rewarding when we made progress together!! I would strongly recommend Professional Physical Therapy to everyone!

I was having an issue with my TMJ lockjaw that has bothered me for over 30 years. Mike not only help me with my issue, he also gave me pointers & exercises that I can do to prevent a reoccurrence. I would highly recommend Professional Physical Therapy for anyone that needs it. And for some reason when I signed up for an appointment online it didn’t go through to them.  However, Mike still found away to see me without me having to wait.

Physical therapy really helped and my therapist was very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend and would return!

Great people, quality care–if you have a choice, this is the place to go!

I LOVE THIS GROUP. THE ENTIRE STAFF IS FABULOUS, PROFESSIONAL, AND VERY FRIENDLY… I HAVE BEEN TO OTHER FACILITIES AND PROFESSIONAL PT IS THE ONLY PLACE I WILL GO FROM NOW ON!

Results exceeded expectations.  Highly recommend!

Six years ago my left knee was seriously injured. Two successful operations and eleven months of PT had restored full range of motion, but I still experienced soreness and pain. I saw distinguished BIDMC sports orthopedic surgeon Dr. Arun Ramappa and he found the quadriceps muscle in my knee to be atrophied. He ordered a course of expert physical therapy employing a newly-proven technique called BFRT. At my request, he mentioned Stephen Vitale of Professional PT, Boston Financial District Office as having the requisite credentials to help. And, help me he did.

15 weeks of PT, twice a week, using BFRT technology, gave me a giant leap forward in my quest. I am now following his instructions at home and a local gym with the help of an artful and superb personal trainer. As Steve set expectations early, 6 years of atrophy are not overcome in several months. I would highly recommend Steve Vitale, who also teaches his trade at Northeastern University, as an amazing professional equipped to guide his team in doing PT the “right way.’ A nice vibe in their office makes it fun. Thanks, too, to assistants Christina, Aaron and Anoll.

I started out with Blake but worked with Michelle, Hector and Glen. All were phenomenal. They always took the time to help and understand each individual. I spent 6 months working to get better so I could continue to serve as a Firefighter. I was able to see progress after each session. I enjoyed the friendliness of the staff and enjoyed my time going there 3x a week. I will miss the deep conversations with many. Definitely would recommend people and if ever return myself! Mrs Hope at the front desk held it all together – she was amazing to deal with for scheduling.

This is my 3rd stint with PPT, for different issues. The atmosphere is friendly and laid back but thorough. They are also realistic. They operate safely through COVID restrictions.

A) treated for knee replacement B) supportive, friendly, dedicated C) yes D) I recommend them! They all make you feel welcome and comfortable. Jane is supportive and makes you feel welcome, she is the best. Christina, Nate, Alphonso and Maddie were great and Joe Guarini is the best! He excels in all he did for me. I highly recommend them. Good job!

The whole team is awesome! Very friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and professional! I’ve been coming in for my right knee and I can feel strength and mobility coming back 100% after a few weeks! I cannot speak highly enough of this practice. All the staff are very knowledgeable and provide genuine care for their patients. I am glad I found this place!

About 6 weeks ago, I elected to have physical therapy for my right knee at Professional Physical Therapy at West 71st Street because I had had a good experience there in the past. I couldn’t be more pleased with how it is going. Ohi is a superb physical therapist, a true professional with an engaging personality. In fact, everyone I’ve dealt with here has been super helpful and encouraging. I’ve made a lot of progress and am walking much better, for which I’m very grateful. Who knew you could actually look forward to going to physical therapy?

I started my rehab last week. I had a total knee replacement done by Dr. Bansal on March 7. I started going to rehab on Williams Bridge Road but I was not happy with it. I began doing this rehab with Jack Chang and I am very happy that I made the decision to go to 1250 Watersports. Not only is he professional but he’s very patient and he knows his patients. I love that he knows what he’s doing. He does give me a good workout even though sometimes I leave in a lot of pain but I guess that’s part of getting better. I would definitely recommend anyone to go to this rehab facility because every day I see progress and that’s important to me.  I thank God that an angel like Jack Chan fell in my path.

I was treated for an IT band problem. I have been going for PT 2X weekly for about 2 months. I have been stretched, worked on, etc and have gained strength and am no longer in pain. I would definitely recommend Pro PT!

OMG! I don’t even know where to begin! So I have received therapy in two other types of places and this one by far has been the best. I am being treated for right hip pain. Katrina is not just a physical therapist, she and her team are like educators in their field, living healthy lifestyles and modeling them. This right here is a model people need to follow. A team that cares about their clients, their co-workers and themselves. They put me to work and always make sure I am well before and after my sessions. I have access to Kat away from the clinic by way of text message. I would highly recommend this location and this lovely team of professional therapists and educators! Thank you for helping me along in my road to learning how to overcome and control my pain issues.

I had a knee replacement and chose Professional PT because it is five minutes from home. It was the best healing experience I ever had! Joe is amazing, dedicated, and encouraging and made me want to do better with every treatment. Jane was always encouraging when I walked in the door. Every person there was encouraging and so friendly. I will never regret going to them and highly recommend them. They are the very best!

I am currently treating with Pro PT. I am very pleased with all of the therapist’s. Everyone including the front desk, and therapist’s are friendly, and knowledgeable. Gregory is incredibly knowledgeable, shows compassion. A very special thanks to : Gregory, Nicole, Ammar!

I was treated for a right bicep tendon tear and pleased with Kara‘s professionalism and compassion she took when treating my injury. At one point she went back to her old note’s from college to print me out a copy of what was actually going on so I can understand how the tendons attached and detached better. In my honest opinion, I think she went over and above, and I would recommend her or anyone at professional physical therapy to anyone that I know that would require physical therapy.

I needed physical therapy after brain surgery to build up strength, especially leg, lower torso and to improve balance. Today I can push 150 lbs with my legs, I can run up and down stairs and my balance is greatly improved. And it was a pleasure to come to the sessions because of the friendly and positive atmosphere at center. Zach and the others working with him, are so nice, gave me encouragement and we had lots of laughs too. The only downside is that my treatments at PT have come to an end. I thank them all for their great work and I strongly recommend this PT center.

Very pleased! Everything that Danielle had me do was great. Absolutely I would recommend Pro PT!

I am a post op hip replacement patient who also has severe joint issues in the opposite hip. Because I had the hip done in Korea as well as the bone resurfacing of the other hip also in Korea, I didn’t really get adequate physical therapy. And of course the pandemic threw a huge monkey wrench into my PT plan of care. So when I arrived at the Tribeca location of Professional PT, I had bilateral hip pain, limited ROM in my ankles and knees and I was really debilitated when performing ADLs. Andrew listen to my concerns and goals, then proposed a plan of care to get me to that goal. Within 6 visits my pain was dramatically reduced, I was able to do more around the house and had more confidence in walking and climbing stairs. Within 10 visits I had more energy less pain and had reached my interim goal of doing squats and lunges. Andrew teaches each exercise very clearly, gives the rationale for each and explains how it will get me closer to my goal. I’ve had PT in 3 different countries now and I can definitely say that the knowledge, professionalism and empathy displayed by Andrew and his team are unparalleled. He has improved my quality of life dramatically and I’m confident that he will definitely help me reach my activity goals!

I was treated by Rebecca Konstandt. I was very happy with my results because I was able to continue my training for my first 50k without any injuries. She’s extremely knowledgeable and deeply in tune with which muscles to focus on for recovery. I would highly recommend Rebecca!

I had the privilege of having Mandar work with me when I was diagnosed with a bulging disc and cervical arthrosis and stenosis. He was completely professional, thorough and highly organized in his method. Listened attentively to my concerns and in general was one of the reasons I was able to make excellent progress in my time at PPT. I couldn’t recommend him more strongly. I observed him working with others with the same respect and professionalism. Clearly he excels at his chosen profession and anyone working with him is lucky to have him.

This is the only place I will go for any Physical Therapy needs. Rebecca has been my therapist here since I started and she is amazing. I have had 4 different injuries and she has helped me rehab every time. The whole staff is friendly, courteous, and helpful.

I was treated for a broken ankle as well as a sprained ankle, I am very pleased with the results. I would definitely recommend this service and my favorite part would probably be the staff.

Keith and the entire team at the Beverly studio were so amazing. Each week it became clearer that the journey was timed precisely. They took time to explain what the exercise are intended for in my recovery. I sincerely believe I would not be where I am today without these amazing people.

