"I have been going to SportsCare Physical Therapy since November 2024 after having spinal fusion surgery. I have been to a half dozen places for PT. This one is by far the "Best" one that I have been too. All off the staff is knowledgeable, personable and professional. In addition to a variety treatment equipment they also offer AquaTherapy. Laurie is flexible and accommodating when it comes to scheduling. When the office is unable to take calls, it is because they are assisting other clients. I know, because I have been in the office and witnessed it. When ever I have attempted to call and no one was available, I have always received an immediate call back from Laurie; sometimes within minutes. But the thing that I love the most is the personal care and attention that I have gotten from John. He is an active participant in the treatment of the clientele. He created a treatment plan specifically designed for my needs. He always, even in passing will stop to assist in my treatment. I really appreciate the words of support and encouragement that gives to me. And he goes above and beyond my regular treatment days. I once was unable to attend therapy because I was experiencing some pain. He not only offered suggestions for how to manage my pain, but he made himself available for to speak with me to advise him of how I was feeling. My experience with John and SportCare Physical Therapy has been second to none. If ever in the market for quality PT treatment I highly recommend this office."

"I had a great experience at SportsCare physical therapy. John Fox, the PT, takes his time with each patient and thoroughly explains how your particular problem likely arose, what he proposes to do to correct it, and then gives a step-by-step explanation of what he’s doing while treating you. The techs, Laurie at the desk, and all the support staff are just great, friendly and encouraging. Easily the best PT office I’ve ever been to."

"John Fox and SportsCare PT has been my indispensable “go to” health solution for over 25 years. John’s state of the art knowledge and hands-on techniques helped me regain strength and flexibility after two back surgeries. Under his care, I avoided both knee and shoulder replacement surgeries, and today I am fine. His Wellness programs give more and better results than franchise, brand name gyms. Now, I enjoy life, active every day, even walking the course in two golf leagues. I cannot thank John enough or recommend SportsCare highly enough. It is the only place to consider if you really want the best results."

"Sportscare PT in Farmingdale is amazing! Was referred by my surgeon Dr. John Kennedy for rehab following ankle ligament and arthroscopic surgery in 10/24. John Fox has innovative techniques to address pain, swelling and facilitate healing. Every session has been filled with engaging interactive exercises designed to strengthen and improve functionality - and always culminates in a wonderful foot massage to boot! Staff are kind and always attentive and available to assist. I have gone to many other PT facilities over the years and would never go anywhere else for any sort of rehab!!"

"I cannot recommend SportsCare Physical Therapy highly enough! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warmth and professionalism by Lori at the front desk. John, the physical therapist, is an absolute expert in his field. His knowledge and ability to explain the treatments are unparalleled. What sets this place apart is the personalized care. John's manipulation techniques combined with exercises tailored to my needs have drastically improved my flexibility and range of motion. The quick massages at the end by John himself, or Denise, have been incredibly beneficial to my recovery process. But it's not just about the therapy sessions; it's the supportive team environment. Andy and Jason, John's assistants, are always there to lend a helping hand and keep the atmosphere positive. I was so impressed with this place that I decided to join their Wellness Program to maintain the hard work we've put in together. Thanks to John and his team at SportsCare Physical Therapy, I've regained my quality of life, and I couldn't be more grateful. Looking forward to your Wellness Program."

"I had a total knee replacement on my right knee 2 years ago. Dr. Seidman was my surgeon. The surgery was a success, but my recovery wasn't. I could walk, but I was in pain every day since the surgery. The only time I got relief was when my leg was elevated. After a year, I went back to Dr. Seidman and explained that I was in pain every day and I asked him if I needed more physical therapy. He replied, " No, you do not need P/T, if you want to play golf, play golf!" ??? (I do not play golf). I thought I'd have to live with this pain for the rest of my life. I thank God that my primary doctor, Dr. Mintz, gave me a prescription for P/T and that a friend told me to go to John Fox and he'll fix me....AND HE DID! I no longer have pain in my right knee. I can't believe it! John Fox is AMAZING! He is so knowledgeable in his field. I can't say more about this place! His entire staff is made up of friendly, helpful, people! I've been raving about this place to everyone I know. If you need physical therapy, this is the place to go! Go see John Fox!"

