I have had four joint replacements with Physical Therapy each time. SOL has been head and shoulders above all. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They are helpful, encouraging, taskmasters[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . I have greatly improved and I owe it to Summer and Jordan. I'm 76 years old and I hate most physical activity. I am actually Practicing!!! You cannot go wrong with choice. read more

I can't express how grateful I am to have had physical therapy here! I was skeptical at first because of previous experiences at other physical therapy practices but from my first appointment I knew I was in excellent hands! I started physical therapy before my surgery and all of the help that I received, prepared me for moving in and out of bed after surgery, walking and going up and down stairs on crutches. The help I received has contributed to my full recovery. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was under the care of Racquel and Nick, initially. When they were not available, I worked with James and Murphy![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There were so many good times and laughs![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The best physical therapy experience I have ever had! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The office experience I received was excellent! Gabe is thee best![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was easy to get a hold of and communicate with the office.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I always received excellent customer service![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I highly recommend them! read more

I can't speak highly enough about SOL physical therapy. I've had some leg problems due to some nerve and back problems. I worked mostly with Nick who was a true detective in trying to find the origin and the answer to my issues. He isolated areas of pain and weakness and prescribed exercises to improve both. After several months I can say that I feel significant improvement. Nick is extremely knowledgeable and dedicated to his work. It seems like all the people at SOL are dedicated and talented. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Gabe at the front desk was really helpful in scheduling and moving around appointments.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I also worked with Raquel who was another very talented physical therapist. All of the doctors I spoke to also had a high opinion of SOL. I share their recommendation. read more

I was evaluated by Nick and I am being treated by him and Whitney. Both have helped me so much. Nick keeps me on track with strength exercises, is very encouraging, and is a calming presence. Whitney is so knowledgeable about stretching and engaging correct muscles and we've had some great conversations as well. Highly recommend -- scheduling is great and I really like the team-based approach to care. Super nice clinicians and staff. Excellent!!! read more

In answer to the Yelp question. . . everything went very well! The three physical therapists I had were wonderfully knowledgeable, respectful, and supportive. Thank you Nick, Murphy and JP. Gabe at the front desk is so great; his upbeat friendly manner plus his flexibility and patience in scheduling is remarkable. I think he and the front desk staff play a hugely positive role in the success of SOL Montclair. read more

I am deeply thankful for the training I received from James and Whitney that has helped me recover from back surgery. I think I am recovering much more vigorously than I think I would have without their help to develop the strength needed to pull myself through this. I am forever grateful!!! And for Gabe, at the front desk, the scheduling and billing is totally in the hands of a master! Thank you to all!!! read more

SOL Physical Therapy is amazing! I came with a referral for pain in my hip and lower back. After scheduling my initial evaluation, I was seen by Murphy who worked on helping my stretch and optimize exercises for my tight piriformis. We worked through the entire session and also had some soft tissue work and stretches. The center is bright and open, clean, and everyone is so friendly. Gabe is the manager of the location and runs such a tight ship while also being so welcoming and accommodating for my schedule. I just wrapped up 6 sessions and know that if I ever had another need for PT, I wouldn't hesitate to return to Sol. High quality staff and therapists in an easy to access location (free parking!). read more

I was referred to SOL from my doctor for my "frozen shoulder" (Yes, it's a thing.) As soon as I entered, I was greeted by a friendly receptionist Gabe, and heard lots of easy laughter and chitchat. James, a sweet, easy going therapist, gave me a thorough assessment, did soft tissue work, and instructed me with appropriate exercises. He and Raquel, a fun and charming therapist who has THE best hands for tissue work (my shoulder melts as soon as she touches!), have really helped me with the excruciating pain that I was experiencing. They also have such relaxed, friendly conversations with you during sessions, that I always find myself leaving with a smile. I have been going for about 3 months, and the shoulder is SO much better! read more

I highly recommend this place for physical therapy. Staff is conscientious and professional. I started PT eight weeks ago, and I am in much better condition than I was when I walked in the place. James and Murphy are absolute pros. I have exercises and a movement plan that will help me the rest of my life. Thanks you! read more

Excellent therapists. They explain why you are doing a specific exercise so you understand the benefit. It is well organized and easy to make appointments. The facility is nice and bright. read more

SOL Montclair is an excellent place to rehabilitate your body. Everyone works there is nice and professional. I had a pleasure learning from Nick who was my PT. He listens and takes time to teach and explain. And I am very grateful for Gabe, who manages the front desk. He always greet with smile, accommodate scheduling needs, and communicate clearly. Having great PTs attract clients of course, but business will not run without a responsible and caring front desk manager like Gabe. Thank you!! read more