The Fitchburg facility is very convenient for the residents from Fitchburg. All of your staff in Fitchburg, from the front office to the therapists, are great. My wife and I have used your services for many years. We request Jennifer Reid Curtis all the time because of her professionalism and result driven therapy. She gives us undivided attention and we know its about truly caring for her patients. I receive my care through the VA. I had to special request to get your site approved. It was very much worth it. Once again I requested Jen and am getting great results!

My journey was an easy one to pursue because I watched my wife’s journey with Sam and was amazed by her recovery. My knee is so much stronger now having had treatment for the past 4 months, because PT has made me more consistent and accountable during my recovery.

I am a Veteran Royal Engineer (British Army), former Athlete and Rugby Player (Brooklyn Rugby Club). I moved here 8-9 years ago after a successful 22 year career to pursue my passion working with young people through sport and wellness. I am currently working with Wellness in the Schools, a National non profit who’s mission is to teach kids healthier habits to live and learn better. Now that I’ve reached the fifth floor, my goal is to remain as healthy as possible so that I can be a positive role model for my family and the school communities I serve.

Sheena is truly an extraordinary Occupational Therapist. She is kind and compassionate, while motivating you to work through your pain. She is able to address any questions or concerns you may have about your recovery and treatment. Rest assured, if you are lucky enough to have Sheena as your therapist, you are in good hands. No pun intended.

After taking a terrible fall off an electric scooter, I shattered my wrist! No one wants to break a bone or have surgery, especially if it requires plates and screws to fix your shattered bones.

I had to find a hand-wrist occupational therapist in the height of the Covid pandemic. In walks Sheena, my saving grace. She encouraged and pushed me to work my hardest. Boy did I hate her at first…LOL, but when I started to see the progress I was making, I was thrilled. Sheena was incredible. She reassured me that I was doing great, pushed me when I needed to be pushed, and knew exactly what she was doing!

I am very fortunate to have found her, and know that I’ll be back in her capable hands after my plate and screws are removed. Thank you Sheena for making a difficult situation and horrible accident not so bad. You are truly amazing! Thank you!

I’ve been going to Professional PT since before they were Professional.  As a dancer, and performer, you want to go somewhere where you’re cared about, the staff is invested in your growth, and make you feel special.  Professional has that and more.  I will follow Kristin wherever she goes.  And I have.

I have one leg shorter than the other due to a partial hip replacement. I fell around 8 weeks ago and broke my wrist and all healed in 6 weeks. I have also had a bout of spinal stenosis. I have had physical therapy in the pool which has helped me so much with balance. My progress is going well.

The PT Sally has been so helpful, teaching me the exercises in the pool. Toby, the PTA, has been great teaching me exercises in the treatment room as I experienced Sciatica during this time. This is better now.

I can’t forget our secretary, Dory, who has been very helpful scheduling.

I am very happy with the Professional Physical Therapy.

I am writing to commend the staff at Professional PT that serve the Bellmore-Merrick school community. Specifically, Angelo and Elissa for their leadership, as well as, our five AT’s John, Bridget, Taylor, Eliana and Alexa. My apologies for not having written to you sooner.

Under normal circumstances, our athletes have grown accustomed to relying on top quality care from our AT staff for all of their injuries and ailments. However, it should be noted that their work does not typically stop at “treatment”. I can tell you that our expectation in Bellmore-Merrick is that our AT’s are an extension of our staff. Not only do they provide high quality care to our school community by overseeing the general care of student-athletes, but they also ALWAYS go above and beyond in coordinating that care with parents, teachers, coaches, RN’s and other administrative staff. In addition, and perhaps most importantly, our AT’s are the driving force behind directing preventative care for a wide range of injuries for our student-athletes. I can tell you this does NOT go unnoticed.

More recently, as we deal with educating almost 5200 students in our district, our AT’s were able to assist with temperature taking and other tasks in their buildings during early morning hours to enable us to process students attending classes (we are one of the very few districts providing full in-person instruction) in a timely matter. As a result, the start of our school days were able to begin as scheduled and uninterrupted. Further, this enabled us to provide a sense of health and safety for our faculty, students and staff that eased a tremendous amount of anxiety for everyone involved in the school day, during the pandemic.

Make no mistake, this could not have occurred without the steady leadership of both Angelo Marsella and Elissa Linderman. To say working with them over the past six years has been a pleasure is an understatement. Even during the most stressful moments, they have always found a way to assist the Bellmore-Merrick community in the best way possible. Never have they said “NO”. Rather, they have always shown a willingness to work through the most difficult scenarios without hesitation. I could not ask for a better partnership. Because of their attention to detail and dedication to our school community, their impact has been immeasurable.

I just had my first major tournament since my knee injury and I just wanted to thank you for all that you did in order to get me back to dodgeball.

I competed in the World Dodgeball Championships in Mexico this past week and I’ve never played better. Luckily, there were no new injuries. In fact, I didn’t feel any pain or soreness in my knee! I played with more range of movement than I thought I had.

Thanks again to you and your team for helping rehabilitate my knee, but also giving me the confidence to play without worry again.

Olivia is a 15 year old freshman at Masconomet High School in Boxford, MA and has been a competitive figure skater for 10 years. In the past year she suffered some minor injuries and experienced intermittent knee, hip, and ankle pain. Upon recommendations from her own pediatrician and an orthopedic sports medicine specialist, she underwent physical therapy treatment with Keith Cooper at Professional Physical Therapy in Beverly. Following these sessions and a structured treatment program over a number of weeks, she is back skating and is pain free and performing all her jumps and moves on the ice. Keith and his team developed a personalized plan that was tailored to Olivia’s needs and helped her recover and get back to her usual self in a very short time. They also recommended a program for off-ice training that has been a tremendous benefit to Olivia as she continues to develop her skating skills. We can’t thank Keith and his team enough for all they did and highly recommend anyone who requires physical therapy treatments to visit Keith and the group at Professional.

I was dealing with chronic IT Band tightness and friction that caused intermittent knee pain for over a year. The pain was manageable for most of 2018 until I completed my 19-mile training run, five weeks prior to the NYC marathon. From that point on, the inflammation and associated pain sidelined me from continuing to run; I had only completed three taper runs in total in the last five weeks leading up to race day. I tried many various interventions in the past, but with a combined approach of dry needling therapy, rehab exercises, and other manual therapy techniques, Noah got me back on my feet and helped me cross the finish line at the 2018 NYC marathon with a 4:06 finish. I was just shy of my time goal, but happy to even finish considering the knee injury. I was able to run the entire race without having to stop at any medical tents along the way too. Thanks Noah and Professional PT!!

I have both a leader and an issue that has inspired me deeply as to why I want to get involved in the medical field. Two years ago, I was playing football for New Rochelle. It was the last play of the game and I was sent out for a pass play.  I ran to the end zone and jumped for the ball while one of the cornerbacks attempted to swipe the ball from me.  He ended up landing on top of me while I landed on my shoulder on the ground.  From there I got an MRI for the injury and the orthopedist didn’t find anything wrong when reading the disc.  I then transferred from New Rochelle High School to Mamaroneck High School where I continued my wrestling career.  I would experience very sharp pains occasionally while wrestling. I’m tough so I didn’t think much of it and thought it would just go away.  Till early January when I was wrestling at a tournament , I couldn’t continue wrestling in a match because of how much pain I was in.  My coaches, family, and I knew there was something very wrong.

I got another MRI and my orthopedist found out that I had torn my labrum.  I had gotten surgery a couple weeks later and was sent to Professional Physical Therapy in Equinox in Mamaroneck.  My Physical Therapist’s name is Melanie.  She was very sweet and kind when she would tell me what to do and she was very gentle when she would massage my shoulder.  Watching her work and help others while I was doing my therapy was amazing.  Watching the elderly become so content because of the amazing work she would do with them, helping them get their strength back to where they lacked. I love to help. I’m very respectful, kind, patient and genuine. I love to make others happy and joyful and watching her make others feel that made me want to become a physical therapist.  Two years later after the surgery and physical therapy I’ve become one of the most successful wrestlers in Mamaroneck wrestling history.  I’m the third person ever to be a section champion for Mamaroneck.  I accomplished that a couple weeks ago and last year I was the first All-Section sophomore. I wouldn’t be able to have done these accomplishments if it weren’t for Dr. Delamora, my orthopedist or my physical therapist, Melanie.  They are one of the inspirations as to why I want to pursue a career in medicine.

