I went to Missing Link Physical Therapy because I am migraine sufferer and have chronic head, neck and shoulder pain. I often put off going to see Dr. Andre Heletsi because MY work schedule was so packed. The pain in my neck area had gotten so bad that over Thanksgiving I had to do something. I was grateful that Dr. Andre was available on Friday morning after Thanksgiving and he was able to see me and work on my neck and shoulder areas. The experience of going to MLPT is like no other. First you have a physical therapist in Andre who not only is a master at what he does but from the moment you walk in you feel so welcome! He greets you with a smile that immediately lets you know he is there to help you through whatever is ailing you. Anyone who meets Andre can tell that he cares deeply for the well being and comfort of his patients and that he loves his job. He is the consummate professional. His joy of life and helping people shines through at his practice. I am so thankful that he was able to get my neck and shoulder feeling right again! I was able to leave that one session with more mobility in both areas than when I walked in. He went over exercises that I could do at home and since Friday I have continued them! For those experiencing any pain, his hands will work their magic! He is SO knowledgeable about his craft and it's amazing to watch him work. He is also wonderful to talk to! When Missing Link Physical Therapy says they are there for your Mind, Body and Soul it is 100% true. Dr. Andre stimulates your mind through great conversation, heals your body of its aches and pains, and warms your soul with his wonderful demeanor and genuine zest for what he does. If you are suffering from chronic pain, don't put it off any longer- go in and see Dr. Andre Heletsi, because your mind, body and soul will thank you for it! read more

Andre is one of my favorite people in the world! As an ultra-marathoner my body gets very beat up. I've been to Missing Link for two injuries this past year and I will never go anywhere else to get treated because Andre is the best! I went to see Andre for a hip injury 4 weeks before I was set to run the Boston Marathon. I was thinking there would be no way I could run the race with my current amount of pain, but after 3 sessions with Andre I was able to complete the race with almost no hip pain! From his first assessment of every injury he explains everything from why the pain is present and how to treat it. It really helps me to understand what is going on with my body, how each body part is connected and how to prevent another injury in that area again. I am currently seeing him for foot pain (again before a big race, hah). I went to the orthopedists before seeing Andre to rule out any sort of fracture. The doctor told me no fracture was present, but they wanted me to be in walking boot! I immediately called Andre and made an appointment to see if he could help. After 2 sessions I am running 20 miles virtually foot pain free. No walking boot needed here! Suffering from any injury or set back can be quite depressing, but I start to feel positive from the moment I walk into Missing Link. The atmosphere that Andre creates through his positive attitude and expertise is exactly what I need to get my mind in the right place to help me get through the injury. He understands that getting back to running is the most important thing and does everything he can to help! Thank you Andre for everything that you do!! read more

What a relief! Literally! I finally have found MY missing link! I started going to various doctors years ago to get relief from my chronic back pain. I would go in and see the doctor and have some pain free moments until later that evening when the pain set back in. It was frustrating and I wondered if this was to be my life- I am 45. I first met Andre Heletsi several years ago when I was representing him with his home purchase. He is a wonderful human being and began talking with me about my back. Another year or so passed and I was still going to my other doctor; all the while not getting any better. I decided I needed to pay a visit to Andre! After going to him one time I felt relief that lasted longer than a day. I play softball and I was able to run the bases now, where before I would call in a runner. I went to see him again and after every visit I felt better and better. When I say that I had chronic back pain, it was ALL THE TIME. I now have pain free days and weeks. It keeps getting better! I just returned from a vacation to Florida. We drove! I had no pain after a 13 hour car ride. If that doesn't speak volumes to the amazing affect of Missing Link PT I don't think anything could. I always have great experiences with the staff, the therapy, and most of all with the "doctor" himself! He is always there to give encouragement when things hurt a little and he has the best sense of humor and "bedside manner". If you have pain that doesn't seem to ever go away, I whole heartedly advise that you pay a visit to Andre and see if he and Missing Link PT might be YOUR missing link also. read more

