Sports Medicine in Cherry Hill

“Was recently diagnosed with a trigger finger more likely from hyper extended gripping in my band exercises and possibly the standard grips that came with new golf clubs this past year did not help the circumstances. Anyway, connected with 3D PT for occupational therapy at the Cherry Hill location.

Little background, I first connected with this organization in 2023 for lumbar spinal stenosis whereby my therapist, Alyssa McMinn at the West Berlin center provided a series of rehabilitative treatment, deep understanding of my condition and more important an ongoing maintenance program. My condition had sidelined me from Golf for a 14 month period. With a lot of diligent work effort, I was able to avoid back surgery and more importantly was able to log over 100 rounds of golf in 2025 season. Alyssa reaches out every so often to just say HI and get an update to my progress. Luckily, I have not had any recurring issues whereby I give full credit to her and her team at 3D PT.

With those great results, my first call was to Alyssa as to her professional advice as to who would be best to treat my Trigger Finger. She stated that is definitely a condition treated through occupational therapy and more important a certified hand specialist. With that stated, I was connected immediately to Sasha Thomas Johnson in the Cherry Hill office who was able to get me in for an evaluation that same day.

Sasha and her team performed a through evaluation to include a physical exam, history and lifestyle along with initiating exercises as part of my treatment plan. The good thing is that I made the right choice to seek care versus rather than trying to rehab myself. She stated the hand dynamics are extremely complicated whereby a customized rehab plan is best to gain full functionality. Because I am an avid golfer, she also made recommendations as to proper grip size along with appropriate exercise techniques.

I am entering into my 3rd week with great progress. The pain level was decreased immediately, the triggering of the finger has lessened and more importantly they have provided invaluable knowledge and understanding.

In closing, 3D PT is a top notch rehab organization loaded with a very skilled team of Therapy professionals. Their support staff and admin personnel are equally competent with a passion for service and patient satisfaction.

In the last 40 years, I happen to understand the medical eco system as I was an ambulatory healthcare entrepreneur who not only set up companies happen to be a patient utilizing rehab services from all the major therapy networks. Like Pat Croce did back in the day, the owners of 3D PT recognize that the SECRET SAUCE are the employees that take great pride in their craft, focused on achieving positive patient outcomes and as an added benefit are stewards within the community.

Give them a try on your next rehab visit. I guarantee you that they will treat you like family. Tell them the “Golf Father” recommended you.“

“Dr. Dean is great. He knew exactly where my problem area was, he was gentle with the adjustments, and made me feel like new! I highly recommend Dr. Dean!!“

“This is by far the best physical therapy clinic in the area.
I’m a physical person, a fitness and functional health coach who needs to be able to move, not just for fun but for my job as well. I’ve dealt with hip impingement (had a surgery that needed a 9month rehab), shoulder pain, back and wrist pain.
I’ve worked with Steve, Akil, Zach, Ryan, their pelvic floor specialist Evie. All of them have been super knowledgeable, patient, capable and willing to explain, excellent at coming up with and following a treatment plan.
When my son who’s aspiring to play football in college injured his shoulder, I brought him to the Training Room because I trust nobody else to rehab him more than them. I did that even though they didn’t take his insurance at the time and we had to pay out of pocket.
All of the girls at the front desk are helpful and friendly. They will remember you, you’re not just a nameless patient to them.
If you’re injured and need a PT, the Training Room Cherry Hill is the place to be.“

“Excellent advice on the first visit. Tailored PT Program to remedy my problems. Definitely recommend them!“
