I had surgery for a massively torn Rotator Cuff. I began physical therapy elsewhere. The treatment I received at the other facility was abysmal. The pain became markedly worse after each treatment from the first place I went, and the atmosphere was very unprofessional. After giving the other place 3 weeks I knew I had to get out of there. The pain was worse than the day I began with the other place. It's in the neighboring town, but I won't give the name. That's because North Shore P.T. is the ONLY name you'll need to remember.
I had received physical therapy for my lower back from Steve Sheridan, of North Shore Physical Therapy back in 2009. It was the ONLY TIME my chronic back pain benefited from due to the therapy I received with Steve. That was in Swampscott, and I did not remember the name of the facility and thus, didn't know where Steve had gone! By the grace of God I called N.S.P.T. and thought I'd go to their Marblehead facility. Instead, I chose the Salem location when I was given the address, as I live 7 minutes away by car. When I saw my therapist, and it was Steve Sheridan again, I thanked God. My shoulder pain was throbbing down into my elbow and even my wrist when I began and I had almost no range of motion. Steve was careful and took it slow. With his help my condition slowly began to improve. Today, after 2 and a half months of physical therapy following Steve's direction, I have achieved a range of motion in my right arm that is virtually equal to that of my other arm. There is still some pain and stiffness once in a while, but it is nothing that cannot be controlled until it passes. I have all of the tools I need to continue at home for the next few months in order to regain the strength that was zapped from months of inactivity after the injury and surgery.
All I can say is RUN (if you can)... don't walk to North Shore Physical Therapy! The experiences I had with Steve Sheridan both in 2009 and in 2015 have been really superb. The care I received was so terrific. He took in to account what I said and how I was feeling each and every visit. The level of courtesy and professionalism is unparallelled in comparison to other programs I have undergone, or places I have tried. Most of all, I got the results I hoped to reach. My condition was so bad off when I began treatment, but Steve always stayed positive and thus, I felt hopeful. I recommend N.S.P.T. with enthusiasm to anybody who wants to benefit from physical therapy. From the moment I called for an appointment, I knew I was in the RIGHT PLACE, and believe me, they are not ALL the same!! read more