Unfortunatley I've been to several PT practices over the years and this has been the best. John Fox is as professional as he is nice.

They explain everything from the anatomy to the exercises so well and are vested in your progress. Once I made progress (which was much quicker than I expected), they discharged me. I was so impressed by their honesty. Other health care professionals might have continued with treatment just to bill the insurance company, but SportCare Physical Therapy really "Care."

"SportsCare is the best! John Fox and his staff have, in the past, rehabbed me from right rotator cuff surgery, left hip replacement surgery, and most recently from left shoulder torn tendons and effects from long COVID. I am again in good health and strength and feeling much younger than my 74 years. John has several capable assistants on staff. I worked most closely with Cynthia and Kapali, both very knowledgeable, attentive, and dedicated to the needs of their patients. John's operation is state-of-the-art, his hands-on technique informative and - most importantly - highly successful. SportsCare is the place to go for your best results. "

"I have had PT before but this was the best experience I ever had. John and his staff are really caring and pay attention to what's going on and they practically give you one on one care. I would recommend them 100% for any injury that you need physical therapy for. Best decision I made in choosing SportsCare PT for my hip replacement physical therapy. I had knee replacement surgery 10 weeks ago and needed PT and there was no doubt where I was going, Sports Therapy of Farmingdale of course! The treatment I received was exceptional. One on one care by John Fox and his staff. I improved so much and felt so good I didn't want my sessions to end. Massage therapy by Denise was also exceptional. John is so knowledgable and explains things so that you can understand what you are going through and how you will progress, it is amazing. Lourie in the front office is also a pleasure to deal with. I would recommend going to Sports Therapy of Farmingdale for your next PT needs. Well done John!"

""I had a total left knee replacement in December 2016 when a Hospital Home Care PT Nurse recommended to continue going for advanced PT and told me she heard about SCPT in Farmingdale being an excellent PT facility. The expert care and PT provided by John Fox and his staff helped me return to work in six weeks' time which was amazing to myself and all my coworkers. I have returned to SCPT for the second time now after having a total right knee replacement in December 2022 where, again, I find Top Notch, professional care in a very friendly environment that treats you not only like a patient but as a personal friend! I have to thank John Fox and his highly trained staff, James, Cynthia, Krupali, Grace and Denise (who has provided the massage therapy that has iprove the mobility of my right leg from the hip all the way down to my toes) and Stacy who has helped me making scheduled appointments.

"John Fox is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and attentive. I initially started therapy for persistent back pain that was getting worse week after week. I spent months going from specialist to specialist and couldn't find a solution. John suggested it could be a tear in the hip tissue and he was right. I finally got the proper diagnosis thanks to his guidance and resumed therapy for my hip post surgery. The whole team is so kind and creates a very helpful, encouraging environment. John explains every exercise and how it relates to each function very well. Very grateful for the care I received and I highly recommend them."

"I was diagnosed with a partially torn rotator cuff, labrum and biceps tendonitis and was scheduled for shoulder surgery at the end of the year. Since I've been a patient at Sportscare Physical Therapy my shoulder has made a remarkable improvement. It has improved to the point that I'm considering cancelling my surgery. Doctor John Fox is great at not only caring for your injury but he takes the time to thouroly explain to you the extent of your injury and the science behind rehab and recovery. Do what he tells you to do and you will get better!!! I also enjoy his wonderful since of humor and wit. His support team is also top notch and caring.

John is excellent at what he does. He is thorough and explains everything he is doing in detail. He is also a funny guy. I also work with Cynthia who is very good at what she does.

They both make small talk during the vist which makes it feel like I'm at the gym with friends. The front desk are very friendly as well. The entire experience is delightful.

