The folks at PTSMC are outstanding - the time they spend with each and every client is great, as is their flexibility in making sure the rehab goals of each client are at the center of their coaching and treatment. The facility in Groton is bright and spacious. But, mostly, it’s the staff - great direction, great encouragement, great follow-up.

I found the support staff at PTSMC to be very helpful. Scheduling appointments was very easy, even with a tight schedule. The exercises that Stephen suggested seemed to be exactly what I needed to get back the strength and functionality of my arm after a rotator cuff issue. Stephen followed up with me when I was traveling to see how the exercises were going and provided me with good suggestions on how to progress things while I was away. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of PT.

This place is the best physical therapy place I’ve been to. I went to Pequot for multiple physical therapy sessions about a year apart and wish I would have went here. Walking into Physical Therapy and Sport I know I had a negative view on physical therapy from my previous experiences. I am just really glad I requested to go somewhere else for pt because I am extremely happy with going here. I’m not the most social person but they make me feel much more comfortable than Pequot did.

Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine Centers in Groton took phenomenal care of me after I had shoulder surgery. The entire staff is professional, supportive, and motivating. Extremely accommodating to my schedule and the facility was always clean and tidy. I had Miranda throughout my entire “post op” process and... she knows her stuff. She did a great job to keep me humble and maintain a challenge. She always had thoughtful answers to the questions I had. Thank you for not just putting me on STIM and the same two exercises for 3 months.

I started PT for an injured shoulder and I wasn’t sure the extent of the injury. Lauren was my therapist and she did her best to keep me as comfortable as possible while doing her best to strengthen the shoulder. She was very professional and I felt very confident in her ability. I did have to stop physical therapy to have surgery but as soon as time permits I hope to finish my road to recovery with Lauren at Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine in Groton.

It has been my experience through the years that Steven DeCastro and his team at Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine Centers are thorough and passionate healers. Their expertise and compassion has made everyone we have sent to them feel at ease. (I manage a Dance Company and school and trust them completely with our dancers and students) They genuinely care about her patients,and take the time to address the individual needs of each dancer/athlete. I highly recommend. We have found them to the best in the area.

Patient Success: Jeremy K

Jeremy suffered a severe ACL injury that kept him out of work. Hear how the team at PTSMC Groton helped him get back on his feet and back to work!

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.
