I've been going to the Halifax Bay State PT location for a few months now and can highly recommend their services. The facility itself is relatively new, clean, and well equipped for a variety of therapies. Owner Ryan Myers handled my "orientation visit" and I was pleased with the keen attention paid to my medical history (which lead to my current need for knee and leg therapy.) Copious note-taking was done (which is shared via computer file) and the subsequent PT session thereafter proved he was, indeed, a good listener: targeted limb manipulation identified my problem areas, and he outlined a personalized program of care to be referred to on future visits.
Be aware that you may be seen by a variety of therapists, not just one. I found this odd at first (prior PT sessions at other facilities had me always see the same therapist unless they were unavailable) but I've come to appreciate the differences in personality and technique each bring to a session. All have been intuitive in isolating and manipulating my stressed muscles and scar tissue, and I'm already standing straighter and walking better from their combined and gifted efforts.
Finally, another different feature for me was the free-for-all conversational atmosphere - it wasn't unwelcome, just unexpected. My prior PT experiences had each therapy table separated by a curtain, making the exchange between patient and therapist essentially one-on-one. No such divisions here: everybody talks to everybody, and sometimes, hilarity ensues! This place and its people have happy, positive energy, which I believe adds to the healing process and is another reason I highly recommend this location. read more
