"I had never been to a physical therapist before and was throughly impressed with the care I received. Alex did a fantastic job at curating the proper treatment I needed over the 4 weeks I was going. I was skeptical going in but now if I ever need care in the future I have an amazing therapist to go to."

"Hess Smith Township Physical Therapy for me has been not only beneficial for healthier body strength and muscle strength I find it is also very educational in how one can maintain strength The therapists are very professional and very Knowledgeable in meeting all my needs and answering various questions I highly recommend this site for the care and the people. Smiles are common. The atmosphere is very clean and well organized I have had several surgical procedures and have had therapy for different parts of the body. I am well pleased having chosen this as my PT site. "

"Dr Dale is the G.O.A.T. He cares a lot about his patients and pushes us but not to where we are in pain. I recommend coming here. My knee has gotten a lot stronger after my ACL surgery in a short amount of time."

"My name is Carol Henn and I am a patient at the Allison Park office of Hess Physical Therapy. I have balance problems due to medication and knee problems. I am impressed with the one on one care I am given at Hess Therapy at a time when other medical facilities give you a very impersonal experience. Dr. Dale, who is in charge at the Allison Park office, is very knowledgeable and treats every patient as a member of his own family. He stresses the benefits of strong core muscles and making surrounding muscles stronger. I may never be a gymnast in the Olympics but I won't have to worry about ending up in the hospital with a broken hip."

I like the way the therapists jump on and help one another when things get busy. It's just one example of the friendly atmosphere."

"Just finished up 2 months of PT with the staff here and everything about this place is great. Jen does a great job with running the front desk. I mostly worked on my PT with Lysia and she would always listen to my questions & feedback and provide tons of knowledge as to what I need to do and how to do it in order to get better. She always took the extra time to make sure I had a program that worked for me. It was great working with her. Dan and Julie were also great to help out with anything at all. It’s a great vibe here. Everyone is so nice here and it makes the time fly by as you are getting your PT in."

"I was a co-worker with Dr. Dale and he is not only very highly knowledgeable about the human body and how to provide best practice to his patients, but he holds the qualities of compassion, patience, kindness, determination, and understanding. Dale puts his patients and practice before himself and takes the time to establish the most effective treatment plan not only tailored to the injury, but the patient as a person. I would recommend Dr. Dale over and over again and I know where to send my family members if they need physical therapy services. He is the best!"

"After rotator cuff surgery in February of 2024. I started therapy. Over the last 7 months the doctors have worked with me quite a bit to get my shoulder back to normal. The experience was wonderful they listened to my concerns about my job as a plumber the doctors worked with me to get me back to work. Overall, I am very pleased with my recovery. I will definitely recommend Hess Physical Therapy to all my friends and family."

"Both the receptionist Kathy and Dr. Chris are extremely kind and compassionate. Though my case was complex, Dr. Chris was still willing to take me on as a patient. I had previously went elsewhere and the patient care was not even close to what it was here. They truly care about your health and well being."

"Thank you Hess and team! I received exceptional care and treatment. I had an ankle surgery after a gnarly fracture from playing soccer. Alex took great care by evaluating my condition and executed an incremental and productive schedule of exercises that gave me my ankle back! Alex is very knowledgeable and you can see it directly in his work! I’m always curious and love to learn, Alex was very happy to share his knowledge from all the questions I would come to each session with. Jared was also a great help and took his time to make sure everything was done correctly. And beyond all the great care, Hess has an exceptionally friendly and personal atmosphere! Alex and Jared were easy to talk to and created a very comfortable place where I could focus on improvement. It was also fun to discuss Pirates baseball and everything right and wrong with the Pirates season. E=MC^2 I will look to get all future PT needs from Hess and highly recommend!"

"Hess PT in Crafton is by far the very best of the best!!! Caitlin, Andrew, Jessica, Jerad and front desk attendant Heidi go above and beyond when caring for their patients. This is my 4th experience with weeks of PT, this time for a knee replacement. And my first time using Hess in Crafton. Now I know the meaning of “REAL PT”. The staff works with you personally and never leaves your side. They consistently are there to make sure your every move is done properly. My past 3 experiences with weeks of PT doesn’t even come close to the care I’m receiving at Hess. There’s no complacency at Hess. They are 100% there to help you recover safely & properly. I highly recommend their care!! You will not be disappointed!! Beverly from Green Tree"

"This is my second successful time going to Hess for pt. This time I got to work with Alex and I started seeing him in March due to a pinched nerve in my back that ran all the way down my leg. Alex was very friendly and knowledgeable in the care he was going to do with my treatments. Alex is easy to talk to, willing to answer any questions, explains what he is doing and how it helps your body. I would recommend him to anyone and hope he continues on his journey to learning more about his craft. I also had the privilege of working with Jared who is still in school with some of my treatments. Very nice and easy to talk to about anything. Jared is always willing to be a helping hand and I hope his pt journey takes him far. I loved walking into the vibe of the music and all the therapist working together. Everyone is great with that close family vibe."

Not only has the staff taught me a lot about PT, but also helped me recover from several injuries in the past.

"This is my third time using Hess Physical Therapy. Once for my shoulder and twice for my knee. I have them very knowledgeable, competent, and professional while very personal. They can meet you at what level are and excellent about helping you reach your goals. I am very active and travel a lot and my needs can be very challenging. Dr Dale has been a great asset in helping me arrange my goals and has helped me avoid potential surgery. I have been to other Physical Therapy companies and never completed my therapy due to lack of personalization. You receive individual care no matter what level you are at. I cannot say enough positive things about the therapists. I must also say the Diane is excellent in helping facilitate whatever is required from dealing with physician offices, to scheduling to even the encouragement she gives. Rene Voelker"

"The first reason I chose to go to Hess PT was Diane, when I called around looking for a place to go, she was wonderful. She was very helpful, kind and the hours they have sessions available worked very well with my schedule. I spent over 6 months going to Hess PT and when I started after my knee surgery, I could not use my left leg and by the time I was done I walked out with no issues or pain. It was a long journey but the therapists I saw there were kind, compassionate and worked hard to get me back to normal activities pain free. Dr. Dale was the very best he listened, and each week worked up different exercises and challenged me but also made sure I never did too much! He is a kind, compassionate person who will help anyone who is willing to put in the time and effort! Thank you to for all the support, I would recommend Hess PT for anyone looking for physical therapy, it was a great place to go each week!"

You can tell that they really care about their patients and they put so much time and effort into each individual person. Everything is very personalized and it’s very comforting to know that someone is taking care of you when you’re not at 100%. Chris is a fantastic physical therapist. He’s very knowledgeable and will always greet you with the world’s worst “dad joke” when you come in. I used to dread going to physical therapy and now I actually look forward to it every week. Maybe it’s the new trivia question on the board that makes me feel so good about myself because I ALWAYS get them right, Or maybe the physical therapy really is just that good! Either way I will be continuing to go and I’m very thankful to have found the spot. If you’re in need a physical therapy you need to come here!!"

Nice facility, dedicated staff, flexible and prepared. I usually had the same staff who got to know me and tailored the program to my needs. My balance and strength have definitely improved. Tyler, Lisia and Dale were wonderful - each brought a slightly different perspective to therapy while staying consistent with the plan put together by Tyler. I have had Pt at other places where it felt like the therapists were “phoning it in.”That is not at all the case at Hess,. I recommend Hess highly!"

