Fresh Pond Physical Therapy - Astoria

I have sciatica, which occasionally has "flare-ups" from time to time. Initially, I got shots at a pain management clinic which didn't do much to help. Then I started going to Fresh Pond PT, and the difference between my first session and my final session is like night and day. No pain, I can walk normally again, lift (somewhat) heavy things again, etc. It's a small place, but it has everything you need, and the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. Specific shout-outs to Noreen and Jay for helping improve my quality of life with the routine that was prescribed to me. I also want to give a shout-out to Ashley, the receptionist, who is wonderful as well. If you need PT, give this place a chance. You won't regret it.

I am really appreciative of the entire staff at Fresh Pond Physical Therapy since they helped me manage my discomfort by guiding me through targeted exercises. They offered me tips on how to manage my existing pain and avoid getting hurt again. Additionally, the staff used stretches and strength training for my arms, knees, feet, and joints to assist me in improving my range of motion. It is strongly advised by the staff that I continue to be committed to assisting with my rehabilitation and apply the techniques I learn at Fresh Pond Physical Therapy to my everyday life.

Additionally, the staff does not push me to have irrational expectations and is realistic about the course of my physical therapy. They allow me to take breaks when I need them since they recognize that I have limitations when it comes to completing particular excercises. Furthermore, I choose my own schedule and can extend my time in physical therapy if I so choose.

I feel safe and prepared to go outside because the staff treats me with empathy and kindness. The other patients' and my well-being are a priority to all of the staff members and physical therapists. They also ask the appropriate questions to find out which therapy goals are the most significant to each individual patient. Four or more patients can be seen at once by the staff.

Because of the staff's strong communication abilities, I am better able to understand my treatment plan and its likelihood of success. The physical therapists attempt to further enlighten me by asking questions about my progress. The staff also utilizes simple terminology and translates the information in different languages if the patients do not understand English.

I like that the staff stays focused on my progress, encourage me to keep moving, and remains determined to help me heal. The staff members modify my care plan as necessary depending on my reaction to the treatment practices. The staff know that I have have unique and changing demands so they perform different excercise techniques and use different equipment. The staff members always support my efforts and they remain committed to my recovery.

Evet worked really well. She was always folding the laundry and taking out the garbage. I know that everyone will miss her as much as I do. She inspires and comforts the patients to want to be healthy, and she creates a positive energy in the room that makes them want to recover. She ought to win employee of the month, in my opinion. She helped me recover but I'm never going to be fully healed. I enjoy hearing her compliments, praises and positive affirmations about me.

Since arriving here 4 weeks ago with a minuscular tear of the knee, my experience with Stephanie my physical therapist, and Mel has been great. Her expertise in manual therapy and pain modulation expedites my healing beyond other services. Not only are they knowledgeable regarding my circumstance but her clarity and expertise are highly appreciated and eased my anxiety which also helped with my physical care for it gave me confidence to push through the pain. For this I am Grateful.

I absolutely love this place. The exercises are geared towards my illness. I have been walking better but I am still falling and walking zig zag sometimes. The staff are so nice and they provide the necessary motivation. I love the environment too because everyone is so friendly and the decorations are always amazing. I am so sad to see some staff members switching locations because they are so helpful and I got used to them. If you have a problem, I would recommend Fresh Pond Physical Therapy any time.
