I am not lying when I say CORE is my favorite place to be. I have a chronic illness which also comes with chronic pain daily. I have a lot of bad days so I legitimately look forward to going to CORE. CORE has given me a safe, supportive, and healing environment to be in. I promise you, this is where you want to go! I’ve seen multiple physical therapists at CORE during my 2ish years here 1 to 2 times a week, and every one of them is amazing. The therapists are kind, caring, skilled, etc! I could literally go on and on about how amazing they are. The secretary staff is also very kind, polite, and helpful. CORE therapist really seem to be superheroes, angels, or some kinds of miracle worker. I can’t begin to describe or explain how much they have helped me. It’s really an immeasurable amount.🥺😊💜

Stellar and phenomenal quality of care. Chris is the most awesome doctor/therapist I have ever met. This is a unique PT practice in that there is no dumb exercise routine, just really therapeutic manipulations with skilled hands. They took the time to do a very thorough assessment and investigate what was the real underlying cause of the pain. I had no idea physical therapy could be so comprehensive and help so much. And it actually feels good! Chris is so talented and really knows how to treat a wide range of issues with a spectrum of advanced techniques. Ive been to lots of chiropractors and other therapists, but this is just the bees knees.

I am thrilled with the progress I have made in the last 2 months with Sue at Core Physical Therapy! I had a hip replacement last year and was doing fine with walking but had many lingering pain and range of motion issues. Now, I am able to do things I haven’t been able to do in 10 years! She really looked at my whole body and figured out how different parts were impacting my hip and she gave me exercises and stretches to help keep me on the right track. I would definitely recommend Sue and Core! Going there has made a huge difference!

My son is a 16 year old athlete. Last February he broke his scaphoid playing hockey and 6 months later he still didnt have his pre injury strength back and was still having some pain. Danielle Farina told me that she thought she could help him. Upon examination Danielle noticed that he was way out of alignment. HIs right shoulder ( injury side) was held up at least 2 inches higher than his left. Danielle worked on him and Brandon couldnt believe the difference. He said he was able to be much more aggressive at Varsity football practice afterwards and felt so much stronger. He was thrilled and texted me repeatedly to thank me for bringing him to see Danielle. She helped him so much and we are so grateful that he is feeling better. She is an expert at her field and we will always contact her first when we have an injury.

Dr Daniels work has been making my back feel much better

I cant say enough wonderful things about Wendy at Core Physical Therapy. Ive had experiences with John (who owns Core) many many years ago when we lived in NY so I was aware of the practice. I now live in AZ and came in to see our new Granddaughter. in Saratoga Springs.Before I left AZ, I was having a back problem. Was sent in for an MRI and was told I have severe arthritis, degenerative disc disease and stenosis of the spine. Nothing much could be done.So I get on a flight - 6 hrs. long - and if you dont think that was torture - it was. I thought I was going to die.....the pain was so severe when I stepped off that flight - I could barely walk.The one night I laid in bed, sobbing and not really caring if I lived or not. I was advised to go see a Physical Therapist.This brings in CORE PT. I was scheduled for an appointment with Wendy and thank god I made it there. I cant say enough about her and her approach to my problems. This is a hands on, manual Physical Therapy approach. No riding a bike for 8 minutes, then off to the pull down ropes. I had enough of that.When I walked in to see Wendy - I was asked my pain level. 1-10. That was a very simple question - I just said 15. By the time Wendy was done working on me that day - I move to a pain level of 8. I saw her 2X/week for the month of May, June and July. She honestly saved my life. I can say my pain level is now down to a 2 - maybe a 3 on a bad day.I just wish there was a Core PT in AZ.I plan on flying back to NY a few times a year and when I do.....Ill be visiting Wendy!Thank you Wendy!!!!I hope you know what you did for me.

Today was my very first appt with Troy in Albany for TMJ..I was very comfortable and relaxed as he worked on my jaw. I highly recommend this practice. I already feel better...cant wait for my next appointment!!!

Troy at Core Physical Therapy has given me my sleep back! After 12 years of neck and upper back pain at night that impacted my quality of sleep, Troy was able to immediately identify the issue and work with me to alleviate the pain and discomfort, so that I could finally get a good night’s sleep. He has been responsive and helpful with other areas of pain, like my hip, and has worked with me to resolve that issue as well. Troy is intuitive, knowledgeable, a great listener, and friendly. Also, the staff at Core is always welcoming and helpful. I couldn’t recommend more. My only regret is not going to Core sooner!

