Middletown Girl’s Basketball Preps to Defend Title; OPT helps with Conditioning Program

Coach Michael Yates is working the Girls’s Basketball team hard this year in hopes of matching the perfection of last season.  Gritty and determined, the girls are in pre-season drills and conditioning, awaiting the start of this year’s schedule.

Last week on Day 1 of practice, Coach Yates invited Olympic PT in to set up the pre-practice and pre-game workout program.  Olympic PT develops, through their advanced training and Fellowships, team oriented sprots specific training programs to build better athletes.

“It has been a positive experience for us and the girls have bought into the routine and use it everyday before practice and games.
We are in better shape, physically and mentally, and the Power workout has been instrumental in our success this year and hopefully for the years to come.
We are very happy that the staff at Olympic Physical Therapy has become a part of the Middletown High School Athletic Department and their sport teams, especially the Girls Basketball Program.
  
We totally endorse the using of the Power workout and especially would like to thank OPT for their time in bringing this great program to us and the Middletown Athletic Department”.  Michael Yates, Head Coach  MHS

OPT Orthotics Again Going Around the World

Casey Smith, Team PUMA Crew Leaving

“I was suffering intense pain in my right arch for more than a year, after being fitted for a set of off the shelf Orthotics from you the pain is gone after one week.
I am looking forward to using the custom ones you have made for my sea boots on the bow of Puma’s Mar Mostro in the Volvo Ocean Race”.
Best regards
Casey Smith

The Staff at OPT wishes Good Luck, safe travels and Godspeed to the crew of TeamPUMA.

“Less back pain…and I enjoy coming”

“I find this type of PT to be very helpful.  I have improved my outlook and reduced the amount of pain in my back during normal activities.  I enjoy coming…”  Mary E.

This patient offered these kinds words to the staff at OPT following her care.  She stated she had been to “other kinds” of Physical Therapy, all of which failed to help her get back to being active. These admitted ‘passive’ therapies did not allow her to improve, or to play with her Grandkids the way she wanted.  The functional approach used by the staff at OPT, using research proven techniques and exercises, helped make a happy Grandma and happy kids.

“…all Physical Therapy places are not created equal..”

No comparison to any other physical therapy center I have been!

Because I live in Massachusetts when I have a problem that requires physical therapy I attempt to fix it at places near me in the Boston area where each time they address one small portion of the problem. They take a myopic and dated view of the problem. Frankly, it was waste of time going elsewhere because when I come down here to Olympic Therapy, Bert and his team get it right away every time  and create the perfect exercises to help  get me right back into my natural state of wellness. I am continually amazed how quickly and accurately I am diagnosed, how clearly and respectfully it is explained to me, and how every member of the team (and there are many) is flowing in sync to guide me through the exercises. In an era where doctors barely look patients in the eye, this facility is so refreshing because of the many ways they listen to their clients. Sitting in a chair my neck began to ache and in that second Bert intuitively picked up on it before I moved or said a word and then proceeded to work on the area. I’d like to say I have been looking for a place like this but truly I didn’t know it existed before I came here. I now tell my doctors that all physical therapy places are not created equal. There is one that is exceptional and surprisingly fun!  Heating and cooling pads, electrical massaging, helpful explanations, individualized, thorough and thoughtful exercise plans customized for you, and lots of smiles! This is the model for the perfect physical therapy center!