"I love love love this place! I have been going to SportCare Physical Therapy for a few months now to treat both my ankles. One ankle was broken and the other was sprained. I began physical therapy in August with very little to no mobility in both my ankles and severe pain. I have had the pleasure of working with PT tech’s, Cameron, Clair and James. They are all kind and patient with everyone. They give great exercises and are constantly looking for new ways to help and challenge the patient. I love all them for always cheering me on to make it through my exercises and making me laugh. John is one of a kind! He always makes people laugh and smile and he gives EXCELLENT personal care. One thing I’ve also noticed is he never rushes with his patients and he explains what he is doing and why he is doing it. You don’t find that in many places! Laurie at the front desk is also great! She has been so helpful with my paperwork and setting up my appointments. I am still currently at SportsCare PT and I can say that I can now walk up and down stairs without pain and they now have me working on cardio (ladder and small 6inch hurdle) exercises. I could not do this before nor did I ever think that I could again after my accident. I still have work to do to get to where I want to be at and I know that I will get there with SportsCare PT! Thanks again to everyone there, I really appreciate all that you do. :)"

Laurie is very well organized and keeps on top of your appointments. John is extremely knowledgeable, knows exactly how hard to work you and makes you laugh all at the same time. His recent addition Claire is awesome. She always greets you with a smile, knows your routine, and despite how many clients may be in there she always makes sure she spends time with each one. Her banter back and forth with John makes the time spent there entertaining. The best part......my knee is coming along quite nicely."

They're constantly learning new things, having internal trainings and getting the newest treatment options and tools - so you know you're getting the most up to date treatment. My road to recovery is long, but Sportscare makes it possible, if I could give them 10 stars I would."

"I have been a patient of Sports Care PT. a number of different times and no matter what the injury was John Fox new exactly how to approach my rehab. His staff are well trained and under careful guidance from John. If you should need aqua therapy, Sports Care has it. The office is well run and able handle your insurance questions. I have been to other rehabs and Sports Care PT. ranks among the the best there is. They will even assist you with exercises that you can continue at home once you are released from their service. This is an unsolicited review and would not recommend a business had I not been 100pct. satisified. If you should need physical therapy for any body part, speak to John Fox, you will be happy you did. "

"I had back problems for many years when I was in my 20’s - early 40’s, until I started at SportsCare PT in Farmingdale. It was not a quick fix, it took time, commitment, & the knowledge you learn from the physical therapist. They explain to you why the exercise is necessary, the muscle it is targeting, and explain to you how better manage your discomfort (pain) with tips you remember. One of my problems was the way I was walking, a tip I remember while I am walking is “heal to toe”, to this day! I received many treatments and gently hands at SportsCare and can honestly say I have a better quality of life because of them. I have not had a back issue in over a decade, that says it all!!! Thank you to the Therapist & Staff!"

I've been to other PT offices, chiropractors and even an acupuncturist for my pain with without durable improvement. After going to John Fox for a year or so, I was feeling substantial benefits and had regained significant mobility in my shoulders and dramatic reduction of the back pain that has troubled me for so long. John and his team have been kind, responsive, helpful and honest in their care of me. I've been essentially pain free for over a year now, and it appears that, as along as I keep up on the personalized exercise/stretching regime that John developed for me, I will remain that way. I shall be eternally grateful to John and Erica and their colleagues for all they did for me over the years. Well done, folks - well done!"

"I started at Sportscare, I think back in 2011-2012. I worked for public utilities on the business side, which is where I fell from a utility pole. I underwent numerous surgeries, skeletal. First there was cervical surgery. John Fox personally carried me through this ordeal. Afterwards, being that he had earned my trust, not because of how he treated me, but because of how he “treated” me. I hope that makes sense. After that I had Tommy John surgery and Sportscare was my first choice because of how the neck tuned out. They passed with flying colors. Then there was my total knee replacement. Remember, I fell from a utility pole. After that I had lower back surgery and John was my go to guy. I can’t say enough about John and his wonderful staff at Sportscare Physical Therapy. Because of these professionals, if you were to see me move about through life, you would swear, nothing happened. Sportscare Physical Therapy gave me my life back and I will be forever grateful. And in the immortal words of Forrest Gump, “That’s all I got to say about that” Peace and Blessings Sportscare in the mighty name of Jesus. !!!"