The staff at Core PT are miracle workers! I first attended Core after “traditional PT” did not help and I was left with the option of pain pills for life or trying Core. Within a month of that initial visit, I was able to walk and exercise again without back pain. I’ve continued seeing Steve for approximately 6 years now (I’m an accident-prone athlete which makes standing PT sessions a necessity).Most recently, I hurt my back from a poorly-timed cough. It put my back into such spasms that I could barely walk and wasn’t able to work. I called the office on a Friday morning and Sue was able to see me that afternoon. After three sessions with Steve and Sue over the next 5 days and I’m almost back to normal. I’m able to walk and move with minimal discomfort and I can work and go about my daily routines. If it weren’t for Core’s amazing therapists, I would’ve been out of work and in pain for weeks if not longer.I can’t recommend Core PT enough!Kelly

Everyone I met here was very nice, professional, and caring. The PTA who I worked with, JoAnn, was absolutely amazing, and I cant say enough good things about her. She really worked WITH me in healing from my injury, and made me feel like an active partner in my recovery. I felt so much better after every session. I highly recommend JoAnn and the practice at Core.

Core Physical Therapy in Albany, NY and Clifton Park, NY gave me hope and my quality of life back, not just once, but twice! This is the second time in a few years that they have profoundly affected my pain level and quality of life. Amazing!A few years ago, a renowned hand surgeon diagnosed me with a condition in my hand that he said could only be helped by extensive surgery, removing tendons and bone. He also stated that this procedure was 50/50 as to whether it would help, and it could actually get worse. The pain was constant. I could not hold any weight and was wearing a brace, even to sleep. Simply holding my phone or a pen was painful.A few months ago I started having pain in my legs, especially around my knees and left shin. I am very active, but the pain stopped me from doing many activities and even limited walking due to intense pain. After walking for a third of a mile the pain stopped me and was followed by pain for the rest of the day. I could not stand for any length of time and carrying any weight made it worse. After MRI’s and x-rays the orthopedist said I required Synvisc injections which were only delaying the need for knee replacements. I had nothing to lose, and everything to gain. I went back to Core Physical Therapy instead.Both times Core Physical therapy looked at me as a whole person. I was not a hand or a knee to them. Upon entering it is apparent that It is certainly not anything like the typical physical therapy office. They asked questions and looked at how I held myself. They asked questions about activities, incidents…My hand was the result of a fall and the injury was actually to my ribs. My knee/leg issues were traced to whiplash and overworking my shoulders and neck. I am now back to the gym and regular activities. Mentally and physically, I feel so much better, and I am no longer limited. I have my life back!I cannot thank them enough; I am beyond grateful. As they say, everything is connected, and they are there to listen and actually get to the “core’” of your problem.

Sue is great. Thorough, careful, effective, and professional. Have felt like a new person since I started with her.

I first went there for treatment of my broken ankle after surgery. John saw me and explained how he would treat my injury. Some outside of the box theories and thinking that worked tremendously. When I checked back with my surgeon he said my ankle is “fantastic.” John has also treated me for shoulder pain and even stomach issues. He is a miracle worker and just a nice, nice man. Every one of the therapists there is intelligent, knowledgeable, talented and empathetic. Very professional and responsive people at the front desk and two convenient locations. I cannot say enough about Core.

John is the best!!! He’s the Dude

I cannot more highly recommend Core Physical Therapy. I received therapy there for about a year for herniated discs and other lower back issues that cropped up as a result. They are amazing, with their osteopathic approach, which is not dependent on exercise machines, but hands-on healing. The therapists work on you in a private room with no interruptions. They are so knowledgeable about the body and how it works and they assign supportive exercises to do at home to continue the process. I left my sessions feeling strengthened and cleansed. The therapists who cared for me are true healers, and the whole place has a very warm, supportive atmosphere. If you need PT, there is no other place to go.Barbara Maggio

Brittany is the best! She really takes the time to find the source of your problem and explains things in detail so you know exactly what stretches to do and how to improve. Highly recommend!

If your “chronic” pain is an ongoing mystery, and if you don’t want to rely on taking medications to merely mask symptoms, but would rather get to the source/cause of your pain, try Core. I worked with Kayla at Core and I always looked forward to my appointments. Core looks at your whole body as a system, in 1-on-1 sessions, rather than in a busy clinic where physical therapists are treating multiple patients at once. Kayla is very caring in applying manual therapies, explaining what the therapies are intended to do, using her experience and knowledge, which she continues to gain through on-going education.I’m not giving 5 stars because of a bit of an ongoing problem between the billing department and the insurance company.

