Patient Testimonials


After recovering from an ankle injury, I was unable to run, jump or shift direction comfortably. I was unable to walk for long periods of time without pain or soreness. Since finishing my physical therapy, I am able to run, jump and switch directions without pain. I am back to playing sports and can stand all day doing work.

Prior to physical Therapy I had muscle pain in my leg and hip. I also had groin pain. I noticed that whenever I walked, I felt the pain increase. The pain would also get worse with certain movements. The pain was almost constant. The 1st few visits I didn’t notice much difference. I still felt pain in my leg, hip and groin. As time went on, doing all my exercises, I started to fell relief and felt much better. My change has been very big. I am happy with my achievements. Thank you to everyone for your help and good work.

I have been suffering from vertigo for months. I was reading literature in the Chelsea office about treatments available for vertigo. Brian’s treatments and follow-ups have proven to be very effective for me. My vertigo was crippling my life and affecting me from being able to work, drive, just daily functioning was becoming very challenging. Since starting therapy life is so IMPROVED. My eyes are no longer bouncing, rooms no longer spin. The past 48 hours have been the best I’ve had in months. I’m thankful to have some exercises I can continue on my own.

Before coming to therapy with you, my hand and my arm hurt very bad. The pain was impossible to handle at times. My arm and hand were weak and swelled very badly. Now that my therapy is complete, I able to use both my arm and hand. I was also given exercises to do, which I do regularly.

I fall down a bunch, so I’ve been a patient here twice over the last couple of years. Every time I’m here I have a great experience. The front desk staffs are efficient, polite, and laugh at my jokes. The therapists put up with my whining and I always leave feeling great. Their hours are very convenient if you have a 9-5 job.

I have never met such a great team, especially front desk staff. They are amazing all of them. They are super helpful in person or on the phone. They are very patient and always try to fit your appointments according to your schedule. Honestly, I have never meet such and efficient front desk staff. All five of them are great. They are always busy working on something. But still greet you as soon as you come in the door and make sure you don’t wait for long . I really enjoy coming to this place. They treat us like family. The therapist and their assistant are also amazing. They know what they are doing. And they always make sure you feel comfortable.

Prior to starting Therapy, I had a Left knee ACL tear that required surgery. I was lacking confidence primarily in my ability to run, jump, going up and down stairs. My knee was constantly cracking no matter the activity. Walking for long distances was unbearable due to swelling and pain. My overall mood was down because of not being able to do activities. After finishing therapy, I have the confidence in my ability to run, jump and go upstairs. The cracking has fully stopped. I am able to walk long distances with ease. The swelling and pain have gone away. My overall mood has increased due to being able to do activities that I haven’t been able to do.

I was unsure of where I had pain in my shoulder, and how I was going to be able to fix it. Everyday routines were painful in shoulder motions that I never thought of, such as: making my bed or putting on a backpack. Since finishing physical therapy: I have a better understanding and learned information about my injury. Now I am able to do every day routines without pain.

There was pain in both the left and right knee. It affected my range of motion. If I were to stand for a prolonged time my knees would begin to buckle and hurt. The pain in my knees has completely subsided. We worked on numerous back and knee strengthening exercises which helped increase my range of motion and strength. I am now able to squat and support my body weight fully.

I was experiencing pain in my neck and lower back almost daily. In addition I had pain in my knees. I was unable to bend my knees, go up and down the stairs or stand for long periods of time. Since the physical therapy I’ve received I no longer encounter the constant pain in my neck or back. I am now able to go up and down stairs and have more motion and able to walk further without pain.

“My highest recommendation for Eric and the Performance Physical team of smart, dedicated, and friendly staff. My back problem had confounded two doctors, a physical therapist, and a trainer. I had sciatica and could not touch my knees without bending my legs, could not drive, and as a law student was unable to sit in class without extraordinary leg pain and disconcerting numbness. Luckily a physiatrist recommended I see a McKenzie certified physical therapist and I found Eric and Performance Physical.

