Atlantic Physical Therapy

I have been treated at four PT facilities in Suffolk and Virginia Beach over the past 8 years for a recurring leg/hip injury from walking/running. I had used Atlantic PT last year with excellent results. Since then, I'd begun doing volunteer dog walking at my retirement home. When I began having similar symptoms again from overuse, I asked to be referred to Atlantic PT. It's near me and it's a great facility. I received specific guidance on how to avoid this kind of injury in the future (don't wear the same shoes all the time, avoid excessive mileage on shoes, avoid paved surfaces, etc.). They provide clear instructions, provide printouts so I can continue doing the exercises at home, and are very organized. There's no scurrying around trying to figure out who's free to assist or where I am in the program.

I had a very bad experience with the First Colonial Road office. They are extremely behind the times in their approach to knee injuries and setback my healing process. They will also attempt to set as many appointments with you as possible without any regard if they are necessary. My name is Ben Hawkins. My phone number is 286-0003. I will be happy to share my experience with you. Based on owner's response: I can assure you that my surgeon never told you to routinely bend my knee until I screamed out in pain or have me ride a bike in that much pain. Nobody uses these tactics with a severe knee injury. After two weeks of leaving your practice and simply resting, I regained 20 degrees of bend in my knee. My knee needed to heal from the inflammation and damage you had caused. I started working with another PT practice that was floored by the amount of painful bending you were using. I quickly got much better when I found a PT that actually worked with me, restricted painful exercises and watched me perform exercises. At your practice you are lucky if you actually work with a real licensed PT for 20 mins out of a two hour session. Also, reputable PT's do not recommend that somebody with a serious knee injury undergo three two-hour sessions per week. That was extremely unnecessary. I have listed all of my complaints about this practice with the Department of Health.

Extremely professional in all aspects. Very knowledgeable. All of the staff are friendly and competent. I have needed their services several times over many years. They have patched me up and put me back in the saddle every time. They devote more time than most to each person. I can't begin to recommend them highly enough.

I cant say enough about Brian and his practice at Atlantic. They gave me back my life!! I had severe plantar fasciitis for years and the doc told me I needed surgery. I could barely walk or put weight on my foot. Atlantic healed me in 3 months! And they gave me hope from day 1 that I would be a runner again. Thank you thank you thank you!!

While knowing my condition they all have continuously ensured my safe and speedy recovery. I thank all of you more than I can express!
