Michael P. was excellent to work with! He gave me great exercises to help me recover after knee surgery. It was challenging but at the same time he was kind and gentle and funny and friendly. I definitely recommend him and this PT office!

Caleb P

Had Tendinopathy in my knee after an injury which caused a lot of pain during my leg exercises and other physical activity. After a few months of Physical Therapy my knee pain has drastically reduced and I'm back to doing Front Squats, Lunges, and other physical activity with little to no pain. Thanks PTSMC 🏋‍♂️

Amanda Bedding

Having never completed physical therapy before, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was training for a half marathon and started to experience some hamstring pain and I was worried I wasn’t going to be able to run the race I had trained so hard for. With the help of Brian and the rest of the staff, I was able to run the half marathon and significantly improved my hamstring issues! The staff is extremely kind and welcoming. The facility is run very smoothly and has a wide range of different equipment that the therapists utilize. I couldn’t be happier with my decision to receive care here. I would highly recommend PTSMC of Glastonbury!

Caitlin Greene

Had a great experience with them after requiring PT from a fractured tibia. When I first came in I was fully dependent on a wheelchair. I had not been weight bearing for the past 2 months. By the end of the second week with them I was walking with a walker and able to do stairs. By the fourth week was walking just with a cane! Everyone there was kind, knowledgeable and easy to talk to. They pushed me just enough to see major progress each week, while making sure I was within my limits. I would definitely recommend Glastonbury PT and sports medicine center for those in need! Plus they are very close to the local Starbucks as an added benefit 🙂

Sherry LP

Recently received excellent care at the Glastonbury location. It was convenient to get to and the staff was friendly and efficient. I worked with Mike who was knowledgeable and very good at what he does. I would highly recommend this office and therapist. The best news is my back is feeling great!

Nancy Santos

Rebecca was my therapist, and did an excellent job addressing my issues with my neck and knee pain. She is a competent therapist who worked with me over the last few months to help my neck and knees become pain free and increased my strength. I have to say, the entire staff was very friendly and professional, and I highly recommend this Physical Therapy Center!

Aida Ortiz

Very good.

David Hines

After recurring low back muscle strains resulting in great pain, lack of mobility, missed work, and perhaps worst of all, the inability to play golf, I began working with PTSMC of Glastonbury. My muscle strains occurred for reasons as simple as bending over to pick up something as light as a feather, and were serious enough to even result in one short hospitalization.The assessment was thorough, giving the therapists a solid idea of what movements triggered my pain and a clear plan of treatment. Working with both Brian and Mike, I learned how to first of all relieve some of the pain with stretches and light exercises. We then began incorporating exercises that focused on strengthening muscles that I’d never before considered important to preventing low back pain, but soon learned to be vital to preventing future occurrences. I’m happy to say that I am now back in the gym doing exercises that I’ve not been able to do in several years, and am playing golf several times a week with no issues.The staff and all of the therapists are knowledgeable, welcoming, and truly celebrated my success, almost as much as I did myself.

Improvement 1st visit- Everyone Professional & friendly! Rebecca, F. PT, DPT Glastonbury, CT was awesome! Medical appts in general are an inconvenience to my busy schedule yet It was the only appt I looked forward to. It was like visiting with family that cured me. Thank you!

sut mickle

Brian’s assistance has been life changing. We worked on both back/neck and balance issues to my relief and so, joy (after years of pain and working with several other professionals). I find the PT exercises personalized (not ex. the standard back protocol). I drive nearly an hour to come to this practitioner when I could go as close as 5 min from my home. Yup, satisfied.

Stuart Morrison

I was lucky fortunate to have Rebecca assigned to me as my PT guru. Very pleasant and lovely young lady who every time I came in took wonderful care of me. I’m sorry I had to leave, but the number of visits came about the places extraordinarily nice. Everybody was friendly. Everything worked wonderfully and I enjoyed my 20 visits there. I’ve had plenty of physical therapy Sessions over the years And the sessions have been the best if you need PT this is the place to come Rebecca is a great asset to this company

Walter Twachtman

This was the absolute best physical therapy experience I’ve ever had. Brian Greer was extremely professional and concerned that I got the most out of this treatment opportunity. I would highly recommend PT&SM to anyone.

