Needless to say, it was shortly after this shocking incident that I decided to stop attending Sportsmed. Less than two years later and I've been fortunate enough to eliminate my pain through exercise. I guess i didn't need to waste my time and money at a physical therapy place after all! Hey, ya live and ya learn right?
The most pathetic example of how immensely inexperienced the aids were came when one of them asked me to do shoulder exercises. I asked him why i was doing these exercises if it was my lower back that was injured. He said "I dont know, you will have to ask a physical therapist, I'm just an aid." Hahaha. That was the moment i l knew i was totally wasting my time and money there. Thinking back, i remember everyone there telling me to do random exercises that had nothing to do with my core muscles. I would genuinely be interested in finding out why they thought these exercises would benefit me as they had nothing to do with my lower back.
The therapists are very skilled and just amazing, I always get one on one treatment and they are very attentive to my needs, the staff is very accommodating with scheduling appointments and always work around my schedule. 6 weeks later I feel like a new man, healed and back to all of my daily activities.
From that day I began going twice a week and started to notice how uncaring and inexperienced everyone is that works there. Just like most dime a dozen PT places, all of the aids would constantly have personal conversations with each other while not really watching me do seemingly random exercises or while they were massaging me. I understand that their jobs would be much more miserable if they weren't allowed to talk to each other about meaningless BS all day but as someone who was having panic attacks about being in chronic pain, it made me feel horrible and that i was wasting my time.
Don't really understand how this place has such good reviews, maybe something has changed within the time that I stopped going or most people that come here come for more fixable injuries. I would assume the latter as I came to SportsMed two years ago for chronic back pain that they did nothing for. The first day that i went i was introduced to a lady in the basement who didn't even look at me who quickly brushed me away saying that maybe they'd be able to help me. Awesome. Next i spoke with the chiropractor who was a very nice man who told me if i came for a month they'd be able to help me. How he came up with a month i have no idea but I'm guessing he knew there was nothing they could do to help me for certain so he most likely felt safe telling me that one month would be a sufficient amount of time for my back to heal. I don't blame him.
I love this place! They helped me feel better in no time! Definitely recommend that others come here!
After having surgery on my foot my physician ordered physical therapy. I was very apprehensive about having anyone touch my foot but Sports Med of Franklin Lakes eased my fears. The front desk staff are welcoming, kind and friendly. They helped me complete my paperwork and made me feel comfortable. Kelly my physical therapist is sweet , kind and compassionate. She's an amazing therapist. Thank you for a pleasant experience.
As a very random aside, I remember when i started going to Sportsmed there were the very horrific terrorist attacks that occurred in both Paris and San Bernardino. Now of course the mainstream media was on every TV at the time in Sportsmed and everyone likewise automatically became an expert in foreign affairs and US immigration policy. Long story short, a Syrian aid who was "helping" me one night told me that she thought Christians from Syria should be allowed into the US but not Muslims from Syria. Wow. Just wow. I don't even know this person yet she feels comfortable enough telling me about her extremely conservative and bigoted beliefs about her former countrymen and how they don't belong in the US just because they're unfortunate enough to share the same religion that the mainstream media and Western neoliberal regimes paint as being evil.
These guys are great!! Everyone knows my name and treated me like a real person. It's clear why they have so many reviews! Thank you SportsMed! Highly Recommend!
