Initially I had numbness in my feet and tingling in my lower legs. Stopping one medication reduced some tingling, but since starting here the tingling is virtually gone. Numbness has reduced with exercise and treatment. Balance and strength has improved with exercise. Much of my chronic pain from past injuries has diminished greatly with exercise shown to me. It was pointed out that I was walking in a manner that was unnatural. I have worked on walking “correctly” which uses more muscles and strengthens others. I have become more aware of the necessity of more activity and specific exercises targeting specific deficiencies. My appointment time was both informative and satisfying with observable improvement.

My PT sessions were enjoyable and gave me the tools I needed to improve my strength and minimize my discomfort. I feel so empowered! My Therapist was aware of my needs and was able to help me help myself. The entire Staff was warm and always made me feel welcome. What a great experience! Thank you all so much!

I was referred to Elysse by my nurse practitioner for tendonitis in my elbow and for recommendations for weight bearing exercises to maintain bone mass as I age. I travel quite a bit so I requested a program that I could use in a variety of environments without access to machines or weights/equipment. Not only did my elbow pain go away completely but I now have a comprehensive exercise program I can take anywhere! No excuses now. Thank you, Elysse!

Optimum's Therapists are very accommodating. They made me feel welcomed. They were patient and understanding about my mental illnesses. My physical therapy sessions have resulted in me having better knowledge and better physical conditioning. I was given achievable suggestions on how to stretch and exposure to low intensity fat burning exercises. The different types of stretching help wake up my different muscle groups. Getting low intensity workout has helped me lose 16lbs. Being instructed on the correct way to stretch and being reminded to tighten my gut, getting up and walking has helped to strengthen my abdominal-back muscles is helping me support my back/lumbar spine. The stretching and workouts have helped lower my severe back pain and spikes causing sciatica in my left leg and foot.

All your care and expertise made a dramatic difference in my functioning, comfort, and well-being. Your input really helped me make my way out of the problems that were painful and limiting my ability to function and enjoy life. Thanks very much!

I came here with confusion and hope. With little to no avail I was shocked with how amazing Optimum Health was. Very friendly and overall had a great experience. With time, patience, and hard work I was back on my feet. Thank you so much!

This has been an awareness year for me…physically speaking. The knowledge of PTs on human anatomy/movement and how to address the “wear and tear” we do to ourselves is astounding! I believe Physical Therapy should be more accessible/available to all! Like bi-weekly! In every working environment!

I started doing PT with Optimum Health & Wellness 7 months ago. I was referred due to an autoimmune disease and its accompanying pain. My Therapists helped to transform my life. Waking up in too much pain to move was overwhelming. I now have the tools to help myself gain (even more) muscle and keep my muscles working properly and stretched. I am highly motivated to keep my program going for always. Thanks guys! You are al amazing and I owe moving around so easily to my Therapists.

I came to Optimum because of sciatic problems and a referral by my doctor. Elysse has been my Therapist. My appointments have been twice a week for the last 4 weeks and I feel I have improved at least by 90%. When I first came in, I was having lower back spasms and shooting leg pain. At this time my symptoms have improved dramatically, and I am very satisfied with the results. Elyssse has been great to work with – she is knowledgeable, targeted the exact area I was having issues with and is very compassionate. Don’t know why I waited so long to come to PT! Would definitely recommend it to anyone with sciatic or other issues.

Last year, I began experiencing a burning sensation in my left arm. So, when I went in for my yearly physical, I told my Provider that I thought I had neuropathy. She referred me to a Physical Therapist, so of course I chose Kelly Chick Comstock. I thought I would have to wait awhile, but I was pleasantly surprised to be immediately contacted by the compassionate staff at Optimum Health & Wellness. My Therapist taught me how to take care of my shoulder, back, and arm. And I’m stronger now. Plus, my arm doesn’t burn anymore. I want to say a special thank-you to Kelly and to her terrific Crew. You are such a gift to me and to our community.

