I would highly recommend…read more I came to physical therapy following extensive back surgery involving disc and vertebrae replacement, along with stabilization from L2 to S1. From the very beginning, the care I've received has been thoughtful, attentive, and encouraging. Erin, my physical therapist, has been instrumental in my recovery. She focuses on strengthening my core and legs while carefully observing and listening during each session. Thanks to her attention to detail, I've learned that my knee positioning and the way I've been favoring it contributed to stiffness and limited rotation in my hip. She consistently provides targeted exercises to correct these issues and build strength, and I truly feel the progress. I can actually stand straight now. Able and Cami also make a big difference in the overall experience. They always greet us with smiles and laughter, which makes each visit enjoyable and helps the time pass quickly. Able, in particular, is very helpful with guiding proper posture and ensuring correct technique during exercises. I'm grateful for the entire team's support and dedication--it's made a meaningful impact on my recovery journey.

For years as the caregiver/Nanny for my husband, he had at least 15 PTs at home and not one of them came close to Annemarie's talents and professionalism. Bottom line, with the toll on my body over the years taking care of my 200+ lb BFF, my body needed a complete makeover. Annemarie was found and the rest is in the making. In 10 sessions, Annemarie got me up and running so much better to include getting my mindset moving in the right direction. i.AthletePhysio is a wonderful company with such a caring and capable staff - you feel so welcomed every time you step in the door. If Annemarie is not available, I believe you will be in capable hands no matter who you get to help you. I wish i.AthletePhysio and the staff continued success and I will be back as soon as I can (Annemarie, save room for me!). Thank you for all of your support!

I'm not sure how it happened, it wasn't even an injury, I just found myself not being able to move with ease any longer. I had become very stiff. It's as if all the decades of sitting caught up to me. My lifestyle consists of working on a computer all day and I spend another three hours in the car commuting. I went to i.Athlete after failed attempts with conventional PT. I got frustrated because they could never get to the root of the problem. A friend told me about i.Athlete and I've been coming for over a year now and I'm extremely happy with the progress I've made. Without my prompting, I recently had my daughter even comment that I have better mobility. Even though I can now bend down with ease, I plan on continuing the work I started. Based on the results I've seen, I trust the team at i.Athlete to help me break the cycle of a sedentary lifestyle and guide me to build strength and endurance. The team is very knowledgeable, sincere, nice and professional. The atmosphere is clean and inviting. I appreciate the care and guidance I've received from i.Athlete - total pros!

I am really late in recognizing the caliber of employee and the care that I received from everyone…read moreat this clinic after my shoulder surgery. When one suffers any kind of injury, and its concomitant loss of the ability to engage in normal day-to-day activities, it takes both a physical and psychological toll. We go through our lives with the presumption that tomorrow will be just like today, and when there is a breakdown in that pattern, we have to entrust strangers to the task of helping us repair the damage and to return to our lives. I consider myself incredibly lucky that the staff of Sports and Spine Orthopedics was recommended to me for this purpose. After my surgery, my doctor informed me that not all therapists are created equal. Sadly, many places simply throw an ice pack on your injury, give you a couple exercises to do, and send you on your way. This almost guarantees your injury will never heal correctly, and your lifetime mobility will almost certainly be impacted. From day one, my therapist, Dr. Joy Puente, pushed me and ensured that although the process wasn't a physically pleasant one, it was necessary and she made me feel very comfortable pushing my body where it needed to go. She was not just an incredible therapist, but she always maintained a strong sense of oversight over all of the events occurring on the floor. Even though she might be working with me, she was constantly aware of other patients, and other employees. She provided guidance, and ensured that others were given gentle correction if an exercise was off or being done incorrectly by a patient. It's the little things that separate the average from the superb. She is a wonderful leader, therapist, and person. I'd like to acknowledge some of the other employees as well. Ashlee was the first face I would generally see upon arriving for my appointments. She always had a smile and a kind word for everyone. One day I heard her recounting a story for a client who pointed out her bubbly personality. She told him that her mother had told her, "Nobody who comes to a hospital wants to see a frown on an employee," or words to that effect. It is words of wisdom such as this from our parents that set us out on our path into this world to become valuable employees, friends, and civic minded citizens. She's a wonderful young lady. The world needs more smiles and kind words for those in need of them. Big shout out to Marco, Diego, and Katherine (Catherine, Kathryn?). Each of these employees helped me on numerous occasions, even though the floor was busy, they painstakingly and caringly helped me with my exercises, and made sure I wasn't cheating. As our coaches once taught us, when we cheat, we're only cheating ourselves. God bless each of them for their kindness and care. In short, I was given excellent attention and, in a small way, wished that my sessions did not come to an end. These therapists are often tasked with working with some difficult clients, and they also have to listen to some very personal life stories. Part of their job, although certainly not in their job description, is to provide some "pastoral care," to these men and women, many of whom are elderly. The care they give is an excellent manifestation of the corporal works of mercy which we are called to provide to our fellow brothers and sisters. If you're still reading, I hope that this review has properly acknowledged and lauded those who helped me get back into the gym and back to work. My shoulder is back to its full range of movement, and I'm even "pre-habilitating" my other one. I wish all of the employees at this office the best and may each of you who read this who are recovering from surgery be returned to your former active lifestyles.

