Everyone I've recommended to this Physical Therapy place has stayed with them and my Physical…read moreTherapist, Jen Ashman. She is just that good! As a result of being a former & current athlete I have had more than my share of injuries (my ankle has been reconstructed twice), my cranial spine is a mess from surviving being rear-ended while stopped at red traffic lights twice, and 4 years ago a black ice fall left me still recovering from a TBI... as a result I've worked with several physical therapists from all over the Farmington Valley and West Hartford. I had two other PTs that were of this high caliber, but I truly feel like I hit the jackpot when I started seeing Jen last year (she's even better than they were)! It's true, Jen is one of 3 specialists I work with to try to heal my vision and upper spine issues. But since adding her to my team I was able to give up the biannual nerve blocks to my greater & lessor occipital nerves I've been getting for at least 10 years. I was due in September (it's January 2023 now), and I haven't had to use my neck brace at-all. I've also been able to reduce my pain medication use significantly. I *never* thought my neck would improve, but it has (thanks too in part to Dr Mike Koster of Koster Family Chiropractic in Avon, and Alanna Heaney of Inner Balance & Wellness in Bloomfield working with Jen; these 3 make an incredible team)! Jen is super nice and professional, utilizes many different office tools and always knows the right exercises and stretches to help. She starts by massaging/pressing out some of my most painful knots (it's the best part of my week! Lol); it hurts while feeling good, just like touching a bruise. Jen always uses the right amount of pressure every time. After that I'm loose enough for whatever she has in store for me next. We just re-started dry needling.. while it's not my favorite thing, it's incredible how well it breaks up those deep knots we've all had for years! Earlier in our professional relationship I was a good candidate for a planters fasciitis surgery, but Jen found I had a big knot deep in the sole of my foot (why didn't the podiatry specialist see it on the X-ray?). Thankfully she was successful is healing my foot! My 4-5 mile daily walks are so much more enjoyable now! If you read this Jen, I think about how grateful I am almost every walk. Jen has helped me with balance and core strength too. The exercises she's teaches me, enable me to help myself during the week when I'm on my own. Everyone who works at PTSMC is extremely nice, and they all work so well together. I'll take some pictures the next time I'm there!

How lucky I was to chose Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine Centers at 44 Dale Rd in Avon,CT' . I never thought I would have full use of my arm again, and although the PT Therapists insist I did it, putting in the hard work I disagree. They worked miracles, They understand how the body is built for all the parts to work together.They tailor an exercise program to work the muscles you will need to strengthen your muscles etc,. Before PT I was in constant pain for months unable to do basic care. Now I have full range of motion and am pain, free I did not dare hope it would be possible., but Kristen developed a plan that worked.

I had had cancerous lymph nodes removed from my left groin area and as a result of losing the lymph nodes, had developed Lymphedema. Glen is a certified specialist in Lymphatic massage, which was the treatment I needed to help alleviate the sweeping and the pain. HE WAS AMAZING!! Extremely knowledgeable (he has a million degrees including Doctor of Physical Therapy) and is studying for more. His deep understanding of my condition, how the body works and how to administer the best therapy (and give me my at home work to do as well) literally made the difference between my having this condition - painful Lymphedema - for life, or gradually subsiding. My therapy concluded once it was at the stage it would remain at (with continued at home care) which was 90% better than when I first walked into the Rehab center. Everyone at the center was welcoming and professional. Greeted you by name the minute you walked in the door. Much more personal than some of the other rehab centers I have gone to. All have been good, but these folks had more of a personal interest in my as a patient than I have experiences before. And when you are hurting - that extra care goes a long way. I am so glad Ivy moved into the Valley! I hope I don't need PT for anything for a while now, but should I need it, it would definitely be back to Ivy and Glen.

I have had many years of physical therapy with different groups and therapists. This place is the…read morebest and Dominic, my PT is the greatest. Last year I went to a different group where I rarely had the same therapist. I was in a large room with no privacy and often left without guidance or attention. This does not happen with Dominic. Because of insurance I had not seen him for many years. It got to the point where I didn't care if I had to pay out of pocket so I returned to the group and Physical Therapist who had helped me after several surgeries. At this place you get care from the same person each time so you don't have to explain what is going on with a new person all the time. There are public and private rooms which makes the experience more comfortable. Dominic knows what he is doing. I don't feel like he is giving me a cookie cutter plan. He really listens. He has been able to help me figure out where some really awful pain was originating from and addressing it properly. He watches and is attentive for each session as opposed to other places where a therapist had more than one patient at a time and often didn't remember what you were supposed to be there for. I am so lucky to be back in his care. My pain level has significantly decreased and I am able to increase and resume activities I thought might be lost to me forever. I am also grateful that they are now taking my insurance plan. I don't worry that I may actually get injured by my physical therapy as had happened several times in the past with other places. It is so nice to trust the person you are working with. This is the first time in many years that I have hope for leading a less painful life and resuming things that broke my heart to give up. If you are looking for a great physical therapist and place I recommend it highly.