I’m 23 years old and I came in with lower back pain because it was keeping me awake some nights and was always walking around with nagging/aching pain. I started going to Optimum Health & Wellness hoping the pain would go away and I would learn how to take care of myself and my back in the future. The Staff was super helpful and knowledgeable and over the course 2 months was able to accomplish both. It takes a lot of work during your PT hours and on your own time. I was able to help my back in 2 months thanks to hard work and the Staff of Optimum Health & Wellness. Thank you!

When I first attended my initial appointment, I had come to a stage of living with intense pain, being unable to climb stairs, or bend, or stoop, or stand without the use of heat relief and/or painkillers (Tylenol). This had been my reality for close to 24 months. I am now literally pain free and have learned several techniques, exercises and stretches to maintain increased flexibility, comfort and an extremely positive outlook. I can walk, climb stairs, do household chores and dance without pain. All the Staff were very affable and professional. My Therapist has been outstanding! Professional, creative, emphatic, keen and motivated. Deeply committed to working through the physiology of my issues and to getting the problems at their source. I indeed feel blessed and relieved. I’m now ready for the world.

I began having back pain when I was 14. I had a very active lifestyle until I graduated HS and always just worked through the pain. I joined the USCG when I was 20 and my back pain got worse especially when I had to live on a ship for over a year. I’ve spent 2 ½ years out of 3 years in the USCG living on a ship and it made my back pain so bad that sometimes I couldn’t walk or even roll over in bed. At 22 I bought my first back brace. I came to Optimum Health & Wellness in 2019 and after my first visit, I immediately felt relief. They taught me a lot of ways to manage my pain and understood that working out and living an active lifestyle is very important to me. I’m very grateful for the knowledge of my body and everything I’ve learned about managing my pain. I’m most thankful for the relief that I’ve gotten. After being plagued with back pain for so many years I can’t say thank you enough for helping me accomplish this level of comfort. I definitely feel prepared to tackle working out and pain management on my own.

I have learned better mindful mechanics to strengthen my body to cut down on the pain and be stronger. I’ve learned to improve my posture and cut down a lot on muscle spasms. I’ve learned ways to walk stronger and smoother. It has improved my sleep. I’ve learned tools to be mindful of my body movements to become healthier and more mobile.

I came to Optimum Health & Wellness prior to neck surgery to prepare for the surgery and make a plan for post-surgery. The Therapist I was assigned, Elysse, has been awesome, she has helped me regain almost all of the range of motion in my neck as well as giving me the tools to keep that range of motion long into the future. I don’t believe the surgery would have been as successful without the help of OHWPT and Elysse. I have another spine surgery coming up after the first of the year. I am grateful to have OHWPT to help me with pre and post-surgery care.

I came into Optimum Health & Wellness as a last resort before surgery for a pinched nerve in my lower back. I was given excellent care from day one and through PT I was given a great program that has decreased my pain and helped me manage daily activities better than before. The entire Staff from the front desk to all of the PT’s are caring, knowledgeable and attentive to Patient needs. Thank you all for making this a positive experience and helping me get back to where I need to be physically.

I first came in unable to throw a ball. As a father of 2 boys and an athletic wife, throwing a ball is uber important. The super friendly, knowledgeable and positive staff helped me regain strength and helped me get back to my old self. Simona has the best taste in music and is genuinely nice and welcoming. The rapport the staff has with each other is like that of a real family. I would look forward to my appointments, I thank Elysse for her patience and guidance. She is the best! Thank you!

When I came in with a concussion, I had a hard time even turning around without getting dizzy. Working with Elysse and doing my exercises I had noticeable progress. She was firmly gentle with me about listening to my body and not pushing too hard and doing my homework. (It's amazing how if you do your homework, you progress quickly! LOL!) Thanks, Elysse. Finishing off with CST with Kelly totally solved the last lingering symptoms. I actually feel better than before my concussion. Thank you, OHWPT! You’re the best!

I made substantial progress at Optimum. My Therapist has been great and has helped me become stronger, more balanced and overall better. If anything were to happen in mine or anyone I know's future, I will definitely recommend Optimum. Thank you guys a lot for making me feel comfortable.
