    Wholistic Physical Therapy - Owner: Scott van Niekerk PT

    Scott seems to be a kind and compassionate man, and I had high hopes for my treatment at Wholistic…read more I had to find a new PT since mine of many years no longer took my insurance, and since she was a manual PT and did some myofascial release work, I thought Scott's practice would be a good fit. My first visit was pleasant and reassuring; in the evaluation I explained that I had fibromyalgia and had undergone cervical spine surgery and was very reactive, so caution was needed. On my second visit, Scott spent a lot of time on my neck. Apparently he did something to a cervical disc (two other PTs have since explained to me how this happened). By the time I got home I was in severe pain that only got worse over the next several days. I saw my internist who immediately knew I had a pinched nerve and sent me for an MRI that confirmed a bulging disc and nerve compression. Eight weeks on (and after a ruined, agonizing trip to Europe), I am waiting for a cortisone injection and hoping desperately to avoid surgery. The office called me a while back to see why I hadn't returned and I explained. I haven't received any followup call or apology -- it seems fear of lawsuits rules. I don't even know what to say as a warning; I'm sure the damage was unintentional, but it's done, and it's probably permanent. Just -- be careful, I guess.

    Wholistic Physical Therapy- A Beautifully orchestrated practice of Wellness, you have finally…read morearrived at a space where you "WILL" be Healed.  Upon your arrival,  attune yourself to the High Vibration of Healing. You are welcomed with a warm smile and soft voices. If you are lucky enough, Sage will even come over to greet you (yes, there is even an animal healer available). Now relax on the comfortable sofa, as you listen to the music of soft Native American flute playing in the background. Smell the essential oil aroma wafting through the air. Have a cup of tea. BREATHE. When you are finally delivered to your room, it will be clean and comfortable and you will be treated with the utmost of compassion and care.  As your treatment begins, you will be listened to intently, touched with gentle hands, and may even break down "sobbing in tears" as long held emotional trauma lodged deeply into your tissue is finally released. Notice how this "Intuitive" practitioner  is "breathing through your pain" - to help clear it. Relax.  You will be reminded throughout your session, that this is a "Safe Space " that you may be free to "Let Go" of anything which you are holding onto causing you pain. At times, the release of trigger points can be painful- just breathe into the pain and allow it to FLOW.  At the end of your session, you will be allowed time to relax - enveloped in the luxury of moist heat packs or infrared light therapy. You will NOT be rushed. You are always advised that you may rest longer - if need be.  Here, at Wholistic Physical Therapy- your Healing is truly HONORED.  As a Center of Whole Body Wellness, Scott and his Expert team are FULLY INVESTED in your Healing -  as you have noticed above, Scott uses various tools, appealing to "all of the senses." Gently  rolled  into your protocol will be the importance of diet, movement, mind awareness, breathing and exercises to perform at home. Allow yourself to experience the gifts of each and every practitioner here. There is a great deal to learn from them.  On your way out, check out the "Learning Library." It is important for us to be "pro-active" in our healing. Knowledge is POWER!  In addition, Scott has taken the time to explain in great measure the Magic of "Myofascial Massage" on his website. Make sure you check it out.  At the end of your first session, and for that matter every session thereafter, you will "drift" out of this "Sacred Space" knowing:  THE UNIVERSE has answered my call; HEAVEN has DELIVERED an "EARTH ANGEL"

    Like all rehab centers, careful and thorough investigation is necessary…read more Of course, sometimes this can't be done. Putnam is a mixed bag. Mostly good people who care, but not all. Use whatever resources you can muster. There is an ongoing process of profits v. patient care.

    In April 2026 I visited my 93 year old mother who was sent to Putnam Ridge to recover after a bad…read morefall. She was in the acute care part of the facility (Birch Unit) for nearly two and a half months. I visited nearly every day for 2 months from 2 to 6 hours a day. There were a few very good staff there including the head of nursing and a couple of her nurses (not the one who didn't give meds in a timely manner - instead of morning meds they came during lunch one day and after PT another day), a couple of aides for whom I am extremely grateful (not the ones who scrolled on their phones all the time ignoring the needs of the residents), physical therapists who tried to figure out how my mom could return to doing the things she was no longer able to do, the concierge, the social worker. The reason I give this facility a very low evaluation score is because the owner wanted every bed to be filled yet there were severe staffing issues, patients were put into Birch Unit that should not have been there and made living there (and visiting there) a true nightmare for residents and loved ones visiting, aides were so rough with my mom that they left bruises on her arms, aides would not help my mom clean up in a timely manner (one day it took 40 min for the aide to help my mom get in and out of the bathroom). The light went out in the bathroom of my Mom's room and her roommate asked to get it fixed. I came in a few hours later and nothing had been done. It was not safe without a light. I found someone who called it in and eventually (4 hours later) a light was attached to the mirror so there could be light. When I wanted to talk to the staff that mans the Birch unit desk, they don't stop chatting, turn to me and smile (I know i ask a lot!!) and ask me what i need. I was holding the yellow form from my mom's cardiologist visit that I had been told to return to them and tried to get their attention. They were just chatting. The incompetent staff wore me down. It really bothered me that residents are coughing and sneezing at lunch. They should be kept in their room. I wear a mask at lunch (I don't eat, i just help her). But she doesn't wear a mask! Residents who are in wheelchairs and can't get to the bathroom on their own need to press the call button to get an aide to help them. However, if the aide does not come in a timely manner, the resident has no option but to urinate in the diapers they have them in. And then label them incontinent. This has serious consequences with regard to not being able to get into assisted living facilities. I and others have pushed the call button and no one answers - no one for hours until you go to the desk and demand they do something. I knew who was the head of nursing and I would go to her directly. She was wonderful and got the job done and truly cared for the residents there. The kitchen staff did not take care to include what was on the meal slip even if the items were highlighted (for instance, one resident didn't want vinegar based Italian dressing and yet it was brought to her nevertheless!). Over the course of the 2 months I would be there at lunch the food did improve somewhat because everyone was complaining about how dry it was (overcooked) and tasteless. Some people couldn't eat it at all and their family would bring food in for them. The concierge would advocate for the residents and I was very grateful for her. I had a hard time myself listening to residents yelling many hours in a day; the aides would ignore them because most of the time they were "crying wolf" but this should not be happening in a facility whose goal is to help residents recover. When I looked at my Mom's medicare supplement statement for her first month at Putnam Ridge I was shocked at how many different doctors were claiming they visited my mom. I never once saw the doctor on site visit my mom. One day I tried to talk to him during my visit but he evaded me. The medicare document said there were up to 3 doctor visits a week. My mother wants me to add that the staff did not encourage or support any dental hygiene. Resident advocacy is essential for proper and reasonable care at this facility. Don't assume your loved one is being cared for properly. Make sure they are getting their appropriate medications in a timely manner. One resident had to reschedule her surgery a week later because a nurse gave her medication that was not allowed for the days ahead of her surgery. I thought the activities team did a good job engaging the residents. The highlight of my visits was watching birds in a bird nest outside the Great Room - building the nest, laying the eggs, caring for the babies.
