SportsCentric helped me literally get back on my two feet. The team of Physical Therapist are professional, familiar with the latest research and extremely compassionate.
A huge shout out to Fara for meeting me where I was during each stage of recovery and for going over the exercises patiently. In addition to the in person support, there is an online program that is shared for home exercises with images and a description.
I highly recommend SportsCentric to anyone looking for a one on one personalize experience to get back to activities, sport and better shape.
Compared to many other PT experiences I’ve had, this place is light years beyond. My particular therapist, Fara, provides in depth analysis, evaluation, and treatment of the many issues I have seen her for. She is incredibly bright and knowledgeable and her approach is to understand the cause(s) of the particular problem and address that as well as treatment providing more immediate relief.
I have heard that Derek and the rest of the team there are also terrific.
This is the place to go if you are serious about your treatment!
I’d been dealing with a stubborn knee issue for months and was getting really frustrated that I couldn’t lift normally or run. Working with Derek completely changed that and I’m finally back to doing both pain-free.
Derek’s approach is methodical and organized, and I really appreciated how he tracked progress session to session. He’s knowledgeable, takes the time to explain what’s going on, and makes the whole process enjoyable. I also really liked that every session was directly with him and not an aide or assistant which made it feel like a premium experience.
Highly recommend SportsCentric (and Derek in particular) if you want a smart, professional,...read full review