My Dr prescribed me for PT sessions and mentioned Hess as he had heard good things about them. I decided to go to the Kennedy facility and I'm really glad I did. The Staff was awesome and did a lot of one on one coaching. They did very well for me and got me where I needed to be. I will definitely recommend them to family and friends!"

He had me do different things and asked how they felt. He observed how I walked and stood. He really dug in and figured out what was needed in order to help. Then he clearly and carefully explained the goals of the therapy he was going to help me with. As we go he has continued to explain things and to listen. I very much appreciate the thoughtful communicative approach being taken. Also, the administration of the practice is well organized and efficient. They are easy to deal with and friendly."

"I’ve never done PT before this experience and I’ve been so impressed. I had a relatively minor hip pain that continued to flare up over months and finally decided to get evaluated. On the day I came in, I wasn’t experiencing any symptoms and felt worried that my issue wasn’t “bad enough” to warrant PT, but the staff took my concerns seriously and identified a few things about my strength and flexibility on my left side that I would never have seen on my own. The manual stretches and home exercises have been nothing short of amazing to help improve my stability and relieve the pain. I did see multiple staff during my time here, which I think isn’t the normal case, but they were all excellent. I would recommend Hess Physical Therapy to anyone."

"I have been a patient at Hess Physical Therapy (McKees Rocks location) three separate times over the past 5 years. The first two were of short duration to successfully treat a shoulder and elbow injury. Most recently, I was seen for several months to address a neck issue that was causing increased and severe radiculopathy in my arm and hand. I am happy to say that nearly all my neck and arm symptoms are now relieved, and I avoided a surgery I feared was imminent. From the day I started, the team at Hess suspected my arm issues originated in my neck, and they got me working right away on stretches, exercises – followed by more targeted approaches and mild traction. By the time I was able to process with my orthopedic evaluation, followed by X-ray, nerve tests and MRI, I was already starting to improve and continued to do so in the weeks that followed. The team at Hess is fun, caring, knowledgeable and professional. Over the years I saw Dr. Jess, Dr. Van, Dr. Christopher, and Dr. Julie. Each was great to work with and helped me tremendously. Special thanks to Dr. Julie who really stuck with me these last months, treating a condition that caused me a great deal of discomfort and concern. It's been a couple of weeks now since my therapy ended and I miss the time spent there. I meant it when I told them, I would stay in treatment until insurance made me stop. They are a fun group, with a shout out to Dan and his love of trivia, 70’s/80’s music and high school football rivalries. If looking for PT that is both caring and skilled, you have found it here."

What is most unusual are his empathy and personal care seldom found in a professional so young. Thanks to him, I am doing much better. I also want to mention Diane at the front desk.

"Due to multiple surgeries in the past couple years, two specifically on my hip and a spinal fusion, my recovery is not straight forward. To fix my type of issues, it takes a certain kind of person. Due to all the trauma my body has been through and chronic pain, I am weary of anyone trying to help because 1. I need to feel comfortable and assured that the person helping me is knowledgeable and skilled and 2. I feel comfortable in their care. The truth is that without those two things, my body is too tense to even release muscles or accept the help. I basically stop going (I have been to 10 different PTs) if those things are not there for me. Even if I feel weird vibes, I’m out… My goal is to treat the the root cause, not just address symptoms. I feel Dr. Eric does that perfectly for me. He is a great listener, is constantly shifting gears for all my random issues and is very confident with his manipulations, even when it’s painful… I know when I leave his office, I am not in pain anymore! He’s the real deal!! I have recommended him multiple times to others. P.S. I love his playlists… just my type of jams ✌️"

He helped me with some golfer/tennis elbow issues with a variety of exercises to build up the muscles and improve flexibility.

She not only addressed the issue I initially presented, she also provided helpful exercises for other issues I mentioned during our sessions. Overall, I wanted a set of exercises that I could continue doing at home once my allotted PT sessions ended. And that's exactly what I got!

"Started with Hess and Dr. Eric because of shoulder surgery. Wasn't expecting much to rehabilitation, getting my shoulder/arm back to "normal" was the objective. Could not have asked for a better outcome. Dr. Eric puts you through your paces but the end result is well worth the effort. He's not afraid to try different techniques to move you along. That's the key, continued forward progress. Now the "broken" shoulder works better than the other one! If I ever need physical therapy again I'll only go to Hess and Dr. Eric."

He is a great listener, motivator, professional and is very knowledgeable. He explains what exercises are needed and how they help me. He has not only focused on my injured knee, but incorporated exercises to strengthen other parts of my leg to set me up for long-term success. From day 1, Dr. Tyler made me feel validated. After various Dr visits and inconclusive tests prior to PT, I greatly appreciated his acknowledgement and awareness of my pain levels and limited mobility. Not only that, but Dr. Tyler is hands on with your exercises, in getting to know you, and in celebrating your successes.

"We started working with Dan Haas when I found out that my baby was breech. He helped my husband and me with spinning babies techniques and successfully got our baby to turn head down in just 5 days - right before our 37 week appointment! He continued to give weekly prenatal massages which were very relaxing as I had a lot of anxiety leading up to birth. He offered to doula our birth - my husband and I weren't sure at first since this was our 2nd child, however, we decided it would be great to have another advocate in the room. We did not regret it - Dan was amazing! He coached my husband on how to best support me and made sure I had everything I needed and was as comfortable as I could be. He communicated my needs to the nurse and staff to take that burden off of us. My husband says that he felt more involved in our 2nd child's birth than our 1st because Dan allowed him to be focused on my individual contractions and coached him how to best support me. My labor progressed very quickly - I had an unmedicated birth with staff running in at the last minute to help deliver the baby! After our daughter was born, I had great one-on-one time with her but was too uncomfortable to hold her during repairs, so her measurements were done during that time. Dan never left my side. It was great having him stay with me and comfort me while I was so uncomfortable and I felt supported while my husband could enjoy those first moments with our daughter during her measurements. My labor and delivery was so fast thanks to all of the prep work, spinning babies exercises to get baby into the right position, and relaxation from prenatal massages. I wouldn't change a thing about my birth - I felt I had an advocate, an extra voice, and so much support. We always say we couldn't have don it without Dan and we are so happy to have him a part of our daughter's birth story!"

"Both my son and I have been in to see Dr. Eric and we've both seen pretty significant results. My son was having some minor back issues after an ultimate frisbee fall and I have had some ongoing muscular skeletal issues for years. My son's issues resolved after only a couple visits. My pain, being more severe and with a much longer history has not completely resolved but I have seen tremendous improvement. Dr. Eric has worked with me not only on exact area of pain (my jaw), but also on my overall posture which seems to be contributing to the discomfort. I'll also say, I really appreciate the individualized care at Hess. I've been to a handful of other physical therapy practices over the years and sometimes I was bounced around from therapist to therapist or I'd only spend a few minutes with the therapist before being shuttled off to the assistant to do my exercises. That's not the case at Hess where I always feel like my care is the priority during the time of my appointment."

My physical therapist Dr. Tyler is wonderful! He pushes me while maintaining a great sense of humor. Dr. Tyler is very kind and knowledgeable. I ask him a lot of questions and he always takes his time to explain things to me. Dr. Gage is a great physical therapist that has a super funny sense of humor. He is also very knowledgeable and doesn’t mind helping me when needed. Heidi at the front desk is kind and considerate. She is the lynchpin that keeps the office humming and ties it all together. Everyone in this office is like a family. They have made it a great environment to get better. I know I can say after I finish my current therapy this will be a place I will return to when I need PT in the future."

"Had a fabulous experience here at Hess Physical Therapy. Came into the office for the first time with reservations because of my pain level. Dr. Eric provided an excellent service that I will recommend to anyone and everyone I hear that needs to go through the process of PT for their injuries. You get a one-on-one time slot where he devotes all his focus onto your need’s instead of multitasking and hopping from one patient to another. He is hands on and will teach you in detail about your specific injury so that you understand the anatomy of what’s involved. I learned about my injury in a way that I wasn’t expecting and now that I have graduated from PT I have the tools to continue the process on my own. Dr. Eric has given me my confidence back and has brought me to a level of function that didn’t seem possible given the extent of my injury. Highly recommend"

"I tore my achilles in May of 2021 and did a long stint of physical therapy with a different practice. After that was finished, I got back into my training and picked up a new martial art - only to realize that I had some lingering weakness and issues caused by the injury. Gage and the staff helped me identify the problem, correct it, and then provided me with new movements and training to mix in with my regimen. Their goal wasn't to keep me there as long as possible, it was to get me healthy and better than I was before. I'm now able to train with no pain, and performing complex movements that I wasn't able to do prior to the injury. Thank you Gage, Tyler, Heidi and the rest of the staff at Hess!!"

"5 stars for Dan Haas! I used Dan Haas during my last pregnancy for prenatal massages. I also had the pleasure of having Dan be my doula when I delivered my baby. I had horrible pregnancy induced carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand and arm. Dan worked on my carpal tunnel pain and greatly reduced the pain through his massage techniques. He also helped ease my back and hip pain. I also hired Dan to be my birth doula. Dan was a great doula as well. I had a complicated pregnancy and unexpectedly delivered my baby at 35 weeks. Dan was able to quickly get to the hospital when I needed him. Dan was there for me and comforted me during the whole delivery. He was very professional and followed all the visitor/doula guidelines at the hospital. I highly recommend Dan to any pregnant mama, whether it’s for prenatal massages or being their doula!

"I would highly recommend Dr. Eric as a physical therapist to anyone who wants a therapist who is committed to helping a patient achieve their maximum potential regarding pain relief and function. My personal experience started earlier this year when my right shoulder (dominant one) became painful and very limited in terms of range of motion. I was diagnosed with a rotator cuff tear and adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder) and was treated with an injection and given a script for PT. The pain was agonizing; not only did Dr. Eric with the help of Diane give me an immediate appointment, but they worked with me over a course of many physical therapy sessions to bring my shoulder back to a much improved functioning and pain free state allowing me to sleep without pain and be able to perform my usual activities with a remarkable improvement in my range of motion. I was given teaching on home exercises and a program to keep my shoulder functioning and pain free for the long term. I am highly satisfied with Dr. Eric's treatment of my shoulder and felt that his techniques and follow up are what made the difference. In addition, Diane was very helpful in giving me appointments which would work with my schedule and has been genuinely caring. I would highly recommend Hess/Dr. Eric for others with a need for physical therapy."

I. had been walking 3 miles a day, and when I started I was not able to walk down steps or even a small hill, and I was walking with a limp. Matt was able to understand all the mechanical issues that were going on with my knee and leg, and provided a well planned and precise therapy directed specifically for me.

I am grateful to have received hands-on guidance, as Dr. Jessica helped to stabilize and redirect my muscles/tendons to the proper position while using hand weights to strengthen my muscles properly. She trained me how to properly use elastic bands for regaining strength as well. I learned how to do the exercises on my own so I can continue these workouts at home. I received massage and stretching therapy from Dan for muscle relief, and I am so grateful for both of them!! My physician at Partners in Family Care recommended that I receive PT from Hess Physical Therapy, and I am very grateful for her recommendation and entrusting Hess PT for my care for recovery.

"Nothing but excellence from Dr. Eric and his crew! Each star represents one of the 5 C’s of Physical therapy. The first star is given for culture. From the first moment I stepped in the door my health was the number one concern. I quickly was able to grow a strong relationship with each member of the clinic. The next C stands for Creativity. I have been to many different PT locations and always seem to get the same type of treatment rather than be simple lunges or boring calf raises. However, at Hess PT I was able to get past the boring exercises and focus more on my core and other smaller things that can be causing my pain. The 3rd C stands for cleanliness. Physical therapy can be a little gross at times as you are constantly touching the same weights and using the same tables. That being said that’s not the case at Hess PT. There are cleaning wipes used on every piece of equipment after use. Also, the air in building smells fresh and cool. The 4th C stands for consideration. Dr. Eric is able to adapt to every kind of situation. He is able to help me, as a teen with back pain, then go help and elderly women who has troubles pushing her shopping carts. The last and most important C stands for communication. I have to say when I first met the staff I do not recall them stating their names but that was the only blunder that they showed in the communication field. I have not missed a single appointment as they always send reminders about dates and times. That can be attributed to the wonderful secretary who Is always extremely pleasant.

Dr. Matt Melczak at Hess PT took a different approach than I was used to and because of that, we were able to make large, significant improvements in just 2 months. He was able to zero-in on the exact source of the pain (something that previous PTs were unsuccessful with) & establish a 6-8 week program to address the pain ranging from my neck, through mid back, to my lower back by focusing on improvements in flexibility, mobility, and strength. I appreciated his approach of explaining the issues he sees, using props as needed, and detailing how his treatments/exercises would work to relieve pain in the short & long-term. He also takes a personal approach to his profession & you can tell he actually enjoys his job; contrary to a lot of medical professionals nowadays that act like programmed robots being forced to treat people against their will.

For anyone with any PT needs, I would highly recommend Hess Physical Therapy, from owner George down to all staff, they are all great and truly care about helping their patients. Thanks! Nick"

"I have been suffering from hip issues and terrible pain for the past 1 year starting from february of 2021. I had multiple consults between multiple orthopedic doctors , orthopedic surgeons and physical therapists at all the hospitals in the region . I was unable to get a correct plan from any of the physical therapists regarding the pain as the ortho doctors were suggesting a hip replacement but the ortho surgeons were against a hip replacement due to my relatively younger age and whatever the PT were suggesting was actually not getting rid of the pain. Oct 2021 I had a consult with Dr. Eric that included some deep tissue massage , back alignments and was very satisfied with the PT plan that he came up with . February of 2022 I am almost completely pain free and very happy that I was able to .work with Dr Eric . Dr. Eric is best in the area."

"Had major surgery on my right shoulder mid-December 2021. After 5 days in the sling it was time for physical therapy. It was recommended that I go to Hess because of a former patients testimony about this place. What a transformation from my first visit to the last. I didn't think that I would ever have the mobility and strength brought back as quickly as I did. Dr. Eric and Kelly were both instrumental in my recovery, I felt a sense of accomplishment on each and every visit. They took a personal interest in my getting back to a more mobile and stronger shoulder. It was a relationship that I didn't receive at other PT offices. I enjoyed Dr. Eric changing the workouts to make it interesting and challenging, it never was stale. Though it wasn't always easy it was was worth every second to know that our focus and goal was to allow me to enjoy my life after surgery and not be in pain or immobile. I'm not completely through with my therapy, there will be exercises to do at home but even here I was given instruction and printouts and equipment to continue with my rehab - who does that!? My thanks to Hess Physical Therapy's Dr. Eric and Kelly for being the best teammates you could have to get you well again."

I waited 3 weeks to post so that I had a ‘true’ review to post. I am consistently pleased with every aspect of this practice. From Heidy at the efficient desk to Dr. Tyler whose care plan is making a difference in my significant pain levels to Dr. Gage who greets me daily as if I were his patient. A smooth running operation that makes you feel like you are spending time with friends. Who just happen to be making your needs their priority. As an administrative therapist ( speech / language) myself, I know the ‘back story’ of what it takes to create efficiency in scheduling, flexibility, and ( the bane of existence) paperwork / documentation. They make it look easy - and it’s not."

"I've been dealing with what I called "sleep injuries" for a long while — I'd wake up in the morning with neck, back, and shoulder pain for no good reason. In January, I had such bad pain and hand numbness that I finally went to a doctor and she referred me to physical therapy. When I first went to see Dr. Eric, I couldn't use a knife and fork or drive without being in pain. Now, a month later, I'm 80%+ better with improved mobility and posture and very little pain and stiffness. My hand isn't numb anymore and the tingling is almost gone. The combination of massage, strength training, and functional mobility exercises have made such a huge improvement and I'm surprised every day by how much of a difference I've seen and felt. Dr. Eric and Kelly are both friendly and welcoming, and despite the experience not always being the most comfortable — those muscle knots are no joke! — I've been grateful for their help. I'd recommend going to them for your physical therapy needs and I wish I'd gone in sooner!"

"I went to Hess Physical Therapy for back pain which was preventing me from doing basic activities like driving, standing, and walking for extended periods of time. I also strive to workout 4 or 5 times a week which wasn't possible due to my back pain. Dr. Eric gave me significant pain relief within the first few weeks of treatment which allowed me to resume all of my normal activities, including my workout routine. I've been to physical therapy over the years for various issues but my experience at Hess was by far the best. Dr. Eric gives you personal attention during your entire therapy session. I've been to other physical therapy clinics where they've had me basically go through the exercises with very little supervision. Dr. Eric was the exact opposite in that he supervised all of my exercises which allowed him to correct any mistakes I was making. He's also a very "hands on" therapist in terms of the manual work he does. He stretched me out and did a number of manipulations to correct my misalignments. He's very knowledgeable and also just a super nice guy. Kelly oversees the front of the clinic and she does a wonderful job scheduling and making you feel welcome. She also helped work me into the schedule several times when I had scheduling conflicts. I would recommend Dr. Eric and Kelly to any of my family or friends that might need physical therapy."

"Dr Eric is simply the best physical therapist, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. I started experiencing sciatica pain on one side and overall muscle pain/weakness 5 months ago, that prevented me from running. Running isn’t just exercise for me. It grounds me and calms my mind, no matter how chaotic life can get. So I was at an extremely low point in my life 7 wks ago when I started PT, both physically and mentally. Dr Eric is patient, kind, and extremely knowledgeable. Based on the initial evaluation, which isn’t rushed, he creates an individual action plan to get you back on your feet. Mine wasn’t targeted only to the symptoms, but also to helping me get back to running. He’s really hands on and gradually empowers you to understand what your body is telling you when you’re in pain and use the tools that you’ve learned to help yourself. I started running again after 3wks of PT with Dr Eric. There were good days and bad at first, but he helped me work through the bad days, strengthen areas where I was weak, and understand signs where my lower back was compensating that I would have previously ignored. I feel stronger than I have in a really long time and am back to running daily. Thankfully I now know how to manage the sciatica symptoms if/when it flares up and don’t have to stop running again when it does."

She stated Hess PT in Allison Park and is so pleased with her experience. I have had PT in the past for a prior L total knee replacement. I became disappointed finding that I was one of many patients being treated. It usually was a different therapist each visit. I decided to give Hess a try. My wife called to schedule and left a message. To our surprise, a call back was within minutes. I was scheduled and met Eric, the therapist for me. He is patient, knowledgeable and never rushes through treatments. I have had 6 weeks of PT with Dr Eric and was impressed with the one on one care with only Eric.

"I just want to testify to how great Hess Physical Therapy is. Kelly and Dr. Eric are both awesome people, very personable, very outgoing, easy to talk to but most important of all they are excellent at their respective jobs. Kelly handled all my insurance needs quickly and competently, she let me know what was covered and what wasn't and what my costs were going to be. She made the paperwork and questionnaires easy to do and she also patiently managed to help me schedule appointments around my busy schedule which is no easy task, always with a smile and a great attitude. Then there's Dr. Eric! I had arthritis in both knees and he told me right away that if I did what he asked that for sure I would be stronger at the end but that he couldn't guarantee that my pain would be gone. Well my right knee is 95 % back to normal and my Left knee is definitely improving but still gives me pain. Like Dr. Eric says though, my knees didn't get this bad overnight so it may take some time. He amazes me with his knowledge of human anatomy but even more than that is his ability to actually listen to what you say and put it to use. Every day he asks how you are and what changes you have noticed then you can see him think about what you said and maybe right then and maybe 5 minutes later he will modify what you are doing based on what you told him, and guess what? It works!!! I never had much faith in foam rolling or stretches but they actually work. You can tell he is compassionate and really cares about his patients by the time he takes with each person he sees. He answers all and any questions you have and takes the time to make sure you understand what he has said, and the same with anything he sends you ho me to do. As the public face of Hess, Kelly and Dr. Eric are truly great assets to this business and I would recommend them to anyone for their physical therapy needs."

Fortunately, staff members such as Dr. Jess have actually taken anatomy courses and studied hard - and she recognized my symptoms as being congruent with a condition that did not require surgery. She worked to help my body come back into line and relieved the pain after a few sessions. I'm working on learning some new exercises and postures that will help me to maintain this pain-free status.

"Following my second rotator cuff repair surgery within 7 years, I started PT with Dr. Eric on the recommendation from a neighbor. Thanks to Dr. Eric I was able to regain full range of motion and strength much quicker than after my first surgery. I did however suffer a setback during my shoulder therapy due to lower back and neck pain. He switched the therapy to resolve my back pain in a short amount of time and then continued therapy on my shoulder. I know from my first surgery and from my surgeon that it takes up to a year to fully recover and because of Dr. Eric I’m well on my way. I highly recommend to anyone suffering from pain and in need of therapy to consult with Dr. Eric at Hess Physical Therapy. You won’t regret it.

"I injured my lower spine this past winter and have been experiencing considerable pain off and on over the past few months. X-Rays showed issues with L4, L5 & S1. Dr. Eric Steglmeier reviewed the prognosis from the x-ray information that I provided him along with that from my PCP. After that, Eric asked me to explain in detail exactly how my injury was affecting me. From that information Eric started out with basics to strengthen my core and to better understand the issues I was having. With each session, Eric made adjustments after discussing my fitness and reviewing any changes to my condition. After 20 sessions and following home exercises as prescribed by Dr. Eric I can honestly say that I'm feeling substantially better than I've felt in the past 4 months. Eric illustrates that he is exceptionally knowledgeable and cares for the well- being of his patients. I would highly recommend Dr. Eric to everyone experiencing back or other related injuries that require physical therapy. In addition to being a great doctor, Eric is extremely personable, maintains a relaxed environment for his patients and has some good music playlists to relax you as you workout or get worked on.

He knows the body and provides critical stretching and exercises specific to his patients without overwhelming them with numerous homework techniques that often discourages them from helping themselves. Some people listen to their trainers to help fix their problem. Don’t make that mistake. They are not qualified to assess and lessen your pain. Dan Abruzzo"

"I am so grateful for Hess PT, and specifically Dr. Matt and team over at McKees Rocks. They helped me feel stronger and without pain after a few weeks following a 3-month old injury I finally sought treatment for. While I know that not all results will be the same and we all heal differently based on the situation, but this team IS a gift. They made PT fun and supportive and work within my busy work schedule, which made it a much smoother process than I'd originally anticipated. It’s evident they truly care about their patients. And let’s not forget the Face of the Place, Diane! She always greets you with a smile and a friendly conversation. Hess is a model in my eyes for how patient care should be done! And I even enjoyed interactions with other patients. THANK YOU!"

"I chose Hess PT after being diagnosed with a rare disease (diabetic amyotrophy) which damaged the nerves in my right leg and left it largely paralyzed. Upon entering Hess PT, Dr. Eric Steglmeier researched this rare disease and formulated a treatment plan. After eight weeks of intensive therapy, I WALKED out of Hess PT with enough capability to resume much of my life activities. Dr. Eric also provided a plan for continued exercises to regain FULL recovery. Dr. Eric is a knowledgeable and highly capable clinician. I strongly recommend him for anyone requiring PT."

Thanks to Dr. Eric, Kelly and Josh, I have gained strength, flexibility and my knee bend is 110 and I am confident it will increase. Dr. Eric is extremely knowledgeable and personable. He knows what exercises to prescribe and is very good at manipulating the knee at the beginning of the sessions. I know I could not have found a better place to do PT. I highly recommend Dr. Eric and his staff. Great people. I cannot thank Dr. Eric enough. He has great music on too."

I went to Hess physical therapy last month since I was experiencing severe pain in my right shoulder. I was not able to move my right arm much. I went in with some skepticism and apprehension not sure that this would help me. I was totally wrong. After only 2 sessions with Dr. Eric, my shoulder pain had improved significantly. Dr. Eric is very knowledgable, professional and personable. The treatment he devised for me has been so good that my shoulder is almost 100% pain free in only 4 weeks. Thank you so much Dr. Eric. I would also like to thank his colleagues, Kelly and Josh(Student intern) for helping me in my recovery. I highly recommend Dr. Eric and Hess Physical Therapy to anyone needing physical therapy."

Not only as a learning environment, but also the general atmosphere. It's a very laid back clinic but still very efficient. Dr. Eric is a fantastic clinician and teacher. I learned a lot in the classroom, but being able to work under Dr. Eric has given me even more tools to use in the clinic and has made me a more critical thinker when it comes to assessment, treatment, and patient management. Kelly Is a great PTA and was always there to help me in the clinic when things got too busy to handle. I have witnessed plenty of patients come into the clinic with pain and Dr. Eric was able to make immediate changes to relieve some of their pain. He is able to give every patient his full attention and best care. I enjoyed going into the clinic every day and wouldn't have wanted to go anywhere else for a better experience."

I chose Hess Physical Therapy and I couldn’t be more satisfied with my progress. I could tell after only my first session that I was in good hands. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and they’ve helped me get back on my feet, literally and figuratively. I’m just a few short weeks of working with Dr Eric, Josh, and Kelly, I am back on the soccer field. The biggest difference for me was getting my confidence back.

I had my knee partially replaced in Florida this past winter- it did not go well, I apparently formed scar tissue against the new knee implant and it was extremely painful. I stayed in Florida for 4 months trying to find a solution, the best they could do was a technique called Graston and it helped but was not the total answer. I had to return home to Pittsburgh and I googled scar tissue mobilization - Hess Physical Therapy in Crafton and Dan Haas' name came right up. It was very convenient for me so I started with them. What a good decision- Dan used ASTYM- a newer scar tissue technique, and it helped immensely. Dr Gage is a young breath of fresh air, he really knows his stuff and gets right to the root of the problem or problems in my case. It is a friendly, welcoming and healing place...."

As a former patient at other clinics, I can say with confidence that Dr. Eric is distinctive with his skills and approach to treatment. He dedicates one on one time with each patient and goes beyond to ensure that his patients are educated about their condition and plan of treatment. This is a huge contrast to my own experience as a patient at other bigger clinics where patients were left alone to do the exercises and had minimal interaction with the PT. If I had known about Hess when I was a patient, I 100% would have come here. Both Dr. Eric and the front desk staff, Allison, are incredibly friendly and welcoming. Throughout my time observing at Hess PT, I have seen amazing progress and transformations from patients' first days to their last discharge days. Not only that, but Dr. Eric's eagerness to teach and explain procedures to me as a student clearly illustrates his vast knowledge and passion for this field. At Hess PT, you will undoubtedly gain the benefits of a small clinic with individualized attention and care from a truly skilled clinician!"

The presence of this hardware resulted in daily pulsing nerve pain emanating from the toes of my left foot, which I was unable to relieve for over a decade. I saw the ad for pain management from Hess Therapy who had an office in my Allison Park neighborhood, made an appointment, attended a preliminary evaluation session in April of 2021and soon thereafter began treatment. Within 2 visits, the foot pain began to ease and after six weeks of treatment I feel that this problem has been 90% alleviated, thanks to Dr. Eric Stiglmeier's excellent therapy program. My balance skills have also improved significantly as well. Dr. Eric's skills as a therapist are remarkable to observe. He is a multi-tasker, easily directing therapy programs for two or sometimes three patients at a time, providing hands-on massage techniques to one patient while correcting exercise techniques on another. He has excellent people skills, motivating each patient in a manner that best encourages each to achieve optimal results from exercise routines prescribed by him. I have been promoting Dr. Eric to the folks in my senior men's fellowship at our weekly meetings, resulting thus far in one new Hess Therapy patient and the possibility of many more if my selling skills are still on par.

I was sleeping with an ice pack and taking pain killers 24/7. An MRI pretty much pointed to shoulder surgery which I was avoiding like the COVID! I got a flier in the mail from Hess Physical Therapy and thought what the heck -I’ll give it a try. During my initial consultation with Eric he examined me and pretty much called out everything the MRI told us. Six weeks later my shoulder is almost totally pain-free. I will never have completely pain free due to my age (63) and the damage done from my injury but I am 150% better than my first visit! No more ice packs, no more pain killers!

The previous therapist ended up getting way too aggressive and ended up breaking one of my toes in the process. This required yet another foot surgery this year to repair the previous PT's damage. I chose Hess PT this time and my only regret was not using them originally back in 2019 as I would have saved myself a second surgery. Dr. Eric pushed me beyond what I would normally push myself but also understands what is too far. Both Dr. Eric and Allison were great to work with.

I didn’t have high hopes cause I’ve been to therapy before for approximately 1&half years. I’ve got distonia and it has been getting worse as time goes on. It was from a Prescription called Regan. Anyway I met with Dr. Eric and made several observations and told me what he could help me with and how. I figured what the heck I’ll try anything at this point My next neurologist appointment wasn’t til May. Looked like another pill. We started slow and easy as to not cause any pain. He moved my arm in various ways checking my range of motion without pain. Then began with various stretching motions and continued to add more stretching movement to the plan he kept adding more and different stretching exercises things start improving rather quickly in the. I’ll make a long story short I couldn’t be more happy with the the improvements have gotten my pain level has decreased by half my range of motion has increased by Jabal my strength has doubled I feel so much better. I feel like there’s actually hope for me and my goal is to take up golf again and I’ll see either air might be a good chance there’s a light there and I’m not near as depressed as I once was as I know that he’s take me on the right journey of very happy to have met his acquaintance and have his professional guidance I don’t know what I’ve done with time I personally know him a great deal of gratitude and thanks and Allison two she’s been a big help.

He took the time to get to understand my situation, what I have been through, and assess the problems going on in my lower back since being fused from L3- to my tailbone in 2019. Without question, he is very professional, personable, and definitely knows what he is doing!! Additionally, thanks to Eric, he has me functional again!! I would highly, highly, highly recommend going to see Eric at Hess Physical Therapy in Allison Park!!!!! Thanks Eric for helping me be functional again!! I will definitely be back once I have my knee surgery!!! You Rock!!!!"

"I started at Hess Physical Therapy about two months ago and as a person who is unfamiliar with the Pittsburgh area, I chose this office based on the good reviews. It turns out, I am extremely happy with my decision. Following knee surgery, Dr. Gage has greatly contributed to my rehabilitation with his knowledge, skills, and (corny) jokes. His therapy is very patient-centered and he goes above and beyond to help patient's meet their goals. I am very grateful for my experience at Hess PT and I would definitely recommend! :)"

They went out of their way to check on me, and they really put their patients first. I'm glad that I was introduced to Hess PT."

I came to Dr. Eric with Rheumatoid Arthritis with much pain both in my neck and shoulders with very little range of motion, barely able to turn my neck or raise and use my arms! Dr Eric has changed that for me, I know have new strength in my arms and my neck is now more flexible , able to go from side to side for first time in a very long time!!!!! I am learning why and how I can exercise and work my muscles correctly to benefit me and keep me moving! Dr Eric is able to share his understanding and knowledge clearly and his personal manner is unmatched!!! I also came to Dr Eric with vertigo , something I lived with for a long time , realizing now vertigo was a huge part of my health issues! Dr Eric assured me and explained to me exactly what this was and how he could change this for me!! Just after 2 visits I now live WITHOUT vertigo ❤️ I would say if you are struggling in pain , don’t wait another day , call Hess Physical Therapy and make an appointment with Dr. Eric , it surely will change the quality of your life❤️❤️"

"I went to the Allison Park office for my first appointment in so much pain and very depressed. I am a very active person who, for the past 6 months has not been able to exercise or do the things that I love. My sciatic pain was so intense and after attending a few sessions at a UPMC facility, I felt no relief. I was skeptical about going to another PT Clinic. A good friend talked me into going to Dr. Eric Stiglmeier at Hess Physical Therapy. She promised me great results if I followed his program. I went to therapy 3 times a week for 6 weeks and had great results. I was very impressed with Dr. Eric and the personal attention that he gives to all of his patients. He is very professional and well educated. He is a true "Miracle Worker" and I can't thank him enough for giving me my life back. Allison, the receptionist was also very helpful and well organized. She took care of all of my insurance needs, I did not have to do a thing. She is always friendly and cheerful, I enjoyed talking with her every week. I highly recommend Hess Physical Therapy. I promise that you will not be disappointed. Joey Weber"

Someone recommended Hess physical therapy for my rehabilitation and that was the best advice I’ve had in a long time! I received a phone call prior to my first visit from Allison, she’s was so helpful and took care of all the behind-the-scenes details so I can concentrate on my therapy. I was introduced to Dr. Eric and was immediately impressed with the one on one attention that I was given. Dr. Eric’s knowledge of how the human body reacts to surgery and what it takes to get it back to where It needs to be is simply amazing. My progress so far has been outstanding and I will be forever grateful for the care provided by Dr. Eric.

He has expertise in a wide variety of areas and excels in each of them. Michelle is great to talk to and makes you feel at home. She makes you feel like you and your struggles matter when you walk through their doors. She will always be the first person to greet you with a friendly smiling face when you come for your appointment!

His expertise, patience, and encouragement made all the difference to my recovery. Thank you Van for being my biggest cheerleader! A shout out to Kelly too - the "sunshine" in the workout room! Thank you all!!"

"I found both Eric and Drew to be very knowledgeable in their field. They were able to answer my questions in terms I could understand, as well as locate the real source of my pain with suggestions for improvement. The many different exercises worked on different parts of my body. I never realized that my poor posture and inactivity were factors causing my pain. Gradually I became more aware of my body parts. The set of papers with recommendations to do at home were very helpful. I'm grateful for their inspiring confidence in myself which motivated me to exert myself more, and achieve my goal of eliminating my pain. I actually look forward to keeping my appointments knowing that I would feel better the next day. Both men used their sense of humor to relax me while in class, and perform better. I would recommend Hess Physical Therapy to others. In fact, I shared much of what I learned with another person where I live. All of this would have been possible if it were not for the open house they offered a month ago in which Eric gave an excellent presentation about overcoming pain and imbalance. I'm glad I came. Drew was so patient and understanding. He gave me many hard exercises which paid off. Thank you Hess for being in the area to relieve pain."

During this time, he came to my house with all of his equipment & spent a very generous amount of time doing an exceptional prenatal massage, reflexology where appropriate, and even hypnosis. I love Dan's level of expertise in working with pregnant moms & his passion to continue to build & expand his education. He knows how to safely & effectively care for pregnant clients, he makes the experience of pregnancy so much more enjoyable & pain-free. I love his dedication to providing a comfortable & caring setting. Dan is incredibly skilled & knowledgeable in his trades. He graciously offered to doula my birth, and continually checked in on me throughout my pregnancy, birth & afterwards. I just experienced my first regular massage from Dan since my birth. It was amazing! I will continue to schedule massages with Dan. He is a wealth of knowledge & talent. He will take wonderful care of you. Dan is a diamond in the rough. Thank you Dan for helping me feel my best & making me a better mom. -Laura B"

This summer, I saw an ad on Facebook for a free clinic for shoulder pain evaluation. After attending the clinic, I started therapy with Dr. Eric- he is both professional and knowledgeable. His initial evaluation was thorough. He listened to my concerns while performing his asssessment. Through massage, manipulation and strength exercises, the pain has subsided. My range of motion has improved. I am able to raise my arm to wash my hair and reach shelves with no pain. I would highly recommend Hess Physical Therapy and Dr. Eric. I would also like to commend his interns, Orrin and Drew- good luck to you both."

My personal journey started after rod & nail insertion surgery for a spiral fractured right humerus, which while securing the bone to enable healing, left my arm & shoulder with strength & mobility issues. During my initial consult with Dr Jess, she assessed my surgery records, my range of motion, pain level, my expectations & goals and set my PT plan in motion. PTA Kelly & Dr Van were instrumental in my therapy sessions...always cognizant of my comfort and progress. Encouraging me to the next level.

Dr. Eric is very patient and extremely capable and competent. He explain the correct way to follow through with what he is working on. I appreciate the fact that he has provided me with some instructions on what I can follow-up on at home. I cannot believe the improvement I am experiencing! Hess Physical Therapy is located in Allison Park and we are so fortunate in having Dr. Eric as our physical therapist. I for one can only say thanks for the help."

"The BEST place to go for therapy is Hess PT. My PCP gave me a diagnosis of piriformis syndrome and sent me to Hess PT. Before I started PT had pain in my lower back radiating to my groin and pelvic area. In a matter of a few weeks working with Dr. Matt I was 70% pain free. Today was my last day (2-21-20) no pain at all, my range of motion had significantly improved and I was sent off with exercises to do at home for strenthening. Not only do they have knowledgeable Doctors but their staff is also helpful and amazing. You leave there feeling like a part of their family. Thanks Dr. Hess for having such an awesome crew!"

She hit every problem After 8 surgeries I was off balance, had a poor gait, and fell a lot breaking more bones. She targeted these problems with all her knowledge and I'm already getting better. She truly wants her patients better and works with you every step of the way. The rest of the staff are also excellent. They will work around your schedule. I highly recommend this office and know I will get better! I'm even panning to go back to work full time soon. Thank you Dr. Jessie."

Their approach to constantly monitor and challenge me has helped us, as a team, to hasten my recovery. The care and direction I get is as complete and 'spot on' as any non-doctor patient can know.

I came to the Crafton office and was treated my Dr. Ian for over two months. Dr. Ian was the most caring, personable person I could have asked had. He was very concerned with my progression, and was not going to be satisfied with lowering my pain level he wanted to get me to be pain free. I can report today three months after I stopped treatment that I am still currently pain free!! I have been to Hess Physical Therapy Crafton for other treatment, so has my husband and mother and we will continue to use Hess should the need arise and have recommended it to others and will continue to do so.

"I initially started at Hess after knee replacement surgery last January. Unfortunately my orthopedic doctor did not prescribe physical therapy until about 2 weeks after the surgery. When I started at Hess at that time I was introduced to Dr. Ian. I can honestly say he was a miracle worker in getting my knee to where it is now. I then had problems with my right shoulder and arm so we began a new treatment for those - slight tear in rotator cuff, arthritis and bursitis. Again Dr. Ian was able to get it so that I do not have constant pain - so after almost a year at Hess Physical Therapy in Crafton I was released. I enjoyed my workouts there - even though they were painful at times. I especially appreciated all the employees at the Crafton location - from Diane who was always so friendly, to Kelly who gave great massages, to Dr. Megan who filled in a few times for Dr. Ian and for Darlene who was a great help in a lot of areas. But Dr. Ian was a Godsend - he was a great listener and comforter when I was frustrated or overwhelmed. In summary, I would not hesitate recommending Hess Physical Therapy in Crafton.

They were funny when I needed funny and firm when I needed that extra push. They were that group of people that you come to trust because they were right! (Including the front desk staff because she was great too) I went from barely walking post op to feeling stronger than I have in YEARS, in just 2 1/2 months. Ultimately, I spent the most time with Dr. Eric and he was a new addition to the practice at the time. He handled everyone professionally and knowledgeably in his transition and I learned tons about balance, my knees and how everything works together, from him. Turns out, the better you understand what’s going on in there, things get less scary.

"When I just began going to Hess, my back was killing me and I wasn’t able to do a lot of certain things. Just after the first week or so I started to feel better already. By the time my few weeks were over I was able to go back to doing regular activities that my back was preventing me from doing before. Now I can workout and play basketball as much as I want and I feel great. Everybody at Hess is so nice and helpful. I felt welcomed the moment I walked through the door and met everyone. I will always refer people to Hess if they ever need any type of physical therapy. Thank you to everyone that helped me through this journey!"

Many things in the workshop hit home for me and I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Dulak. Dr. Dulak evaluated my condition and came up with a treatment plan to get me back to normal. He listened to any of my concerns or issues as they arose and modified my treatment as needed. The entire staff does a great job of taking care of the patients needs."

He explained the way my muscles worked, explained why I did things, most of all he motivated me to be able to do it. At one point my lower back started to hurt from doing steps at home. He watched me do steps and taught me how to do it right and I no longer had the back pain.

Dr. Sean really took the time to listen and understand all of my issues to come up with the best course of treatment for me.

"Through most of my adult life I have had heel pain. I was diagnosed as having heel spurs or planter fascitis and flat feet. I've tried different shoes with some improvement, worn braces and shoe inserts, heel cups etc. The pain would always return. My physician suggested physical therapy. I was a little reluctant having gone through this years ago at another facility with mixed results. I had heard good things about Hess and decided to go there. I was introduced to Doctor Jessica Papale D.P.T. After following her instructions and physical therapy, my foot pain was gone. She also gave me one simple exercise to maintain my strength and to prevent the return of the pain. It all worked! More recently my knee pain got worse. I had periodic knee injections that helped but not enough. I went back to Hess and made an appointment with Jessica. I have just finished my physical therapy and can already feel much improvement. Jessica worked on the "mechanics" of my movement, correcting what I did wrong and gave me exercise to strengthen the muscles. She was with or watching me most of the time to make sure I was doing it right. When she was not available, another therapist would step in. She was with me every day and did not just hand me off to lower level staff as other clinics have done. She loves her work, knows what she is doing, is a good listener and really cares about people. I don't want to forget the others at Hess. They are all fine people, highly skilled and a pleasure to work with from the front desk to the back of the exercise room. 5 stars all!"

Jess put me through a series of movement tests. She knew exactly why this was occurring and designed a personal program for me to "fix" my problem. I had been sitting incorrectly for years because my pelvis was tilted forward due to my incorrect posture. The pulsating probes from the TENS with heat, followed by incredible deep tissue massage by Dan, followed by the exercises, Jess's manual manipulation and my diligent practice of sitting correctly by tilting my pelvis back, I feel like new again. Jess is a master in PT and Dan is a master in massage, but I feel that the entire staff at HESS is the BEST!!!"

The other surgeries, I was able to recover from quickly. I had severe pain in my thumb and the only option that I had was PT. So, I searched for a Physical Therapy office in the Pittsburgh area and found Hess Physical Therapy. I read their review and decided to give the office a call. The office staff was very accommodating. I have a super busy schedule and they were more than willing to accommodate my crazy schedule. When I arrived for my 1st appointment, I was called back within 5 minutes. I met Dr. Andrew and he evaluated my poor, sore, thumb. He explained to me the course of action that we were going to take to improve my situation. For the next 5 weeks, 3 times a week, I attended PT. We did exercising, heat therapy, stim, and massage for my hand. After 5 weeks of following Dr. Andrew's advise, my thumb is healed and is working properly. Hand down (no pun intended) Dr. Hess's Pysical Therapy office is the best in Pittsburgh. I have pain in my neck and I will be going back to Dr. Andrew for PT. I know I am in good hands at Hess."