Chris Polzella

Exceptional from start to finish. From the front desk staff to the therapist, everyone is professional and excellent in all aspects of care. Very highly recommended!

Andrew Wayner

Brian helped resolve my injury very quickly. His evaluation was spot on and the exercises he had me do alleviated the pain and has kept me pain free since. I highly recommend Brian and this practice

Joseph laCombe jr

working with Mike Polozlizo has been great, sympathetic to my problem, and is on track to get me healthy again

Jason Shore

Brian was wonderful to work with and I highly recommend going there.

Amir pishavar

Entering Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine Centers Glastonbury, I immediately felt welcomed and at ease. Following shoulder surgery, I began my recovery journey with Brian, whose genuine concern and expertise made all the difference.What truly stands out about this center is their dedication to individualized care. Unlike other places where you might feel rushed, Brian took the time to understand my specific needs, guiding me through each step of my rehabilitation with patience and expertise.The atmosphere here is remarkable. The staff members are not only highly skilled professionals but also incredibly approachable and friendly. It's easy to strike up a conversation, making each visit feel comfortable and reassuring.Brian's detailed explanations of each procedure ensured I felt informed and empowered throughout my treatment. Returning for follow-up visits only reinforced my positive impressions, with the same consistent level of care and attention to detail.In conclusion, if you're seeking top-notch care in a warm and welcoming environment, Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine Centers Glastonbury is the place to go. Thank you for your exceptional service and unwavering dedication to patient care!

Doreen LeBel

PTSMC in Glastonbury provided me with superior treatment and a top notch professional, positive experience overall. Brian is a very knowledgeable clinician, and I would highly recommend him and his team to anyone looking for an excellent Physical Therapy experience.

Michael Krawczyk

Brian and the staff are great listeners. I was provided an understandable "game plan" that included work I do at home.Their individualized attention allowed me to recover well.

Deanna Cote

The physical therapists here are fantastic! I started coming after surgery to repair a foot fracture. They worked not only on me being able to walk again, but regaining strength and balance. They knew exactly how much to push me and took the time to listen to me when I told them something was hurting. I cannot recommend them enough!

doreen sturtevant

I never expected to have PT but this place is great..the staff is friendly and my PT Jillian, is sweet kind and patient ..this place deserves the 5 stars I gave it..

Empowered Studio

Mike was really great to work with in helping me rehab my lower back. The exercises he suggested in between our sessions were spot on. Mike abd all of the physical therapists seemed to genuinely care about their clients. Highly recommend!

X Li

I recently completed five weeks of physical therapy here under the guidance of Brian, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. This is my achilles tendon rupture recovery.Brian, the director and primary physical therapist, showcased not only exceptional expertise but also maintained a clean and professional environment at the clinic. The state-of-the-art equipment and the knowledgeable, friendly staff contributed to a positive and supportive atmosphere.In this short period, I've seen remarkable progress in my recovery, thanks to Brian's personalized and effective treatment plans. His attention to detail, depth of knowledge, and genuine care for patients make him an outstanding physical therapist.This place truly stands out as a beacon of excellence in the field, and I wholeheartedly recommend Brian and his team to anyone seeking top-notch physical therapy.

Robert Carraway

I had a great PT experience for a long standing shoulder injury. My personal therapist was knowledgeable, interactive and focused. After 10 weeks, I had made exceptional progress and left knowing I could continue the work at home. It was a pleasurable experience and well worth the time and effort.

MaryJoan Picone

Staff are professional and friendly.

Jason Marshall

Love the PTSMC team!

Meredith

Best physical therapy experience I have ever had. Comfortable, clean space and friendly knowledgeable staff.

Jason Archer

Absolutely amazing! The staff, particularly Brian, are wonderful. They treat you like family. It is very clear that they care about their patients. They are extremely knowledgeable, patient and attentive. I highly recommend them.