She took the time to work on any ailment that was bothering me and never made me feel rushed to move on to different exercises. She was the key to my success and I couldn’t imagine myself going to anyone else in the future if I need more strengthening and rehabilitation. I highly recommend coming here for physical therapy as the entire staff was very helpful and knowledgeable as well! "

I had a bulging disc in my lower back and at the time of my injury I didn’t know if I could ever kneel, bend , or sit in comfort again, but surely enough it doesn’t even feel like I was injured in the first place. Now, while still continuing my recovery plan independently, if I ever feel I need to come back I will not hesitate to give SportsCare a call."

In August I was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension and since than I gained weight, lost myself and all my muscle. My doctors than recommend me to start physical therapy. Before I started, I had severe joint pain, and could not walk for long periods of time because I was terrified, I would pass out. I have been working at SportsCare for a little over a month and I see a difference. I am now able to work out, walk and even run without the fear of passing out. I am confident in myself and my body for the first time in a long time.

"I have always been an active person and have had to deal with injuries on and off for many years. In December 2017, I had a total knee replacement with complications. John and his team at SportsCare PT took excellent care of me and I improved considerably with their help and patience during this exceptionally hard time. In December 2018, I had shoulder surgery, as I had extreme pain in my left shoulder. This pain was so extensive I was unable to work out at the gym like I used to; but more importantly the pain interrupted my normal daily activities, such as sleeping, getting dressed, driving, washing dishes, and lifting groceries and laundry etc. I returned to SportsCare PT after this surgery because of the experience I had with John treating my knee. Both treatments included, among other things, manual therapy to gently and safely to release some of the joint and soft tissue tightness and exercises designed specifically promote increased movement and gain strength. One of the most important things for me is that John was always sensitive about monitoring my physical comfort. That along with the knowledge he was a certified manual orthopedic PT, gave me confidence he would be able to treat my shoulder as well as he did my knee. My time at SportsCare PT was a great experience that resulted in significant improvement in the use of my left arm, I now have full range of motion, less pain and I’m able to do all the activities I previously was unable to do. I can in NO way thank John enough for taking such good care of me. He and his team have always been friendly, professional and exceptionally helpful in all their work with me. They frequently went above and beyond what I expected in terms of service, for these reasons, I will most assuredly return for future injuries and recommend them to my friends and family."

"Hi. My name is Sylvia and I have been going to therapy for 2 years at a different office. Going 3-4 times a week with a very slow recovery process. I was continually getting injections in my lower back and hip because I could never get full relief. That’s when I started crying in frustration to my pain management doctor and asking to help me in another way. He recommended I try a different form of therapy. I had an evaluation at 2 other places that treated me with a machine and not really making me feel comfortable that they could really help me. That’s when I found SportsCare which was right down the block from my house and met the most amazing therapist Christine. I came in with such swelling in my hip to the point where you couldn’t even touch it. I have never in 3 years of various treatment, felt more cared for, comforted that she could help me and listened to every detail of my concerns. I can honestly say that from the end of January to the middle of March, I am pain free! I get emotional just writing that. She has always made me laugh, shared funny stories and helped me with all my issues I was having. Always keeping my mind at ease and being the most genuine person I have met. I am so thankful for you all and its great to feel like I am reclaiming my whole life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."

"After being diagnosed with bulging discs in my lower back I opted for the conservative approach of physical therapy instead of the initial surgery approach suggested by my orthopedist. My pain management doctor, Dr. Davis, wrote a script for PT that I promptly took to SportsCare Physical Therapy. Before starting treatment, I was unable to do the simplest of daily tasks such as sitting, walking, picking up my son, a laundry basket, etc., without being in pain. At my initial consultation with Andrew he was able to diagnose a tilted pelvis and shifted tailbone that was likely contributing to my instability and pain. Starting there, John, Andrew, and the rest of the SCPT team developed and individualized program that has brought me such an amazing level of pain and renewed stability and strength in my problem areas. I couldn’t have asked for better, more caring, five star treatment from an amazing group of people."