Brittany provided me with skilled therapy, exercises and encouragement. She picked up where other therapists failed. I am thrilled with the results and would enthusiastically recommend her and Core Therapy to anyone needing PT.

I was referred to Core PT by a massage therapist and am eternally happy with the referral. I have been a dedicated patient of the practice for treatment of a variety of long-standing complicated medical conditions including: multiple concussions, extensive abdominal surgeries with resulting internal scar tissue, numerous bowel obstructions, age related arthritis, bone spurs, minor scoliosis a variety of falls. And I understand the skepticism - why would anyone seek PT therapy for any of these conditions. Trust me, my doctors had no answers and simply wanted me to accept my fate and learn to live with the outcomes of there ailments. But I refused such advice. And I can honestly report: in the care of these highly trained and caring practitioners, there is much they can do to make life better. PT is not simply an exercise regimen. Pain and pain meds need not be the only option. And for those cases where health insurance is not available, the fees are reasonable - often no more than a co-pay. Most importantly, I can gladly report I am pain free, extremely mobile and active, and aging gracefully In my senior years, thanks to the expertise, attentive care, and dedication to this group of specially trained professionals. My contribution to my health plan was this: stick with the therapy treatments, allow time for the healing to naturally occur, and not get discouraged that the progress might be slower than taking a pill or submitting to surgery. Give Core staff the chance to improve your health and life. It may be the best gift you ever give yourself and/or a loved one.

Very knowledgeable and friendly. Making appointments is easy and they’re hours are very accommodating to a busy schedule. If you’re experiencing pain, I highly recommend you check out Core Therapy as they have helped me with my neck pain.

I have multiple issues which started with a broken ankle at the age of 10. That has caused my body to become out of alignment. When a body part doesnt function properly it causes more issues to other body parts. I was told by a physical therapist years ago I needed to strengthen my core and they gave me exercises. This almost crippled me and made my back issues worse. Once I found Core and they have my muscle groups working properly I can do exercises with results. This is not regular therapy, its their hands on your body to release hang ups your body has from within. If you suffer from daily pain, cant move like you used to, then give them a try! Facility is well sanitized and everyone wonderful. Two locations too!!

Core Physical Therepy provides excellent service! All the therapists are highly skilled and knowledgeable . Brittany is a friendly and well-trained professional. I spent a month and a half receiving therepy for neck pain related to desk-work at a computer station. Brittany gave suggestions on how to improve the ergonomics of my work station. She also gave me hands-on therepy treatment and educated me on stretches I can do at home. She also taught me some techniques on how to relieve stress using nerve endings. I learned much about the Vagus nerve and she recommended a book for me to read about it. Core Therepy approaches their work using the many skills therapists have instead of just using one narrow philosophy of how to handle a case. I highly recommend Core Physical Therepy.

I highly recommend Core Physical Therapy and Chris in particular. He looked for the underlying cause for my pain and resolved it. It’s a hands on approach where the therapist is working on you for the entire appointment, not setting you up on a piece of equipment and working on another patient simultaneously.

After the latest round of my back giving out, and trying other therapies wasnt resolving residual muscle pain, it was suggested I try Core by my doctor. I was skeptical at first, as it is not traditional PT, but after the first appointment I felt relief for the first time in ages. To add to an already great experience, they also take COVID seriously, requiring masks, providing hand sanitizer stations, and taking temps. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend it to anyone with chronic pain issues.

I have been an avid weight lifter for over 15 years, all the while having terrible pains throughout my left shoulder and collar bone, which ultimately caused me to stop weight lifting. I’ve been seeing Troy at core PT for the past couple months and for the first time in 15 years I am seeing progress in my shoulder. He listens to all of my complaints about my shoulder, explains the interconnections between my muscle and skeletal system and most importantly, he has been fixing the issue. I have seen five different PTs and none of them have been as anywhere close to as effective as Troy. Take it from someone who had pretty much given up hope, problems can be reversed and pain can be treated. I am once again lifting weights again and am working back toward a more normal, pain free lifestyle.

I had been suffering with sciatica pain for nearly two years. I was afraid that surgery was my only option.My doctor suggested that I try Core Therapy.I saw Troy at Core and relief started within a week.I can’t say enough good about Core and Troy.Now several weeks later’ I am close to being pain free.

I came to Core Physical Therapy after issues with my hip and knee - I saw Brittany and after just a few visits I started to see immediate improvements. It was a bit of a mystery to me why I was having such issues with my leg, come to find out it was a result of a surgery I had to remove a kidney stone a few years prior. Brittany worked with me for about 8 weeks, from not being able to drive for 10 minutes without pain, I have now driven for a few hours with no pain at all! I highly recommend Core Physical therapy!