If I could give more than 5 stars as a rating, then I would :) I went to him upon the recommendation of others who had gone to him, and he had helped them with problems on wrists and hands. I had injured my left wrist on a Friday evening. No broken bones, but by Sunday my wrist would no longer flex at all. So on Tuesday morning (it was Memorial Day weekend) I called his office. He fit me into his schedule the same day. He worked on my wrist, and did an amazing evaluation, he said my muscles had decided to lock up and he could point to where, higher up my forearm where it also hurt where the muscle attached. Let me emphasize, my wrist had locked to the point I could not bend it in any direction. He was able to work on the muscle(s) right then and there, and at the end of the session (only about 15 min) I could bend and flex my wrist ! He showed me how to massage the muscle at home. I only did it for the next day because my wrist feels great and the problem has not come back. I have to mention the price. He was so affordable. I had concerns about insurance, and I live on a budget. He truly worked with me because he wants people to live life better. I was worried about the price, but I would advise you to simply make the appointment, hear what he has to say (because I was impressed) then I decided to work with him, and he really helped me out on the price. Thank you again to Dr. Andre! read more

Imagine a place where the needs of the patient is truly the core focus. A place where a highly trained physical therapist is committed to addressing your physical needs. At Missing Link Physical Therapy that is just what you get! I have received treatment at this center that proves that they live the mission of devotion to the community. The physical therapist is solely focused on you. The therapist is not spending his time between you and two other patients. At Missing Link Physical Therapy, they do not double and triple book patients like at other offices nor do they limit your time to 30 minutes of treatment. At Missing Link, the therapist does not rush treatment and the treatment is adjusted as necessary to resolve the physical issues. I presented at Missing Link Physical Therapy with four chronic conditions. The physical therapist spent time listening, taking detailed notes on my concerns and spent time developing a plan for addressing each one. The plan involved a combination of manual manipulation, electric nerve stimulation, deep tissue dry needling, stretches and exercises. I can see and feel the results of this plan and do not dread my sessions. The center is clean, comfortable, and inviting. Missing Link Physical Therapy is the only place I will go for my physical therapy needs. read more

I had the privilege of being one of PT Kur Sohn's students while I was in PT school. Kur is a unique PT in that he will not only treat your current symptoms but he will also correct your poor body mechanics/habits to prevent further injury. He spends one on one time with all of his patients and stays current with all of the new research to ensure optimal patient care. Building on this, he uses trigger point dry needling which is cutting edge in the field of PT. Trigger point dry needling is a vital tool in PT and has become increasingly more popular because it provides pain relief and creates physiologic change. One specific example, a patient came in to see Kur after 40+ years of chronic neck pain and her symptoms were decreased within 3 sessions. He also has become very adept at proper bike fittings which are extremely beneficial for competitive bike riders and triathletes. He utilizes laser levels to correct body mechanics for optimal power production and injury prevention. I have personally seen the rapid improvements that patients have achieved under Kur's care and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone who is in acute or chronic pain. read more

My massage therapist recommended this practice and she has joined Dr. Andre & his team. This practice has something special...a team of people who work within their special areas and are passionate about helping others to feel well - improve their quality of life - performance abilities. They look at "the big picture" which is unique to most practices. For someone who has a variety of medical issues, this practice is exactly what I've been looking for. I see Lindsay for massage therapy. I've been working with her for many years and find that she gives the best deep tissue/lymphatic massages. She helped me as I recovered from chronic Lyme disease. I have been seeing Dr. Andre for chronic lower back pain. He is the first person who has been able to give me some relief! He's found that much of my pain is stemming from my hips actually - not from my lower back. No other doctor in 5+ years as figured that out....and I've been to a ton of them. I feel very comfortable recommending Dr. Heletsi and his team. They have caring/compassionate personalities and truly want to help you. I'm sure you will love them as much as I do! read more

