It's amazing what you've been able to do to help me with my back pain. I never thought I'd be able to deal with everyday life again without the use of my pain medication every day. I truly can't thank you enough for getting me back to having a positive attitude about life again.

Drove 800 miles just stopping for gas, and my back gave out. Acute pain in lower lumbar region of back. Couldn't sit or lie down. Intense pain on bending. Took muscle relaxers, used a TENS unit (which blocked the pain temporarily), tried back braces, deep tissue massage, all to no avail. Couldn't sleep. Found BRPTC and saw Mary Stern, PT, Cert. MDT. She assessed my problem, and instructed me how to reduce the muscle spasm with an exercise that eliminated the spasm, and all symptoms on the first visit. I never appreciated how debilitating back issues could be but for the week I went through it,

Mary is truly a miracle worker. She’s kind and patient with my questions and progress. Ive been dealing with a disk rupture and Mary helped me regain movement of my leg. When I came to her I could barely walk. because of her I’m able to independently move and go about my day. The practice follows the McKenzie method and caters your therapy to your individual needs and progress. I recommend Mary to anyone who is looking for a physical therapist. Thank you Mary for all you’ve done for me.

I'm 61 and athletic and have had chronic, moderate to severe degenerative disk disease in three joints of my cervical spine for 30 years. I've gone to docs and therapists several times over the years. It always hurt and was getting to the point that I could no longer bike or surf and thought surgery might be my only solution. Gerald Stern changed my life. Between his spinal therapy and teaching me how to regulate, I am essentially pain-free and I have my life back. Thank you, Gerald Stern!

To continue my PT for a herniated disc, my PT center in Michigan insisted I see a McKenzie Method physical therapist and, on my behalf, located Boca Raton Physical Therapy Center. Gerry was terrific -- competent, analytical, thoughtful, encouraging. And the McKenzie approach was excellent; I learned important things about my own physiology along with strategies to address discomfort and avoid recurrence. The nurse practitioner in my PCP's office had pointed me toward pain management, injections, and possible surgery. Instead, I'm equipped to control my own spine situation with uncomplicated exercises

My mom went here for a 'mechanical evaluation'. We weren't sure what to expect, but were very happy with the service and care. Gerry was excellent. His evaluation was thorough and was very patient-centered. He asked excellent questions and truly listened to the answers. He helped develop a program that alleviated my mom's pain almost immediately. Which was great, but even better was the fact that he taught her how to treat herself. Nice to see practitioners that don't want you to be dependent on them for relief. I highly recommend the Mckenzie Method, and even more so, highly recommend Gerry and

Boca Raton Physical Therapy Center is my family go to place for our physical therapy needs. Gerry has helped me and my wife resolve shoulder pain a few times already. The first time I consulted with him was after seeing two orthopedists, who recommended surgery and cortisone injections; not ready for either of them, I decided to seek physiotherapy first. Gerry was recommended by one of the orthopedist and he managed to resolve my problem with the McKenzie method after 4 sessions! I highly recommend Boca Raton Physical Therapy.

I cannot recommend Boca Raton Physical Therapy Center more highly. I have been working with Mary, who is so kind, personable, patient, thorough, and knowledgeable. She is gentle, and has gone the extra distance to assess my issues and work with me to remedy them. In such a short time, my pain was significantly decreased and my mobility came back. I am still working with Mary and improving in a way which has allowed me to do so much more in my life. I truly cannot express how much her help has meant to me. Gerry Stern is also great, and Melissa at the front desk has also been kind and helpful.
