Here's what our patients have to say about Healy Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine I was involved in an auto accident on 4/6/09. I went to the doctors three times and he suggested therapy. I was a little nervous about it. After my 1st appointment with Valerie S. I said this may work. It did. 8 weeks later (the time Val thought it would take) I'm being discharged. It took about 6 weeks of therapy before I didn't have anymore headaches. I feel really good thanks to Val., also I saw Eric twice and he was great also. Which makes me believe it must be the entire staff. speaking of the staff, the ladies out front were always cheerful & helpful which when feeling like crap means alot. Mike you must be very happy you have such a great crew. David S. 6/19/09 I have had nothing but a truly great experience at Healy Physical Therapy
with Mike and Lincoln. After having major back surgery for severe spinal
stenosis (laminectomy, bone graphs and fusion), PT at Healy has given me quality of life back. Before surgery, I was having difficulty walking to
the mailbox. After surgery and physical therapy, I am walking 6 miles a
day (and sometimes more), swimming most days, working out at the gym and can generally do whatever I want. Thank you Mike and Lincoln. Also a big thanks to the staff who are so professional and extremely helpful.

Here is what one of our patients said about our newest Therapist Bill.............. Bill was an excellent therapist. He was always concerned of my well being during each exercise, which meant a lot to me. Because of his teaching I am no longer in pain. I will continue the exercise he has taught me. Thank You - Eleanor F. 5-6-09 I have improved greatly - much more than I expected. Jackie is a wonderful PT= very encourging and also good to talk to. she explained the different exercises well and made sure I had a gradual intro to different exercises. I especially like how this practice is set up. It is great how each therapist has their own room and each person gets individual attention. I have been to another place where you are in a big room and the therapist work on 2 or 3 patients at once. The recption staff is also very friendly. I would highly recommend Healy Physical Therapy. Thanks so much! Joan C. 4-30-09 I had a very pleasent experience here at Healy Physical Therapy. Everyone did an exceptional job. I am very satified with my treatment results and all the educational advice with regards to my posture and such. Thank you all so much....wish you all the best. Jennifer J. 5/7/09 I would like to thank Mike and Lincoln for their great help with my recovering and be able to return to normal (without pain) in my life. When I started physical therapy I had pain even when I walked, I could not make my body turn to the right without bad pain. Thanks to Healy Physical Therapy, I can go on painless. Tatiana J. 5/8/09 When I first came in the first day i was in great pain. Now I feel much better. I have no more pain. Nicole was a wonderful help. if I need help in the future, Nicole said I may come back. Louise K. 5/7/09 When I first started therapy, I had a hard time moving my arm. Now after therapy, I have no problem lifting my arm. Thanks to Valerie and Lincoln. Catarina T. 4/27/09 I have gone through many weeks of therapy, in which I learned many new exercises for my lower back. Now that I'm pain free and my back is much stronger, I feel that I can do my daily routine much better, and with no problems to my back. Eric did a great job in helping me get to where I am at this point with my back. Thanks to everyone at Healy Physical Therapy. Frank M. 4/17/09 Excellent personal service by all staff memebers. Ron did everything possible trying to help my problem even staying extra time. I was impressed by his effort and compassion towards my problem. John R. 1/23/09 Prior to coming to therapy I had hip pain periodically and sometimes severe. Now I feel a lot better and plan on doing exercises given to me by my therapist. Thanks for helping me get better!

I have improved a great deal when I was walking with a cane in December. Nicole was very thoughful and answered any questions I had. If I need any Therapy in the future, I will surely call Healy Physical Therapy.
Florence W. 7/30/2008 Here is what a patient said about Valerie Smalley............Range of motion excellent! No pain! Good strength- able to do everyday activities working on increasing strength and quickness of motion for sports. Already riding bike 5-10 minutes, swimming 1000 yards 2 -3 times a week, sailing...etc.... Thanks!!! Great job!
Gina W. 7/30/2008 I have improved a lot. I can walk up a flight of stairs one foot after the other and do not get much pain in my hip. I can walk outdoors a mile or more without much discomfort. I find Ron McKenzie and the staff to be friendly and accommodating. Scale of 1-10 10 being the greatest I rate you a 9 1/2.
Claire C. 8/4/08 When I began Physical Therapy with Ron McKenzie, I suffered severe shoulder pain, moderate neck pain, and intermittent hip pain. Therapy relieved the shoulder pain within two sessions. Both the neck and hip pain have been alleviated through a variety of manipulation techniques and sessions on traction. Ron taught me a series of exercises to keep me limber and to prevent reoccurrence of the pain.
Jane H 7/25/2008 Here is what Jane B. said about Nicole.....I feel a lot better since I started therapy. I can walk further than while I started. I can also climb stairs easier.
Jane B. 7/28/2008 Here is what Cynthia C. said about Nicole......I am feeling much stronger and can do more with ease. I have been able to increase my exercise routine back to normal and still feel great. Thanks you for your help.
Cynthia C. 7/29/2008 Here is what Elsie C. said about Deidre...........I was very pleased with the therapist that worked with me. With the exercise I was able to go back to work sooner. Thank you!
Elsie C. 7/31/2008 Here is what Carol C. said about our Clinical Manager (Kevin)............When I started physical therapy I had a continuous pain. Everything I did hurt both my knees and my back. I was struggling to walk and sit and work and sleep. Now I can go to work without hobbling and without the anticipation of 12 hours of continuous pain. Before my injury I was an everyday runner /aerobics. I had begun to think I would never run again. Last week I jogged for the first time in three years and now I can see a future without constant pain. Thank you Kevin. Thank you Healy Physical Therapy.