Alessandro Macchi

At the beginning of January, through the recommendation from a friend I came to see Brian as a broken runner. I had tried everything on my own to get healthy for two months but nothing was working. I told him I had one goal. Get healthy to run the Boston Marathon in April. I knew to do so I would have to be healthy by February so that there would be enough time to train. Brian worked around the clock with me and by February I was feeling 100% healthy. I was not only able to run the marathon but i also qualified to run it again next year. He made my experience such a positive one that I looked forward to showing up to every session. I would strongly recommend Brian and his staff at PTSM to anyone that is dealing with any injuries or is in need of any help.

Ben Stone

As a former college athlete and someone working in the medical field I have had a lot of experience with physical therapy and recovery techniques. I recently strained my trapezius muscle to the degree in which I was unable to perform simple day to day activities, nun the less continue my daily exercising routine. I called the Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine Center in Glastonbury and that same day they were able to get me an appointment. Everyone I spoke too was knowledgeable and listened to my concerns and after two 1 hour sessions I was back to my day to day activities and exercising routine. The service here was top notch, I have nothing bad to say about this office or its employees. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for relief from any pain or nagging injury. The staff is well equipped to handle any problem you may be facing. 10/10 score

Ugochukwu Nwokoma

At PTSMSC Glastonbury, the Patients are placed at high level priority. The therapists are highly knowledgeable, compasionate, empathetic and homely. We intarracted as if we have known each other for decades. They worked with me, from pain to laughter. I almost dont want my terapy to end because of how friendly the workers are. From the receptionist to the therapy-aides up to the therapist every one is friendly and delivers same quality of care. They will work with you to rech your expected goal at your own schedule. If you are considering a therapy for yourself or a loved one, look no further.I am not paid to write this and I am not asked to write this. I am real customer with a living witness to what PTSMC Glastonbury can do for you!! Give them a chance, and you will not regret your decision.

Sara Tarca

Brian and his team offer a great PT experience - and I’ve been to many over the years. A combination of expertise, skill, and ability to identify even small adjustments has resulted in big changes in my progress. In addition, the PT sessions never feel rushed. Most important, I always feel that I’m being listened to and my concerns are valid- that’s huge! Thank you PTSMC Glastonbury!

Sarah Schneiderman

Brian Greer us a skilled physical therapist with knowledge of the McKenzie techniques and other modalities. He taught me how to heal and prevent pain. He gave me exercises to strengthen my back,hips, and neck. These exercises are easy todo and don’t require a lot of special equipment.I’ve been to a lot of PTs. Brian is the first to give me exercises that I actually do.

Ruthandrhonda Gordonkincaid

I' went to PTSMC Glastonbury for knee and back issues. My physical therapist, Mike, was terrific. He is warm, friendly, encouraging, knowledgeable and thoughtful and has a good sense of humor. He gradually gave me more challenging exercises, and whenever I had a flare-up he would adjust PT accordingly to address whatever was going on. He gave me copies of exercises to do at home, and emailed them as well so I had videos to watch. I just completed my last session and my issues are well-resolved. All the other physical therapists, assistants and administrative staff were consistently welcoming and cheerful as well. I can't recommend PTSMC Glastonbury highly enough.

Stephen Becker

PTSMC provides highly competent services for a broad range of dx. I completed my therapy just today for an injured knee and am completely pain-free. The PTs are well educated and trained and utilize a wide range ofexercises, movements and equipment that meet the individual needs of each patient.My therapist was Brian who is extremely knowledgeable, pleasant and motivating. He is quickly able to adjust the program when indicated. I enjoyed working with him as well as the administrative staff who were also welcoming and very efficient .

Carrie Conroy

Shoulder fixed! I had such a wonderful experience at Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine Centers in Glastonbury. From the front desk for my first call to set up an appointment, to my last PT session, it was so effective and pleasant. Every single person there is so friendly and not intimidating. My therapist, Michael, was so great at finding doable exercises that worked for me, not only to make me better, but to easily maintain on my own at home. Is it weird that I hope I need them again at some point?!?!

Sandy Kravontka

The therapists are very friendly yet professional. They monitor your progress to make sure you're doing the exercises the correct way. They're always concerned about your comfort and pain level if any. Great Job!

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.