When I first found out I tore my ACL, my mind was racing.  How could this happen?  What will surgery be like?  How will the rehab be?  And the most concerning thing of all was of course the expected long rehab process.  I spoke to some of my buddies who had ACL surgery and went through the rehab before, and they told me horror stories of the physical therapist bending their knee right after surgery to the point where they were yelling in pain.  I was not looking forward to anything to do with the entire process.

3 days after surgery, I had my first rehab appointment with Nick Licameli and Professional Physical Therapy in Nutley.  I was dreading it, and was thinking to myself that I just had surgery 3 days ago, and this is going to be painful.  However, when I met Nick, he put my mind at ease by taking the time to explain the injury and what the rehab process would be like.  After the first day, I felt like the goal and path to recovery was clear and I felt comfortable that Nick and the rest of the Professional Physical Therapy staff would be guiding me along the way.  As I got into my physical therapy for the first few weeks, I quickly learned that the process was going to be challenging, but I also learned that it was not going to be like the horror stories that my buddies told me about.  Nick constantly worked with me with great patience to show me all of the exercises I would be doing each day, but he never pressured me into any pain or any bad experience at all (unlike what I’ve heard from my friends about other PT practices).  Actually, I started to even enjoy and look forward to going to my physical therapy sessions 3 days per week.  Everyone was so friendly and welcoming at Professional Physical Therapy at Nutley, always joking around and having great relationships with all of their patients really gave it a feel of more of like a “hang-out” then a therapy building.  And at the same time, I was making great progress.  Only 6 weeks from my surgery, my doctor told me that I was doing so well that I could start walking without the brace, which was much earlier than expected.  That was all thanks to the great work from Nick and the staff at Professional Physical Therapy.

Then at about two months out from my surgery, the COVID pandemic hit New Jersey, and I was very concerned about what would happen to my therapy sessions and all of the progress that I made on my knee.  However, Nick was very quick to reach out and offer telehealth services available by Professional Physical Therapy.  These services have been a great experience and have not slowed down my progress at all.  Nick came up with a number of great ideas over the telehealth sessions for my exercises at home.  Through video conferencing, Nick showed me how I could use water jugs or a case of Gatorade as weight for my exercises.  Nick also helped me be very resourceful by using simple things like my chairs to hold on to for lunges, stairs for my step ups and calf raises, and even using a pillow for my step downs.  The progress on my knee over the last two months of using telehealth three times per week has been tremendous.  I was worried that my progress would slow down not being able to going into the therapy building, but each week I have felt like I’ve been getting stronger.  Now I’m even up to the point where I can run on my own for two miles.

To summarize, I can’t say enough good things about Nick and Professional Physical Therapy.  Throughout the process of my first 4 months of rehab, Nick has been very patient in answering all of my questions and concerns.  He has always been flexible and available at any time, whether in the office, through telehealth, or even over text message, to guide me along the way.  He could be working on over 5 patients at once, but he always made me feel like I was the only one.  Not only that, but his knowledge and expertise has helped me show continued growth and progress every step of the way with my knee injury.  From experience, the rehab process from a torn ACL is not easy and work has to be put in to make it successful, but I’m so glad I chose to go to Nick and Professional Physical Therapy.  I know that I could never have done it without Nick, and I would recommend him to anyone who is in need of physical therapy in the future!

Kyle is an exceptional therapist. I have been in and out of physical therapy for years for a variety of issues and can honestly say that Kyle is one of my favorite therapists. Kyle is very knowledgeable and is always willing to spend the time to explain concepts or exercises in a way that is easily understandable. Additionally, Kyle is very patient and has a comforting bedside manner.  Kyle tirelessly works at helping his patients and really goes above and beyond to ensure his patients are on the road to success. I am truly grateful to have had the chance to work with him and always left my sessions feeling better both physically and mentally. Professional Physical Therapy is lucky to have Kyle as a therapist.

I have just completed rehabilitation of my calves at your Summer Street, Stamford office. You are very fortunate to have Mike Nugent in charge there. Mike listened to my concerns and set about to resolve whatever issues I had. Mike clearly paid attention to my progress, and kept his team – Volsey, Gus and the other Mike – abreast of how I was doing. I have been to other places, and am impressed with the atmosphere Mike has created – positive but not clubby – all the employees clearly like each other, but do not succumb to unproductive distracting chit chat which I assume is a problem in your business. That focus on the therapeutic comes from the top down – Mike Nugent.

Though my treatment is over, if I ever need PT, Mike will be my first thought, and I will be happy to recommend him to others.

You need to keep good men like Mike. He cares about the work, and he cares about the people.

I would like to thank Professional Physical Therapy for the professional and courteous service you gave me over the last 3 months. Special thanks to Mansi for her dedication, encouragement, supervision, and healing hands, also to her staff (especially Sabrina). My knee is feeling great now, and I’ve incorporated many of the things learned from our physical therapy sessions to my daily life.

You have an incredible team of individuals working at the Somersworth Professional Physical Therapy facility!  Each person played a part in making my experience positive.  

After experiencing jaw pain, my dentist recommended me for PT with Mike but I waited until my bite changed and pain increased. I have had rheumatoid arthritis for over 25 years with various trips to physical therapy and I was not thrilled at the thought of going to PT for my jaw. However, I am so glad that I did!

My initial visit with Mike consisted of a lot of conversation and questions. He also evaluated my physical strengths and weaknesses to develop an appropriate plan moving forward.  As Mike worked on my jaw, I was also given exercises to improve neck strength.  Little did I know that the jaw and neck were so closely related. Prior to seeing Mike, I was regularly wearing a neck brace for support.  Since seeing Mike, I haven’t had to wear my brace.  Yes, I still experience mild pain and discomfort, but with RA any joint on any given day can be painful.  

Mike showed me how to position my jaw so that I don’t clench my teeth.  This has been valuable in relieving jaw pain. He also gave me exercises to do at home but when I was unable to hold the band that he provided due to hand pain, he showed me Bodylastics, a product with handles, that could be purchased online.  The fact that he listened to my struggles and problem solved a solution was much appreciated.  In fact, when needed, Mike would adjust or explain how to do exercises if they were effecting other joints. 

After completing the jaw therapy and getting such good results,  I called my rheumatologist to see if I could get a referral for lower back pain.  Once again, the therapy was helpful.  After doing exercises in the gym, Mike emailed me an exercise program , discussed proper posture techniques and like before, listened to me and always answered questions. I asked a lot of questions as to why he was doing certain things or positioning me in certain ways.  He had  a knack of explaining exactly what and why he was doing and it made sense. I continue the home therapy program he provided and feel that my back and core have become stronger. I still experience some pain but not to the degree I had been.  I’m sure it’s the effects of RA.  I wish I had gone to Professional Physical Therapy years ago. 

At the beginning, my insurance company was giving me different messages as to whether your Professional Physical Therapy facility was part of my plan.  Finally, I just popped in to see if the Somersworth facility knew.  Sarah pleasantly greeted me, listened and said that she would look into it.  Within two hours, I had a voicemail from Sarah stating that I would be covered.  She did not have to take the time to do that, but she did.  

I also spent a lot of time with Sarah as she prepared the equipment, weights, and settings when completing my exercises in the gym.  Not only was she doing that for me but on many occasions, there were multiple people working in the gym area.  Sarah would also provide clarification of exercises, demonstrate the proper technique and give support on those “killer” exercises. When she wasn’t working with patients, she was cleaning stations or doing laundry.  I don’t think I ever saw her sitting down! 

I had the pleasure of having a physical therapy session with Terry when Mike was out one day.  Obviously, there is a true team connection between Mike and Terry.  Terry provided a session that mirrored what I had been doing with Mike. It was as if I had been working with her from the beginning. It was easy to talk with her and Terry always made a point of saying hi to every patient that entered the facility, whether you were her patient or not.  

Brianna was always welcoming and helpful.  I would be doing an exercise and tell her that I needed to schedule another appointment.  She would ask my time and day preference and within minutes she would have an appointment scheduled.  On a day when Sarah was out, Brianna helped in the gym with ease. She always brightened up my visits with her laughter. 

