Loyola Physical Therapy

May 2023

Dr. Loyola is one of the best, if not THE best, physical therapist I've ever had the pleasure of working with. In the years before my hip replacement surgery, he worked with me on exercises that alleviated my pain and strengthened the various related muscles. He suggested something as simple as that I wear a heel support on that side, and it made a huge difference to my (pre-replacement) pain level. Then, more recently, I had an unexplained tendonitis or muscle twinge in a part of my ankle coming and going for several weeks. When I finally went to see Carlos, he applied some heat, and then some cold pack, and he manipulated it some -- and it all went away, like magic! That was three weeks ago, and its all gone. He's incredibly talented, and knowledgeable, explaining what the bodily connections are and the reasons for his manipulations or treatments. And he's humble and sincere. Highly recommend him.

I went to see Carlos because I tore my Achilles tendon. And I'm grateful that I chose him as my therapist. Every single session was different, and he was very communicative. He wanted me to understand how the process of healing works, and he also warned me that it wouldn't be pleasant sometimes, but he explained me always very well, and even though there were some painful moments, the truth is that my injury with each session got better and better. He also manages to make sessions entertaining. For some people his place won't look very appealing or professional, but do not be fooled by the appearances. Is not the typical clinic with sophisticated machinery, looks like and old apartment from Williamsburg, and he works with his hands and simple gadgets. Carlos is kind, patience and says things straightforward, which I thing is also important when it comes to overcome an important injury like mine. P.S. For those who english is not their first language, and they struggle sometimes to explain or understand things in that language, Carlos can also speak fluent spanish.

I have had 2 other Physical Therapists on my road to recovery over the past year; one was $500 an hour and the other was $450 an hour and Carlos, at $150 an hour, was far better then either of them. He was very comprehensive and thorough in his initial intake ($250 for the intake). He explained the physical components of my condition and has incorporated a combination of core work, balance work and Medical Massage that has greatly improved my overall condition. In addition, Carlos is a very empathic and caring individual and this, to me, is a critical component of any healing process. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone seeking a great Physical Therapist
