Excellent5.0 Based on 58 reviews from review us ontom sheatom shea ★★★★★ My P.T. Katie is knowledgeable and has helped a back problem that others couldn't. I would recommend her to family and friends.Kerry AmyKerry Amy ★★★★★ Very impressed! So much better than my last physio experience. Affordable, professional, and en pointe with exercise regime. It has only been a month and I've already had signifant improvement with increased mobility and lowered pain level for my excruciating shoulder injuries. I highly recommend the tender but strict ministrations of Katie, the lovely, kind therapist.David FreinbergDavid Freinberg ★★★★★ My treatment has been through Tom and he is amazing!Harvey PickerHarvey Picker ★★★★★ I've been undergoing physical therapy for several years (severe spinal stenosis, total hip replacement, etc.), with therapists ranging from disengaged and/or incompetent to outstanding. It's my good luck that I found PTSMC while searching for physical therapy and read the enthusiastic reviews of every physical therapist there. The comments about Stephany and Katie particularly caught my attention, so I asked to work with one of them. I'm happy to report that Stephany is great to work with and as expert a physical therapist as I've encountered. We are working on pain from my spinal stenosis as well as an extremely painful shoulder that I injured in a fall. Stephany's work with me as well as the exercises that she's assigned me are already helping quite noticeably. It's a welcome bonus that she's very pleasant and patient, even with an old man babbling in her ear. The facility itself is bright and clean and inviting.Serge ZarembskySerge Zarembsky ★★★★★ Professional work. Attentive care.Nicholas GangiNicholas Gangi ★★★★★ I was referred to PTSMC in March for a running-related knee issue that had me sidelined for close to a year. After working with Spencer LeBel for only a few weeks, my knee was feeling better and I was up and running and training for a November marathon. A few other foot and leg issues cropped up throughout the course of my training and Spencer was able to quickly and effectively diagnose and treat the issues without having to alter my training program. Now a month out from my marathon, I'm feeling very confident in my ability to finish in my goal time, something I could not have said before I started PT. Thanks Spencer!Daniel HoveyDaniel Hovey ★★★★★ Attention all runners! I acquired a hip injury while training for my first marathon. I was nervous it was going to effect my training schedule and make my goals unobtainable. I was referred here by my pcp and I am so glad I listened. I had never done PT before so I had no idea what to expect. I was told by the very helpful front staff that I would be best paired with Spencer LeBel as he was their running specialist. He was very professional and set me up with a training regiment to both help strengthen my injury and reduce the interruption to my marathon training. I was honestly skeptical that such simple movements could help and also allow me to be ready for a 26.2 mile race. But now that I have officially finished PT, and I have accomplished every single running goal I had this year which includes finishing my first marathon at the pace I was training for, I feel I have the responsibility to tell other runners about this place and about Spencer. Any runners out there. Stop running injured. Pt will help you accomplish your goals. Spencer has been incredible.G WrightG Wright ★★★★★ Very professional staff. Katie is exceptional. This is my 2nd time receiving PT from Katie. I have been very lucky to have therapy guidance from Katie.Lulu RodriguezLulu Rodriguez ★★★★★ By far the BEST place P.T I've ever been to. The entire staff is AMAZING and truly caring individuals. Liz is AMAZING. I definitely recommend this location.Stephen CalarcoStephen Calarco ★★★★★ Can't say enough good things about Tom and his team. They truly care about their patient's successes and that's why I continue to refer clients to them!Pamela BurlandPamela Burland ★★★★★ EVERYONE at the facility is AWESOME! They all make you feel comfortable and welcome. My Therapist Tom is wonderful. He explains things and answers any questions I have and he does it in a way I can understand what he is talking about as opposed to using medical terminology I might not understand. Going to physical therapy is like going and hanging out with family (at least the ones you actually like to hang out with). I would recommend 1000 %!!Susan PostSusan Post ★★★★★ Best and most appropriate PT I've ever had. Katie is masterful.Nick SallucciNick Sallucci ★★★★★ I was recommended to PTSMC West Hartford when I started having knee troubles. I have never been to physical therapy, so I wasn't sure how it would work out. After 3 consecutive weeks of going and working with Spencer, my knee has been feeling much better to where we are now going to every other week visits and pushing it a little more in the gym. Cannot recommend this location enough!Lynn OlsonLynn Olson ★★★★★ Fantastic center for physical therapy after my PRP injections. Katie was amazing and followed me through each exercise to help me improve my fitness recovery. Everyone there was willing to help each other out too, quite a team here.Susan CasagrandeSusan Casagrande ★★★★★ I chose PTSM because Stephanie Rozsa is there. She previously treated me for other issues when with another practice. Was happy to find her. She and all of the PTs are great, are the front desk staff. They schedule appropriately so your get the attention of your PT. Good facility with appropriate equipment.Lynn EverettLynn Everett ★★★★★ This is, hands down, the best PT experience I have ever had. I went to Spencer LeBel just 8 weeks ago with an leg injury that has kept me from running for 9 months. Even going up stairs was painful. I cannot believe that I have progressed to the point that I can now run shorter distances pain free. I have no doubt I will be back to where I was very soon. He was so positive and encouraging. On my first day I felt better! That has a lot to do with his attitude....."you will be running again soon". The whole vibe of PTSMC is really outstanding. They know your name after one visit! And most importantly, this is one on one care, not someone working with 3 other people at the same time. I will need to ask Spencer for lots of business cards to pass out to anyone who needs a good Physical Therapist.Mary Kate CoburnMary Kate Coburn ★★★★★ It is an absolute privilege to be a patient at PTSMC in WeHa. Everyone from the patient coordinators to clinicians and the aids are so attentive and pleasant. I have never received more 1:1 attention at any other PT clinic. The clinicians are incredibly knowledgeable and VERY thorough. Liz was able to completely correct my debilitating migraines that were caused by back and neck problems. PTSMC does not just treat the issue, they educate you on how to prevent it.Lillian GarabedianLillian Garabedian ★★★★★ I'm honestly very impressed with the staff at Physical Therapy & Sporty Medicine Centers of West Hartford. I have worked with several of the staff over the last few weeks and they all seem very knowledgeable, competent and concerned about me as a client and my recoveryJoseph CasaleJoseph Casale ★★★★★ Had some acute swelling on and off over the Summer and Fall from strenuous activity and overuse. Doctors recommended physical therapy. For several weeks now I've had the good fortune of working with Stephany Rosza, a therapist with PTSMC West Hartford. Stephany's dedication and professionalism has really helped to improve the strength and mobility in my feet, ankles and knees. I've found all the staff at this location to be very friendly, competent and professional. I would highly recommend!Michelle RydbergMichelle Rydberg ★★★★★ I would highly recommend Spencer LeBel to anyone looking to come back from a running or sports-related injury. I have seen a drastic improvement in my recovery in the past month since I have started worked with him, and am confident that with his assistance I will be back to my old self in no time.roger desmondroger desmond ★★★★★ A very good place for PT. Instructors are not only well-trained pros, but kind and compassionate team players.David CrespoDavid Crespo ★★★★★ I have been coming here for various injuries over the past three years and have undergone successful treatment for each. They tailor treatment to your activity of choice and, importantly, take the time to explain the mechanics of each exercise and why it will help you physiologically. I have left each session feeling confident that I am one step closer to pre-injury health. Overall, the warmth and expertise exhibited from the staff and service providers are second to none and I actively recommend their services.js_loader

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.

physical therapy examples

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.