Again, your Somersworth Professional Physical Therapy Team is caring, hardworking, and compassionate about their patients.  They go above and beyond to welcome, assist and provide quality care. Each and everyone of them should be commended for their contributions in making your Somersworth facility top notch! I won’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone that needs PT! 

My name is Chris and this note is meant to tell the “home office” just how great the team in your Amesbury office is.  Unfortunately I have had many many orthopedic surgeries that have brought me to a number of PT services, including yours some time back.  My point being that I am well qualified to evaluate PT services.

From the reception/scheduling desk to the professionals who treated me they all were just fabulous.  The atmosphere in the facility was just a comfortable one where you got a sense that everyone working on a particular day were part of a team. Not just a collection of employees.

I would be remiss not singling out Zach who worked with me.  I had my right hip replaced for the 5th time and the second time since last December in a 5 hour operation.  When I started I was barely able to walk from my car to my appointment.  Today I am working out everyday, walking a golf course (up until last week) and have regained my confidence in my body.

Zach knows his stuff but more importantly he has a great sense of people.  His training told him what exercises to utilize but it was his talent/skill in connecting with me that made this all work.

That is a good team in Amesbury.

I came to Professional Physical Therapy, a bit skeptical and a little hesitant. Having endured years of seeing my child in pain and having underwent the physical therapy route without success, it was a hard to commit again. My experience started with a phone fishing expedition, culminating with a thorough conversation that ended my search. I had made the decision to entrust my daughter to the expertise of Alex and his team.

My daughter’s first session came and I had bombarded Jennifer with questions, while making my presence known to Alex; I involved both therapists in my scrutiny. With patience I was addressed and I was reassured with a plan. Although anxious, I walked away knowing that my daughter would be in good hands.

In a couple visits, Jennifer and Alex proved to be miracle workers. After two years of constant leg numbness, PT made a difference! Within a month, my daughter is almost at 100%. I finally saw PT to be a cure. The therapists at PPT listened and analyzed my daughter’s story, they deciphered a plan to make recovery a reality.

I cannot thank Jennifer and Alex enough for their dedication and expertise. The staff at Professional Physical Therapy has changed our lives.

I have both a leader and an issue that has inspired me deeply as to why I want to get involved in the medical field. Two years ago, I was playing football for New Rochelle. It was the last play of the game and I was sent out for a pass play.  I ran to the end zone and jumped for the ball while one of the cornerbacks attempted to swipe the ball from me.  He ended up landing on top of me while I landed on my shoulder on the ground.  From there I got an MRI for the injury and the orthopedist didn’t find anything wrong when reading the disc.  I then transferred from New Rochelle High School to Mamaroneck High School where I continued my wrestling career.  I would experience very sharp pains occasionally while wrestling. I’m tough so I didn’t think much of it and thought it would just go away.  Till early January when I was wrestling at a tournament , I couldn’t continue wrestling in a match because of how much pain I was in.  My coaches, family, and I knew there was something very wrong.  I got another MRI and my orthopedist found out that I had torn my labrum.  I had gotten surgery a couple weeks later and was sent to Professional Physical Therapy in Equinox in Mamaroneck.  My Physical Therapist’s name is Melanie.  She was very sweet and kind when she would tell me what to do and she was very gentle when she would massage my shoulder.  Watching her work and help others while I was doing my therapy was amazing.  Watching the elderly become so content because of the amazing work she would do with them, helping them get their strength back to where they lacked. I love to help. I’m very respectful, kind, patient and genuine. I love to make others happy and joyful and watching her make others feel that made me want to become a physical therapist.  Two years later after the surgery and physical therapy I’ve become one of the most successful wrestlers in Mamaroneck wrestling history.  I’m the third person ever to be a section champion for Mamaroneck.  I accomplished that a couple weeks ago and last year I was the first All-Section sophomore. I wouldn’t be able to have done these accomplishments if it weren’t for Dr. Delamora, my orthopedist or my physical therapist, Melanie.  They are one of the inspirations as to why I want to pursue a career in medicine.

I have had the pleasure to work closely with LJ and Hedel after Shoulder surgery and Hip surgery.

They are so professional, kind, caring and compassionate. They are the dynamic duo :)

I enjoy going to PT. They always greet me with a smile and put me to work.  If I am in pain during the day I can stop in and grab ice any time.

I know people never have any problems writing emails when it is a complaint.I believe it is important to acknowledging people who go above and beyond at all times; that’s why I wanted to take some time and write this email.

LJ is amazing, he is patient and filled with knowledge. I am very fortunate that I have such strong support with my recovery.

I am happy to report that the race went great! I barely had any IT Band issues at all for the entire race, which was incredible. I owe a major debt of gratitude to you and the team for helping me get to where that was not a factor in the race.

I did face some other obstacles, as anybody would expect. For example, knowing that my friends and family were all waiting for me on First Avenue, I got a little excited going over the bridge and pushed a little too hard on the uphill part, as well as the uphill of First Ave. I ended up with some cramping in my quads and hammies. A few stops at the medical tent for a quick rub down and some biofreeze was able to remedy that for a few miles at a time. That made the last 6-8 miles tough, but they were going to be tough no matter what!

I didn’t run with my wife, but as luck would have it I spotted her around the mile 26 marker. We were able to cross the finish line hand in hand, and it was one of the most incredible and special moments of my life.

Again, can’t thank you guys enough for all the help over the last three months in getting me ready, not just with the IT band but with the overall strategy and the tips for training and for running the race. I look forward to thanking you guys in person next Tuesday!

I had a very extensive knee revision and replacement on my injured knee. My first knee replacement, I was up and in a few days. This surgery was a nightmare of recovery from August to October. Non-weight bearing, wheelchair and locked knee in a brace. October 1st, I got the ok for Physical Therapy. Professional Physical Therapy was recommended by my Doctor. I choose the East 84 Street location. I was taken there by wheelchair. I was greeted by the front desk, I felt relief. I had an evaluation with the clinical director, Audrey. A program was created for me, and I had three sessions per week. I also committed to the home program. This was all very intense for me, after being so idle. The therapists follow in Audrey’s steps. Empathy and positive encouragement were the greatest. Alyssa became one of the key therapists in my recovery. Whenever I visited, Audrey promised me she would get me out of the wheelchair. They helped me and by Thanksgiving Day, I was walking with a cane. I never gave up only because of their confidence in my recovery. I am also in PT for a torn rotator cuff. I know I am seeing a huge improvement. I wanted to and I do walk about two miles almost everyday. The TLC and empathy to all the patients is remarkable. Doctors are great and lay the foundation. The physical therapy is the main part of recovery. I am so very grateful to the team at the East 84 Street location. I must add that Audrey speaks to the staff in such a professional manner. The atmosphere is positive.  I wish anyone who chooses Professional Physical Therapy a speedy recovery!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

After fracturing my patella, I needed some local PT and I chose Professional (formerly ProEx). I couldn’t have had a better experience. Tina worked out a treatment plan for me, explaining everything – showing clear knowledge of the bones, muscles, tendons, etc. She and Roger and the others were wonderful to me, even the receptionists. They made me feel comfortable and very confident in their ability to help me, which they did, and quickly. They were all right on top of my injury and what it took to get me back up and running very quickly. I guess there’s no better testimonial than the shock of my surgeon when he saw me and saw how well I was doing. To everything he asked if I was able to do yet, I replied “yes” and really he was so pleasantly surprised he asked for some business cards so he could refer others to Professional (formerly ProEx). I will miss the friendly and professional staff… they made it fun.. they worked together.. there was camaraderie.. If I had to go to PT, I couldn’t have picked a better place. Thanks to all of you.

I can only say great things about my rehab at this location. My doctor told me to try PT for a few months and if that does not work then I was looking at surgery. I worked with the amazing Jonathan and his wonderful team for about 12 weeks and went from not being able to use my right arm and being in major pain to now being pain free and my right arm is now back to 100 percent. No surgery needed…even my Doctor was impressed! Jonathan and his team really work with you and explain everything to you, I was never rushed and always had someone watching and helping me do my exercises. Everyone is very patient, caring and highly educated in their field. If you are serious about getting the best PT this is the place to come.

Rachel, Terri, Ken, Justin are delightful, helpful, and very encouraging each time I visited at Professional Physical Therapy. The environment here is friendly. Lastly, Sasha is wonderful, knowledgeable, and outstanding. Praise be to God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. To the entire staff, thank you so very much!

