WESTARM is a small, family owned, physical therapy company located outside of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. We have been dedicated to serving our patients and community for nearly 40 years. Our company was founded in 1983 by Abraham Jacob, PT, as a Medicare certified rehabilitation agency.
At that time, our original outpatient office was opened on Longfellow Street in Vandergrift, PA and relocated in 1985 to Weinels Crossroads in neighboring Allegheny Township due to the successful growth and the need for additional space.In 1991, Abraham's son, Brian R Jacob, took over WESTARM as President and began to expand outpatient locations and to diversify services to better serve the rehabilitation needs of our communities.

I am writing a review about Eric Konvalin, the physical therapist facility director at West Arm Therapy New Kensington office. I’ve been an orthodontist for thirty years. I know the importance of being on the cutting edge in technology and delivering that care in a personalized manner. Eric displays this same honest and firm commitment reassuring the confidence required to know your in excellent hands during your recovery and prevention of future incidences. I’ve met many physical therapists, but none as knowledgeable and experienced as Eric Konvalin. His success, like most successful offices

West Arm Therapy is the judgement free healing center. I was simply amazed and impressedwith the people and quality of work given to each patient. They knew exactly what to do. They knew when to get rid of some exercises to replace with new exercises. I went to get help due to a pre existing neck injury from a car accident two years previous. When I came to West Arm Therapy I had no strength in my neck muscles to support my head. By the time I was finished with Physical Therapy they had cured any bad ailment I had been experiencing. Truly amazing! God Bless West Arm Therapy!

The Staff at WestArm , New Kensington were awesome. Eric, Gary , and Terri were very attentive to my issues. Eric was right on with his assessment and I am still doing the exercises he gave me. They know what they are talking about. I was treated professionally and they treated my problems successfully. Amy was great scheduling my appointments and handling the billing. I highly recommend them to all.

Kudos! To the New Kensington Westarms & Erik Konvalin & Staff (Gary, Terri, and Amy:
Started many year ago at Westarm after which my parents went there before I did. They highly recommended Erik. During these past few years, i have returned with many problems in health and was highly pleased with the outcome after therapy. They listen to what you have to say and then work and adjust to your needs. I was always pleased with the outcome. Thank you for the many times when I came in in a bad mood - the pleasant atmosphere let all of your problems go and you finished with a smile.
Keep up the Great

I had to have very extensive tendon surgery on my thumb following an incident with the resulting tendon becoming completely ruptured. Surgery was performed with a ring finger tendon replacing the ruptured one in my thumb. Colby at Lower Burrell was my Certified Hand Therapist who worked diligently to help me regain my strength and flexibility following the surgery. She was outstanding with tried and true therapy methods as well as some very innovative methods to help me attain my goals and return to work. Jen Ravotti also provided her expertise on several occasions when Colby was not available
