I have been going here for approximately 4 months after back surgery. Nick and his staff are wonderful. Especially my therapist Chris Patrick. Chris worked with me one on one to help me achieve my goal of walking without assistance. Chris is very knowledgeable and a great guy. I would highly recommend this place to anyone needing physical therapy. They treat you like family. I will always go here for any future physical therapy needs.

Really grateful to Michael and the whole team at PTSMC Shelton--they've been skilled, professional, encouraging, welcoming, and kind, and are already helping me feel a lot better. Scheduling is a breeze, and Michael really focuses on how I'm feeling and what's holding me back. My only regret is that I didn't come in sooner!

I am so pleased with Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine. When I first arrived, I was struggling to walk through the pain in my knee. After three weeks, I am now able to walk comfortably. Nick is extremely knowledgeable and motivating.

This was my first physical therapy experience and it was absolutely fantastic! Mike focused on listening to what was important to me and helped me reached my goal in a short time. He gave me a variety of exercises and tracked my progress. I am on my way to doing the things I enjoy again, and I could not be happier! I highly recommend Mike and the team. Everyone is so welcoming, friendly and work very well together.

I did NOT want to get PT for my arthritic hip but everyone told me I should so, ok ok I’m going already! And I’m SO glad I did. In just the first session, Mike worked wonders on my hip and I came away walking better and feeling better than I have in weeks! Now I’m looking forward to continued therapy and full recovery. This place is modern, clean, bright and cheerful. Every staff member I interacted with was professional and friendly. Highly recommend this Shelton facility.

Excellent experience. Made major progress in just 3 weeks. Chris was very supportive and encouraged me to challenge myself to get to the next level. I’m back on the tennis and Pickleball court 6 weeks after hip replacement surgery.

As a patient of PTSMC I genuinely feel cared for here. I've been a patient at CT Orthopedic down the street and I didn't feel valued or cared for there and almost lost sight of why PT is important. The difference is night and day!Everyone at PTSMC has been great; Chris, my PT, is especially exceptional! He checks in, he guides, he confirms. It's excellent. He's even helping me regain more motion in my foot for which I did PT at CT Ortho post surgery where they consistently dropped the ball - I caution you to visit CT Ortho on Bridgeport Ave.With Chris I've gained almost full range of motion back from a broken shoulder and it's been just about a month or two here at PTSMCI will be recommending the office to everyone I know that is in need of PT. Thank you for everything you do!

If you’re looking for a physical therapy place, look no further than PTSMC in Shelton. I came here twice a week for about 5 months (November 2021-March 2022) for a knee injury. Nick and all of the other staff here (Kevin, Ken, and Dominique) are absolutely amazing. They are extremely friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable, and helpful. I started my PT journey worried that I wouldn’t feel like my normal self again, but after my first session Nick had put my mind at ease and after a few months I now feel fantastic again. Thanks to Nick and the entire team at PTSMC Shelton! You all are the best!

Nick and his staff are incredible! They are eager and willing to help anyway they can. I have had negative experiences with PT prior to coming here, but my time here has been amazing. They all genuinely want to help you be pain free and heal, and are extremely knowledgeable in how to get you to your goals. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Nick and his team are fantastic! Upbeat, kind, fun and they know their stuff. As painful as it was to start... I'm feeling better each visit. I hope I don't need them again, but if I do or anyone I know needs PT... this is the place to go!

PTSMC has been the best PT experience I have ever had. And yes, I have unfortunately had several past experiences at other places. The staff is personable, encouraging, and informative. I have learned so much about my injury and how to help myself to recover. This is an inspirational group that helps with your physical and mental well-being.

Dr. Nick Almonte did an AMAZING job on me today. He worked on my elbows with dry needling and on my back. He was very thorough, and gave me a variety of exercises, and a link to videos to show me how to do them. He was extremely knowledgeable, and a great physical therapist. I would definitely refer him highly. 5 stars!
Matt Lavallee

Nick is the absolute best. He is knowledgeable, friendly, and takes the time to explain things in detail to you. Each session, he explains the science behind the symptoms I have been experiencing and also explains exactly what the exercises we do will help with and how. It is definitely reassuring having this explained to me. While I am not better yet, I have made great progress so far and that is 100% because of Nick. I could not have asked for a better physical therapist
Trevor O'Brien
Trevor O'Brien
Extremely personable staff, very knowledgeable and helpful. Constant vigilance while doing exercises, which is something that's lacked at other PT clinics I've been to. You know they are watching/helping you through the entire session. Would recommend to anyone in need of a PT, no questions asked.

First time going to this location. I used to go to the Orange location (which is also incredible) but this location works with my schedule better. Conveniently located off of route 8, plenty of parking but best of all is Nick! He is absolutely amazing!It took me around 15 years to go to physical therapy for a snow boarding related injury. I did not believe in it, but the pain was making it nearly impossible to get out of bed in the morning without holding my head and neck with both hands. I was also getting horrible headaches.Nick has worked with me on and off for about 5 years now and he is extremely dedicated and knowledgeable about many aspects of physical therapy. He loves what he does and he isn't happy unless you are getting better. It's amazing what life without physical pain feels like!

Why choose PTSMC?

Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine Centers has achieved a reputation as a leader in healthcare in Connecticut, improving the quality of life for our patients, returning them to work, athletics and the lifestyle they enjoyed prior to pain injury or surgery.

PTSMC offers physical therapy services specializing in musculoskeletal, orthopedic and sports-related injuries. Our physical therapists focus on the individual needs of each patient and develop customized, tailored treatment programs that are the safest, most efficient routes to fast recovery.

1-on-1 assessments, hands-on care, cutting-edge techniques.

All PTSMC clinicians provide hands-on care to their patients. Listening and careful evaluation of each patient’s needs are vital to our patient-centered care model. Spending time with patients throughout the cycle of care, from initial evaluation to discharge, ensures complete satisfaction and successful out­comes. Patient education about injury, treatment and recovery is valued and stressed throughout the rehabilitation. PTSMC clinicians use a combination of expert hands-on care with cutting-edge techniques and equipment to provide world-class treatment to each patient based on their individual deficits, needs and goals.

What do we treat?

Physical therapy is not just an effective way to rehab severe injury or immobility – it’s the go-to healthcare option for anyone dealing with sudden or recurring muscle or joint pain. This includes people of all ages and abilities with sports injuries, back or neck pain, vertigo or balance issues, TMJ jaw pain and headaches, arthritis, knee pain, foot and ankle pain, pre and post-natal issues, post-operative needs, fitness needs, or simply muscle or joint pain that keeps you up all night or keeps you from doing what you love during the day.

NO DOCTOR REFERRAL NEEDED!

With CT’s “Direct Access” laws, most individuals can see a physical therapist without a doctor’s referral. This means you can save time and money by skipping the physician and instead scheduling an appointment with the muscle and joint experts who can assess your issue, identify the root cause of the pain, and create a customized program to get you moving and feeling good again.