It’s unreal to think that today was the last day of my first clinical rotation at Professional PT in my pursuit of attaining my Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT). What a life altering experience. To the amazing physical therapists and athletic trainers I worked with up in Mamaroneck – thank you all SO much for being such fantastic role models. I’m proud to have worked and learned alongside you. And to the many patients I was able to work with – thank you for being so sincere and hard working. Blessed is an understatement for being offered this amazing opportunity.

Joel and Ian at Tyngsboro Ma. gave me the tools to Succeed at work. I believe that continuing my PT while I was back at work made me so much stronger and they were able to give me exercise that help me thru the areas that I was weak. These guys gave me quality of work life thanks for everything.

I have been seeing Nicole for three different reasons in the last 2 years, I have nothing but praise for her ability and knowledge, she is conscientious and informative. She not only Treats but she cares. What else could you ask for in a physical therapist?

I had had my rotator cuff repaired last November and was ready to start PT a month later. My initial plan was to start the therapy at Equinox and then transition into the city where I work. However, after starting the therapy with Melanie, I didn’t want to go anywhere else. She is intelligent, knowledgeable, and nice. I was confident immediately that she was providing excellent care of my shoulder, and my surgeon has been extremely satisfied with my results. My entire experience these last 3 months has been nothing but positive – even when Melanie was away, the other therapists (Katie, Rebecca, JulieAnn) knew me and were able to step in and provide the same high level of care and professionalism in a friendly environment. I recommend this group without hesitation.

I decided to go to Professional Physical Therapy for convenience because it was across the street from my office and knew it would be easy to go during my lunch break. Little did I know, it was one of the best decisions I made. Sarah was my physical therapist and Peter was my athletic trainer. I went in with a rotator cuff tear and bursitis in my right shoulder, which caused severe pain from certain movements, and especially after working out, and after 8 weeks of working with Sarah and Peter, I am happy to say I do not have any pain. Sarah did a great job working on my shoulder and was very gentle and openly communicated everything she was doing. Pete gave me great exercises and stretches to help me get the strength back in my shoulder to get back to fully functioning in the gym. I would recommend them to anyone, everyone was always so friendly and willing to help with anything. It was a great environment and I would definitely go back for another injury, but hopefully I don’t have to. :)

I could not see myself where I am today when I 1st entered Professional PT. The Hartsdale team is strong and supportive everyone from the front desk to the therapist and aides. Mansi is awesome knows when to push you and when you need nurturing to get thru your session. With her dedication and knowledge I was able to challenge myself and push thru the harder days. Returning to the field seemed like a long shot, but though it may take time I know there are more snaps in my future…. Thanks PPT!

I came to PT 3 weeks post op. My therapists Ellen and Ildiko have helped me to regain my my strength and maintain a positive attitude even when I felt down with a wonderful therapy plan that continues to be updated based upon my progress. This is PT at its best! Words of encouragement, smiles and positive affirmations helped my progress even faster than I had hoped for. Everyone there is wonderful, Margaret, Timothy, Charles always lending a helping hand as well as the wonderful gals who great you upon entering with a big smile. Totally recommend this place. They have helped me so on my road to recovery!

I had 3 ankle surgeries. I was in PT for 2 Years before discovering Professional Physical Therapy @ 1250 Waters Pl. 12th Floor (Bronx Hutchinson Metro Center).

I will always remember the first day, July 12, 2017. Vivek calls me to come in and begin his evaluation on me. As I became more and more familiar with the other staff – Louis, Nick, Africa –  they were always professional, encouraging, helpful in whatever manner they could be. These people are truly PHENOMENAL. I highly recommend them. They’re also striving with you to see the results. It is Oct 2017…the progress that I have made is simply phenomenal. The staff honestly cares about their clients and it shows in their dedication and compassion and commitment. Vivek…you’re absolutely the BEST. Louis…thank you for all the times I said I couldn’t and you insisted that I could. ANETA…you’re an angel and you know your stuff. Love you guys. God Bless all of the Staff @ 1250 Waters Pl. 12th floor staff.. You’re a phenomenal team.

The staff at the Whitestone facility always make me feel like I stepped into an episode of Cheers……where everybody knows your name. And always smiling. An absolute pleasure every visit (L. knee meniscus tears and L. knee replacement which means ALOT of visits).

The help I received from my PT Samantha and all the others that chipped in and aided in my recovery….I am so very thankful….beyond words. They pushed me when I needed to be pushed, and reined me in when needed also. All questions and fears answered promptly and professionally. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Samantha and all the staff at Professional Whitestone…..I’ll be back for sure ?

I’ve been to physical therapy companies over the years, but this is the best! My physical therapist, Mansi, shows her skill, caring and professionalism. I have great confidence in her ability.

She took a good amount of time listening to my situation and when there were questions, spoke directly to the prescribing physician. SHE IS A TRUE HEALER!  All who work at Hartsdale, therapists, assistants, and appointment staff, are top notch and very encouraging. They give their patients hope. They want nothing more than to make their patients feel good again. I would definitely recommend your company as the one to go to for excellence in treatment and care.

I would like to thank Han and his associates, C and Nick, for the care and attention that I was given during my recent PT. Their focus and attention to the exercises was excellent and it was a much different experience than I have had at other practices. The facility is first class and all the staff are friendly and accommodating.

The entire staff in East Hanover, NJ were very pleasant and professional. Lisa greeted me (by name) at each visit. Dan, my physical therapist, was excellent using different techniques to help my knees. Both he and his assistants educated me on the use of the equipment, and made me feel comfortable. Thank you all!

The entire staff at Professional Physical Therapy worked both attentively and conscientiously to facilitate significant recovery for my surgically repaired shoulder.

I felt very comfortable with the pace and approach of the staff, and especially appreciated the 1-1 attention they provided. Throughout the weekly sessions, I gained a greater appreciation for the repetitive routines provided as well as the remarkable patience and encouragement my team consistently provided. A special word of thanks to two individuals in particular, Mansi & Ashley. Collectively, they worked with me from initial consultation through full range of movement. Moreover, they were incredibly knowledgeable, easy-going and systematic in their approach. I would highly recommend utilizing Professional Physical Therapy for any recovery efforts.

Suet Lim is my therapist and she is caring, competent, and continues to help me get better. I feel lucky to have her! I know it will take more therapy to reach my goal of using my fingers, but with her help I will get there.

My daughter was treated by Mansi at the Hartsdale location. She broke her left elbow and after the cast came off she needed PT for several weeks. Mansi was absolutely wonderful, extremely patient and very quick to answer any questions. My daughter loved going to PT. It was a great experience!

I had a total knee replacement on July 13th, 2017 and thanks to Evan my therapist I am now discharged from therapy as I am feeling great.

I am now pain free, taking long walks, climbing stairs and doing activities that I have not been able to do in years. Evan and the whole staff at Hazlet are the most kind and caring people. The minute you walk in the door they treat you like family, especially Jane. With Evan’s guidance and therapy I was so happy with the outcome. He truly cares about his clients. I will definitely recommend the Hazlet location and I do tell everyone how great they are. Thank you to everyone at Professional Physical Therapy.

The Professional Physical Therapy facility is one of the best facilities that I have been to.  The staff is always friendly and up to date on appointments.  I enjoy the welcoming atmosphere; from the moment I walk in,  I’m greeted by a pleasant receptionist.  I love how patient and warm the staff is.

Due to the great work and care here, I strongly believe that it is the very reason that I was able to regain use of both of my arms.

I recently completed a 6 month rehabilitation for a shattered right elbow and a badly broken left elbow.  I was told that I probably shouldn’t expect to regain 100% range and flexibility.

When I first arrived at Professional Physical Therapy early March 2017, I had no use of both of my arms.  It was a frightening and emotional time for me.  The pain was incomprehensible.  I cried most days in the beginning.  Ohi was comforting and supportive yet firm.  He pushed me a little bit more every week or so to challenge myself, to go to the next level and push through the discomfort.  Ohi is a kind, caring and gifted professional.

The group of patients at Professional became like a surrogate family, everyone cheering each other on to the road of recovery.

I had a superb surgeon and I had the determination to get as close to 100% flexibility and range back in both of my arms/elbows.  I wholeheartedly believe that I would have never reached the level of recovery that I have were it not for Ohi.  He provided the light at the end of the tunnel.  I still have to work on regaining some strength especially with my right elbow.  Ohi gave me 3 at home stretches to do for the next 6 months or so.

