“The shoulder pain and tightness seems to be fading into the rear-view mirror! Amazing. Thank you for your expert help with this. I really appreciate your care, concern and professionalism. Pain is a real pain, and your work made a big improvement in my life. I will give a call if things turn backward, but this has been about 6 weeks of progress with no backsliding.”

“After having multiple knee surgeries, I was not eager to have another round of PT after my last knee replacement revision. I thought, oh no, same old, same old, so I decided to try BE Fit for my recovery. David was relaxed and soon we were almost enjoying the push and shove, bend and straighten, lift and hold, and the myriad of exercises that follow joint surgery, BE Fit is friendly, parking accessible,( a big plus), and offers a calm atmosphere. Aside from being a local lad, David brings a wealth of experience to the job, As they say, Buy Local…. buy BE Fit!”

“I went to BE Fit seeking improved mobility following a hip resurfacing operation. I had worked with two other physical therapists after the operation, and had many sessions of deep tissue massage as well, over the course of two years. Though the operation itself seems to have gone well, my mobility in general and stride in particular were limited and seemed to have plateaued. David got to the heart of the problem quickly and was extremely helpful in explaining what was going on and at providing therapy that I was able to comply with. I’m walking farther and faster than I have in several years, without pain. Plus, I made an overnight round trip to Westchester a couple of weeks ago and was pleased to realize that I had driven 4 hours each way in comfort.”

“I have enjoyed working with Steve Mann following my shoulder and rotator cuff surgery in early July. Steve’s professionalism. knowledge, kindness, enthusiasm, and encouragement, as well as his sense of humor, made the five month process a pleasure, and I shall miss him and our sessions. I also appreciate your cheerful treatment facility and helpful Kylie. My Friend, a former patient of yours, who had the same surgery. had been enthusiastic in her praise of BE Fit, and I shall certainly recommend BE Fit, and Steven in particular, to my friends. I am very grateful to be functioning well again and without pain. Thank you!”

“I worked with David to help eliminate knee pain. He’s worked with me in the clinic and has given me exercises to follow up with at home. David takes the time to discuss my concern with me. He works on different techniques during my clinic visits, and he gives sound advice. I appreciate that scheduling is flexible.”

“I was experiencing sleep interrupted by hip and shoulder pain, I could not bend to reach things on the floor, and I was generally uncomfortable, unable to exercise and moving about gingerly, I could not swim for even a short period of time without pain in my hip or shoulder. I made a phone call to BE Fit. To my surprise and pleasure, I was scheduled that day, after my first visit with Lois my pain level was half what it was when I arrived at BE Fit. They were respectful of my pain but taught (me) certain exercises, stretches and orderly procedures that on my own, I could use to control the pain. Now I am swimming and sleeping pain free.”
“I just wanted to say thanks again for all your help with my recovery. I was feeling pretty rotten when I first came back last winter – in pain but also frustrated and demoralized. The fact that I feel so much better is due in large part to your efforts, whether you were cajoling my arm into positions it couldn’t manage on its own, helping me get stronger, or just making me laugh. Not a lot of people make their work about helping others be healthy and feel better; even fewer are as good at it as you are.”

“I came to BE Fit with a knee injury from a skiing accident. David took time to understand and explain what he thought was happening with my joint. He not only prescribed a physical therapy regime, but he explained how the exercises could help me recover. Now I’m back on my feet and looking forward to an advanced mountaineering course followed by an attempt to summit Mount Hood in Oregon!”

“I brought my 13 year old son to BE Fit for a consultation because he was experiencing hip pain while playing youth soccer. BE Fit was able to listen to my description of his problem and then direct me to the appropriate services. I was unsure where to start. Over the phone I learned that because my son plays for Lighting Soccer he is eligible for a free consultation. I was able to get an appointment for the very next day, which I appreciated as each practice seemed to be getting worse for him. One of the therapists evaluated him and prescribed a series of stretching and strengthening exercises. We did and are still doing these exercises and the hip flexor pain has stopped. My son is now off and running (and kicking) for his spring soccer season.”