Walking across the parking lot today, compared to just 2 months ago, was a world of difference. After managing decades of chronic back pain with fairly annual acute set backs, this last one really knocked me down. Troy took the time to assess, then address, the numerous contributing factors, and was easy to talk to about what worked and what didnt.

Core PT was recommended to me for a hip alignment and pain issue. The treatment received was not conventional nor expected. The hip pain was treated by manipulation of not the hip, but rather multiple other areas of the body that are connected. Following the hip pain was jaw pain (apparently they are connected, who knew), this pain was treated by back, neck and skull adjustments. Although each session is 20 minutes, the affects are long lasting. I did experience extreme headaches and fatigue for a few weeks but continued treatment. The body re-alignment and adjustments put my entire body into a fluid change that lasted almost two week. This resulted in temporary discomfort but once the body completed the adjustments both my hip pain and jaw pain were gone! Seriously, no more pain! The therapy also increased my flexibility and strength without exercise; rather realignment, adjustment and manual manipulation of the body only. If you have an open mind and are willing to accept the non-conventional medicine, you will not regret the experience. Thank you Brittany and the rest of the Core Team.

John is incredible! My husband was misdiagnosed with a fatal disease and John was able to turn our lives around after listening to my husband and rendering a proper diagnosis. With treatment, My husband is now hopeful of a complete recovery. John is such a positive force in our lives and we are lucky to be working with him.

I have suffered with back pain for many years. Ultimately, I went to a physician, medication was provided which resulted In dulling the pain but caused internal bleeding. Once I stopped taking the medication, the bleeding stopped but I was left with severe pain. I heard about Core and Jill from several friends she had helped, so I called for an appointment.Jill went through a complete history with me which included my surgeries, falls and accidents. She then dealt with my immediate pain and inability to stand straight. She did a realignment of my spine along with gentle manipulation to release pain and work her magic. After a few sessions I was walking with a lot less pain.Jill was able to identify other problems which I thought were all caused by lower back problems but their origins were scar adhesion caused by prior surgeries and auto accidents. Jill has treated me for a sciatic problem which has not returned, benign vertigo respiratory problems, and joint pain. My pains, including the joint pains have been greatly reduced. Most importantly, she has kept me out of surgery and my quality of life would be a lot less without her skills, knowledge and guidance.I can highly recommend her as a compassionate healer.Additionally, I am grateful for the times I have been helped by Danielle and Sue for their professional, caring help.Last, but not least, you are never treated as just a number at Core.

Started with kiala two years ago. Hoping to strengthen my legs ankle and feet.. needed better balance and gate . Kiala was great to work with and truly increased my leg strength, mobility and flexibility in my whole body. It was a great experience overall. Kiala and support staff were consistently professional and it was a pleasure walking into core Pt each visit. Would highly recommend this Pt group.

I suffered from lyme disease for many years before diagnosis. Core helped relieve my symptoms before, during and after my treatment. Danielle is unbelievable at pinpointing what is causing my pain, and quickly relieves it. She listens intently and is one of the most compassionate people I have ever met. My family has since started going to Core as well. It has been 10 years and we continue to value Core and its philosophy.

It started with a broken tibial plateau, surgery and 4 months in a wheelchair. When I start walking again I had severe sciatica pain. Jill recognized that my fall had caused my whole side to get out of alignment. Also my foot had almost atrophied. After 2 sessions the sciatica pain was gone! She has worked on my foot and hips and I am walking normally now.I can’t say enough good things about Jill and the Core Physical Therapy approach. I highly recommend them!

I have been treating with Dr. Alex Ventre for over two years for chronic pain from an automobile accident. He is very dedicated to making the most out of each visit and I feel my overall pain level has decreased significantly. He is caring, very knowledgeable and always willing to help. Core Physical Therapy provides a relaxed and professional environment and I highly recommend them.

Jill is great! I started therapy with Jill 14 months ago and have seen her regularly ( except for short break during Covid lockdown) for chronic severe back pain.When I started I had already tried chiropractic. massage and steroid injection for almost 2 years.Very soon I had short-lived relief followed by a few steps backward and this continued over several months. Jill never gave up trying different methods and always encouraging me with her assurances that I would feel better. Today I do feel much better than I believed I could. I owe it all to Jill, her professional skill, her persistence and not least her wonderful sense of humor which made me look forward to every one of our meetings.

