As a woman of advanced years (close to 80), I obviously have limitations, but I still want to work towards fitness. He pushes me enough to make the sessions challenging but is careful to avoid using types of exercise that would overstretch my capacity. I have confidence that with Ryan supervising my workouts at Elevate I can gain strength and meanwhile enjoy my experience there.

I had met Justin (the PT) and Carla (the office manager) at a networking event. Shortly afterward I…read morefractured my kneecap. PT was inevitable and I'm so glad I met them, as I was dreading PT. My last two places were, in a word, awful. They assigned one therapist to 2-3 people at once, so you'd spend an hour for 20 minutes of actual treatment - if you're lucky. They point you to a machine and move on to the next person. Justin was with me the entire hour. He tailored the workout to me. He knows when to push (think football coach) and when to ease off because your body won't take it. He knows physiology and has an exercise for everything. And he's got a terrific sense of humor. (Be sure to tell him about your cats - he loves them.) Justin is also totally honest. Unlike some PT places in the city, he won't try to rope you into more sessions than you need. When you're done, you're done. My knee healed really fast, just a few months after the break, I'm way ahead of where most people are at this point. (Of course I went to all the sessions and did exercises at home too. Justin gave me very good diagrams and they've got online capabilities too. The location is fantastic. It's convenient and well-appointed. Where else do you go to PT and see a waiting room with tables, coffee, fruit and the New York Times? It's the classiest PT place in town. Their rates are reasonable. I couldn't believe what I was getting when my insurance paid the same (or more) for PT that was a waste of time. I'm writing this during the lockdown. I was so impressed that, when we're allowed to go to gyms again, I'm going back for some personal training. And I can't imagine going anywhere else for PT.

Multiple perspectives Close observation…read more Targeted therapy Enhanced home program Rapid results After two hip replacement surgeries and physical therapy after them, but still having problem areas, my surgeon suggested that I try a different approach to physical therapy. I found Advance Physical & Aquatic Therapy. I could not be more pleased with my experience there. Multiple perspectives My intake process was supervised by the senior therapist. In addition, I worked with three other therapists. Each one of them made observations about my therapy and suggested specific alterations to improve the outcome. Close observation I was continuously observed, and corrected in the manner in which I performed the various therapies. In physical therapy, if you do not perform the exercises properly, you cannot get the maximum benefit. Targeted therapy In addition to such a general matters as balance and flexibility, as I progressed in therapy, the therapists found specific exercises which assisted me in solving my specific problems. After my two surgeries, although my leg lengths were physically identical, the abdominal wall on one side did not allow my leg to hit the ground as it should. One therapist came up with an approach which dealt with that specific issue, and which has now largely been resolved. Another therapist came up with a modification which allowed me to add that exercise to my home program. After the surgeries, I found it difficult to put on shoes and socks, because I could not rotate my lower limbs below the knee upward to the extent I should be able to do. A third therapist came up with an exercise which is massively improved that situation. For years before the surgery, I had been dealing with curvature of the spine. It had worsened to the point where it was difficult for me to button the top button on dress shirts.. Being increasingly bent over started to bring on esophageal reflux, which was extremely uncomfortable. Over the course of my therapy, not only was I given a general conditioning program, but I was given a very effective method to help ameliorate the curvature of my spine and the esophageal reflux. My situation has improved to the point where I do not have symptoms of reflux, and I can, once again, button the top button of dress shirts, and put on a tie in a proper manner. Enhanced home program Every physical therapy program with which I dealt has provided a home program, the participation in which is absolutely essential for progress in relieving any condition. Advance Physical & Aquatic Therapy took that process to a new level by the use of a specific app. The app not only lists the specific exercises to be performed at home but also lists the number of times the exercise should be performed at one time as well as the number of times per week it should be performed. The app also provides a short video, showing the exact matter which each exercise should be performed. Upon completion of the set of exercises, it sends a signal back to the assigned therapist. Rapid results I completed the program in under five months. Am I physically perfect now? No! But I leave the program, knowing that I have the knowledge of how to continue progressing, and how to maintain an increase my fitness. Prospective patients should also know that, in the event that they do not have access to their own gym, or have athletic equipment at home, there is an aftercare program available for people who want to continue at the facility.

The entire staff has a great attitude that lifts your spirits. I was constantly able to joke around and enjoy my time. Zach was also particularly great. He judged my progress appropriately and tailored my sessions to ensure I was properly challenged. I bounced back even better than I could have hoped for. Before the injury, my max run distance was almost 5 miles and I did that maybe once. About 5 months after the surgery I was running 6 at a better time and so much more comfortably. Most of all, I appreciate the upfront and honest conversations. I knew my limitations and how I could prepare myself for my future, which included my wedding at a summer camp.