Eric’s mastery of the back was evident from our first meeting. Eric diligently, through reasoned trial and error, began a course of therapy with me that saw immediate, though hard-earned, successes. It quickly began to look like I could heal without surgery. Eric and I worked very closely together. He educated me on my back and the sources of pain, so that we could navigate how to most efficiently cure my bulging disc through regular stretching, and, after the first couple of weeks, more rigorous exercise. It’s been about ten weeks, and I am pain-free the vast majority of the time (a six-hour plane ride did produce some very mild back pain), I can touch my toes with ease, and I’m exercising and running again. And Eric has given me the tools to keep my back strong in the future. I really appreciate the work, dedication, and care Eric and his staff have put into making me better without surgery. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.”

Before I started physical therapy I had difficulties when I woke up in the mornings. I had a lot of pain in my heel all of the time. I couldn’t walk very well, and also going up and down stairs was very difficult. After finishing physical therapy I am now able to walk 5 to 6 miles daily without pain. Thank you for all your help.

After undergoing a complete knee replacement I was in a lot of pain and not able to bend my knee or climb stairs. The entire staff of Performance Physical Therapy could not have done more to help me. The physical therapy care I received was excellent. I am now able to bend my knee and climb stairs. I would like to say, Thank you to everyone for my care and for helping me get better.

It seems as if the culture of outpatient physical therapy has been progressively shifting towards a focus on volume & quick turnover of patients rather than quality of treatment – but not at Performance Physical Therapy. I have been treated at PPT for chronic back and neck/shoulder injuries that other healthcare professionals and physical therapists had failed to address properly. There are no comparisons that can be made to the quality of services I received at PPT. Eric Goldberg (and the rest of the staff) take a personal interest in improving the quality of life of each patient and will work with you to accomplish YOUR goals for physical therapy. The evaluation and treatment is 100% patient specific – every person’s body is different and they do not try to generalize or assume what types of exercise, manual therapy, or modalities will work for you. The staff at PPT worked hard to help me return to a level of function that I never thought I’d have back and were more than accommodating with appointments that would fit my schedule. Most importantly, my PT was able to teach me how to manage my own pain effectively so that I can actively prevent reoccurrence in the future. Physical therapists that are dedicated to maximizing the patient experience, satisfaction, and quality of care versus the time constraints / financial obligations of a business are very rare, but you will find them at PPT.

After hurting myself at work, I couldn’t bend over or lift anything due to my back pain, and I could not work. After therapy, I can move my body without any problems, I now know how to lift properly, especially patients that need to help at my job, and I am back to work.

After my surgery, there were many things I could not do with my right leg. I had to use a cane to walk and I had a bad limp. Now I don’t have to use a cane, and my limp is gone. I have regained the muscle and strength in my leg, and I can even jump now.

When you are in constant pain and have no mechanism by which to make yourself feel better, a sense of hopelessness can set in.

When I reached out to physical therapist, Eric Goldberg, I had already unsuccessfully worked with another physical therapist, and had been told by two specialists that pain medication and, eventually, spinal fusion surgery were my only options for alleviating the back and leg pain that I had been suffering for a year and half. Worse yet, I had been advised that I would most likely be disappointed by the limited relief I would get after having had the surgery! Hopelessness had definitely set in…

From the first time I spoke to Eric, I felt like we were a team. He battled my insurance company to make sure that we could work together, and then we began a three-month search for non-surgical solutions to the pain I was experiencing as a result of my disc issues. During this time, Eric served alternately as teacher, detective, diagnostician, and coach. I walked away from this experience understanding my spine and the source of my pain, and equipped with the ability to self-diagnose on any given day and use the appropriate exercises, stretches and posture to alleviate my pain.

Yes, my back and leg still hurt sometimes, but most days I am 50% to 70% improved. And, now when I experience pain, I’m no longer afraid of it. I no longer feel the hopelessness that comes with an inability to help myself, and I’m certain that I can avoid surgery.

After this experience, I’m convinced that physical therapy works best when you are as committed to your own healing as your therapist is. Eric spent as much time talking to me about the results of the things we were trying as he spent coaching me through exercises and stretches. He didn’t just treat me, he partnered with me to find solutions.