Outstanding! Its my first experience with PT, and I am ecstatic with the progress. Nicely done, and thank you.

JoAnn is amazing — her knowledge and intuition using medicupping has helped immensely!!

I have been dealing with a torn hamstring for many months and had been doing traditional PT with mixed results. I was starting to lose hope until someone suggested CORE. I’ve now been going to CORE for over a month and the difference has been remarkable. And that difference is because of JoAnn. JoAnn is fabulous!!!! Thanks to her talent and techniques, she has finally unlocked the magic formula for success which has given me significant pain relief and renewed hope that I’m on the road to recovery. Thank you JoAnn!!

Where to begin? My body has suffered many injuries over the years (Broken bones, surgeries, etc.). Ive always blamed my aches and pains on the ignorance of my youth. For the past few years (25 actually), Ive had issues with my right shoulder. Just trying to through a ball, It felt like a knife being stuck into me. A couple of my co-workers had been going to Core Physical Therapy and had been trying to get me to go because of their experience with Core. Specifically, with Eileen. One day, I was just sitting at my desk with my shoulder throbbing in pain, I called my Doctor and asked for a prescription to Core. My first visit was not typical. Most Doctors and therapists would have me doing exercises that specifically promoted movement in the aching joint, but not here. Eileen and I spoke about all the injuries that I had sustained (That I could remember). She explained to me that my issue wasnt totally my shoulder, but was the injuries to the rest of my body causing the stress to my shoulder. We spoke about how the body is basically, a machine that needed a couple parts re-aligned. So, Im like Ok, what are we going to do? I lay down on the table and Eileen starts probing my muscles trying to figure out where the stress is coming from (Sort of like Sherlock Holmes). She found a couple muscles that need some immediate attention and started manipulating them to relieve pressure to my shoulder. I tell you, My first visit, I walked out of the office able to use my arm with considerable less pain. For a couple months, Eileen would trace the misaligned muscles and manipulate them back in to alignment. During my last 2 appointments, she found a mass of muscles that were, most definitely, not happy. So she did her work and I can now say, after 25 years, I am typing this review with NO pain in my shoulder. We still have a little work to do but man, I havent been this pain free in a very long time. Would I recommend Core Physical Therapy and Eileen to my friends and family? That would be a huge Hell Yes! I cant tell you how grateful I am to Eileen and Core Physical Therapy!

100% hands-on therapy, super effective. Chris is an amazing doctor who truly listens, and extremely skilled in both technique and figuring-out what areas need attention based on how its all connected. Totally compassionate and caring, too, with a great sense of humor. This has helped tremendously with back issues, chronic neck pain, and even TMJ headaches. Chris found and fixed problems that literally 10+ other specialists never even addressed. The office is prompt and professional and the front desk people are very helpful. They keep everything totally clean, too.

I suffered for close to 10 years with plantar fasciitis. After two appointments with Danielle F., my pain was gone. Danielle and Myofascial release have corrected my issue. I regularly go in to see Danielle to get myself beck in balance or if I start to feel tightness in my problem areas. Danielle has provided me with different stretches to help and she always has a smile on her face.Danielle has also treated my husband and two teenage sons.

My husband Tim and I have both seen Danielle Farina at Core Physical Therapy for Fifteen years. My husband’s painful, debilitating degenerative disc disease was the reason for our first treatment at Core. My husband had tried other conventional Therapies, including traditional PT and chiropractics, without success. Tim did not want to resort to pain medications because of side effects. He was living with chronic pain and life was becoming limited. Then we found Core PT.... John Murphy’s original evaluation clearly explained the reason for his pain. Tim saw improvement after the very first appointment, which amazed both of us! He continued at Core with Danielle and has seen her for maintenance for 15 years. His life is normal. He can travel, do home improvements, reasonable exercise, occasional hiking and generally enjoy life without pain. In these 15 years, I began seeing Danielle as well for hip issues and tendinitis with great success. We have referred many friends and acquaintances to Core as well. We know there are some issues that may be more difficult to solve and not everyone will have the same success, but we always tell people to make an evaluation appointment and see what happens. After all, what have you got to lose?? Highly recommend

I have been suffering with pain in my back and right hip for over 15 years. Ive had 6 or 7 types of surgery as the doctors indicated they knew what my problem was. Nothing helped - not the two knee replacements, nor the breast reduction or the IT band releases! I was totally convinced that I was going to live my life in pain everyday :( Then a business contact mentioned Core Physical Therapy and I figured why not give it a try. I am so happy I did!!! Their total body wellness approach has helped me immensely! Other PT places would just focus on one thing (ie: knee or hip) and did not care that I left with more pain than I came in with. Core PT is unique in that they address the whole body pain. I no longer have hip pain and my back pain has been reduced substantially. I actually look forward to going to PT and physically am making so much progress. If you need PT or are just feeling pain, go to Core Physical Therapy! You will not regret it!

