Brad and Francine Oppat’s physical therapy practice at the Sport Club of West Bloomfield provided therapy to me following the fourth procedure on my right knee. Two surgeries and a manipulation under anesthesia had left me with abundant scar tissue in and around the knee joint, and with great stiffness, such that I had difficulty walking, and getting into and out of a seated position. I found it difficult to get up or down stairs, and it was impossible for me to drive a car. An additional surgery corrected some of the right-left instability of the joint, and made it possible to begin recovery. That recovery has been wonderfully assisted and directed by Brad Oppat’s care, attention, perception, wisdom, and perseverance. Thanks to his patient and diligent work, both in directing my exercise and in manipulating the joint and all the parts that work with it, I am now able to walk as I could not before, and to sit down and rise up as I could not before, because I can now straighten my knee and also bend my knee greater than 90 degrees, which I could not do before. I can even drive a car again. Because of Brad Oppat’s professionalism and keen observation and diligence, and Francine’s warm presence, empathy, and encouragement, my life is better...
Read moreBeyond incredible!! Really impressed with the quality of work from Brad and Sports Club Physical Therapy. I am so grateful for the rapid recovery after my knee replacement surgery. My orthopedic surgeon was blown away by the speed and results of my recovery. Kudos to Brad for this !!! Thanks to his knowledge, careful planning and brilliant execution I was always ahead of the game. Even though the physical therapy and overall recovery was very painful Brad managed to get me through it and made it very fun at times , cheered me on when I couldn’t go on and always had great music playing which helped get me thru it as well. The atmosphere is very relaxed and comfortable and Brad spends the entire time working one on one with you giving you all of his attention to provide the best care possible for your recovery. Francine his beautiful wife was very pleasant, courteous , cheered me on thru my recovery and handles the behind the scenes operations (all the scheduling, billing etc.)making the office run smoothly. They are a great team and I am so grateful and thankful for both of them and so glad my surgeon recommended this spectacular...
Read moreAfter a life-threatening auto accident, I've had a lot of physical therapy over the past 10 years. The thing that sticks out about Brad and Francine is that they are very professional, competent, and they provide a genuine personal experience. Brad listens, checks in with you to see how treatments are working (or not) and adjusts. Having one-on-one time with my therapist is valuable and such a different (positive) vibe than some of the other practices I've been to. While effective (depending on what you put in as the patient of course) I sometimes felt that I could do the therapy myself at a gym and was just 'one of several' people kind of jammed into the schedule and on the equipment. I never feel that way at Sports Club Physical Therapy. If you would like a quieter, more personal experience, I highly recommend Brad. Francine is the sweetest and most courteous person I've ever dealt with and she follows up on any communication or concerns. They check off all the boxes, which is...