Ohi is a superstar, just a wonderful asset to the Professional team.

Due to Ohi’s care, I have recommended a few people to Ohi and Professional.  I know that at least one of the people that I made the recommendation to started to go to weekly sessions with him.

Thank you.

Mike and his team were excellent. They are committed, knowledgeable and professional and got me back on my feet after knee surgery quicker than my surgeon thought was possible. Most of all I appreciated their practical approach – they customized my treatment week to week based on my own progress and level of fitness. They were thought partners in how to achieve my priorities of getting back running and playing squash as soon as possible.

Every time I visit Professional (2-3 times weekly), my PT, Mansi, treats me with professionalism, warmth, and a wealth of knowledge. I have been going to physical therapy for a couple of months, and have seen tremendous improvements thanks to Mansi.

I would have given up and just lived with my lack of mobility, but Mansi helps me keep my spirits up while also helping me work hard towards my goals. Mansi’s advice and knowledge in the field constantly steer me in the right direction, and I am very grateful that I found her!!!

I have been a patient here for 3 years. I started treatment after a Laminectomy in 2014. I have a severe case of Spinal Stenosis and a Spinal Fusion was not far off for me. In May of 2016 we determined I needed to have more surgery, so we elected to do the Spinal fusion. After the surgery I experienced nerve damage that compromised my left leg. I had little to no strength and could barely lift it off the table. Sustained lifting exercises were not an option since I could barely control my leg movement.

After my first few sessions with Ewa, I began to have more control and felt it getting stronger. Soon I was able to lift and control my leg from the table. My core was also very weak and building muscle strength was in order. Continued therapy that includes massaging my back, kneading muscles that spasm, and leg strengthening put me on the right path to healing. My core has regained its strength and exercising has become pleasant again. Increasing my exercise routine at the precise intervals made the experience pleasant and reduced the pain I’ve endured for quite some time. I passed the one year mark in May of 2017 and feel great. My surgeon was overwhelmed with how well I’m progressing, stating that he’s thrilled with the results of my PT experience. He gives Ewa and me full credit for doing all the work.

As an avid golfer and overall sports nut, I was determined to get back on to the course. Ewa and I worked on some additional exercises that help to improve my flexibility and my ability to swing a golf club. In early July 2017 I teed off for the very first time in 4 seasons!!! I am thrilled to be able to play, playing well is another story, lol. Let’s get real, without the surgery and a well designed exercise regimen tailored to my specific needs, I couldn’t have achieved this goal. Yes, I did (and still do) the work but I’m not alone, she’s with me every step of the way, she is the true hero here, I’m forever grateful for her ability to turn a bad day into a good one, eliminate pain and bring comfort, her professionalism and most of all, she cares! I am lucky to have her on my team. Thank you Ewa…

In 2013 I was diagnosed with a Neurological movement disorder. After consulting with specialists and spending many months and a lot of money for out-patient PT at a well known hospital. I moved on to my sixth Neurologist and was able to begin recovery which included being recommended to Professional. There I met and began to work with a very impressive and knowledgeable young man – Joe. Within a short time, a lot of work on my part and encouragement from Joe, I am walking straighter and getting stronger. I still have a more work to do, but, I believe with Joe’s guidance I will regain my independence. Thank You, Joe, and Professional!

Having had two lengthy stints at Professional PT for my back and two broken femurs I can truly testify to the compassion, care, expertise, and professionalism of the director, Rich, and his capable staff. With the opportunity of observing the interactions of the staff with each other and the clients, I continue to be amazed at the consistency of care and kindness each is shown. They are a mirror of what I hope we could all be for one another.

The attentiveness given for every need, the readiness to help and relationship-building that ensues combined with the actual physical therapy that occurs. They care about every person who is treated and each is considered special and unique. But Rich is responsible for creating this kind of consistent environment of care, service and therapy for the whole person. Rich is a healer both inside and out. His intuitive skill of seeing beyond the bones, muscles and joints to the heart causes this healing phenomenon. I live with an attitude of gratitude for him, his staff and for what a gift they are to me.

AWESOME! Very professional

My physical therapist was Gary, he was the best physical therapist I’ve ever had. I have multiple myeloma and then I broke my ankle. Gary was so patient and caring with me. He taught me so much. Even though I have to walk with a cane he did so well with me. He gave me breaks in between, I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. He’s so compassionate and caring. Thank you Gary for all you do.

Wonderful support & treatment. Rich and his team at the Mamaroneck location were caring, supportive and provided quality care in a great environment. I can’t thank them enough….

I had a very good experience at Professional Physical Therapy. Catherine was knowledgeable and friendly. She did a good deep tissue massage, prescribed effective exercises, and answered my numerous questions. She also put me on a path of home exercises to do that will hopefully prevent (or at least significantly postpone) knee replacement or shoulder replacement surgery. I liked that the exercises were printed out in color. I appreciated that she gave me the correct color rubber bands for the exercises around my knees. The vibe was clean, friendly, and professional. Thank you, Catherine!

Since I started coming here I feel much better and the staff are very nice and professional.

I’ve always been skeptical of physical therapy in the past. Partly because places I’ve gone to in the past I felt rushed and that very little attention was given to me by the therapists. Other places are about how many people they can see and push out the door as quickly as possible. Nothing could be farther from the truth about Professional in Hartsdale, NY.

At my first appointment, I was not able to put any weight on my right knee. My pain level was a 10. I met with Mansi and we talked for a good 15 minutes and Mansi listened to what I hoped to accomplish and from there came up with a game plan to help me reach my goals. My goals were to be able to put weight on my right leg pain free, walk without pain and do a flight of stairs without pain. With Mansi’s guidance and Ashley making sure I did every exercise correctly, I’m happy to say I’ve met most of my goals. I can stand on my right leg with no pain and I can walk without pain. I can do a flight of stairs for the most part pain free. I still have little ways to go but when I look back to where I started to where I am now, I never could have done it without Mansi and Ashley’s guidance and persistence. They knew when to push me and when to step back. I would highly recommend Professional to anyone who wants to see results and feel good again.

I’ve been to many PTs in the past few years and Mansi is the best. Her concern, her knowledge, professionalism exceeded my expectations. Her sense of humor also helped me in my progress and healing during those moments I didn’t want to be there because of the pain. However she was empathetic, listened and at each appointment provided the treatment I needed. I will always be grateful and remember the care I received at Professional Physical Therapy at the Hartsdale location. Thank you! (Melanie and Vicky were the best support team…thank you!)

I have been a patient at Professional Therapy in West Orange NJ for the past few months for pain and discomfort in my right arm and shoulder due to a torn rotator cuff. I am so improved that I really believe I will be avoiding surgery. I have complete mobility of my arm with no or very little discomfort. My team was wonderful, very professional and I knew they wanted me to succeed. The staff was also so good and so helpful. Everyone was always in good spirits which reflects on the patients. It was really a good experience and I would recommend Professional to everyone who needs PT.

I want to thank everyone at Professional for making my recovery better than I could have ever imagined. Leaving the hospital after getting a knee replacement I thought I’d never walk again but four months later I can run for the first time in 44 years. Jane, Marissa and Barbie at the front desk are so welcoming and helped me with all the paperwork in the beginning. Evan and Ori are my main guys, making my recovery a breeze for me. They challenge me and make sure I’m always trying my hardest. Best people and place there is.

Physical therapy has shown me how to take care of my back problems better and to know my limits. The staff were great, professional, and caring.

I would like to thank everybody at Professional in Mamaroneck for their outstanding care, concern, and encouragement throughout my recent 11 month PT journey. The entire Mamaroneck staff is friendly, warm, happy, kind, and more than competent in their various jobs! I love going to PT and always feel so well taken care of whenever I am at a session. I am so thankful that I found them and highly recommend this practice to everyone I know who needs PT. Keep up the great work!

Wow! I am very pleased with my experience at Professional PT in Spring Lake, NJ. The staff was courteous and helpful. For the past two months my therapist, designed and implemented my personal program that increased my arm motion and reduced my shoulder pain. She is a true professional –knowledgeable, honest and caring. I’m excited to be on my way to recovery.

If it wasn’t for Melanie at PPT in Mamaroneck my life literally would be hell. She not only fixed me perfectly but she did it the right way allowing me to get back on track when I was ready and able to workout at 100% efficiency and at the rate I wanted. Professional Physical Therapy is the best and I hope I never need them again! But if I do, I know I’ll always be in great hands…literally!

