I very rarely post reviews but I wanted to highlight PTSMC Fairfield, as it far exceeded my expectations. I was referred to Rebecca after I sustained a lower back injury with sciatic nerve pain. From the initial consultation through two months of rehab, Rebecca & her team provided me a targeted and personalized treatment plan, taking into account my desire to maintain a base level of training during the period. Rebecca is outstanding, with decades of experience; when she was not available, I worked with her colleagues, who were uniformly excellent. The office is very well run, friendly and caring. High praise!

I am been completely satisfied with the Exceptional Customer Care, Outstanding knowledge and performance of my son’s physical therapist, Lucas and his Team at PTSMC Fairfield. He has helped considerably with his treatment program after fractured tibia. From the beginning explained thoroughly the treatment plan and has been diligent in helping my son through his recovery treatment as much as possible. Lucas and his Team at PTSMC Fairfield are the "Best of The Best" physical therapists I have ever had the pleasure to work with. His abilities, attitude, kindness, and expertise are unprecedented. The entire staff have been gracious. They were kind enough to accommodate my needs, booked an appointment same day I called, rather than make me wait a month to start my son’s therapy as the other therapist I was referred to expected. I am fortunate to have Lucas educate my son and relieve the pain when others intended he waits A true professional. Highly recommended!

I should have written this review a long time ago. I have been treated here for 8 months by Jennifer. After trying many PT places, I can honestly say that you won't find any place better than this one. All the PT are very kind, empathic, and knowledgeable.Jennifer is the sweetest person, she gives a 100% of her energy in helping patient improve.I am C vax injured, my symptoms vary in intensity from day to day and she would always adapt the treatment, the exercises in order to make me feel better.I have shed some tears at this place because I was suffering so much and felt so desperate sometimes, but Jennifer always gave me the courage to come back to the next session with the hope that I would get better. And after each session I felt a little better. She is the best PT i have ever had!I've had a few other team members for a few sessions, they are all awesome!I really want to emphasize that this place is extremally clean and well maintained. Everybody wears mask which made me feel safe the whole time.

If you’re a runner I highly recommend Rebecca and the team. She had me back to running in days vs 3 to 5 weeks of slow recovery of a calf strain. Book the appointment now and get back to your sport.

I have been to other Rehabilitation facilities after surgeries and walked out feeling the same as when I walked in.When I leave Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine I walk out feeling so much better. They get my replacement knee moving and feeling great.About an hour later at home I feel muscle soreness but only because they have me finally moving muscles toward recovery.

I've had my share of athletic injuries over time.Because of that I've experienced a variety of therapists of varying degrees of capability.Being new to Fairfield an Orthopedic Physician here recommended Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine.They are really good. The exercises, working the injured area, the total care of Andrew, and the entire staff, have been outstanding.From the first visit I felt 'at home' there.

I’ve had lots of shoulder issues, both frozen twice and two replacements. Therefore I’ve been to three different therapists. Those at Physical Therapy and Sports are excellent. Experienced, caring, knowledgeable, and have all the equipment and technology needed to help anyone to recover.

The entire staff is great. Destinee is always pleasant and works with my schedule. Rebecca and her team make me feel welcomed and don’t push me too hard, so that I don’t re-injur myself. Since I’ve been going to PTSMC Fairfield my lower back injury has been getting better and better.

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.

We’re proud to partner with the following community events and organizations:
