I have never had to recover from a mobility impairing injury (hip fracture); and so there was a lot of uncertainty in dealing with the injury, potential complications, and recovery timeline to get back to normal.
The UOA physical therapist, Stephen Pavoni, had the experience and knowledge to properly diagnose my physical therapy needs and develop a plan to accelerate my recovery. Specifically, Steve assessed my range of motion limitations and performed the necessary manipulations to mobilize my joint. He also developed a set of exercises that would strengthen the hip joint and related muscle groups to enable my recovery. Importantly, at every session, Steve and his colleagues supervised my exercise routines and made nuanced adjustments to my technique.
When necessary, Steve was able to easily communicate with my UOA surgeon, Dr. Pushilin, and access related medical records to ensure continuity in my recovery.
Lastly, the UOA Somerset staff (receptionists and technicians) were always helpful, courteous, and supportive of my needs. Thank you!
I had a great experience with your physical therapist, Steve Pavoni. Steve was able to take me to the level of physical therapy, sports performance. Also, he was able to help with my exercise “form” and we “tweaked” my stretching routine. Thank you to STEVE!
Stephen provided excellent PT. He challenged me when he knew I was ready. He pushed me and provided me with exercises to do at home. I would highly recommend him!
I am extremely pleased with the rehabilitation services that I received after my total left hip replacement. My therapist, Stephen, was just SUPER! He was very friendly, fun, respectful and concerned for my well-being during my therapy. He thoroughly explained the exercises and why they were important for a successful recovery. He was a great coach and now I feel great too! Thanks so much!
Stephen is excellent in helping me with my sciatica problem. He gave me much encouragement to follow through and get better.
steStephen did a fantastic job on rehabilitating my knee. He was very enthusiastic about my full usage of my knee including my full range of motion on my right knee. Stephen is easy to communicate with and showed interest in my personal well-being.
Steve is a competent, caring physical therapist. He gives 100% effort to his patients. He asks the patient questions so his patients can get the best results! His work with me on Balance and Training, along with neck therapy has helped me make progress. He also designed an at home exercise program. I would highly recommend Steve!
I had an exceptional experience. Stephen was very informative and helpful. He showed me how to improve on my own and going forward.
