Came for ACL Rehab... Now I Actually Enjoy Exercise…read more I came to Evolution Physical Therapy and Personal Training in Norwalk for ACL rehab... and somehow ended up becoming a person who actually enjoys exercise. I first started with ACL prehab before surgery, and then returned for post-operative ACL rehabilitation. What immediately stood out about Evolution is the true one-on-one care. Your therapist is focused entirely on you - your injury, your progress, and helping you get back to living your life. Working with Nick helped rebuild my leg strength far beyond what I expected. Somewhere along the way I realized I wasn't just recovering from an ACL injury, I was actually getting stronger overall. So yes... the person who once described herself as allergic to exercise somehow ended up continuing with personal training at Evolution. Nick has a rare ability to meet you exactly where you are and help you get stronger from there. After months of working with the team, the progress has been incredible. I'm stronger, more mobile, and more confident than I've been in years. Choosing Evolution was one of the best decisions I made during my recovery. One of the things I really appreciate about this clinic is the environment. During sessions I see people recovering from all kinds of injuries and conditions, and watching their progress is genuinely inspiring. I also see a lot of people coming in with knee injuries and sports-related injuries, and it's amazing to watch them get stronger week by week. It's clear the therapists here are specialists who know how to guide people through recovery and back to living fully. The whole team is knowledgeable, compassionate, and genuinely fun to be around. They care about helping you heal, but also about helping you stay strong long after recovery. If you live in nearby towns like Westport, Weston, or Stamford (really anyone in Fairfield County), Evolution in Norwalk is absolutely worth the short drive. What started as injury rehab turned into something much bigger for me.

The receptionist, Kelly, snapped at me to get back with an incredibly rude, bossy attitude. When I called her out on her hostile tone, she doubled down on her power trip.

The doctors are fine , but the PT dept is run like a mill I was previously at HSS PT and I only…read moreleft because they no longer took my Cigna insurance which is my secondary with Medicare. The PT at HSS treats you individually for 30 minutes and is prompt and on time. At ONS My appt was 10:30 and I didn't see the PT for 20 minutes and I just sat there with a hot towel around my ankle. I kept asking where the PT was and they said she would be over shortly. She spent 10 minutes with me and gave me off to her assistant. When I asked what was the 4th exercise I did on my initial visit she said I have 24 patients and I don't know. I canceled all my other appointments and I'll return to HSS where I can get all my care by a PT. I know this is owned by a venture capitalist and the care is not great and rushed. I suggest you use HSS PT and not here!!!!

My lead therapist is Alexander Torres who is an exceptionally bright and very kind young man. My parents were both physicians and they taught me a lot about medical care, and Alex possesses so many of the crucial qualities a great doctor should have, which makes him an outstanding example of the BEST in his work. INNOVATIVE is truly blessed to have him as therapist, leader and a friend on their wonderful team. Another therapist, Nick Guarcello, an associate with Alex, has also worked hard to improve my condition and his medical knowledge and kind, cheerful personality have been essential in my progress. Also, Andrew DeFranco, an aide to Alex is an energetic, intelligent young man who has been available and has done a great job working on my issues. And last but not least, Christine, the sweet, very helpful receptionist is a great, very pretty asset to the image of your company. I am moving to Austin, Texas tomorrow which is a difficult change, but necessary for me, and I will truly miss INNOVATIVE and I just had to thank you and your team for your attention, expertise and medical wisdom and if I return to this area some day, I will be there right away. Best of luck, great success, and much love to you and your outstanding company and its members.

I have been seeing Hope Bove, one of the owners, on and off for over two years. Originally, I came…read moreto see her with a chronic, degenerative disc disorder that had caused me a significant amount of pain for years. I had literally seen seven physicians and thirteen physical therapists before meeting Hope and Dr. Stu Steinman. I had been told by previous practitioners that I would never run again and that I would likely be in some level of continuous pain for the rest of my life. Since beginning treatment with Dr. Steinman and Hope (who are conveniently located in the same building in Norwalk), my back pain has been diminished to almost nothing. I exercise two to three hours per day, including running, without pain. Hope is a phenomenal physical therapist who cares deeply about her patients. She is intuitive, thoughtful, innovative, hardworking and demanding (and I say demanding as a positive, because if you truly want to get better, it takes work). I recommend her to anyone and everyone I speak to (who might have a need) - so it was imperative that I write a review here as well.

I have been to probably a dozen physical therapists over the years and Brian is absolutely the…read morebest! He is a master diagnostician! As an example, I went to him a few years ago because I was feeling that my quads were weakening as I worked out instead of getting stronger. The more I worked them the weaker they got. He did a bunch of mobility tests and figured out that because of a hamstring injury 2 years prior I had adjusted and wasn't properly using my hamstrings and gluts. (It had been so long that I'd forgot I'd injured them until he started asking me about it...) He taught me some simple exercises to retrain my muscles and within weeks I was back in business. I've gone to him several times now over the last ten years and I am continually amazed at how skilled he is. They now use an app that shows me exactly what the exercises are and so I have easy access to them when I get home and I can make sure I'm doing them correctly. The team is incredibly professional and helpful (Thank you again for your help, Ali!). I've been to other places where they used stim so much it burned a hole in my leg. I've been to places where they are working with 4-5 people at a time and you wind up sitting around waiting. I've been to places where they do all kinds of different things but I don't get better. These folks are far and away the best. Don't waste your time anywhere else.

He stayed with me through the whole process, referring me to a local pain management doctor (who ordered MRI, Xray and EMG study); reviewed my scans; and provided a personal referral to a top spine surgeon at HSS who is difficult to see. While awaiting surgery two months later (C4/C5 Cervical Discectomy Fusion), Jason provided nearly total pain relief to my arm with dry needle therapy every two weeks. That worked so well, I began questioning whether I actually needed surgery...but was assured by him (and my surgeon) that I did, to avoid permanent nerve damage and severe arm strength loss. I'm happy to report that my surgery was completed 10 days ago by Dr. McAnany at HSS in Stamford, and that I am recovering remarkably well. I highly recommend Jason and his team. He is thorough, caring, involved with his patients, and genuinely happy to see their progress. I have already referred several friends to him who agree with my assessment, and have thanked me for the referral. Jason is one of those rare healthcare providers who goes beyond, and actually becomes a sounding board and friend. I wish there were more like him. Stephen S. Darien, CT

I feel so much better. What a relief!!! The variety of treatments are really impressive and well-rounded. I've tried acupuncture MANY MANY times and I can't say that I noticed concrete results myself. Dr. Pulick's treatments are totally unique and they're 1000% effective. The office is convenient with easy parking and the entire staff is lovely. Wonderful experience :) Go to RSM!!!
