I've been seeing Kerry as a massage therapist for a long time; she has always been great. She opened her own Sports institute a while ago and guys it's amazing! Not only does she have up to date training and recovery equipment, they are INVESTED in you and your goals! I'm training for a half and have been laid up with shin splints. I was going to drop out, but thought I'd reach out to Kerry. Now I'm on a running plan, a stretching plan, a biking plan....all the plans. Guys, I am now commuting to see her from Everett because I love her so much! Today she emailed me to check in! Check them! Go to their website! Can't say enough good things!

I went to see Mark Jamantoc and I couldn't recommend him enough! The healing program was transparent, easy to understand, and I was able to start running again after only a month of PT. Now, 6 months after "graduating" PT, I was able to race my 25k with 5,000ft elevation gain with no calf or achilles issues! It's not just about healing but he took the time to make me understand the ongoing workouts I needed to stay injury free. It wasn't just about me going to get finished with PT but it was about getting me back to where I needed to be as an athlete. I would recommend this place to anyone!

They provided by far the best service we have ever experienced at this tournament, which has been held for 20 years all over the country.

'Don' was referred here by his doctor for treatment on his feet to help with severe dystonia that causes severe pain and that making it hard to even walk. His first visit was hopeful as his PT let him know he would be able to help and the first thing they would do is fit him for much needed orthotics. Next visit, PT gave him temporary orthotics and asked him to come back the next morning to receive the new ones that were being made. Next visit, examined his feet, applying pressure at specific areas that were supposed to relax his dystonic feet. When the PT was unsuccessful, he told Don that it was impossible that his feet continued to cramp and thought he was faking it. He then told him he would not be receiving orthotics because the temporary ones had not been as effective as he thought, stating, "There's no way I'm approving these to your insurance as I don't see them medically necessary." As he checked out they gave him a pamphlet on where to buy special orthotics on Amazon. He checked the website and these special orthotics don't even come out on the market for another 5 years. I will spare you the rest of this experience, including voicemails, etc., and Don's refusal to go back. Someone dealing with a neurological disorder that is physically debilitating and misunderstood disorder has a hard time with the social consequences everyday. If you don't have a clue what you are doing, don't blame your patient for your lack of understanding. It can have lasting effects on someone that isn't given a lot of hope.

Steve and Brendan both did a great job of giving me the proper exercise regimen and training to remedy my neck and shoulder pain. They provided the exercises and performance feedback during the session, and clear written instructions for me to follow at home. I followed their suggestions and after a little over a month I can truthfully say that I can't remember the last time I was able to move my neck and head so easily. I also now have the knowledge to allow me to perhaps avoid future issues. Easy, efficient scheduling and a well maintained and clean facility rounded out the experience. I am pain free now, and greatly appreciate the methods and kind manner of the folks at Capstone Physical Therapy in Fairhaven. I highly recommend them.

Ed's combination of attention to the way the whole body moves in relation to the injury, his skilled bodywork, and the exercises he assigns, plus his fantastic sense of humor, are a great combination. I highly recommend him. And if you aren't able to see him in person, his YouTube channel is great and he offers online visits as well.

This shouldn't be happening! I've just retuned from my 3rd session with Seth and my back pain is nearly gone. Seth's holistic approach to PT is unlike anyone's I've seen. He's got a Ph. D (he actually is a Dr. of PT). He is the kind of health care practitioner you want. He's informative. He explains everything he's doing and why you're in the condition you're in to begin with. He's like a chiropractor, massage therapist, personal trainer and PT in one. After my first session with Seth, I cancelled 3 booked appointments with my original therapist. So whether you're suffering from an injury currently, want to prevent one, or just want to be sure you're keeping your "machine" working, make an appointment with Seth today. You won't regret it. His site is easy to book an appointment online. He does 60 minute sessions. Just book it. You'll be glad you did. And no, I'm not Seth's Mom or some other paid shill, I'm just a very happy customer who wants to see professionals like Seth be able to help as many people as he can. It truly seems to be what he was born for!

I was constantly in pain and wasn't sure if I would be able to squat again. I do Crossfit (don't judge me). I met Alex a couple of weeks after my trip and he figured out that it was an irritated hamstring that was pinching my sciatica nerve. He was very upfront about it taking probably 6 weeks to get better and he didn't try to push a lot of appointments on me. I've seen Physical Therapists before where they try to get you in multiple times a week, every week for months. I personally can't afford that, plus it seems like over kill. I like that Alex gave me my exercises and scheduled me out 2 weeks. That way it gives your body time to strengthen and heal from the exercises he gives you. I'm at the 5 week mark and I'm able to do 95% of everything I use to do. My knee still gets a little angry at very bent angles, but it's so close to being healed and way better than it was 5 weeks ago. I highly recommend Onward, their online scheduling is really easy and their space is beautiful.

Dr. Alex Benitez provided a clear, informative, and entertaining presentation addressing the most common problem runners face. He described simple steps that all runners can apply to reduce the frequency and severity of patella femoral pain. The presentation included slow-mo gait analysis video with live on-screen mark-ups showing common misalignment, crossover, and heal-striking problems and how to correct these issues. The clinic included revealing audience participation exercises (I need to work on quad strength!) and plenty of time for Q&A and discussion. Any Bellingham-area runners who did not attend today's clinic should look for future opportunities to join this free clinic if Onward Bellingham offers it again.