I come in with paralyzing neck spasm and could barely move my head without crying. I initially felt like something was ripping between my neck and shoulder, followed by heat and cramping to the point of being terrified to move! I feel like I was touched by healing hands since starting therapy. There has been tremendous difference in my shoulder/neck. I went from not holding my head straight to having full range of motion. There was a noticeable difference after each appointment and had great at home guidance to help me in my recovery. I am beyond thankful for the entire team, especially Erica. Not only did one get me back to optimal health but also made me feel reassured and comfortable each visit. Words are not enough to express my immense gratitude."

After many weeks of recuperating, I started physical therapy in Farmingdale, NY. From the moment I walked through the door, I was warmly greeted by the physical therapist, Erica Martello. She evaluated me, guided me through my exercises, set me up with a program for home with a printout, and provided a website to access my personal exercises. Through many weeks of therapy my range of motion has significantly improved, and I am driving. Thank you for a job well done by my fabulous surgeon Dr. Ruotolo! Many thanks to Erica, her assistants, and the office staff for being efficient, courteous, attentive, and respectful.

My daughter Erin found SportsCare Physical Therapy online and had heard good things about the care and types of therapy they had. Upon my first consultation I found the therapists and staff to be very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. They diagnosed me and proposed a course of treatment, which I began. My main PT at SportsCare is Erica and she has been wonderful. SportsCare has another PT Christine and several assistants so you always have highly trained professionals helping you. All are fantastic. I had honestly only hoped to get down to a tolerable level of pain with maybe a few days with little pain. I now am pain free on most days, my bad days are formally my best days and that is only once or twice a week for a few hours; soon to be no days.

After both surgeries I did my Physical therapy at Sportscare Physical Therapy in Farmingdale which I found through a Google search.

I definitely see and feel a difference since March, when I came in. Erica is extremely professional, caring, patient and always has a smile on, even when you confess that you have not done all of your home exercises.. She works so closely with each patient, that you feel like you are the only one she is working with. My knee is much better and although I have a long way go before I am back to normal, I wouldn't want to be in any other PT office. I would highly recommend SportsCare Physical Therapy in Farmingdale to all of my family and friends. This office treats you just like you are Family. Thank you so much Erica and all of the staff at SportsTherapy. Farmingdale."

"This is my second time I’ve been to Sportscare, first with my shoulder and this time with Sciatica . The Staff are above all, caring and helpful towards a speedy recovery and proper changes in my lifestyle to avoid repeated injury. That’s the key right there. People who care about you, and want you to get and stay better. This time I was helped by Christine who is very patient and thorough with my treatment. Asking about the details of my discomfort and being able to administer therapy with the human touch. Your not just a number there, I give them the highest of recommendations It's been a year since my last time at Sportscare and I needed help again , this time with a pinched nerve in my neck. I was seen by Andrew and was very impressed with his knowledge of my problem and more so how he looked at what it might be that was causing the problem. A program was created to work the muscles involved . After the problem was solved ,Andrew showed me a work out routine to use at the gym that would not effect any of my prior difficulties . As you grow older you'll need to see your Doctor more and a Physical Therapist , I found the best P.T. and feel confident I will live a long and healthy life with there help."

"I was a patient at SportsCare PT for 4 weeks with Dr. Erica Martello. I couldn't turn my neck and had pain thru my shoulder and down my arm from some herniated discs. At the end of my treatment I had full range of motion in my neck and my herniated discs thru exercise, ice, heat, stim, massage, laser and manipulations had the pain reduced to the point that I didnt have to get an epidural in the back of my neck. Erica is terrific and I am a happy camper!!"

"I have been a patient at SportsCare, on and off, over the last 13 years for various running-related injuries. John and the team at SportsCare have always been prompt, knowledgeable, accommodating, and understanding in their services and treatment. Over the years, John has helped me to understand not only the bio-mechanical processes behind my injuries, but how I can work to improve any related muscle/connective tissue inadequacies that led to injury in the first place. The team at SCPT has worked hard to push me to become as independent as possible in my healing, which has greatly helped me return to normal levels of activity. I am forever grateful for everything that the team at SC has done for me."

