Karen Gauvain

So pleased with the care I have received. Cody has really taken the time to listen to the issues I’m having and create a plan of healing that has been so beneficial. Everyone is so nice there, it’s very clean and I would recommend them highly.

Susanne Spear

I have used PT Select for a few years now. It is my go to place for physical therapy. I have always gotten the best therapist at the Avon site. I would never go anywhere else for therapy. 🙂

Carolyn Grady

It’s a very very open wide beautiful place. Awesome Physical Therapy all the staff is wonderful. They help each other out very very friendly and they take their time on you. They don’t rush. I would highly recommend Physical Therapy 44 Dale Rd. in Avon Connecticut. They’re the best from my experience I still go. I’m doing very very well thanks to them, my physical therapist is Nicole . She is so wonderful. I love her thank you Carolyn Grady.

Jose Santos

ken mcveigh

Love this place. The owner Tom K. is great and hands on. All the Staff and therapists are amazing, proficient and friendly. Great atmosphere including great conversation and a daily trivia challenge. Location has all the equipment, technology and space for recovery from minor pain to complex surgery rehabs. Massage, stretching, measuring, weight training, motion training, ice downs etc.I've had shoulder surgery and recently my 4th ACL knee reconstruction. So I’ve been to my fair share of rehab facilities. This place is top notch.

S K

From the front desk to the back. Exceptional service

Trel “Rated”

I experienced nothing short of professional excellence during an intense round of physical therapy at PTSMC.Laura is by far and away the best PT I’ve ever worked with—and sadly, since my soul’s love for outdoor adventure sports has not been historically empowered by my body’s suboptimal physical conditioning and clunky hand/eye coordination, the list that I’m judging Laura against, is quite lengthy…Laura has a great personality and genuinely cares for her clients, which makes the time fly.

Candy Price

Professional and caring. I highly recommend Keely Yarish. There is no cookie cutter treatment. It is designed specifically to your needs.

Jim Strange

Cody has done a wonderful job in helping me strengthen my right foot Achilles. He is very dedicated to his profession and takes his job seriously. Physical therapy is largely up to the patient to follow through on the exercises demonstrated during therapy. Cody inspires you to be conscientious about keeping up with those exercises for your own sake — but also You don’t want to let him down.

dave Bergen

Helped me dramatically Very concerned with yout success My Theropist is Cody Great person knowledgable caring and patient Can't say anything but praise for all Nice this day in age!

Renee Johnson

Tom and his staff are wonderful. They are knowledgeable and professional yet friendly and great listeners. I always feel great when I leave there. The physical therapy has done wonders for the torn rotator cuff in my shoulder. My arm is stronger and the pain has become bearable.

Tom Hinman

Great place to rehab!

E Bailey

PTSMC is the very best. Kind and caring staff, and great care. Highly reccomend.

Gillean Reinders

Matt did a great job of getting my knee back to normal. In addition to the manipulation and exercises done in PT, he sent me home with printouts so I could do the exercises in between sessions. Everyone at this practice is helpful and friendly

JoAnn Carson

I have been very happy with my experience at PTSMC. My physical therapist, Tom Kirsch, gives me individualized care every visit. He is knowledgeable. I have experienced improvement of my back pain over the past month. I feel confident that I will leave with an understanding of how to prevent and minimize future exacerbations of pain.

P siero

I have now recently completed a 6 week Physical Therapy treatment at PTSMC of Avon. Dr. Sean Nash's expertise and insightful PT regiment where skillfully developed to address my shoulder pain. I highly recommend both the facility and Dr. Nash to anyone seeking PT treatments.

Lauri L

Wonderful staff . Very easy to make appointments, they worked around my daughter’s schedule and we had no waiting time so we were able to be in and out.Keeley has been amazing with my daughter explaining her injury, how to properly do her exercises and made a great plan that she was able to stick with.

Tom Bloomer

Very knowledgeable, clean, and friendly.

Nancy L. Greco

Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine Centers of Avon is a newly renovated, wonderful space for physical therapy. From the second floor windows, trees and sky provide a very relaxing view, while the positive attitude of the staff creates a relaxing atmosphere within. My physical therapist Keely has a compassionate and professional manner. She takes the time to listen to my concerns and clearly explains each activity and how it will improve my strength and range of motion. Keely and her team are caring and friendly - keeping the spirit high and instilling confidence. Thank you, Keely - you’re the best!