My awesome doctor, Dr. Farahmand, has requested testing for me in an effort to see how my body is handling my medications. I stopped by the office to pickup the proper paperwork to take down the hall for the lab to use and was warmly greeted, as always, by his staff. There ended up being a small snafu with the requested test not being available for me at the lab, but his staff did all they could to assist me with still trying to get it done. After several attempts to get the correct test for me on hand, I sadly had to leave without accomplishing the objective. But the funny part was that I just see this as I will have another chance to see the smiling faces of the Sports & Spine staff again in another week when the test does become available for me. The staff is so welcoming that it is actually a doctor office that I look forward to visiting, and for that I say THANK YOU! Thank you for making me feel seen and heard. And thank you so much for keeping me calm as I navigate the difficult waters of back pain. I appreciate all that your office does for me and others.

I recently started working with The Movement Schopp and wanted to share my experience so far…read more I came in dealing with a disc herniation at L5-S1 that I've had for about seven years. It was debilitating at first, and since then I've managed it, with flare-ups every six months or so. Over the years, I've tried Cox technique, chiropractic care, disc decompression, stretch therapy, acupuncture, and more. Some of these helped, but nothing really addressed the root issue or provided lasting results. This most recent flare-up brought back persistent left-sided lower back and hip pain that would trigger with movements like bending, twisting, core activation, and even push-ups. At times it would "grab" or clench suddenly and affect my day-to-day movement. At that point, I had enough and decided I needed to get to the root of the problem, which I believed was tied to my posture and movement patterns. My initial evaluation with Dr. Geoff was very informative. He explained not just what was going on, but why, and identified issues with my core and pelvic stability that were causing other muscles to overcompensate. He gave me a clear plan with tools I could start using right away, which was very different from past experiences. After just two sessions, I already feel about 80 percent better. The clenching episodes have significantly decreased, and I feel much more stable and in control. That said, this only works if you put in the effort. I've been doing about an hour a day of the prescribed exercises, and that consistency is clearly driving the results. This isn't a passive treatment, they give you the tools, but you have to apply them. I appreciate that approach because it feels like a long-term solution rather than a temporary fix. I'll continue to update this review as I go through the program, especially once I complete the full treatment plan. So far, I've been very impressed and would definitely recommend The Movement Schopp if you're willing to put in the work.

I stayed on as a Medical Exercise client and now use the facility as my gym. I love that there is always a PT and exercise specialist during my visits, so I have no worry that I might injure myself again, plus the trainer will work with me anytime I feel like pushing myself.

This was my first time doing physical therapy, and I was repeatedly charged a flat $100 per visit, presented as a co-pay. It turns out my insurance didn't require a co-pay or co-insurance at all for these services. The only reason I discovered I was being overcharged--by about 40% per visit--is because my insurance mailed me a physical Explanation of Benefits (EOB). If I hadn't received that document and taken the time to dig through it and call Blue Shield multiple times, I truly don't believe I would've gotten my money back. When I asked for an explanation from the billing department, they told me it was a clinic billing practice. From there, I spent hours trying to get to the bottom of the billing issue. Christine at the front desk told me to "call my insurance" because thats what they told her. When I initiated a 3 way call between my insurance and her, she was unprofessional and dismissive--so much so that I was nearly in tears during the conversation. Everyone I spoke to at Peak pointed the finger at someone else, and no one took responsibility. The red flags here are lack of transparency, poor communication, and what feels like a billing system that preys on patients not closely watching their statements. If you're not prepared to advocate hard for yourself, I'd strongly recommend going elsewhere.
