5 STAR REVIEW
“I was like a new person!”
“A most excellent provider! My physical therapist, Mark, and his trainee, Tony, were empathetic, professional and demonstrated their competency in helping me significantly reduce my back and hip pain. The diagnosis was spot on as to what was causing my constant pain, and I was already feeling better after my first visit! After four weeks of treatments to strengthen key muscles (along with my daily “homework”) I was like a new person! I wish I had pursued physical therapy sooner!” — Elite East Greenwich Patient
