I couldn't imagine a better experience. The team has gone above and beyond to help me get back on my feet, and explain my injury and treatment in a way I understood (something my doctors have failed to do!) I came to Silver Strand after a vehicle accident that left me with lingering neck/back problems that never seemed to go away! My program was tailored to my needs and even helped address other residual issues that I did not originally come in for. Not only is the staff personable, knowledge and professional, but they genuinely care about your recovery process. I had to miss an appointment when I was out of town on business and my therapist actually took the time to send me a video demonstrating exercises that I could do at home/on the road in order to continue my progress! I can't imagine finding that level of service anywhere else. I'm on my way to running again, something that was unimaginable a few weeks earlier without me wincing or having to stop frequently and limp back home in pain. This is by far the best physical therapy clinic I have been to and I am ACTUALLY seeing results! Thanks to the therapists at Silver Strand for all the laughs, and all the encouragement. read more

I began my journey at Silver Strand Physical Therapy back in December of 2020 due to lower back pain. My therapy continued until March of 2021 because I had fallen and injured my left knee so I also required therapy to treat the knee injury. I've had physical therapy in the past. What sets the therapists and staff apart at Silver Strand Physical Therapy is that they not only work hard to treat your condition but they also take the time to educate you. My therapist, Dr. Naureen Imam, PT, DPT not only treated my injuries but educated me in how the body heals itself and why allowing the body to heal on its own isn't always the best way to approach a physical problem and that with the help of proper exercise and therapy, many goals can be achieved. Caring, compassion and a genuine desire to help sets them apart from the rest. This is a place where the entire staff gets involved and makes you feel like family. They support and encourage you every step of the way. If you're in need of Physical Therapy to treat your injuries then see the folks at Silver Strand Physical Therapy. I'm very happy with everything they have done for me and I think you will too. read more

Dr. Hannanvash is one-in-a-million and has been an invaluable Doctor and friend. I cannot emphasis enough, his dedication to practice, impeccable knowledge, personal attention to clients and incredible zest for life. His remarkable attention to detail and meticulous adherence to the high level of training and excellence enable him to adapt to any physical challenges his patients may encounter. As a former pro-athlete who was broken and almost unrepairable; Navid breathed new life into my physical and mental rehab, helping me come out of injury stronger than I ever was before! His expertise, leadership and passion for an active life style prove instrumental to the success of his business. He makes an unparalleled positive impact in the lives of all people, inspires them to excel at the highest level, and is a patriot to everything that is good in this world! read more

One of my biggest pet peeves is when I go to a Physical Therapist or Doctor and their only recommendation is that I "rest". Being active is part of my life and my happiness...so although I am injured, I don't want to lose that. I am SO glad, therefore, that I found Dr. Hannanvash and Silver Strand. He took so much time to identify my injuries, decrease my daily pain, and he even sat down and educated me on new ways to be active....pain free. While he is extremely knowledgeable in his profession, I am most grateful for his genuine care for me and my lifestyle. I would recommend Silver Strand to everyone and am now Dr. Hannanvash's biggest fan. read more

Overall, I had an excellent experience. The therapist spent considerably more time than I have ever had with a physical therapist. The main problem was with my ankle, but we were also able to address some more minor aches and pains. The rehab exercises are different, but I've noticed significant improvements in just several weeks. The owner (David?), I believe, even followed up with a phone call to provide even more exercises that I could do to help with injury prevention. I've even scheduled an appointment for my grandmother who recently had her left hip replaced. read more
