I decided to come here for a torn pec. My torn pec wasn't necessarily preventing moving, but after it not healing for over a year and a half, and also not being able to move heavy weights on bench without pain, I finally decided to seek help here. After 4 sessions, sometimes spaced a couple of weeks apart, and doing all the exercises given to me, as well as helpful targeted massages, I am happy to say I was able to decline bench without any pain at all. The first time I was able to move weight in a decline position without pain yesterday, I could have cried. I'm so excited to get into normal heavy lifting but I'm going to give it some more time and make sure it is perfect. I highly recommend this place, everyone is very kind and nobody is ever in any rush to get you out of there. They take their time with every visit and it just shows that they really care. 🙂

Everyone is very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. The atmosphere is very positive and encouraging to the clients. I have one therapist (with the assistants) who customized a rehab plan to meet my individual needs. I couldn’t be happier with the experience!

I’m a veteran who was sent here by the West Haven Veteran Affairs Hospital for Pt because it’s close to home making it easier on some of my disabilities. Past experiences outside the VA weren’t always bad but some were very disappointing. However, I got lucky this time around!Let me start by saying turning in or out of this place could be crazy due to how busy this area is. There is a small parking lot in front and a bigger parking lot behind the building but I’ll recommend parking in front if you have any disabilities/conditions where stairs might be a problem. The staff here are friendly and helpful. I have gone to therapy before in the past at other facilities but none have helped, I felt as if they really didn’t care or take the time to explain what exactly our main goal and focus is, other times the treatments didn’t help at all and made things worse due to the pace in which they chose. What stands out about this place is that the Physical Therapist understood my condition and worked with me at my current state, gradually increasing and decreasing depending on my body. Even after care, they send you an at-home treatment plan via email.

Doing therapy after leg and ankle injury. Staff is great. They’re doing great job working on getting me back on my feet. Good exercises, take their time working on my injury at my pace and explaining the process. Very flexible schedule too.

If you want professional, friendly and caring physical therapy, look no further. PTSMC in Waterbury is by far, in my experience, the most gifted and competent center for physical therapy care in the Waterbury area. I have been to others centers, but this one outshines them all. The best part is that, through listening to your story and feedback, they utilize their competence and experience in an ongoing evaluation of your progress. Certified therapists stay with you all the way and build or modify your regimen, if needed. That way, I am able to say I have always had my issues successfully resolved. I can't thank them enough.

This place has been amazing. They really listen to what you have to say and work to see what's wrong. This is the first time I have actually been tested for something other than lower back pain. And so far it seems like its actually my upper back and shoulder that have been causing the problems, and that's why after 3 years im still not healed. After 2 weeks at this place I walking and moving better than I have in years. Would definitely recommend for anyone, especially if your losing hope you would ever be fix. Kathyrin Flodquist has been amazing.

I've used PTSMC twice for very different situations; both times scheduling sessions was very easy, and both times I was back on my feet running again much sooner than I expected. This year, I had strained calf muscle two weeks before a long-planned 17 mile Grand Canyon run/hike. Three sessions with Kathryn, and some very helpful advice, and I never felt a twinge in the muscle, even on the steepest grades.

The staff at the Waterbury office of Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine create a friendly and inviting environment upon my first visit. I found the clerical staff willing to help me in anyway they can while the physical therapists and their assistants made every effort to accommodate my schedule. Their depth of knowledge and the range of exercises I was provided seemed endless. The information I received from my therapist and the way I was shown to properly perform corrective exercises was invaluable. I can’t thank Joanna Fisher enough for the treatment I received and the knowledge I gained which will help me address my injury and deal with it. The strengthening exercises certainly have improved my physical condition. I absolutely feel better after receiving treatment from PTSM. Thank you to the entire staff.

I love Rebecca she is so knowledgeable and do easy to talk to... I was experiencing Vertigo really bad. The day before I went to my ear, nose and throat specialist Rebecaa told me exactly what was wrong. Rebecca performed the Epley maneuver on a Tuesday which fixed my problem and my vertigo was completely gone by Thursday. I had vertigo for a total of nine days, had gone to the ER, seen other specialists. I’m so grateful to her, she is excellent at what she does

She has helped me several years ago with a running injury and is my go to person whenever something is wrong.Mario

I started going to PTSM about 2 months ago. I see Erin who is extremely knowledgeable, patient with me and truly listens to what I am feeling to find the best solution. In the 2 months that I've been seeing Erin I've seen more progress in my neck condition then I did going to a Chiropractor for 2 years!!! Erin takes her time and educates me, I dont feel as though I'm one of 40 patients walking in and out of the office as I felt seeing a chiropractor. She gives me her full attention for 45-50 minutes which is comforting. The staff at the Waterbury location are very friendly, always willing to help and make last minute changes should you need to. The feedback I would give this office from my perspective (I provide a service to my customers daily and my career is all about the customer experience) would be: 1. Reminders of appointments should be automatic. As a patient I dont feel I should have to ask if I can be reminded of my appointment. That's what sets one office apart from another is the customer experience. 2. The office has an open floor plan in a smaller space so you can hear everything. This should put the staff on high alert that everything they say is being heard and most likely judged. 3. This would be icing on the cake and really set them apart if when a new appointment is made with a new patient, understanding the therapist's bio's are on the website, would be going the extra mile if reception gives a brief description of who the patient is seeing for their 1st appointment and a little about them. Versus, this is who you're seeing, go online and read their bio. Overall, I enjoy going there, I truly reccomend Erin and the staff. The place is clean, colorful, vibrant and outgoing. Exactly where you'd rather be during a time of discomfort and pain.

The staff at PTSMC were very professional and helpful. They are very dedicated to assuring that you get the best treatment. I had some neck and back pain from a car accident and the treatment that I received really helped to alleviate the pain. If anyone is looking for a center with dedicated and professional staff, I would definitely recommend going to PTSMC.

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.
