What patients say

All reviews

“I have struggled with knee pain for nearly two years, and was fairly resigned to that being my “new normal.” Orthopedic surgeons said that I would just need to deal with the pain until it got bad enough to have a knee replacement. Jay and Adam totally changed that course for me. My knee feels great, pain free and strong, and I am educated on what to do if it flares up! Worth every penny!!”

“During my ACL recovery, Adam was my saving grace. … Adam is meticulous and pays close attention to help you get back to 100%. He took the time to explain to me exactly what was going on at each phase and was beyond encouraging and supportive. I can not recommend Adam enough!”

“The care here is unlike anything I’ve experienced at a traditional PT clinic… I came in dealing with knee issues and rather than simply managing my pain in isolation, they kept me active and functional throughout the entire process. My movement improved, my strength continued to build, and before long I was completely pain free and hitting new personal records under the bar.”

“I was referred to Jay for chronic knee pain and before my sessions were complete, my knees felt so much better and my legs stronger. What I appreciate so much about his process is that he doesn’t just want to fix your ailment, he wants to strengthen your body.”

Questions

Common questions

All questions Pricing and insurance
Should I stop running if my knee hurts?

Not always. We often adjust your volume and add strength work so you can keep running while it improves.

How do I know when I’m ready to return to sport after ACL surgery?

We use objective strength and force plate testing, not just time since surgery, to clear you.

Can physical therapy help hip or knee arthritis?

Yes. Strength training is one of the most effective treatments for arthritis pain and function.