I was treated by Jessica in the Port Jefferson office. I had 4 bulging discs in my neck and frequent numbness in my fingers which had lasted ~6 months. Jessica directed and orchestrated a therapy treatment with me which greatly relieved the tension in my neck and the numbness in my fingers. She is very good. I recommend her most highly.

I found Professional inadvertently. I was looking for a different facility. Best mistake ever. A huge THANK YOU TO THE FOLLOWING STAFF:

1) Melanie at the front desk who always greets you warmly, books the appointment and takes care of your medical insurance. (Which we all know is a very difficult job! Mel, your competence is rare and very reassuring!). It’s great having you at the helm!

2) Ashley (a/k/a the sheriff) who always makes sure you are doing your exercises correctly and that you do not cheat! (But always does it with a smile!). She will demonstrate just how it is done and is very patient! Ashley you are a success story waiting to happen!

3) Zach who is extremely competent, works you to the core, but makes sure the exercises work for you. Explains what the pain actually means so you don’t feel as if you’re spinning your wheels.

4) Mansi, who has the knowledge, is more than just competent. Her expertise is second to none. She is incredible! A true professional with the drive to make your healing fun and successful. She will work you to the core, but always with her eye on the prize and a sense of humor.

This is the dream team! The expertise demonstrated and practiced by this team is truly phenomenal.

When I first went to Professional, I could not do anything with my shoulder. I broke it a few weeks before. Since my doctor thought I was ready for physical therapy, he gave me a list of places to go. I am so happy I chose Professional at 22 E. 49th Street. Peter and his team were wonderful. They had all the patience in the world with me and much compassion. I am so much better. It is because of the program and great care that I received. I even recommended Peter to a co-worker who raved to me about them. She couldn’t thank me enough for recommending Professional. I hope I never need physical therapy again, but if I ever do, I know exactly where to go to get better. Because of my experience, I will continue to highly recommend Professional. Thank you for a really great experience.

Maria was very helpful. Cured my shoulder pain and also was able to diagnose a problem that three other professionals couldn’t figure out!

I want to thank Professional Physical Therapy and my PT Maria for the excellent work they did in helping me recover from my shoulder surgery. After working with Maria, my shoulder has felt better than ever. I felt motivated and challenged for each physical therapy session. She and the team also gave me the tools to continue exercises on my own. I’ve been able to go back to playing the sports I love feeling better than I have in a long time. I don’t hope to get injured again, but if I do, I know I’m coming back to Maria!!!

My name is Charlie and I had level 3, 4 and 5 spinal fusion surgery on May 15, 2015. It was a long road to recovery, and I wouldn’t have made it without the help I received from Professional Physical Therapy in Copiague. Lori and the rest of the team knew my goal was to ride long distance bike tours again. They kept me focused and gave me back a positive attitude which helped me achieve my goal. During the week of June 18th I went on the Great Ohio Bike Adventure and rode over 200 miles. I would like to thank everyone at the Copiague Professional Physical Therapy office. The entire staff was friendly and helpful including the therapists, aides and front desk. I would highly recommend this office to anyone who needs physical therapy.

Maria and her team at Professional got this runner back on the treadmill 4 months after ankle surgery, using a combination of therapies and –most importantly– encouragement. She embraced my commitment to get back on my feet providing additional resources to continue my rehab in between sessions with her. Now back to running outdoors and continuing to build mileage and strength. Would recommend any time! Thank you!

My name is Dan, and while I have seen you on several occasions working with patients and other therapists over the past two months, we have never been formally introduced.

I first learned of ProEx from my Chiropractor (Dr. James Ellis of Evolved Health Chiropractic & Sports Medicine) after he strongly endorsed the ProEx “brand” and urged me to call your Woburn location regarding a referral I had received following a recent total hip replacement. Since I have learned to value Dr. Ellis’ recommendations and opinions, I fully expected to encounter only the most professional, high quality of therapeutic services with ProEx. I am writing this email now because after nearly eight weeks of physical therapy my unrealistically high expectations have not only been consistently met through ProEx, but often exceeded in many important ways.

It is a rare thing for me to be impressed by another organization or business model. Yet from my very first introduction with ProEx, sitting in your lively but comfortable waiting room, sipping my complementary coffee and reading your mission and values so plainly and proudly posted throughout, I have been consistently fascinated. I felt compelled to share my thoughts with you now as I will not be back for therapy again until I have recovered enough from my 2nd hip replacement scheduled for 6/27. Once able, I have every intention of scheduling my evaluation with Wally at your Woburn location and continuing with regular therapy to promote my recovery.

Because I know the value of customer feedback and that far too often we are bombarded with only the complaints and areas requiring improvement, I wanted to take a moment to summarize the many positive outcomes I have witnessed consistently across a number of key performance measures:

• Front Desk
  • From my first phone call and positive impression with Patty, to my last conversation with Emily Wednesday evening, I have experienced only the most professional caliber of customer service and administrative support from these gatekeepers.
  • When I ran into a conflict with work and could not make my scheduled appointment, I always found a compassionate and understanding person on the other end of the phone.
  • Over the weeks I had several occasions to talk with them both and marvel in the level of connection they seem to enjoy with the ProEx brand. Also, the text reminders of upcoming appointments are a nice touch!
• Nawal “Wally”
  • I doubt you need my resounding endorsement of this young clinician to know what a powerful asset she is to your organization. From my first formal evaluation with Wally to my last PT visit, I knew I could count upon her to provide exemplary PT services for my hip as well as encouragement for my soul.
  • Wally has a special knack for making each person feel they are her only client, and she seems to engage strategically with other staff and resources in order to naturally maximize her influence (i.e., supervising several clients simultaneously by using paraprofessionals or non-therapist aides).
  • In my experience I have found that good clinicians rarely make successful administers, yet Wally seems to have a keen mind and understanding of certain administrative demands. For example, Wally routinely encouraged me to schedule additional appointments in advance to support my progress.
  • Additionally, I became aware through my casual “interviews” with Wally that she highly valued the training opportunities she has received/is receiving from ProEx, further confirming the ProEx stated vision to access continued, specialized training for its employees.
  • Over the course of my therapy I also had occasion to witness Wally’s interactions with other patients and colleagues and routinely observed evidence of her leadership capacity. She is widely respected among her peers and enjoys a position of positive influence throughout her “community” in a natural, non-threatening (and I’m guessing) effective manner.
  • There is no doubt in my mind that this young professional enjoys a promising future (within or outside ProEx), and as a millennial Wally is likely to seek additional opportunities to remain engaged, challenged and fulfilled. If she were my employee, I would ensure at all costs that she find herself on an upwardly mobile professional development career track, that she understood her value within the larger organization, and that she receive evidence of her continued growth. Hold on to her tightly!
• The ProEx promise and Mission:
  • I believe I can understand a great deal about the senior leadership and values of an organization by simply observing employees on the front lines. Organizations are notorious for over-promising high ideals then under-delivering in practice. Throughout my experience with ProEx I observed consistent evidence of an authentic, shared understanding and commitment to stated goals. For example, I DO believe that you value my time. You DO communicate clearly and effectively. ProEx DID want to know me and I very much appreciated the comfortable atmosphere you promised and delivered.
  • From observing and listening to the therapists talk I DO believe that ProEx’s goal of professional development and education is one fully integrated (and appreciated) throughout all layers of the organization, and that there is a sense of shared pride and accountability in the stated desire to be “leaders in Clinical Care, Education, and Research, ultimately having a positive impact on the Physical Therapy profession.” Pretty great stuff!

There’s more I could say, but I’ve already rambled far beyond what the average attention span has the capacity to bear. You guys are doing some pretty amazing things and I could not be more satisfied with my treatment thus far. Plus – I love that I’m receiving services from such a progressive and well run professional team.

As an aside, I did a little research and am copying this email to a couple of names that I hope will care to read my positive remarks and perhaps even use the affirmation with your team as proof that something is working very well (and that it recognized by customers/clients). It really does make a profound difference to people in need, and I am confident that you are improving thousands of lives across your sphere of influence!

Keep up the great work, and I will see you in a few short weeks!

