One from the doctor after the surgery and another one to pick up the patient.

RE: Olivia Perry, PA. I was extremely disappointed with my visit with Olivia Perry, PA. In my…read moreexperience, there was essentially no meaningful physical assessment of my hip pain. Her response was basically, "You have hip pain? I'll order an MRI." She asked where my pain was, and when I pointed to the area, she tapped it with her index finger. That was the extent of the physical examination--and even that occurred only after I specifically asked whether she was going to examine me. As a retired Nurse Practitioner, I found this particularly concerning. I actually had to explain to her how to perform an appropriate assessment of hip pain and asked whether she was going to perform certain examination maneuvers used to help identify the source of hip pain. Her response was, "They didn't teach me that in school." I was stunned. A patient should not have to prompt a medical provider to perform a physical examination, and certainly should not have to teach the provider how to assess the condition for which the patient is being seen. Ordering an MRI is not a substitute for a competent history and physical examination. She also never called me with the MRI report. Luckily, I had the report and images and knew what to do. Based on my experience, I had no confidence whatsoever in the quality of the clinical assessment I received and would not recommend this provider.

There are two locations in Providence. My experience was with the 285 Governor St location. There is a huge parking lot and is easy to navigate to when there is no construction. A few times, there was construction and Governor street was blocked so I had to go around it. It was easy to make an appointment. I first came for a consult and then made a plan with Shemaiah on how I can improve. The appointments were scheduled for a few months at a time. After the sessions, I definitely felt my progress improving. Shemaiah is personable and really friendly. She wants to see you improve and will work with you to obtain your goals. Their billing is done by a third party and after calling Elite Physical Therapy and their billing office multiple times, I finally got my patient refund after 4 months of waiting. I am not sure why it took them so long to process the refund and when I asked, they had no answer. Other than the patient refund issue, the space is clean and spacious. After a few months of therapy, my ankle was a lot better and I was able to walk normally.

My physician recommended that I go to Silk Physical Therapy rather than a chiropractor for my…read morerecurring back pain. Her experience was that Alan Silk and his team would provide me with progressive exercises to not only solve my back issues but that the exercises would also provide me with an on-going means of maintaining a healthy back without requiring continuing office visits as would be the case with a chiropractor. Over the course of a few months of visits, Silk Physical Therapy made my back problems go away completely and my back has been fine ever since. They also helped me with some other minor nagging injury problems. Alan, Kim, and Matt were great therapists to work with and Caitlin (not sure of spelling!) was courteous and professional managing the office. I highly recommend Silk Physical Therapy.

I have suffered with chronic pain with a variety of causes (including scoliosis, knee and ankle…read moreinjuries, foot surgeries) for most of my adult life and as a result have sought relief from a number of practitioners - from chiropractors to massage therapists to physical therapists to private yoga instructors, you name it, I've probably tried it - over the last 15 years. Some have helped more than others, but none ever seemed to really help me address the root cause of the chronic pain. I first saw Greg about 3 years ago for my first experience with rolfing (a traditional "10-series"). Greg is a master at his craft, and his disarming personality and gentle energy set me at ease within the first few minutes of our first session. I felt like I was learning to use my body more efficiently and with less pain and fewer restrictions after each session - the changes/ improvements seemed miraculous. Time (and bad habits/ bad posture) takes it's toll and after the last 3 years I was feeling physically broken again. Since those first 10 sessions, I've learned so much more about my body and how to take better care of it and move it with more intention, but I wasn't able to reach my new goals without help. I knew that I needed to get back to Greg, this time with a much clearer idea of what "self-care" really means. Over the last few months Greg has been working with me, really listening to me and helping me unravel some of the patterns of movement and posture that have been causing me pain. For the first several weeks, our sessions were really focused on helping me regain proper functional movement - his patience and sense of humor were so helpful especially when I was feeling frustrated with my body. Each week he would email me videos of the exercises we worked on during our session so I could continue the work at home. I love having those to refer back to! We are now about halfway through another 10-series and again I'm feeling like little miracles are happening with each session. Greg's work has truly been one of the most effective and beneficial things I've found to address my decades-old body issues. I can't recommend him highly enough.

No joke: Greg Knight changed my life. Going for a trial session with him after receiving a glowing…read morerecommendation from a friend turned out to be one of the best decisions I have ever made. So, if you are looking for a Rolfer, if you are new to Rolfing and want to see what all of the hullabaloo is about, OR if you have no idea what Rolfing is -- go see Greg. I say this with passionate resolve and without reservation. Yes, the name Rolfing sounds weird, but I guess if your name is Ida Rolf and you develop your own form of structural alignment therapy, you are gonna want it to bear your last name. Hence Rolfing. (No, silly, not ROFLing!) Ahem. As I said, Rolfing is structural alignment therapy that focuses on the manipulation of your fascia to get your body back to healthy. A session looks like physical therapy and massage had a bodywork baby. Anyhoo, I am a dancer and have been dancing since the tender age of three. As a dancer, my body has gotten into certain habits that were great for my beat-up young dancer body, but not great to sustain a healthy aging body. I had pain in my lower back, veritably zero motion in my hips, and my weight was unevenly distributed over my toes causing problems in my legs and knees. Enter Greg. After a series of ten hour-long treatments, not only did my body feel looser, stronger, more able to adapt to its environment - but I could visibly see the results. It was truly amazing. Now, I go every month or so for upkeep. Because Rolfing is such an intimate therapy (yes, you do have to be in your skivvies), I found Greg to be a perfect presence. He's super chill without being distant and is just dorky and self-effacing enough to put me at ease. Yes, some of my sessions are emotional and challenging because Rolfing literally undoes years of 'doing' that is encoded my muscles, bones, and fascia - but again, Greg handles my opposition with gentle persistence. Any discomfort is totally worth it, though, as I always leave feeling taller, lighter, more lithe, and more connected to my body. Greg is the man. Do not let the price of each session dissuade you. Give him a call, chat with him, and try a trial session. I found the money spent to be totally worth it, and I made sacrifices to be able to afford it. Bonus: If you have a Health Savings Account, that money can be spent on Rolfing.