After I contacting Core Physical Therapy I was quickly scheduled the first available appointment .My therapist was Troy, he was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. His treatment plan relieved my pain and allowed me to return to my normal activities.I am a retired health care professional with 40 years experience and would highly recommend Core Physical Therapy.

I had a great experience at Core Physical Therapy. My son was having trouble opening his mouth and eating because of an injury from soccer months ago. The staff at Core was friendly and professional but most of all, we are very grateful for the results of the therapy. After two sessions he now can eat, can jump without pain and can open his mouth wide open. I strongly recommend Core Physical Therapy.

I have been to several other PT places and CORE is different. Every person Ive ever seen there has made me feel like they really care about me and want to help me feel better. I see JoAnn, Chris and Sue in the Albany office and I would highly recommend them all!! Im thankful to have them.

I have a physical disability. Unfortunately, I fall often. The physical therapists at Core Physical Therapy are able to identify and fix my injuries quickly. They also help to improve my mobility; when they manipulate muscles, ligaments, and tendons its easier for me to walk and to maintain balance. Core Physical Therapy has corrected partially dislocated joints, displaced discs in my neck and back, stiff neck, pinched nerves, migraines, and so much more.. I highly recommend their services!

I had a lot of back back prior to going to core. I went to two other PT offices before core PT. I tried exercises and movement nothing help. I was not able to dead lift or squat until after core. Know I have gone about a year without having any back pain.

I have gone to Core (Danielle,) for almost 4 years. Everything from broken shoulder rehab to knee issues to typical back problems to even vertigo issues. This is unlike any PT I have ever tried. They are true healers. Its not a typical list of stretches you go home with, its entirely different and every time I finish an appointment I feel like Ive been in the hands of a healer. And my body is gently put in alignment. Its a really incredible practice and I always look forward to my appointments.im very grateful to Core and Danielle.

My experience at Core has been extremely positive! I do physical labor for a living and have 2 frozen shoulders. Sue, one of the therapist’s at Core has helped to relieve a lot of the pain. When they closed down because of the virus, my physical flexibility began to diminish again.I was so happy last Friday when I could resume treatment again! It’s because of Core that I can continue working.

By the time I was in 7th grade (2009) I had broken the same bone in my right foot twice and my right ankle another time. I had surgery to repair the break in my foot and was still in pain when a friend told me about Core Physical Therapy. I became a patient of Jill’s and she was able to determine that the cause of the repetitive breaks was actually coming from a variety of other places in my body. She was able to manipulate parts of my head and my foot at the same time to alleviate the pain and discomfort. If it wasn’t for Core PT I would never have been able to continue being active and play sports throughout high school. I did not suffer any more broken bones and am completely pain free in my foot. Over the years of going to Core PT I learned that they could treat me for migraine headaches as well. I currently live in Washington, DC but whenever I am coming home I still try to make an appointment to see Jill!

I have been seeing Alex and Troy for a herniated disc and have enjoyed my experience. I would highly recommend in the future!

Danielle knows just what to treat when I describe what is going on in my body. She is an integral part of my treatment team as my body continues on it’s journey of healing.All staff ware masks, the facility is clean. Patient and staff safety are paramount!

Love it here! Highly recommend. Kayla is great and helped me not just physically, but mentally as well. I wish I could still go however my insurance changed.

My physical therapists at Core PT are very personable and always get me back on my feet when my back goes out.

I have been suffering from extreme pain and poor balance for years. I was finally diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. The medical solution was to put me on various drugs that had troubling side effects. The one positive treatment was to begin Physical Therapy. This has made a tremendous difference in my life. Before having sessions with Jill, I couldn’t tolerate a simple touch. Any touch would cause excruciating pain.I also had a series of dangerous falls. After seeing a vascular doctor, I was diagnosed with subclavian steal syndrome. Physical therapy has ended my falls. It has also helped with the terrifyingly painful muscle spasm in my chest, back and arms that had previously landed me in the Emergency Room, thinking I was having a heart attack.PT at CORE has helped me get relief from my myofascial, pelvic, and arthritis pain without using drugs. The list of symptoms associated with Fibromyalgia is endless. I know I will get relief at CORE Physical Therapy.

