I am a 65 year old Male who went to PTSMC/Southington for a right shoulder pain issue. I had had PT about 6/7 times over the course of my life, and I thought my pain this time was too severe to withstand even ONE session of therapy.
Brianne Dwyer was my therapist.(She underplays this, but she has a PhD in Physical Therapy...I think other therapists there do also). Anyhow, on visit #1, Brianne had me doing a regimen of exercises that exactly addressed my incoming concerns WITHOUT causing undue pain.
It has been by far the most successful and at the same time most enjoyable Physical Therapy experience

Peter and his staff are absolutely amazing at what they do. The environment at PTSMC is professional and welcoming. They are committed to their patients and truly make me feel so comfortable each and every time I am there. This is the second time I have used PTSMC and Peter Cambi for PT. When I recently got into an accident and suffered multiple injuries, the Hospital tried to get me into another PT company. I quickly refused knowing that I wanted to heal with Peter and the staff, again, at PTSMC!

PTSM is top notch. I have a torn labrum and rotator cuff injury, although surgery is inevitable, they helped me regain strength and ease the pain in my shoulder. The staff is great, they worked everything out with my insurance and it was smooth sailing from there. I cannot say enough good things about this place.
