This recommendation, evaluation, thank you or whatever you may want to call it, is way overdue because I feel extremely content and satisfied with the treatment that I have been receiving over the course of more than a year at Marathon PT. This has everything to do with my phenomenal physical therapist, Shiv simply because he is the best at what he has been trained to do and so, I would not be inclined to have anybody else treat me. I surely lucked out when Shiv was first assigned to me last October because at Marathon PT, he is believed to be the most knowledgeable in treating those who have been stricken with Bell's Palsy which weakens and even paralyzes facial muscles. My neurologist suggested that I get treatment three times a week so that the damage done to my face could hopefully improve. I had already seen on my friend's face what Bell's Palsy had done to her. Unfortunately, it had permanently left her mouth twisted. Shiv aggressively treated all my Bell's Palsy issues. He even took the initiative to do further research about Bell's Palsy and ultimately had Marathon PT purchase additional equipment that he felt was needed to improve the left side of my face. Today, one year later, nobody but myself can notice that there remains only a slight difference with my upper and lower lip on the left side of my face. Even I, who is extremely self-conscious of my physical appearance am very happy with outcome of how the entire left side of my face looks and feels. Now, one year later, Shiv has even recommended certain exercises I can do at home to perhaps bring my lips back to how they once were. Just a few weeks ago, I returned to Marathon Pt because I once again needed physical therapy and of course wanted only Shiv to help me with a problem I have been battling with for years. My neurologist recommended physical therapy three times a week to help me with my spinal bone structure disease, spondylolisthesis which at times leaves my legs, bottom of my feet, some toes and digits in my fingers numb. Fortunately for me, Shiv has the hands of an angel! While treating me, he aggressively massages all of these affected areas to the point where he helps to restore over time complete feeling in these body parts. I used to lie in bed and feel total numbness in my legs and feet and sometimes, I used to walk around feeling pretty much the same way, but only after a few weeks, the numbness has lessened and at times, I even feel like my old self where the numbness is completely non-existent. With such a miraculous improvement within such a short period of time, due to Shiv's brilliant course of therapy which targets my condition, I can only hope to see continuous improvement. Thank You Shiv, my friend! Shiv is in fact, the best physical therapist I have ever seen. He is well educated, conscientious, and professional. You can also tell that he loves what he does and takes his job of helping people to the best of his ability very seriously. The icing on the cake is that he is also one of the nicest people I have ever met! Shiv has a kind heart and a genuine concern about those he helps. I truly feel blessed to have met this wonderful human being. I know without a doubt that nobody would be able to address all my medical issues better than he has done and is still...

   Read moreI had knee replacement surgery in November and for my rehab I chose Marathon Physical Therapy. The place is warm and welcoming and everyone there is very professional and treats you like family. I would actually look forward to going the three times a week for about 8 weeks that I went. By the end of the 8 weeks, my knee was very much improved and I went back to work without any issues. I would like to make special mention to Tay, Twinkle, Shiv, Lamiya, Emma, Ariella, Nekita and Joanne (I may be forgetting a name or two - my apologies)). They all made my 8 weeks a very pleasant, rewarding experience and I would very highly recommended this place to anyone in need of rehab. I have already recommended it to my sister and she will be switching to Marathon soon. She said at her current place, they sometimes keep her waiting on a machine after she finishes an exercise and it's frustrating. I told her, not only does that not happen at Marathon, but they are constantly checking up on you throughout your exercises or your electro-massage. Even workers that weren't assigned to you for that day will come up to you and ask you if you're OK, is everything alright. Such a pleasant atmosphere. Highly recommend. I'm getting my left knee done this coming November and although surgery is stressful, I have Marathon Physical Therapy to look forward to after the surgery!...