I've been going to SOL Montclair since mid-November for treatment of "frozen shoulder". I've been working with Nick, and have been extremely pleased with the way that he is taking care of me. He is friendly and easy to work with, and is genuinely concerned about my progress. Since Japanese is my native language, he has even made the effort to learn some Japanese during our sessions, which is very sweet. It's also a pleasure to be welcomed into the office each time by Gabe, who is friendly and efficient, and very helpful in arranging appointments. I would highly recommend SOL Montclair to anyone in need of physical therapy. read more

Just want to update to say SOL Physical Therapy responded to my review on Yelp by saying they sent me a direct message and "want to make sure we connect"- they did not. It has been weeks now, I have received no "direct message" or return phone call. I am also surprised that their response implied that my requests for an appointment somehow slipped through the cracks, "if for any reason we have missed your request" I don't buy it. How do you miss multiple voicemails over weeks? How do you not call a patient to schedule physical therapy after you have received a referral from a Doctor? Even if you can't see the patient for weeks, or months. CALL THEM OR RESPOND OR ANSWER THE PHONE AND TELL THEM. The bottom line is, they don't answer the phone or return message. I find it offensive in a business where you are dealing with people IN PAIN. read more

Seeing JP Guzman (DPT) at SOL PT in Montclair has already made a big difference with my longterm knee issue. He is a careful listener, knows his stuff, and created an excellent ongoing treatment plan for me. The gym is clean, light, and well-organized, the staff is encouraging and non-judgmental. There are effective covid protocols in place. The office worked seamlessly with my medical provider and insurance company from Day 1. There is free and convenient parking in the lot in front of SOL PT. I highly recommend SOL PT in Montclair for people at any level of fitness and degree of injury or issue -- they will work with you to get you back on your feet and feeling confident in your body. read more

I've just finished my second stint of physical therapy at SOL, this time for back problems, last time recovering from a torn Achilles tendon. Both times the staff and the quality of service have been excellent. This time at the Montclair location I worked with Nick and Racquel. Both were extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. Dave at the front desk also was extremely helpful in booking appointments and checking me each time I arrived. read more

The Montclair Sol location is awesome! I was initially hesitant because it was not the flagship Piedmont location but I was assured they were all staffed with amazing therapists. JP is the clinical director and I'm amazed at his knowledge, patience, and skill given his young age. The support staff are also nice and the front desk staff, Gabe, is easy going and kind for all my scheduling/billing needs. The facility is clean and not cluttered. They have lots of PT gadgets that my previous PT place never introduced me too. Most important, my rehab is going in the right direction thanks to Sol Montclair's team effort. After your session, Montclair Village is right around the corner for all my coffee/snack/lunch needs. Parking lot is safe and break-ins are not an issue. read more

as a self proclaimed connoisseur of idiots I can with100% guarantee there isnt a single iota if idiot factor anywhere near Sol of Montclair! Whitney , James , with nick, chris and the amazing Gabe in support, these folks have guided me through and out of injury and pain several times. Their knowledge, aptitude , commitment, client focused care is second to none. I couldn't recommend them more! read more

I'm so happy I found SOL in Montclair. I worked with Nick, and he was just a lifesaver. He really listened to my issues, made very thoughtful suggestions for exercises, and was able to pivot immediately if something wasn't working for me. His clear instructions were easy to follow at home, and the program was effective and doable. He was also really encouraging and fun to work with! I'd highly recommend this office and Nick to anyone. read more

Nicholas Duenas gives me clear instructions verbally then provides easy to follow printed plans and notes; communicates clearly on why and how these treatments can be effective; and follow up with me at the office on my home treatments and the notes I share that I receive from my three orthopedic doctors (general, surgeon, & lumbar). Nick adapts our treatment plans accordingly. Nick builds rapport and trust with his sincere care, appropriate sense of humor, and guidances that include corrections. Nick's office staff supports us well, with professionalism and pleasantness. read more

What an excellent place to receive physical therapy! So well run and staffed with very knowledgeable and sensitive therapists. My therapists were both Nick and Racquel; I learned so much from both of them that, as of today, I have successfully avoided knee surgeries for my arthritic knees. I highly recommend both therapists. read more