"Throughout my entire experience with Hess Physical Therapy I have been impressed with the excellent level of customer service from every employee I encountered. I suffered a back injury that was very debilitating. My physical therapist, Sean, worked with me to divise a plan of action to get back to the the aggressive and high level fitness regiment I was previously training at. Sean used innovative and effective rehabilitation strategies to get me back to where I wanted to be. He monitored all of my progress and gave a lot of attention not just to my rehabilitation program, but to my overall well-being. In time, Sean helped me recover from the injury and conquer the residual pain and discomfort that is all too common with back injuries. Now I am back to level of training I was at prior to the injury and I am very thankful for my experiences at Hess Physical Therapy. The staff I had the pleasure of working with were all genuinely caring and friendly people.

My experience at Hess has been wonderful. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Dr. Jess was fantastic. I had so much trouble with simple tasks like getting out of a chair/couch, turning in bed, and picking something up off the floor. Now I can do all of those things with ease! I had an enjoyable experience and would not hesitate to return. The program was detailed and very thorough. I give Hess Physical Therapy and the staff a 10+.

My story is long. I knew about Hess PT because of a back injury that I had 6-7 years ago, so I knew I wanted to come back here. This time it was a broken leg. (tibial plateau fracture) I was miserable, but once again Hess PT came to the rescue. Within six months I was back to work! I continued to go to PT even after I was back at work to continue to work on some querks I had in my back. I actually just informed Dr. Gage that I wanted to continue to work on areas in order to prevent injuries. He is now helping me with my shoulder and I am learning how to lifft heavy items correctly. I know its sounds crazy, but I can not wait to come back – the team is truly excellent!

I would like to thank all of the wonderful people who work at Hess Physical Therapy from the receptionist, to the students who job shadow, and the therapist’s for taking great care of me. They never fail to make you feel like the most important person they are treating. I had a very bad accident that made it difficult to walk without severe pain. Dr. Jess got me from barely able to walk to running around with my daughter and coaching softball again. So if you are in need of physical therapy or would just like to become pain free call Hess and ask for Jess.

My left ankle was injured while serving in the United States Navy in 1971 at which time modern PT was not available. Over the years through re-injury and instabilities it got worse. When I first arrived at Hess Physical Therapy my ankle was stiff and my balance was unstable. Walking on the stairs and in general was painful. I would put it at a 9 on a 10 point scale. Through my work with Dr. Matt and Kelly I am now able to walk, climb stairs and step up and down curbs pain-free. My activity level was between 40-50%. Thanks to Dr. Matt and Kelly it is now at 89% with balance being greatly improved. If you have a problem and need pt Hess Physical Therapy is the place to be.

I have been with Dr. Jess for several different things and she has always helped me. This most recent time I was very weak and in pain from quarantine. I was unable to get out of a chair and walk safely. Stairs were also challenging. With the help of Dr Jes, I strengthened my muscles and worked on my balance. SHe helped me walk and rise from a chair and climb stairs PAIN free. I would HIGHLY recommend coming to Hess Physical Therapy and seeing Dr. Jess. I am better than I have ever been.

This was the second time I have been here for injuries (back & this time right shoulder). Both experiences were great and I felt better than before the injuries. Kelly and Dr. Matt are great to work with and Diane kept me on track with my appointments. When I hurt my shoulder there was no doubt in my mind where I was going for PT. Great folks to work with and be around.

Over the years I have had physical therapy for a variety of body parts over a 15-year span. Some of this therapy was for injuries and some of it was post-operative. However, I have never had a physical therapy experience such as the one I have had at Hess Physical Therapy.

The therapist was extremely knowledgeable of the muscular skeletal system and how to use this in therapy for my improvement. What impressed me the most with how Dr. Eric evaluated me and was using therapy to help improve other underlying issues I have, such as balance issues and my gait. I highly recommend Hess Physical Therapy because they are the best.

Danny’s AWESOME. Active Release Technique (ACT), Graston and Massage have all helped me! Everything has been a holistically, non-invasive approach that WORKS! Not many people in my area trained with this technique. In addition, Dan’s personal approach is welcoming. It worked for me!!

This is my second rotator cuff surgery in 7 years so I knew what therapy would be like. My PT, Van, was as determined as I was to rehab my shoulder. His expertise, patience, and encouragement made all the difference to my recovery. Thank you Van for being my biggest cheerleader! A shout out to Kelly too – the “sunshine” in the workout room! Thank you all!!

In mid-March I suffered from Guillan Barre. I was not even able to sit up. After 2 1/2 weeks in Washington hospital and 2 1/2 months of home physical therapy I came here to Hess. The progress I made here has been amazing. I am back to 90% of my former condition. The people here at Hess push you to be your best without making you feel like you are working too hard. I am grateful to each and every one who works here. I will miss them and feel if ever I need to, I can come back.

I have always loved to swim. I was on the swim team when I was younger and as an army brat I used to swim from boat to shore all the time. I haven’t been able to do that for a while now. However, thanks to the team at Hess Physical Therapy, I was able to do that again when I recently was on a trip with my mother in Puerto Rico. Thank you Dr. Matt, Kelly and Diane! You made my dream come true at 64. My next goal is walking to my husband’s gravesite where he passed in the Middle East on May 24, 2020. I know I will walk to that gravesite with my two daughters. Thank you again team!

I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to do the exercises, but boy was I wrong! From the moment I entered the facility, I felt welcome.

At the start, I had a lot of trouble walking, getting up from the couch. I had been experiencing a good deal of pain and had little faith in what PT would do for me.

Dr. Jessica was so outgoing and fun, that she made exercising (which I normally dislike doing) enjoyable!

– Heather C.

My shoulder is feeling so much better and much stronger than before. Driving, doing chores and even sleeping is so much better after completing the plan of care suited to my personal needs.

– Kathy G.

The physical therapist, front desk staff, interns, and all employees are very helpful, caring, and friendly. You feel like family when you are in treatment at Hess PT!

– Bridget D.

What I loved was he said he wanted to fix the problem, not just treat the pain. While it was not a “quick fix,” PT changed my running life.

– Holly F.

I came in not being able to move, bend, walk, or stand, but now I feel that I have my life back. Hess Physical Therapy is wonderful!

– Paulette H.

Now, I am able to sleep, move without pain, and plan to start training for my indoor track season at Wheeling Jesuit University!

– Sydney B.

The staff I had the pleasure of working with were all genuinely caring and friendly people. I like to think that the staff I met at Hess Physical Therapy are not just people who helped me recover from an injury, but people who have become dear friends of mine.

Being pregnant with twins at 4’ 11’ feet was a huge challenging for me. When my body started to tense up and hurt, my doctor suggested physical therapy and I found Hess Physical Therapy.Dan and Jessica were outstanding! After my first session, I was able to walk out with half the pain I walked in with!

– Elizabeth K.

I am now 100% pain free and am able to work regular duty at my job, which is very labor and physically intense, care for my 22 month old daughter, and complete my house hold duties and recreational activities without pain.

– Laurel K.

Surgery was recommended but I decided I wanted to try PT instead and it was the best decision I’ve ever made.