My experience here was excellent.Referred 3+ years ago by a coworker before I had any issues to solve, I was grateful I kept their card. I have a history of various neck, chest and upper back pain that at times resulted in challenges with breathing and inexplicable muscle releases.Ive tried many options to resolve them at different times in my life but my experience at Core was that they had sort of leading edge approaches to healing that I had not seen before. It was very different from a typical crack-your-neck chiropractor or weight lifting PT.Last year I slipped a disk in my neck and it was very acute pain (Id say it was a 9 out of 10). Practitioners at this office were able to get me seen, and in one visit alleviate my discomfort. I had regained mobility and could turn my head.Another year later my neck exhibited similar pain with no specific accident this time, and not only did the practitioner remember me from 3 years earlier but her recent coursework in a brain class allowed her to treat the nerves causing my problem.I know it may sound a bit hype-y but the result was truly magic. I plan to go back again to continue that work to hopefully permanently resolve a couple things that are remaining from 3 years prior.The only con I can report is that they are popular, so getting an appointment may be hard and you want to double check you are in the schedule in case things accidentally get moved around. Otherwise the staff is very friendly and have your best interest in mind.

My son plays college level basketball. He hurt his knee and we all thought it might have been a tear. Core PT went out of their way to see him and worked on him until he was pain free. They really listened to him explain his aches and pain. They found the core problem and not just where it hurt. Who knows where we would be without them? I know this mother is grateful that the source of the pain was fixed so he doesn’t need surgery and he can continue to play the game he loves!

Chris is a phenomenal physical therapist.I had been experiencing lower back pain for years on and off. I finally met with Chris, and he very quickly figured out the problem wasnt in my back - it was in my calves! I never would have thought that. He gave me stretches to do and after several sessions realigning my shins, etc. has had me better since. He worked on my issue and corrected it about a year ago, and I have not had a problem since.

I have received excellent care for the treatment of my severe concussion and neck injury. The personalized treatments I have received have improved my ability to function and relieve pain. The therapists and staff are friendly and professional.

My body was broken in so many ways when I started at Core Physical Therapy nearly three years ago. My therapists use a variety of gentle manipulative techniques to treat my many conditions, such as: TMJ, carpal tunnel syndrome, lymphedema, stasis dermatitis, arthritis, and many more. Worth every appointment, worth every copay. These specialists connect the dots in ways most medical professionals do not. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

I came to Core PT with pain in my low back, hip, SI joint, shoulder, and foot – a pain saga that began when I was 18 years old. Sixteen years of exploring various therapies and treatments, both traditional and non-traditional, left me with only temporary relief. At Core PT, I found health care partners who listened to my story (and by listened, I mean they made eye contact, were not typing away on a computer, asked pertinent questions, and took time to reflect and think), and looked at my body as a whole. In a breakthrough session, we discovered the root cause of my pain – one short manual treatment and a few minutes later, the low back pain I’d resigned myself to live with had completely dissipated. I’m not sure when your pain story began or what pain you’ve resigned yourself to live with, but I would suggest that if your story resembles mine in any way, Core PT may be the next right step to take.

My PT was with Brittany and she really has helped my back pain. The people at Core are very caring and friendly ...

Primarily a positive experience. I love their philosophy on the body as a whole and focus on bodywork, and I felt the initial assessment was very thorough. Unfortunately I did have some frustrations with scheduling and Im pretty flexible. As a new patient they couldnt get me in for about 5 weeks, but they called and offered cancellations several times, which I appreciated. Once I had my initial assessment I couldnt get in for a gym session for over a month which I found frustrating since that is an important part of PT. It seemed strange this wasnt scheduled at the same time the initial assessment was to help cut down on my wait. Now as an established patient there is a week 3 weeks from now they only have 1 opening, which I feel is unacceptable. The sessions are quite short but I have found them, and the staff, helpful. I guess my reccomendation would be to book all your sessions in advance (and make sure this includes a gym session!). Its not uncommon to wait in line for quite some time to check out.This is a very very high volume practice and sometimes it shows.

After having surgery, my back ached so bad.I expected my abdomen swelling and pain, but assumed Id have to just tough out that part. I was so surprised my back was so bad, I had not planned on this.I called Core PT, left a detailed message about what my surgery was for and what I was feeling. I received a call back the next day from someone who totally understood what I was saying!(My surgeon said nothing was wrong with me - surgically I was healing fine. so he was done - frustrating!)I was given an evaluation appointment with John very quickly.Core PT, and especially John, understood what was happening and why and fixed me! My recovery was so much smoother because of John.If you are considering having surgery or have had surgery - consider Core PT as part of your recovery. Itll make such a difference!

