Erika is hands-down one of the most exceptional Pilaties instructors I've ever worked with. Her depth of knowledge goes far beyond movement-she has an impressive understanding of anatomy, food science, and nutrition, and she weaves all of it seamlessly into her teaching. Every session feels intentional, and completely customized to the body in front of her. She doesn't just cue exercises; she explains the why behind then, helping you move smarter, not harder. Her nutrition & food science expertise adds a rare and invaluable layer-she understands how fueling, recover, and movement all work together, and it shows in the results. Training with Erika has made me stronger, more aware, and more connected to my body than ever before. If you want real, lasting change guided by someone who truly knows their craft, Erika is unmatched. read more

Helen and her team at OPTS have seen me 3 times now and all I can say is thank you for everything they have done. My pain has often affected my strength in the strained areas and it usually takes several months to bounce back. In just a few short visits (which I plan on making many more trips to OPTS) my pain has subsided and I can without hesitation say they are TRULY treating the weakness. I have been seeing therapists for physical contact sport related injuries my whole life. The pilates based therapy they practice is exactly the type of treatment we all need. Other therapists don't treat for long term health but OPTS concentrate on the foundation and education of the client. They are true one on one and care about your progress. If your thinking about seeing them don't hesitate. read more

This is were my pain stoped! I have been suffering from back pain, Sciatic nerve due to a accident. I attended Physical Therapy for almost 3 months at a different place visited a spine specialist, who wants me to get an epidural every now and then, and also looked at surgery. I was desperate for a solution, I could barely stand on my leg at times, couldn't get a good night of sleep walked with a limp and in lots of pain. When I noticed a workshop ad on facebook I was ready to try anything. I decided to attended the workshop on a Saturday consulted with Dr. Helen Words can't even explain how great I feel after just a few short visits with Dr. Helen Her persona and characteristic alone can cure you!! Dr. Helen is amazing and was so thorough with her examination. She explained my diagnosis and my treatment plan in great detail. They never gave up on me they made sure I was well enough to get back to work. This is not just your normal chiropractor office they offer Pilates dry needling Chiropractic service on top of that they worked out a affordable payment plan because my insurance would not cover. This is a family Orthopedic when I say family meaning husband son and daughter and then they treat you like family. Thank you ISA RAFATI read more

Could not have been better. Listened. Listened. Listened. Tweaked treatments and exercises as necessary. Taken seriously. Consistent checking to ensure I was okay with each step. I recommend them highly. If anything else goes amok, this is where I'd come. read more

I've been to OPT and Refresh a few times for my back and ankle. I have had nothing but great experiences each time. This is a family run business that focuses on one on one attention. This is somewhat of a rarity these days in health care. Other clinics/chains are a revolving door of patients who work with rehab aides because the physical therapist is treating 3-4 patients at a time. There's no way other places can offer the same quality of care. As a health care professional myself, I would recommend this place. You can expect to be treated as a whole person, and not as a number and body part. read more

Orthopedic Physical Therapy is a wonderful, family-owned business with the most caring and dedicated staff in the world! If you are in pain, and you're not sure what to do, please call them. The environment there is so friendly and helpful, you will be glad you made the decision to start on the road to recovery! The staff there is phenomenal and will work their hardest to get you feeling your best as soon as possible. Dr. Helen is amazing and even though she is retired now, she is someone the staff looks to for her vast knowledge of how the human body works. Dr. Stephanie is a true dynamo! She will not stop until she figures out how to make you feel better. She excels at many different types of therapies and never stops learning new techniques to try. Dr. Anne is the best! She is a steady, calming force that listens to what you have going on and will try many different methods of therapy until she figures out what works best for you. They will also give you a personalized plan that you can do on your own, as well. I would recommend Orthopedic Physical Therapy to anyone who is looking for pain relief and wants knowledgeable, caring staff that will work with them until they find a solution! read more

As a nurse, and as someone who deals with patient care on a daily basis, I have nothing but good things to say about Orthopedic Physical Therapy Services and Refresh Pilates and Wellness Studio. I had injured my back at work and was in need of physical therapy. Previous experience with places like ATI had me looking for something different, an atmosphere that I would enjoy being in, and a place that I would actually look forward to going to every other day. I got all of those things here and more! This is a family owned business, and I felt like a friend every time I walked in the door. Helen, Stephanie, and Rena are absolutely the best!! They focus on each patient one-on-one, which I have never seen anywhere else. Every day after I completed my exercises, I would get a massage, with electric stimulation, and sometimes cupping therapy (which was my favorite!) I would come home and feel like I just got treated at the spa! Within a week of treatment I felt significant improvement in my back, and within a month I was back to work on full duty. I will be recommending these girls to everyone I know who is looking for PT, and also just to friends looking to get a massage or take a pilates or yoga class. A+++++ read more

Dr. Burkhart is a healer in so many different ways. She made me feel comfortable throughout the visit and she was a pleasure to be around. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this fantastic place and encourage everyone to make an appointment and get well soon! read more

After many years of wear and tear on my knees from an active lifestyle and passion for running, I was no longer able to enjoy the activities that have been so central to my life. In an effort to avoid having to undergo intensive surgery and the longterm healing process associated with it, I decided to pay a vist to Orthopedic Physical Therapy Services which came highly recommended from a close friend. I have been blown away by the quality of care i have received here. i feel like I am coming back to see family and friends each time I visit. Dr. Burkhart and her whole team are a pleasure and I give them the highest praise and recommendatons! read more

There are times when words hardly seem adequate and this is certainly one of those times. I have seen a vast array of physicians and physical therapists within the past 15 years for a myriad of medical issues, all of which are chronic. Never before has my immense arena of treatment included such talented, skilled, personable and compassionate doctors as those who work for Orthopedic Physical Therapy Services, LLC or its sister company, Homer Chiropractic Clinic, housed in the same building, (see my review of December 12, 2012). I have been treated by Helen Owens-Burkhart, PT, DPT many, many times when I broke my wrist in several places not long ago. Working in tandem with my occupational therapists, my wrist healed much sooner than I anticipated. Now, it is fully functional and I am pleased to report that Dr. Burkhart played a significant role in its excellent results, both by utilizing her obvious skill, but also her wonderful sense of humor. Unfortunately, I also have terrible arthritis in my lumbar area and her daughter, Stephanie, is using Pilates and state of the art equipment to help keep these problems at bay. She is fabulous and sees me three times per week, while Homer Chiropratic seems me once per week. Stephanie makes the treatment very enjoyable and is extremely supportive. These women, as well as two male therapists named Gee and Brian, are class acts! They really care about their patients and it shows. Between these two clinics, there usually are a lot of patients in the waiting room and every examining room is taken. That said, one can always get an appointment when the need arises. There is humor . . . tremendous professionalism . . . extraordinary skill . . . and unique compassion among all of these people and I would never think of going anywhere else! They work long hours and have been wonderfully trained. My only regret is they don't make house calls! :-) read more
