If you are looking for a clinic that cares about you and is committed to your recovery, PTSMC is the place to go. I am not a stranger to sprains and breaks, and I know being injured is one of the most frustrating experiences. Yet, all of the staff at PTSMC are so helpful and joyful, you can't help but smile when you walk into their clinic. All PTSMC staff help you know that recovery is possible while making it fun as you work through the hard but necessary process of healing. P.S. If you can, ask for Ted--you won't regret it! He was my physical therapist and he is the bee's knees!

I've had so many reasons for PT over the years that I am a pretty savvy consumer of these services. EVERY interaction at this facility has been helpful. Most importantly, the professional staff gives great guidance from the start of PT until one "graduates". Lifelong plans for fitness to avoid both surgery and re-injury. Thanks much.

Everyone at the Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine Centers in New Haven, CT is very friendly and professional, from a welcome greeting when you enter the facility and when you're leaving. The entire Staff is awesome and accommodating to client's needs.I experienced an immediate bond with Rick Purdy, PT when he read my referral doctor's report and assessed my abilities. Rick made it easy for me to see by example ways to improve my walking with a cane and gait, to procedures to diminish cramping /neuropathy pain in my right leg/foot tendons. Rick is a very thorough PT from my point of view with all his clients.I'm very grateful for my Dr. Machado, Neurologist referral to Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine Centers in New Haven. I enjoy coming for my appointments! Thank you and have a blessed day,Brenda Jones-Barnes

Truly the best physical therapy I’ve had, period—and I’ve seen over twenty medical professionals for my condition in the past two years!! The therapists listen carefully to your experience and allow it to inform their own highly knowledgeable approach. My PT walked through a challenging recovery with me, step by step, clarifying feedback and cheerleading the whole way. So impressed and so grateful for his work!

Great therapists who are well-trained, knowledgeable and go beyond what others can do. I was suffering from a bad bout of vertigo for weeks, and where doctors and other PTs could not help/have incorrect advice PTSMC was able to offer explanations, hope, and a road to recovery (with appropriate caveats regarding diagnosis and treatment). Would recommend unequivocally, especially for vestibular disorders.

The therapist did a great job of hearing out my concerns and describing things to me. Even as an Engineer who asks to many questions for most folks in a service type industry, he took the time to make sure I understood what was best and lend support.

I’ve visited many PT offices in New Haven over the years and PTSMC is by far the best.The PTs are experienced, serious and focused. The assistants and office staff are also focused, competent and friendly. It can get busy at times but all staff work seamlessly together to make for a happy environment. Fred Havelicek is awesome. He has tremendous knowledge of the body and is sensitive and responsive to the each individual’s particular needs. My husband saw him before I did and Fred’s guidance cured him of a long-standing hip problem. Offices are spotlessly clean too!

Best Exercise For Low Back Pain Relief

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:
