    "I recently received Physical Therapy for my right knee and right side of neck. I was very pleased with the entire experience. Everyone was very friendly and caring. My therapist, Dave, was exceptional. You could tell he was educated in the field and knew what he was doing. The PTA's were also very good. I would highly recommend anyone to go to Physical Rehabilitation Services for their Physical Therapy."

    "Everyone is extremely friendly and helpful. At first I was clueless with what was wrong with me but they’ve been able to point out the problem and help me get stronger to resolve my problem. I’ve never been better and it’s all to their hard work and help. If I ever need help like this again or if I have a friend who needs PT, I’d recommend them here."

    "I've used Physical Rehabilitation Services on more than one occasion. Most recently following a hip replacement. The entire staff are very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Dave was the Therapist I worked with and I felt so confident in his knowledge to get me back to my daily routine. I felt the entire staff was truly there to help me recover. I can't recommended Physical Rehabilitation Services enough. "

    "Really nice experience with knowledgeable staff who genuinely seem to care. Staff provided a nice balance of personal attention mixed with free time to complete scheduled exercises. The front desk and billing were spot on and estimated my out of pocket costs to within a few dollars, before my insurance company had even lined out my costs. Additionally, they provide freshly baked sweet treats and coffee on Fridays."

    "When selecting rehab services in the North Hills, I have found that Physical Rehabilitation Services on Perry Highway the best choice in the area due to its smaller more independent nature. I attended a larger, hospital-affiliated rehab center over a year ago for the same problem (lower back pain) but had little direct contact with the physical therapist, who was relegated to generating paperwork for dozens of patients circling in a very large room. At Physical Rehabilitation Services, PT Dave C. worked directly with my case each visit. He is energetic, compassionate and a good listener. He was a resource of information, tailoring an exercise plan to my personal situation that extends into the months following physical therapy. The staff is wonderful. The ladies at the front desk are the friendliest you will find. Marianne M., Ross Township"

    "Friendly and personable staff that is very easy to work with. They were very experienced with my injury and was able to work with my doctors and set an attainable goal for me. After my PT, I feel I am much stronger and know how to help prevent future issues. I was also given a great exercise/stretching/maintenance plan upon my last visit. "

    "I had an excellent experience with the physical therapy treatment I received from Stephanie at Physical Rehabilitation Services, at the Arthritis Wellness Center location in Wexford. Stephanie treated my left hip bursitis with all of the pain modalities to reduce my pain. I was instructed in a list of exercises that I performed both at the clinic and at home. The staff at Physical Rehabilitation Services are experts in finding the root cause of your pain and designing a personalized treatment plan for you to "get your life back." I would highly recommend these experts and caring individuals from Physical Rehabilitation Services."

    "Mary and the professional and support staff at Physical Rehabilitation Services are exceptional! I injured my neck while being overly ambitious trying PiYo. : ) Pain from a pinched nerve ran down my shoulder and arm to my fingers - it caused tingling and numbness. I thought the injury would heal on its own if I rested and stopped running for a few weeks (which I really hated to do). After the pain reached a level when I couldn't type or think at work, I saw a nurse who ordered x-rays, steroids and rehab. I saw Mary at Physical Rehabilitation Services for about 5 sessions over 3 weeks. The treatment with electrical stimulation, massage and exercises she taught me to strengthen and stretch the affected neck muscles worked wonders. I was ecstatic to be able to get back to running by the end of the three weeks. I wish I hadn't wasted the time waiting for the injury to heal on its own. The treatment really helped and accelerated recovery. Mary and the staff with whom I worked were extremely knowledgeable, experienced and professional. I've since referred other family members to Mary as well. I hope this information is helpful to others."

I was listened to, never pushed beyond my limit, and I know that if I ever have a need in the future for any PT help, this is where to receive it. The importance of doing my part on my own is paramount. It is a team effort. Trust the care and advice you receive here. It is the best."

    "Everyone in the office is friendly, kind and knowledgeable. Went to PRS because of painful, stiff hips. Surgery on both turned out to be the only solution. The pre and post op therapies given by Mary and Dave, along with Bill, Stephanie and Veronica, helped me literally "get back on my feet!" They thoroughly answered my numerous questions and always checked in with how I was feeling. They patiently encouraged me; adding more exercises only on the pace of my body's recovery. This minimized my recovery time. Danielle, Abby or Heather were also there to give me a hand. And Debbie and/or Charleen always started the visit off with cheerful conversations and smiles. If you want personalized, expert physical therapy, this is the place to go. You will feel better body, mind and spirit after your visit here!"

    "Need physical therapy? This is the place to go to get well. The staff is warm, friendly, and extremely effective. I have been here for 3 injuries now including one that was a very long recovery. Everyone there is a consummate professional with a smile on their face. It's not a big place but I believe that to be an advantage. You don't need a big a place with lot of fancy machines. You need a staff that are experts in what they do and the tools to get it done. That, they have. It feels like family there. Upon returning each successive time, I was sort of glad. Not about my injury, but happy to see everyone and know that I was in good hands. Frankly, I wouldn't even consider another facility. And finally I have to give a shout out to the front desk staff too. They fought for me with the insurance company and helped me get as much (very needed) PT as possible.

    Ross Township resident, James Martin, struggled with as Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) symptoms for more than two years. "Every day was a constant battle," said James. "I would feel dizzy and nauseous whenever I tilted my head back so I had to restrict my movements. At night when I would try to lay down in bed, it felt like the room was spinning so I ended up sleeping upright in a recliner."

    After multiple visits to his otolaryngologist, James was not finding continued relief. He learned about vestibular rehabilitation at Physical Rehabilitation Services (PRS) and decided to give it a try.

    "My whole family has been treated by PRS over the years so I felt confident going there for treatment," said James. "I was so impressed with Veronica right from the start. The thing that really stood out to me is that she listened. She took her time and focused on what I had to say. She was patient and did not rush through my treatment."

    After completing his treatment, James is symptom free and has been able to return to all of his normal activities. "What a difference this has made in my life," he said. "I feel normal again. I am forever grateful for the help they gave to me."

    When Glenshaw resident, Kathy Barkovich, noticed a small lump above her knee, she immediately contacted her physician. Tests revealed that she had myxofibrosarcoma, a type of cancer that presents in bone and connective tissue. Within a month of discovery, she underwent two surgeries to remove the sarcoma and shortly after, underwent a third reconstructive surgery to replace the soft tissue cushioning the knee joint by using a portion of her calf muscle.

    Following her surgeries she was restricted to a wheel chair and could not put any weight on her leg. Now facing rehab, she turned to the team at Physical Rehabilitation Services (PRS). "My husband had used PRS multiple times before and was so pleased with his treatment that I knew that's where I wanted to go as well," Kathy said. "The first thing I have to say about them is that they helped me to relax. I felt so confident with the entire staff. Veronica was my primary physical therapist and she explained why and how things worked and helped me make sense of what happened to me."

    As Kathy's rehab continued, she was able to advance from the wheel chair to using a walker to using a crutch and then to walking on her own. "I remember them putting me on a bike at one point and all I could do was rock my leg back and forth," she said with a smile. "When I finally made the pedal go all the way around, I was so happy and they were all there with me celebrating my achievement. As I struggled through parts of my rehab, they made me laugh and helped me move forward. They know just what to do."

    After completing her treatment, Kathy is able to walk with ease and has returned to her normal activities including working in her beautiful garden. She also participated in the Pittsburgh Cure Sarcoma 5K Run/1M Walk completing the 1M walk this past June. Although she has some movement restrictions, the team has taught her alternate ways to navigate without stressing her knee. "Even though my rehab is over, I know I can call Veronica if I have any questions or problems," she says. "When you have a traumatic experience like I did, you need to be with people who know what they are doing. This group really cares and I wouldn't consider going anywhere else."

    This past July, local resident George "Ed" Maslanka was helping his neighbor remove dirt and debris from his yard after heavy rains had caused flooding. An unfortunate wrong step off of a trailer sent him crashing to the ground, landing on his shoulder.

    An MRI revealed a torn rotator cuff, which is a tear in the tissues connecting muscle to bone and tendons around the shoulder joint. Ed underwent surgery and returned to Physical Rehabilitation Services for rehab. "I feel confident going there," remarked Ed. "They monitor you closely and if they see you're not doing something correctly, they help you."

    After completing his prescribed treatment at Physical Rehabilitation Services, Ed says, "I'm feeling good after physical therapy. I highly recommend the group at Physical Rehabilitation Services. The care there is top notch!"

    Ross Township resident, Ginger Webb, is no stranger to pain. Struggling for the past three to four years, she found herself in a state of constant discomfort. "I thought I was just getting older and that's what happens," she says. "I tried to ignore it."

    Reaching the point that she could no longer tolerate the constant pain, Ginger sought medical attention. An MRI revealed multiple spinal disc problems along with lumbar stenosis, a narrowing of the spinal canal which compresses the nerves traveling through the lower back into the legs. This, coupled with hip weakness stemming from an earlier hip replacement, was the source of Ginger's constant pain.

    Physical therapy was recommended and Ginger chose the team at Physical Rehabilitation Services. "I saw the results that other people I know had with them and they do have an excellent reputation, so I decided to give them a try," she says. "They could not have been nicer. My therapist was knowledgeable and she really cared. You're not just a number there - they're hands on and work with you one on one."

    After completing her therapy, Ginger's pain has been reduced dramatically. "I can move a lot better," she says. "They inspired me. I feel like I want to stay healthy. I highly recommend the group at Physical Rehabilitation Services," she says. "The people are terrific."

    Hello, Mary! We had a fabulous trip to Greece. Thanks to your expert therapy we were able to navigate just fine. We were achy and exhausted by the end of each excursion but certainly capable! Rich's cane never left the bottom of the suitcase! Here are some photos we thought you might want to see. The first one is at Santorini, an island with the town built on a cliff. You can see him on his way down the steps in the blue shirt. The second one is right next to the Parthanon and the third is on his way down the steps from the Parthanon. The ascent is 230 feet. We found out when we got there that not only are there many steps but, due to the millions of visitors to these places, the steps become polished.  This makes them not only steep and uneven, but very slippery. Thank goodness we had no rain while we were there.  I think that would have made them impassable. We certainly celebrated with champagne the evening we left Athens!

    Stephanie has helped me tremendously in addressing (and understanding) a lot of my pain issues. I have been so pleased with the time and effort she has put into helping me. Many thanks!

    At the suggestion of my rheumatologist, Dr. Angela Stupi, I was to start physical therapy for lower back pain that radiated across the right side of my back, down the outer side of my leg. I wasn't sure where to get therapy but decided to try Physical Rehabilitation Services even though I lived fifty miles away.

    I am very glad I chose them. At the onset of therapy my pain was severe. Stephanie was my therapist and I received excellent care. She was caring, understanding of my needs and helped relieve my pain using various modalities. She and Kathy were very accommodating with my scheduling and it was a good and helpful experience. Thank you!

    I experienced a bad fall one night and shattered my femur. Following two surgeries, I found myself in a wheelchair.

    Based on a recommendation from a close friend, I turned to PRS. Slowly graduating from the wheelchair to a walker to a cane, I now walk freely with no assistance and was able to return to my job. They are incredible. They have all the patience on the world. What a great group of therapists!

    I have been active my whole life. After undergoing a total knee replacement followed by manipulation under anesthesia, I attended physical therapy at another facility. I worked out three times a week for over three months. They put me on machine after machine, but I was only able to partially bend my knee (80 degrees). I felt like I had a peg leg. Unhappy with my lack of progress, I turned to PRS. Using a variety of treatment techniques including manual therapy, I was able to bend my knee to 125 degrees after three months! They had a great routine with me and paid attention to the details. It was a great experience. They treat you one-on-one.

    Bill, I want to thank you so much for all you did for me. My shoulder was stubborn and you never gave up on me. I am thankful for all the time and effort you put in to making my shoulder much better. Thank you.

    -Gail K.


    Bill, Mary, Dave, Stephanie, Abby & Staff -- Thanks to all for such excellent care and personalized attention. I feel better and will do my best to keep up the exercises! I would certainly recommend you to anyone.

    After being accepted as a JAG Officer with the U.S. Army, but before reporting to basic training, Jacob sprained his ankle. He tried to "self-heal" for a while, but with two weeks left before his report date, he came to us for the first time. When he first showed up, he could not run without severe pain in his ankle and heel; an obvious problem for someone about to enter a military career.

    After two weeks of physical therapy, Jacob is pleased to report that he is now running without discomfort. While he will continue his exercises to regain full strength, Jacob says "Bill and all the staff at PRS helped me make tremendous strides in a short time period. Without their help, I am sure that I would still be hobbling around. I cannot thank them enough for the therapy and encouragement.

    Former Marine Walt Boyle has led an extremely active and fit life. In an instant, Walt's life changed. While outside with his dog, he slipped on a muddy hillside, catching his foot on some debris, and tumbled down the hill tearing his quadricep muscle from the bone. Walt underwent surgery, wore a brace, developed a blood clot and underwent a second surgery. He attended physical therapy with minimal success, and was told, "That may be as good as it gets." Unwilling to accept his pain and limited range of motion, Walt sought additional medical advice and started physical therapy with PRS. Within a few weeks, his pain reduced, he gained additional range of motion and he continues to progress today. "I'm walking," he says. "You would never know what happened to me." Crediting their experience and personalized approach in treating his situation, Walt responds, "These guys are my guardian angels." Walter Boyle

    Marion Koch leads a healthy and active life. She takes vitamins, attends regular exercise classes, stretches and walks on a regular basis in addition to caring for her husband. Recently, she succumbed to a debilitating condition. "The pain in my leg was so bad, I could hardly walk," says Marion. Referring to a stabbing pain in her upper thigh, Marion pursued medical treatment. Multiple attempts at relieving her pain proved unsuccessful. Unable to find relief, her massage therapist suggested physical therapy and recommended PRS. Using a variety of treatment techniques and a personalized approach, Marion quickly found relief. Today, she is pain free and able to resume all of her activities. "I am so thankful," she says. "They really helped me." Marion Koch

    Louise Sutton believes in staying active. She walks, swims, volunteers at a hospital gift shop, her church and with a children's charity where she is currently helping with their signature fundraising event. Like many older adults, Louise suffers with osteoarthritis, a form of arthritis that occurs when the protective cartilage on the ends of your bones wears over time and stenosis, a narrowing of the open spaces within your spine which can cause pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. She turned to PRS for help in reducing her pain. "I was so impressed with their integrity and competence," she says. "Their positive attitude permeates the entire staff." Louise continued to explain that her therapist also tested her balance and suggested preventive measures she could take to avoid falling. She describes her experience with PRS as valuable and believes it has helped her maintain doing all the things she loves to do. Louise Sutton

    As an athlete, Vertus Jones knows what it means to maintain a healthy lifestyle. A former wrestler and now assistant varsity wrestling coach, Vertus subscribes to the health triangle, a tool that helps gauge the mental, social and physical aspects of life with the goal of achieving balance in all three areas. When he found himself suffering with low back pain as the result of a bulging disc, he turned to PRS for help. "Physical therapy is an important of the healing process," he states. "They were with me every step of the way. My physical therapist made it a great experience." Vertus Jones

    "On the advice of a friend, I scheduled several sessions at Physical Rehabilitation Services for therapy on a deeply pulled calf muscle. I had been training to run a half-marathon in Berkeley, California for almost six months and injured my calf just two and a half weeks before the race. I was concerned that my leg would not have enough time to heal and that all my training would be for naught. I was doubly disappointed because my son and I planned to run the race together, something we have wanted to do for a very long time. Since I am fifty-five years old, and my body doesn't recover from injuries like it used to, I wasn't very hopeful that I could participate. Under Physical Rehabilitation Services' guidance the therapy began to make a difference after the first week. At the end of the second week I felt that I had a chance to run the race. On the morning of the race, my calf felt great, and although it tightened up after mile eight, I was able to finish the course in first place for my age group. Thanks Physical Rehabilitation Services, I couldn't have done it without your help!"
