A Letter from Tom Harney

After 46 years of working in a profession that has truly been a passion, I’ve made the bittersweet decision to retire.

Working as a physical therapist over the years has been both fun and challenging but always rewarding. Being able to actively improve the quality of the lives of my friends and neighbors here in Northeast CT has been an honor. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for placing your trust in me and my team for your healthcare needs throughout the years.

Being able to lead such an amazing team at both PTSMC Putnam and PTSMC Danielson has allowed me to mentor clinicians and watch them grow over the years. I am excited to announce that two of my trusted physical therapists will be transitioning into leadership roles. Kyleen Sidwell will assume the Director position at PTSMC Putnam, while Micaela Pina will step into the Director role at PTSMC Danielson. If you have not had the pleasure of meeting these two exceptional physical therapists yet, please reach out to any of us and we will make that happen.

Please rest assured that if you are currently being treated, your care will continue without disruption. PTSMC Putnam and PTSMC Danielson will continue to provide the exceptional care for which we have become known for over the last 26 years.

While I am stepping away from my leadership role effective April 1st, I will continue to treat patients though the end of June. I will then transition to a per diem role going forward. Thank you again for entrusting me with your care throughout the years. While I cannot wait to watch Kyleen and Miceala succeed in their new roles, I will miss treating you all and sharing in the laughter that usually went along with it.

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to me at (860) 963-2174.

Wishing you good health,
Tom Harney, PT

I am extremely happy with the results of my treatment at PTSMC! Kyleen listened carefully, was quick to grasp my situation, and was very thorough in recommending apparently the perfect exercises, judging from my mobility and complete lack of pain now. The tone of the office is professional, pleasant, and relaxed. Five stars for PTSMC!

I would 110% recommend this facility to many people. The facility has great staff. They make you feel comfortable. Everyone is extremely friendly and know what they’re doing. The first time I went to this facility was two years ago for a shoulder impingement I then went back for a calf injury. Both injuries were figured out and fixed within 3 to 4 months of consistent appointments. What an amazing team. Thank you

Just finished a round of PT with Tom. He is really on top of things: Well informed accompanied by a broad perspective. He was able to break down my MFI report and communicates the news better than my doctor (great metaphors for what is actually going on with my knee).

Highly recommend Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine Center. I'm not from the area but was going to be staying local post shoulder surgery. This place was recommended to me. What a fantastic experience! All the therapists are exceptional kind and compassionate. And they are like a big family which was great to witness. I was even given a graduation present!

I highly recommend PTSMC of Putnam, I am currently being treated for post-op Rotator Cuff repair. The staff is very professional and knowledgeable. Twice a week PT has me on the road to recovery and feeling stronger everyday. Can't say enough positive things about the center. Always a smile and friendly greet upon arrival. Just a great place to have so close to home.

I was injured while on vacation I dislocated my shoulder and was going to need PT. I had no idea what to expect but I was very pleasantly surprised by the professional support I was given here, a million thanks to the entire staff for helping me rehabilitate my injury and get back in the gym and teaching me what I would need to strengthen my shoulder and avoid injuries in the future.

ACL reconstruction and meniscus repair. I got help pre and post surgery at PTSMC, the staff is unbelievably professional, knowledgeable and friendly. They put their patients first above all else and make sure you get back to 100%. Every therapist there has helped me at one point or another through my healing process. I would highly recommend to anyone. I can’t wait to get injured again just to go back!!

Overall a great experience with people who care. Tom and Ashlee listen to my needs and worked to develop a comprehensive plan to address my issues and work with me during the course of treatment to continually assess and address things. I had the pleasure of working with everyone onsite and the care provided is excellent. I would highly recommend.

I have been working with Ashlee and Tom and they are the most hardworking, passionate, caring and supportive people. My recovery has been very challenging. I had no hope that I was going to ever hit my milestones or get better. However they showed me otherwise. For example when I first met Ashley and Tom I couldn’t walk at all pretty much now I’m walking a little over 80 feet and I’ve only been here for about 2.5 months. They have been like family to me. I could never ask for a more perfect Physical Therapist. If you are like me and are trying to find a place that is comfortable, welcoming, caring, hardworking, and most importantly dedicated then this place is it.

This is my 2nd shoulder repair with pre-op and post-op therapy done by the team at PTSMC. Tom & Ashley are my regular therapists, and they have been fantastic to work with. I can also say that the entire staff are very friendly, knowledgeable and provide a very relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. As difficult as recovery is from an extensive shoulder repair, therapy at PTSMC is always an enjoyable experience. 100% recommend the staff at PTSMC.

At PTSMC in Putnam I worked with Kelly, who has been wonderful and truly helped get my hip pain under control! She went at a good pace to push me to strengthen my hip muscles to help prevent future hip injuries, and always reassessed the work plan when my pain flared up. 10/10 would see her again if I get injured again, but hopefully I won't. The rest of the staff at PTSMC in Putnam is also knowledgeable, kind, and professional!
