Exactly What I Was Hoping For

by doryi

When I first came to Body Mechanics, I had been suffering from sacroiliac joint dysfunction for years. In recent months, in fact, it had gotten so bad that I couldn't walk without limping, and sitting for any length of time was very painful. Driving long distances was practically impossible without frequent stops. The staff at Body Mechanics diagnosed my problem, explained it to me thoroughly, and taught me exercises to readjust myself and strenghthen the muscles so that my si joint wouldn't keep slipping out. They taught me strategies to prevent the recurrence of my problem, and they even taught my husband several techniques to help me get realigned if the si joint does get out of whack. The whole staff is just great, but I am especially grateful to David, who worked with me so patiently. What I was hoping for were strategies and exercises with which I could help myself, and I got all that and more. I also got an understanding of the problem so that I can create strategies of my own to prevent the problem from returning. Many, many thanks to Body Mechanics for a job very well done!

• Pros: Friendly, knowledgeable staff
• Cons: Must allow extra time for parking

Best PTs in town

by ssb123

I had seen 3 therapists to no improvement before seeing David. He gave me better information and exercises and performed the most rigorous evaluation I'd received. He really thought about how the body was working as a whole and obviously knew a million more ways to address the problem than the other therapists I had seen. I even walked out feeling much better, rather than just going home with a perscription for some leg lifts. If you have any pain I would highly recommend booking with David. First session was free and my insurance covered most of the cost. Also, no one else has noted that THEY WILL REIMBURSE YOUR PARKING COSTS when you are discharged!

Excellent

by AFrisken

I have received the best care here. I had doubts about the ability of my therapist, Jeff, to correct my problems, but the results I experienced are amazing. He was encouraging and very knowledgable which allowed me to make steady and consistent process. I would recommend him and this office to anyone looking for PT!

• Pros: I can really see and feel a change!
• Cons: the parking

Pleasantly surprised!

by Danny1980

I was initially resistant, then from the first visit I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of pain reduction from the begining, food information and instruction, and continued support during ups and downs.

• Pros: I worked with Jeff and Elizabeth and both of them were very professional and knowledgeable. The front office were always so upbeat and positive. I will miss them all.
• Cons: Parking!

AWESOME!

by kevinburke

I am extremely satisfied with the treatment I received. I have been to two or three other tharpy offices and have not gotten the treatment like I received here. Jeff Ryg has been awesome. I have never had a therapist like him before. He is extremely knowledgeable and very patient. It was well worth the 2 hour drive and out of network insurance!!

• Pros: It was great to know what I was doing wrong in my daily routine and how to treat them myself at home
• Cons: none! everyone was great! keep up the great work...

No complaints here!

by DavidDaSilva

Everyone was so professional, cordial, pleasant, and accomodating. I really appreciated not having to wait too long for my therapist and the fact that my therapist did not work with me and 2-3 more clients at the same time, during my appointment. This is something I experienced with other physical therapists which I hated. I wish that everyone who had to do physical therapy knew about Body Mechanics! Seriously, they are AWESOME!!!!

• Pros: I have been to many physical therapy offices in the past and was pleasantly surprised with this one! I always felt taken care of and important.
• Cons: Horrible parking situation, but worth the drive and obscene parking garage

Just what I was looking for!

by RyanH1982

David Mesnick is the best physical therapist I have ever had. He is very accurate and dead on in making an assessment for my knee injury. In less than 4 weeks my pain had significantly decreased and my recovery time amazed me because I didn't think that my pain would go away.

• Pros: Coming here helped me understand why my pain existed and how to think wholistically about why exercises would be beneficial to me
• Cons: Although it is not fun making such a hefty co-payment, it was well worth it. I was supposed to have surgery which would have cost less out of pocket, but have been more detrimental long term.

Hands down, best place I have ever been

by KirstenSch

My experience was very positive. I have had PT twice before and was diasppointed in the treatment or lack there of both times. Jeff Ryg, my physical therpist at Body Mechanics truly showed me what a physical therapist can do for a patient.

• Pros: Having my physical therapist, Jeff, take the time to show me what my problem was and give me effective exercises.
• Cons: When one's designated therapist is unable to be in the office, I think the patient should be called at home and have the option to reschedule.

Amazing!!!

by JulietteM

I never regretted coming to a PT session here and I always felt great afterwards. The whole experience was fantastic.. The attention to detail and the concern for the whole body, rather than just the symptoms and/or injury, were unlike any other place I have been. Also, the communication that they maintained with my doctor helped me feel comfortable.

• Pros: The time and patience exhibited by ALL of the staff
• Cons: It was difficult facing the limitations of my body at this age!!