Bridget

When I came to PT here, I was in pain. But not only in pain, I was a bit depressed thinking nothing will help. Thinking OMG I possibly never can hike, play tennis, go fishing, etc. anymore. The professionals,( my professional Shawn), was extremely kind and sympathetic as if he knew my situation. Over time he worked on all of my needs and I started to feel better, some relief at first. Then over time I became stronger. In conversations with him at times, he would say that my back was like a block of cement. Now look! My back is more flexible. I went from not being able to MOVE to lifting 45 pounds with no pain. I worked at it. I wanted to. And with the encouragement, coaching, understanding, kindness, fun, and utmost care from the staff to me, I was successful. Now I am going on to doing what they taught me at a gym. I will never forget my experience there. It changed my life.Bridget

heather neeley

I love this practice!! I've seen a lot of therapists in many different practices over the 20 years I've lived in CT. Everyone at this office from front desk to therapists to students are just so fantastic. They are friendly and actually make therapy fun! When I've had emergencies and need to reschedule appts. the front office is able to quickly get my appts rescheduled. I've worked with several therapists in this office for a variety of injuries...they are well trained in many techniques and practices. They are sensitive to their patients and work hands on to get you back to sport/regular routine. I am so grateful for the careful time and attention they give at each visit.

bonnie piccolo

Excellent care by knowledgeable people.

Lissie Brooks

I am just starting physical therapy here and I am very impressed. Very thorough evaluation and then appropriate exercises to follow. Excellent staff

jamie gerrits

So happy a fellow runner referred me to Matt. Easy to schedule appointments, no referral needed and was treated on my first appt. Thrilled to have found PT care to help keep me moving.

Paul Barrow

Positive and Beneficial: I have had a Super experience here. I was very, very skeptical about PT. Honestly, I still am but facts are facts and this treatment has made an enormous difference for me in a very beneficial way.Although at first very timid, I have been fortunate enough to experience needling and it works. The slightest discomfort during the process is well worth the relief, many times over. I can't get enough now and at first I was afraid.I also want to comment on the Team. It is so clear and so evident that the group working together is a cohesive, well tuned team that is very supportive not only of the patients but of each other. It is that camaraderie and team spirit that gives this group an advantage over others, in my opinion. I bet you agree if you go.

Philip Rockwell

Very impressed with everyone!My primary therapist, Keeley, has been wonderful!

Sam Coster

The whole team is wonderful and they know what they're doing. 10/10 would recommend.

Peter

I arrived at PTSMC with severe lower back pain. After 6 weeks of focused therapy and exercises my pain is greatly reduced and I am able to perform my daily tasks without limitations. I appreciate the care and attention I received from Kristin and would recommend her to others.

Ron S

I used PTSMC in Avon to recover from a total knee replacement. They are a very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable organization. I would highly recommend them. Special thanks to Tom who expertly guided me thru the TKR rehab to ensure I achieved the maximum functionality. I couldn't be happier.

Phillip Carter

They are good at adjusting the therapy session to what the patient needs ..to see they are progressing but not working at a pace that sets them back . They are conscious of the goals but aware that each person’s situation is a bit different therefore they take the individual ‘s age .. health … and capabilities into consideration …that they work with you .. not just on you !!

edward milikow

referred because of severe right hip pain and leg weakness. orthopedist diagnosed hip bursitisand referred for p.t.amazing improvement after six visits…originally i thought it was a disc but thankfully it was not..i’m over eighty years old and this is my first p.t. referral.i thank the orthopedist for his expertise and his referral to Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine of Avon.

Catherine Mendela

Best PT!! I've been to a few places and this one by far is the best! My PT is Matt and I can't say enough about him! He pays attention and listens to you. Because of him I'm almost pain free after a year of being in pain! and I've notice the other PT's are the same. Great place!

Patricia Holl

Matt was so helpful and knowledgeable. Such a friendly and welcoming environment!

Lauren Bonenfant

The therapists in Avon all pitch in to make sure you get the best results possible. Laura worked with me and the limited exercises that were possible due to other issues in order to work on deltoid tendinitis. Highly recommended.

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.
