Agata, was my physical therapist at PTSMC. She was kind, patient and extremely knowledgeable. She explained everything very clearly, while pushing me and monitoring me to make sure I did each exercise correctly. I found the entire staff at Newington PTSMC to be excellent. This is a very supportive community that takes a lot of pride in helping people recover from their issue.

I highly recommend Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine for folks who need physical therapy. They continue to help me out and I am grateful to work with them.

This is my second time using Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine in Newington where I've had excellent results. I recently worked with Christina for the past few months due to elbow and shoulder pain that I developed while exercising. She was able to give me exercises to do at home as well as modifications for when I went to the gym. I cannot recommend her and the rest of the staff enough! Thank you, Christina for helping me gain mobility in my shoulder and elbow without pain so I can continue to crush my goals at the gym!

I've had several great experiences working with the therapists here at PTSMC Newington. Most recently, I had a bulged disc in my lower back that was causing pain daily and preventing me from doing recreational powerlifting. I worked with both Agata and Sean who immediately had me doing key rehab stretches and exercises to alleviate symptoms and start to strengthen my lower back. Within 2 months, my symptoms were mostly gone and I continued to work with Sean on strengthening my lower back. After attending PT, I decided to continue to work with Sean as my coach in order focus my training back to powerlifting (making sure that I don't reinjure myself in the process.) I am several months into programming and couldn't be happier with my progress. I haven't squatted or deadlifted this comfortably in years, and my numbers continue to improve week-to-week. We are nearing the end of the training program, but I will not hesitate to reach back out to Sean again if I am ever interested in competing! All in all, my experience with PT and the people who work here exceeded all expectations. I've worked with Christina in the past for rehab on my knee and she was great as well. Highly recommend!

When I was evaluating several PT programs in my area, many people raved and recommended PTSMC. They were so right. When I first arrived, I found a clean, bright and well-arranged facility. I was greeted by a warm and knowledgeable physical therapist named Agata. She proceeded to introduce me to their program, schedule future visits, and offer several in-home exercises. No pressure. Yes, I am so impressed with PTSMC. I would recommend PTSMC to others and feel confident they will be as pleased as I am.

I can’t recommend this PT clinic enough! After my ACL tear, I was nervous about recovery, but the entire team made the process so much easier. What really stood out was the consistent 1-on-1 care—I always felt like my needs and goals were the top priority. The physical therapists are not only knowledgeable and professional, but also genuinely invested in my progress. They took the time to explain each step of my rehab and tailored every session to my specific situation. I got to know other patients and it really felt like a community. If you’re looking for personalized, attentive care, this is the place to go! Christina, Agata, Sean, Shana, and McKenzie are the best!

I went to the Newington PTSMC after getting spinal stenosis that rendered me barely able to stand. I worked with Sean who was knowledgeable, patient and always explained/demonstrated exercises appropriate for my condition. I am now much improved and thanks to this guidance I am now confident to continue to do the exercises at home. I definitely recommend the Newington PTSMC to anyone in need of physical therapy.

My experience with PTSMC was outstanding. I had the opportunity to work one-on-one with Sean through their online strength training program in the six months leading up to a major surgery. His guidance helped me safely build core and overall body strength, which not only prevented injury during training but also gave me a solid foundation going into surgery. As a result, my recovery was smoother, and I was able to regain mobility and strength more quickly. Sean’s support also helped me develop a personal discipline that continues to benefit me well beyond the program. I’m truly grateful for the role he played in my recovery journey.

My experience at PTSMC was excellent. The staff at Newington PTSMC was welcoming , friendly and professional. Their interaction with each other was family like. My therapist, Shana, was outstanding. She understood the needs of my recovery and had exercises that helped me make a swift recovery. She always made sure that I was in form, when performing the exercises which ensured I strengthened the body part worked on. She’s great! I would highly recommend PTSMC for recovery therapy. Thank you for your service!!

The staff here is the best and is huge in making the difference in this place standing out. Add in it being a clean facility, convenient with such friendly staff it feels more like a fun gym you like and want to go back each session. The receptionist has much knowledge with insurance questions and so helpful for getting you in for quick appointments or rescheduling as needed. The director Christina is awesome. She does a full assessment, quickly comes up with a physical therapy plan, tailors it as you move forward and guides you through during each session with her upbeat vibe which is truly encouraging and helping you get back to 100%. She has much experience and is easy to talk with in understanding the process, getting answers plus good advice making your total recovery easier to handle. They definitely work you to get better but have a fun vibe amoung the staff. There is also plenty of close parking in the town shared parking lot. I highly recommend.

I had a great experience at Newington PTSMC. I worked with Christina and AJ mostly, but all the other staff are just as kind, accommodating, and knowledgeable. I went in suffering of lower back pain that I had for about 12 years, five months later, finished my program free of any pains! I cannot recommend this location and their staff enough for your PT needs!

I’ve utilized PTSMC a few times over the last several years & have always had good experiences. The staff are friendly, professional, knowledgeable, & caring. The staff keep the environment fun & relaxed. During my most recent time, I completed my physical therapy & extended my time in their transitional PT/coaching program where I received individualized coaching & guidance to further my health goals. I truly benefited from this additional program & found the coaching app along with professional instruction very helpful. Christina really cheered me on & pushed me outside my comfort zone. I would highly recommend PTSMC Newington for both their physical therapy & their transitional coaching program.

I started coming to Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine Centers Newington a little over two years ago. I had a lot of issues with rounded shoulders and poor posture for years, stemming from working at a desk, and muscle imbalances from exercising. This resulted in shoulder pain, especially when weightlifting. I tried to address the issue on my own from watching various videos on YouTube, with little to no success. After a couple of years of trying to solve the problem on my own, I decided to try physical therapy. It did not take me long to realize that I made the right decision. I started working with Sean twice a week. I quickly figured out what the plan of attack was: start with simple exercises, and as soon as I mastered those, move to slightly more challenging moves. I had no idea that a progression plan like this was necessary, so working with an expert who really knew what he was doing was extremely helpful. I started noticing improvements to my posture after just a couple of weeks. This really kept me motivated, especially since I struggled getting any results on my own. After a few months going twice a week, my posture had improved drastically, and the shoulder pain was gone. After focusing on ankle issues that I also had been dealing with for a couple of more months, Sean mentioned something about a virtual coaching program they were offering that would focus on my overall fitness. Sean would put together a detailed workout schedule for me to follow each week, with each exercise clearly explained with the proper number of sets, reps, and total intensity for me to follow. Similar to the physical therapy, he had a progression plan in mind. As I got stronger, he gradually increased the overall intensity. I also started making in clinic visits once a month for Sean to check my progress and form. Fast forward two years later, and I couldn’t be happier with the decision I made. Sean has me doing all different types of challenging exercises. I have made great strides with my overall strength. My confidence has also improved. Sean and the rest of the team are a delight. They are warm, and very flexible when it comes to cancellations and reschedules. Sean answers any and all questions I have about technique, approach, and everything in between (and trust me, I ask a lot of questions). I highly recommend Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine Centers Newington to anyone who needs physical therapy or is interesting in improving their overall fitness.