Missing Link Physical Therapy is by far the best physical therapy business I have ever worked with. I have had several injuries in the past which have all resulted in physical therapy as treatment; however, I haven't seen any results at these other companies, even after 10+ visits. Of course, I'm sure we can all imagine how frustrating that is -- to not see any results with major injuries -- especially if you're an athlete training as seriously I have been. I am so glad Missing Link was recommended to me through family. Andre, the owner and head of the business, is the best physical therapist I've worked with. The therapy/training is not only effective but fun; you don't feel as if you're going through boot camp training, something I've felt while working with other physical therapists. After only being with Andre for 5-6 visits, I have never felt better about my injuries for they are actually healing, and I am actually seeing and feeling results. Missing Link Physical Therapy is THE place to go to. You get fantastic results quickly and the physical therapists are simply the best! I wish I could give them a hundred stars. read more

I went to Kur a few weeks ago for a bike fitting and I was really impressed with all the measurements and tools he used to fit me on my ride. During the session Kur hooks your bike up to a computrainer machine which varies the pedaling resistance and measures your pedal stroke, power, and efficiency. You then go through a series of pedaling drills to measure different aspects of your riding technique and position. It was interesting to see how my pedaling efficiency and power changed with each pedaling drill. He then gives you tips on how to improve your technique and you can immediately feel and see the difference on screen. Kur tweaked just about everything on my bike helping me improve my overall comfort and pedaling efficiency. Afterwards he had me do a few stretches and looked at areas of my body that I listed on my pre-fitting questionnaire as issues. He did a few PT tests and gave me a few exercises to help with muscle weaknesses. You definitely get way more than just a fitting with Kur. He is very thorough and points out things that a bike shop fitting would not because of his PT background. read more

Andre Heletsi is absolutely amazing! I can write a two page review detailing Andre's proficiency and commitment to excellence but I'm going to make it short and sweet. I have two athletic sons and as a result over the years we have been to multiple physical therapists. No other physical therapist's skills have even come close to Andre's ability for diagnosis, treatment and relentless commitment to restoration of his patient's health. My son went to him for a recurring back problem that he had been unsuccessfully treated for multiple times over the past six years by other physical therapists. Not only was Andre able to heal him in less than a month and a half, he also gave him the tools and skills he needs to prevent the back problem from coming back again. Andre helped us completely understand the source of the problem and actually went through all the exercises my son does at the gym and while playing sports and showed him the proper form and techniques to build his core and avoid future injury. Thanks to Andre, we finally feel like this back injury is behind us for good. read more

I saw Kur a little over a month ago for a bike fitting. Before the visit i had no idea the importance of a proper bike fit --- I bought my bike straight off the rack and just started riding. I never felt quite comfortable on long rides and over time I started to develop areas of tightness around my hip flexor, pain in my knees and issues with my calves cramping. I addressed these issues with Kur during my fit and he put me through a range of tests analyzing my pedal stroke, pedal efficiency, positioning, etc. After which, he made adjustments to my body / seat positioning and cleat placement on my shoes. He's an avid cyclist himself and his passion for it shows --- he really knows his stuff, coupled with the fact that's he's a darn good physical therapist. He was able to address my tight spots and prescribed a stretching regimen. I have been pain-free since my bike fit and have been enjoying cycling more than ever! read more

I have been hearing wonderful things about Andre for a while and today I can testify that they are all true. I visited Missing Link Physical Therapy for a shoulder injury that I have had for a while. Andre did a thorough diagnostic to understand the source of the injury. According to the results I was experiencing with his hand-on treatment, he continued to work on the areas surrounding the injury and worked on them until he was sure that it was having a positive impact. He was persistent and made sure that I did not leave his office until I the pain in my shoulder pain was relieved but he did so in a caring and compassionate way. He sent me home with a series of exercises I have to work on before seeing him in a week. His staff is welcoming and friendly, another positive aspect about Missing Link Physical Therapy. I highly recommend Andre and his team!!!! read more

I originally came to Missing Link because they offer physical therapy at a very good price for someone who isn't having his treatments fully covered by insurance anymore. In addition, unlike other places, the physical therapists here are fully focused on you and aren't forced to split their attention between several patients at a time. The dry needling treatments here are very effective, and the physical therapist that I've been working with listens to me and makes adjustments when it seems that treatments aren't working as well as they should. The real reason why I have to give Missing Link five stars though is because this is the place that finally found the source of the chronic paint that I've been dealing with for over a year. I'm on the path to recovery now, and this definitely is the first place I will recommend for people who need physical therapy. read more