The staff and therapists at Professional Physical Therapy in Katonah have been incredibly patient, kind, and helpful. Everyone has been instrumental in my recovery from Achilles surgery. I am particularly grateful to Shikha. She has gone the extra mile in ALL of our therapy sessions. Shikha is extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic and most of all positive. Without Shikha’s insights, motivation, and patience I would have been light years behind. She got me back on my feet and walking well before I thought it was possible. THANK YOU for everything Shikha and the entire team in Katonah! You are all the best!

I can’t say thanks enough! After a car accident the hospital ER cleared me with no signs of a concussion, but Stephanie and Adam strongly urged me to get checked out again based on my symptoms and their observations. They even reached out to the doctor and set the appointment up for me SAME DAY. They were right, I have a concussion. The doctor said it was so bad he didn’t have to complete the full exam to know and had no idea how the ER missed it.

Hopefully I will not need another knee replacement, but if I do, I would return to Professional. I had a very good outcome: increased strength and range of motion, endurance, decreased pain and swelling, thanks to the excellent care provided by Christopher, Kostas, and the assistance of Andy who always helped me with the exercise equipment. Chris and Kostas would always try to help me figure out causes of unexpected pain and muscle aches and then recommend what to do about it. Treatment tables always cleaned between patients. I was always seen on time. Thank you Chris and Kostas!

Thanks for everything, my leg was fine in Belize. I had no trouble entering the water, climbing up the ladder or even walking on the beach. I want to thank everyone at Professional PT, you were great!

I want to thank Rich and the Professional staff, not only for helping me get back on the field, but for actually working with me on the field. Not too often can you find a physical therapist that can throw a 15 yard out on a dime. I look forward to the 2017 season, in large part because of the Professional team.

Bob and his staff are nothing short of amazing. They are all very knowledgeable and confident in what they do. They had me back to work lifting 50lb panels repeatedly over head. Thanks guys. You’re the best.

I have been looking for a personal trainer, who would keep a balance in my workout that would strengthen me, but just as important keep me injury free. Personal Trainer Cindy in the Copiague, NY facility has done just that. Her training program has given me back my strength, and my endurance. I would highly recommend her.

Frank from Professional Physical Therapy has been working on my left shoulder. He has been instrumental in helping me to strengthen it. I just completed my first bikini competition. I am a mom of two boys age 3 and 5 years old, so needless to say I have been super busy during the competition. I could not have done it without Frank’s help and support.

When I came to see Frank I had little range in my left shoulder. He taught me how to stretch and strengthen my shoulder. My Deltoids look amazing (all three sections Anterior, Medial, and Posterior). I get stopped by strangers all the time saying they love my shoulders. I am very grateful to have worked with Frank. I highly recommend him if you need a caring professional physical therapist.

Maybe a bit odd text to get, and I know I mentioned this before, but one more time: thank you so much for the recommendation of Michael at Professional. The way he and his team have worked with me, and the progress I see day by day is making me really happy. I was really bummed to deal with the surgery and lose so my much use of my arm, but working with these guys weekly is simply amazing. Big big hug to you and thanks again.

I just finished 6 pleasant weeks of PT with the team of Samantha and Tawna. Everyone was knowledgeable, professional, sensitive, and attentive. The facility was clean and everything was in working order. All of the staff were cheerful while assisting the clients – including the receptionists. It was such a pleasant experience being in the company of such caring and competent professionals. I feel stronger and have more energy. And no pain. Thank you so much!

I’ve been through this surgery on the other hand so I knew how the recovery process would be and had total faith in my surgeon. With that being said, I was unable to use my left hand for almost a month and relied on my wife and children to help me with certain things such as dressing, cutting food (I was unable to stabilize my fork), driving, cooking, cleaning, and other various tasks. My hands are my lifeline since I’m a chef and owner of two restaurants in the Hamptons. During the busy season I can cut fish for up to 5 hours a day! Since one of my restaurants is closed I picked the slow time of the year for surgery and rehab. I was also concerned about returning my favorite hobby, golf. Therapy has been painful since my left pinky had been contracted for so long, I needed nodules removed, and two skin grafts (one to my pinky and one to my thumb). Karen had already pre-warned me not to kick her under the table and both her and Rob really pushed me to get my pinky moving again. They explained the importance of the pinky for grip strength and although it was a painful process I would not be disappointed with the results. Their positivity eased my concerns and I vowed to do anything they told me to get better.  I’ve made great progress in the past few months and I am able to hold items in my hand but not for long periods of time and I cannot lift anything heavy at the moment. My golf swing has gotten better as well! I’m almost completely independent and in perfect timing for both golf and the summer season in the Hamptons!

When I was told that I had to receive Occupational Therapy by my doctor, I did not know what to expect. I was a bit uneasy about this at first. I was told that I had an extensive sprain in my left hand, which was extremely painful! My hand was stiff and swollen and I could hardly move my fingers without it hurting.

I did not know what to expect, because I never experienced this kind of injury before. I knew I was having difficulties with my everyday routine. See, I ride a bicycle everywhere, and even that was causing me a lot of pain. It was hard getting dressed, putting on or taking off my coat, washing dishes, opening jars, and lifting and carrying things. So, I really needed help, so my hand could function normally and properly heal. I was really very worried that my hand would never be the same again.

After meeting my therapist my mind was put at ease. She assured me that they would do all they could to make sure my hand would function normally once more. I felt good.

After the first few sessions, I could see that she was a woman of her word. she worked my hand hard and we saw results. I was on my way to recovery. I was very impressed by her professionalism, integrity, and the genuine concern for me that she displayed while taking care of me as her patient. She was always concerned about me and what my doctor as saying about my hand. She answered all my questions to the best of her ability and never once did not listen to be when I voiced a concern or worry that I had. She made me feel very comfortable and made me believe I would recover. She was attentive and a good listening, she was always polite and always had a smile on her face and a cheerful word to share, which I always appreciated. She gave me lots of insight and kept me informed of what was going on with my hand so I was never in the dark. I received a lot of positive reinforcement from her, which I truly needed! I found my therapist to be a positive and caring therapist who truly looks after the well being of her patients, and she has a sense of humor too! She is a friendly person with a nice personality that will take her very far in her career. She made me feel good and the exercises were a breeze because of it. I had a very positive experience working with Professional, and even looked forward to the sessions, and wanted to arrive on time.

In conclusion, I’ve never had a more pleasant experience with medical therapy than I have here. Everyone here at this place is friendly and dedicated to helping others to regain their strength. I thank them all. Michelle is someone who cares, is committed to what she does, and left me with the impression that she really cares (which is important in this field of work). She is a very nice person and I am truly happy to have been in her care. Because of all of this I will recommend your services to others that I know, and thank you for your caring spirit that helped me heal in my time of need! You are truly heaven sent. You exude professionalism to the MAX!

I was terrified and shocked when my wrist was sliced with a glass bottle. I cut all my right finger tendons, one of my thumb tendons, and an artery and nerve in my wrist. My injury happened so quickly and it was so overwhelming. I was worried that I wouldn’t regain full use of my right dominant hand again. After meeting Rob, I felt comfortable and reassured I would get all of my function back. Therapy was really painful at first and sometimes frustrating but Rob, Karen, and Liz were all so encouraging and constantly found ways to show my improvement so I didn’t give up hope. It was amazing the first time I could open and close my hand! I was so excited I sent a video to my parents in California. Although I’ve been attending therapy for almost a year, I went from being totally dependent on my boyfriend to help me with showering, getting dressing, eating, and taking care of our dog, to being almost completely independent! I still look forward to therapy and can’t thank the staff in Southampton enough for all of their help to get me to this point and to continue to address the skills and impairments I need to become completely independent.

After having a valve replacement and a triple bypass a year and half ago, Cindy , my personal trainer at Professional Fitness Center, has and still works with me twice a week on building my strength and cardio. She has a full schedule she works on with me and makes adjustments as she sees fit. She monitors my blood pressure from start to finish to be sure my heart rate is where it needs to be. She is kind and extremely caring and I feel very comfortable working out under her supervision. I will continue to workout here as the facility is clean, bright and extremely comfortable to work out in and Cindy is a major asset!!!

Having been to a few different physical therapy providers over the years, I can without a doubt say that Professional is the most quality focused, organized, and knowledgeable as well as professionally managed of them all, and by quite a long ways. I probably will be complete with my treatment 2-3 weeks from now, and will miss going – what other healthcare company can you say that about?