SOL is the best! Specifically Montclair location. Gabe at the front desk is very helpful, professional and kind. Nick, physical therapist, is the best physical therapist I have ever had for all my very serious injuries. He listens, he is very knowledgeable and he cares! Everyone is professional and helpful. Location is very clean and well maintained. Highly recommend if you need help with your rehab goals. read more

I am currently being treated at SOL's Montclair location, and I am already quite satisfied with the results. Working with JP (DPT) and Racquel (PTA), I have benefited from their different approaches to my injury, leveraging ART (active release techniques) with and manual manipulation with Racquel. The clinic is bright and open, and both the patients and staff seem happy to be there. read more

I came to Sol with a few nagging injuries, unsure of whether PT would help. Roughly 2 months later, I'm much stronger than before and confident of how to manage the injuries going forward. Big thanks to Shaila and Nick! read more

If you are looking for an excellent, down-to-earth physical therapy place, look no further than Sol. I have been to a few physical therapists, so I know what I am talking about. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Gabe, at the front desk, is personable and knows each patient by name.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Nick and Racquel, the PTs, are knowledgeable and great at getting me back on track to recovery with my rotator cuff issues.

I have been to SOL PT in Montclair for two different injuries. I wouldn't go anywhere else!

JP, the manager, is extremely knowledgeable and an excellent mentor and manager. The environment is clean, professional and a fun.

I needed some care for a self inflicted back injury, and this place really helped me to recover in 6-8 weeks. Fun and friendly team at Montclair and easy to schedule and get to. Nicholas assessed my injury first, and we worked on a plan that included flexibility and strength, starting off simply then building confidence. The provided MedBridge app had helpful videos of my exercises to do at home. I liked particularly the occupational focus, how I would do my house and garden work with good posture. Many thanks! read more

AWESOME!!! THE BEST EVER! I highly recommend SOL PT in Montclair with no reservations. Over the years, I have had PT for multiple conditions, and my experience here exceeded all other physical therapy, practitioners, and practices that I have encountered. I come in with a background as a physician and trained yoga teacher, so my standards are quite high. At SOL, Everyone is extremely professional, very knowledgeable, and well trained. Every single physical therapist was attentive, kind and empathetic. They definitely developed a unique program, and changed it frequently as needed based on my progress. Also, if one therapist was not there, they had a team approach that worked extremely well. It never felt disjointed, it was always well Organized. I am very active, weight, lifting, doing yoga, skiing and other recreational sports, so I was a bit skeptical as to whether I would get bored, or that maybe I could do my own "program ". I was absolutely wrong about this! I progressed to almost full recovery, from a fracture at my humeral, head and neck, and partially torn rotator cuff in my dominant arm. In addition, they kept me interested, changed it up all the time, and gave me excellent instructions. The administrative help was impeccable. Scheduling and billing was seamless. The facility is clean, spacious, and well organized. There is plenty of parking as well. I recommend.SOL PT with absolutely no reservations. read more

Excellent, Knowledgeable, Compassionate Personable Staff. Extremely well-managed from appointment-making to hands-on care. Special shout-out out to J.P. Guzman who leads the site. I have 2 current PT cases and feel very good about my progress. read more

I've gotten really good care here. They are very professional, and don't work by rote--there is careful consideration of individual circumstances. I've really enjoyed working with Nick! read more

I have been treated by the people at SOL in Montclair for most of 2023 for both a hamstring and an ankle injury. Both James and Raquel are fantastic. both are very helpful with targeted exercises for specific injuries. I highly recommend them both. read more

Highly recommend this place! I've worked with JP and Raquel on my back issues, they are both very knowledgeable and I started feeling better quite fast. I am able to implement their exercises into my workout routine and would go back to their Montclair location in a heartbeat! read more

I had neck surgery with residual arm numbness and neck stiffness. I was reluctant about going to physical therapy because I thought I could just do it on my own. I found SOL physical therapy and from the friendly and very helpful receptionist Dave and others to the VERY PROFESSIONAL AND SKILLED THERAPIST they are the best! I feel like I have personal trainers. All of the Therapists are great especially JP and Raquel. They are great instructors and give rational for the various movements associated with the muscle groups. They also insure that you have the correct form etc. I've benefited from each visit. (Unrelated to my primary issues)I had shoulder pain for several months and I mentioned it to JP after just one session I had increased range of motion with very limited pain!!!! I'm so grateful I found SOL. If you have any musculoskeletal problems this is the place to go! I highly recommend them. They also work with my insurance and made very reasonable payment options. read more