Carol C. 7/29/2008 I came here after three weeks of my knee surgery. I couldn't do any house work, walk w/out a Cain, go up stair, or bend my knee. As of today, 7/31/2008, with Nicole's help, I am able to do a lot of things like housework, walking, stairs, bend my knee. After two months of PT, I am very happy with the improvements. Thank you!
Lucy F. 7/31/08 Both Mike and Allison were extremely helpful and renewed my confidence in Physical Therapy. Thanks!!! My visits to Healy Physical Therapy have been very helpful towards my injury, in only a few sessions with Mike and his staff. I am feeling much better and have returned to work earlier than I expected. They offer a very comfortable & clean environment along with friendly service. I am very pleased with the overall experience and treatment. Thank You Healy PT!
Jose C. 3/26/08 I came here having spent over a year with several Chiropractors treating lower back pain and getting limited results. From my first appointment here, I was assured that the chronic pain I was experiencing could be eliminated and self managed. I was given a series of self adjustments & a number of exercises to practice at home. These combined with twice weekly manipulations by Mike have successfully brought me from someone with limited range of motion in lower back, neck and shoulders and chronic pain to a body with full range of motion and almost no pain. My confidence has been built up showing me I can successfully manage myself with the self adjustments and exercises. My experience at Healy PT was really great. Deidre & Steve were great in teaching me how to do my exercises and making sure I was doing them correctly. I took home with me an education of which muscles do what and the importance of doing the exercises the right way. The front office staff was always very friendly and always helpful. I would recommend Healy PT to anyone. Lisa B. 1/31/08
When I first started with therapy, I was walking with a cane, my mobility was poor, my pain level was high, and I couldn’t cross my right leg across my left leg without pain. Since this I have come a long way thanks to my therapist Deidre. She was great, knowledgeable, she brought me back to normal were I can do things that I couldn’t do before. My pain level has decreased, can cross my leg without pain, I can actually live a normal life thanks to Deidre and Healy PT. I would recommend Healy PT because they gave me quality of life back.
Steven D. 2/04/08 The quality of care and knowledge of the therapist was outstanding. I was discharged with more movement in my neck then I had before my injury. The professionalism and follow up of the office staff was equally outstanding. I would strongly recommend Healy Physical Therapy!
Ralph M. 1/23/08 “I compressed my lower back in December 2006 carrying heavy ski bags. The pain and discomfort was severe. I slept on my side for several months, with a pillow between my knees. I could barely lift a gallon jug of water or empty the dishwasher without intense low back and leg pain. I approached Mike Healy for help. He had been working with my wife for several years and provided excellent results. Mike adjusted me bi weekly for several months but most importantly taught me how to do many self adjustments and promoted a core strengthen program. During the above episode, I consulted with several orthopedic physicians. One was ready to do surgery right away, and the other encouraged me to give the problem a little more time, and continue with Mike's program. I listened to the later and am now feeling much better. By June 2007, I was riding my bike, water skiing, and doing Pilates classes. I have tweaked my back a few times since December 2006, carrying objects improperly, but the core strengthening exercises and palette have kept things under control. Mike and his team are outstanding! I would recommend their services to anyone!"
Rob S. 9/5 "My back feels 100% better! No more aches and pains. Hopefully I don’t have to come back but while I was here they really beat me up good. Your favorite patient" Ed T. 10/10 After completing my second 6 week evaluation, I feel 100% better without any spasms and I can start my every day life again. Everyone at the front desk was great. I would like to thank Deidre and Steve for getting me to this point in 6 weeks. They were great help. If I would have to do PT again I will come back to this great staff of people.
Anothony P. 9/28 "When I first started with physical therapy I felt hopeless. I was unable to basically do anything. I felt as if I was dragging my body around. Simple tasks such as washing my hair, brushing my teeth, and lifting things made me feel helpless. Normal activities such as laundry, cooking, and going dancing was impossible. With the help of Steve and Jackie I am able to do all of the above and then some. They pushed me to better myself. Working on all my muscles that were rock hard. Every exercise I did helped me stretch and strengthen my body. Showing me strength and endurance was what helped me to recover. I feel almost back to normal and I completely understand that it is up to me to continue my own therapy."
Diane C. 9/24/07 ”When I came to Healy Physical Therapy I had extreme pain in my lower back and could not stand. When I walked I was hunched over and could not sit long enough to eat either. Deidre did a very good job fixing me and I am very pleased with the results"
Richard O. 9/14/07 "When I first came to Healy Physical Therapy I was bent over, had severe pain in my buttocks, hamstrings and lower back. Working with Jackie I have made great improvements. No longer do I have pain as mentioned above. I would recommend Healy Physical Therapy to anyone needing this type of service"
George W. 9/14/07 "In March of 2000 I was partially paralyzed from the waist down after being struck by a motor vehicle and then having lower back surgery. I was diagnosed with nerve damage and told it was unlikely that I would ever walk again. I was in three different hospitals and was seen by five different therapists for over 8 weeks with minimal results. I was finally referred to Michael Healy for one last attempt at a solution. After just one visit with Mike my outlook on life changed. In only half an hour Mike had me standing with assistance and I was able to take two very small steps. Since that point I have gained much more confidence and have been able to make great strides forward. If it wasn't for Michael Healy's experience and persistence I would probably still is in a wheelchair today."