I've been having elbow pain on and off for almost 8 months and it got to the point where I couldn't lift weights and play sports. As an athlete it was hard to perform my best due to having this strong pain, I couldn't do certain exercises for my training to get better. So I went to see Kur Sohn and he put me through standard protocols and had me fill out basic forms and asked me basic questions. Long story short, it's been almost 2 months since I've seen him and I have little to no pain on my elbows. Kur got me right. He did everything he could to get me better from treating me, recommending me with PT exercises, and getting me a good recommendation on a brace to prevent from further injuries. Kur knows his stuff and he makes sure you're taken care of. He has a passion to help others and it shows it by his follow ups after my session with him. read more

I was tired a lot of the time. I had back and knee pain. i was at a meeting, I met Andre, he introduce himself as a physical therapist. He said "you know it really doesn't have to be like that you can feel better." He encouraged me to come by his office for an exam, and he would come up with a plan to alleviate my problems. I told him I'd heard it all before but I'd at least give him a try. I went to the office, had a comprehensive exam. I was surprised that he could pin point my problem areas before I told him what they were. He said if I agreed to a four week program he was certain he could help. I agree. well its only been 3 weeks I feel great I didn't think it could happen but it has. I'm walking better, sitting better, and sleeping a whole lot better. Thanks Dr. Andre for your help in returning me to a pain free life! read more

I had fractured my ankle back in November 2014. After healing the doctor felt I was walking fine and didn't need physical therapy, but I was continuing to have stiffness and unable to have full range of motion in my left foot/ankle. I went to see Andre, and after the first treatment, my range was so improved and less pain when walking. When he assessed me and talking to me about my accident, he checked my back to see if there was stiffness there. Apparently an adjustment and massage was needed, because after that my ankle was not stiff. My feeling is that Missing Link looks at the overall physicality and not just the area of injury. I would highly recommend if you are having joint difficulties, back problems, that you at least go for an assessment and hear what Andre Heletsi has to say. In two visits, I am a new person! read more

Can't recommend these guys more highly. The owner / head of PT, Andre, and his team are amazing. I've seen Andre for a shoulder and knee injury on the stellar recommendation of my daughter who saw him for hip / knee issue. Pros: - He fixes problem without putting you on a never ending regime of 100 visits. He did more to fix my issues in 3 visits than others have done in 6 months. - Amazing gift to diagnose the root of the problem. - Personal hands-on treatment that does not feel like he's moving cattle thru a chute but cares about the individual. - Can go on. Cons: - Does not take insurance so have to file myself. But have decided it well worth it to get things fixed right the first time. Can't recommend highly enough! Would give 6 stars if I could. read more

We followed Andre to Missing Link Physical Therapy after having worked with him previously. He has been AMAZING with my daughter - a dancer who has broken her foot twice in 6 months. After a thorough evaluation when we started at Missing Link, my daughter started working with Cynthia on correcting the movement issues they identified through movement training and pilates. Cynthia has been FABULOUS with my daughter whose technique has noticeably improved through this work. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and very caring and nurturing and the office is comfortable and welcoming. We can't say enough good things about Missing Link Physical Therapy ... I recommend them to everyone and can't imagine going anywhere else. read more

For the past 3 months I've been dealing with neck nerve compression and complex migraines. Dr. Andre Heletsi listened intently to my medical history related to my symptoms. He conducted a thorough examination and started and initial treatment. Explained his methodology, what I would feel during treatment and what I would feel like over the couple of days. What I truly appreciate is his understanding that when it comes to healthcare it's not one size fits! Everyone's body response to the treatment and care is different. I'm only day two post treatment, I can significantly feel a weight lift off my shoulders and back. My migraine pain has decreased. Let me extend an extraordinary Thank you Dr. Heletsi! read more