Phenomenal therapy! My husband and I both had been going for therapy and at one of my appointments I mentioned my sons excessive drooling (he was 3 years old) and asked if it was possible that an adjustment may help. The therapist, John, said he thought an adjustment would help and may even fix the problem. After two adjustments my son stopped drooling completely!!

Things that make Core Physical Therapy my Rock:1) John Murphy and his kick ass team.2) Auto Care - If you havent tried it you need to. Look it up. Highly recommended.3) MediCupping Therapy - A new staple, that every dancer should know about.4) The relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.5) Extensive knowledge and amazing approach to physical therapy that flat out works.

Ive never felt better. I suffered in pain for 20 years before finally finding core. Most of my family have experienced success as well. Thank you everyone at core!

I started seeing a physical therapist/chiropractor since 2014. They helped to a certain degree but my back pain was always there. I did not feel significant improvement after 2 and half years of treatment with three different therapists. In August, my new sports doctor suggested that I should give physical therapy another try because my back pain was getting worse again. She recommended Core Physical Therapy. I am so lucky that this time my therapist is Jill. After visiting her for less than 2 months, my back pain has reduced dramatically. Some days, I almost feel normal again. I truly believe she has a gift, not to mention she is such a wonderful person. Thank you so much, Jill.

I am a patient with core Physical therapy. I was suffering from shoulder pain and had many of my own explanations for it. Who knew it was caused by scar tissue from a 24 year old thyroid surgery? The scar tissue was impeding a lymph node in the are and my body was reacting to all of that. John addressed this within the first 10 minutes of my evaluation. He has helped my son, who has ADHD and another staff member (Wendy) helped my daughter with shoulder issues after softball pitching. These therapists are remarkable! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Who knew the pain in my neck was coming from my arm? Danielle at Core PT! It is amazing to me when she pushes on one little spot and then the pain goes away. Thank you, Danielle!

Ive been suffering for years with spinal stenosis, pinched nerves in my neck, arthritis, bilateral carpal tunnel, etc..They were my chief complaints going in anyway. I learned from my visit that injuries from early on, can also be a source of my discomfort.Today I had my first visit with Rebecca Tomisman & she was amazing, patient, and very thorough. I was amazed as she went to work, pressing on parts of my body & was amazed at how the tension and discomfort slowly eased. It was nothing short of amazing.I truly wasnt expecting to see immediate results but, I left there with a little pep in my step and feeling the best I have in years. I cant wait to go back and continue this natural high, of feeling so good :)

I suffer from all kinds of back issues, i.e., Spinal Stenosis, Spondolytic Coudal Radiculopathy and Cauda Equina. Introduced to CPT and after one visit I could finally lay down flat and stand straight...Im on my third therapy session and I can say I do see lots of improvement, not completely pain free, but Im not where I used to be! I call Steve the miracle worker! He is excellent, I cant say enough about his professionalism and knowledge. I highly recommend Core Physical Therapy!11-16-2015.....still doing great!04-18-2016.....knock on wood, STILL doing great!

I am a patient at Core Physical Therapy and have become a believer in their core systems approach. Following the birth of my daughter, via cesarean section, many of my back and neck difficulties returned. While attending sessions with John (owner and therapist) my newborn daughter often joined me. In talking about her health, I was amazed to learn that Cores approach could also benefit my baby. In one short session - literally 5 minutes - John managed to correct a blocked tear duct that she had since birth. At 2 months, she began experiencing difficulties eating and suffered from constipation. Again, 2 hours after a short, 10 minute session with John she not only consumed a full bottle, but also had her first bowel movement in 2 days!! I cannot say enough about Core and the therapists that work there - they are not only able to help the grown-ups, but the kids (and babies) as well.

I have been a patient of Core PT for over 7 years and have nothing but wonderful experiences.

I used Core Physical Therapy on and off for several years, but would always see John Murphy at the practice to address any muscle aches or pain prior to seeing my doctor, each time he has been able to address the source of the pain and fix me without surgery or drugs. Recently I saw John after what I thought was a knee injury from my CrossFit workout and I could barely stand. Turns out I had dislocated rib and John fixed this and the next day I go from limping to doing the CrossFit WOD of burpees, rowing and squats (all stressful on the knee). Highly recommend the practice to anyone who wants fast and healthy recovery or even as a second opinion to need for surgery to relieve pain.

They are truly miracle workers!!!

They saved me from a shoulder operation.

Excellent therapists, inconsistent office staff.
