First off, know that if I could give ten stars for South Mountain Physical Therapy I would. I had…read morebeen suffering from shoulder pain in both shoulders for well over a year. Several visits to well known orthopedic group in the Reading Area did nothing to relieve the pain. All I got from them was always wanting to stick a steroid shot in me and send me on my way. Was told to continue with the exercises that I came up with on my own and I would be fine in a few weeks. Well guess what, not the case. After a few months I INSISTED on an MRI and reluctantly, the doctor ordered it. When I went in for my appointment to see what the MRI showed I did not even get to see the Dr I had been seeing but was handed off to a physician's assistant. He shows me the MRI and he shows me what he called a slight tear in a tendon in the rotator cuff. He stated that he could schedule surgery today and then I would have to through a 6 to 8 month recovery period. He also stated that if I chose, I could try physical therapy for 6 weeks and if that was successful I could avoid the surgery. Of course I chose the physical therapy route. I go to check out and the receptionist stated that the soonest that they could get me in was over two weeks away. What was I gonna do? I scheduled the appointment. A day or two later and I was telling one of my friends what I was going through and how I had to wait over two weeks to get into therapy. He said "Look, you need to call South Mountain, they are absolutely the best!" The next morning I called South Mountain and one of the therapists (Kai) answered and I briefly explained what I was going through. He told me that he felt they could help me. I said, OK, how soon can you get me in. He said "Gary, if one of us has to come early or stay late, we will see you today or tomorrow". Wow, impressive. He said he would have Darien give me a call as soon as she got in and get me scheduled. Darien called as promised and I was set up for a next day appt with Dan. Not only did Darien show true compassion to my situation she also straightened out all of the insurance issues involved. Next day I go in and meet Dan. It was only about 15 minutes into the appointment and Dan tells me that he does not think any of my pain is coming from that tendon tear. At the end of my appt Dan states that he is 85% sure I have something known as Frozen Shoulder (in both shoulders) and that he can get me back to normal through physical therapy. Fast forward six weeks. After going to therapy 2-3 times a week and a lot of hard work on my own at home on off days I am at approximately 95% back to normal. Dan told me to continue with my at home exercises and within a few weeks I should be back to 100% normal. I went from constant pain and very little movement in both arms to just about full movement and NO PAIN! On the last day I was there I asked Dan what his final conclusion was and he stated again that I had frozen shoulder. Now keep in mind, I had 5 or 6 visits with that well known orthopedic group and not once was Frozen Shoulder mentioned. And also don't forget, they were so ready to schedule a rotator cuff surgery that would require 6 to 8 months of recovery time and that wasn't even what was causing my pain! Just a few short weeks of physical therapy and I am fixed. No more pain, back on the golf course, just about 100% movement back. I just wander why didn't they order physical therapy in June of 2020 when I had my first visit? Hmmmmmmmm,,,,,,,, I honestly feel blessed to come across South Mountain Physical Therapy. They gave me my life back. Not only was Dan an awesome therapist to work with, EVERYBODY at the facility that I had direct contact with was as well. That includes Darrien and Christine at the front desk (BTW, Thanks Christine for sending me to Penske for the auto repair, they did a great job!), Kai, Kathleen, Matt and Madison. Everybody there shows that they really care. Believe it or not, it came to the point where I actually enjoyed going to PT! Yes, that's right, I enjoyed PT. :-) In closing, I will say this. Believe me when I say, if you ever need to see a physical therapist, South Mountain is the place to go! You will not be sorry. Thanks again everybody, you are all very much appreciated.

Dorel is a magician. My wife and I met him at the Griffith Park Half Marathon back in 2015 - while…read morehe only gave us a 5 minute demo stretch, his work lasted all 13 miles and made a lasting impression on us. Fast forward to this past November when I injured my IT band: During a back-to-back 10k / half race series, I pushed myself a bit too hard; combined with the abnormally cold weather and steep incline grades, I strained my left IT band with significant pain in my lower calf, knee and mid thigh. After confirming the injury with my doctor (who did nothing but recommend resting and vitamin d), I took the next 3 weeks off - just working out my upper body and using the stupid hand cycle to keep up my cardio. This was extremely inopportune timing as we had another race series in January. After the 3 week hiatus, I tried to run again, albeit slowly and was only able to complete 6 miles. Now in panic mode, due to the upcoming 51.7 mile race series, I found Dorel's business card and gave him a call. He immediately fit me into his schedule and we planned to meet the next day. After ONE, one hour session, I could already feel my tight IT band relaxing. He used a variety of techniques targeting my IT trigger point and managed to work out the injured muscle and tendons. While it was grueling at times, it was 1,000% worth it to fix this injury. Dorel also gave me a sheet on stretches, recommendations for the week leading up to the races and his personal cell phone number in case I had any issues or questions. As you can see from my attached image, my wife and I were able to run all 51.7 miles. I had ZERO pain in my leg or knee. Truthfully, I was a bit skeptical about my recovery - having taken 3 weeks to rest / stretch my leg and then only able to run 6 miles - I couldn't fathom how an hour of massage therapy could get me race ready in less than 1 week. I am so thankful that we met Dorel - these 5 races would NOT have happened without him. If you have any injury, I cannot recommend him enough!!