Before I started physical therapy I was in pain just moving and doing simple everyday things - walking, getting in and out of bed, getting in and out of the car, standing, sitting, etc. Not only is the staff amazing, they are all personable, warm, welcoming, and work together! Since I starting seeing Christine at Sportscare Physical Therapy not only have I been able to start doing the simple everyday activities, I have more energy - not getting home from work and going straight to bed. I have lost weight, started exercising again, and she showed me what I can do when my back does get inflamed or have spasms. My pain and swelling has gone down thanks to the stretches, massaging, stimulation, laser, and aquatic therapy."

"I am so grateful to have found this place. I had suffered a knee injury during my first day of college volleyball practice, and after surgery was very doubtful I'd even be able to run again, let alone play volleyball. I had been going to another physical therapist for 6 months after surgery, and was never able to regain the ability to straighten out my leg. Eventually, both my physical therapist and myself lost hope. When I was recommended this place, I was very skeptical that they'd be able to help. However, within just a week John and his amazing staff were able to fix the problem and I could finally straighten out my leg. I had thought it was my fault I never got better, but coming here has shown me that I had always been willing to put in the work, I just needed someone knowledgeable to guide me. John has given me hope again, and I still have a long way to go until I can play sports again, but after coming here I feel so much more confident in my ability to get there. I 100% recommend them to anyone in need of physical therapy, and especially to those who have a difficult case and think they can't improve. Everyone at this office is extremely knowledgeable and knows what it takes to make you better. Plus there's a heated pool."

Neck Pain

I was sent to SportsCare Physical Therapy by Dr. Burrei. He diagnosed my neck pain as a result of a spinal curve. Before receiving physical therapy treatments I was in so much pain I could not turn my head to the right. After working exclusively with John Fox for two weeks my neck pain decreased. Following one month the pain was gone. The neck exercises that John taught me have increased my neck range of motion and I feel stronger than ever before. I highly recommend SportsCare Physical Therapy and I have already recommended two friends to see John. Thanks so much.

Joan Minniti

I was referred to SportsCare Physical Therapy by Dr. Mauri for neck and shoulder pain. I had trouble lifting my left arm without experiencing pain. The diagnosis was bursitis with a grade 2 impingement. After five weeks of therapy I no longer feel pain. The therapists at Sportscare Physical Therapy thoroughly assessed me and created a plan for me. The information was very educational, the treatment was very effective and the staff was very attentive. I would not hesitate to recommend SportsCare Physical Therapy to friends and family. Thanks guys!

Enrique Liboreiro

Dear John:

I came to you with a lot of neck pain and was discharged six weeks later with no neck pain. How’s that for a success story!

I knew I was in good hands the moment I met you. You are an extremely knowledgeable and trained physical therapist. But just as important, you are a great guy who is caring, friendly, approachable, and has a terrific sense of humor: so much so that I truly enjoyed and looked forward to coming to therapy.

Not only do you conduct yourself in a professional manner, but you make sure your entire staff conducts themselves in the same way. From your office staff to your assistants, they do all their best in making everyone feel welcome and important. Your office staff is extremely efficient and helpful, from telephone reminders about appointments, to scheduling appointments and everything in between. Your assistants were very helpful in teaching me how to use the weights and machines, as well as making sure I was doing my exercises correctly.

Your facility creates and upbeat and positive environment, and a place where I knew I was going to see a huge improvement in my condition. Encouragement was always present, whether in words or actions. I felt I was going to get better whether I liked it or not. There was not an ounce of negativity anywhere. I felt everyone was there for only one reason- and that was for me to get better and better.

I can’t thank you enough for everything that you have done for me, It goes without saying that I will surely recommend you and your facility to anyone I come in contact with who I feel will benefit from your services. I hope I leave you in good spirits and in good health.

Sincerely,
Robert Gelenter

Shoulder/Arm Pain

For several weeks prior to starting my therapy treatments at Sportscare, I was in terrible pain in my left shoulder. I decided to visit Dr. Harvey Finkelstein, a pain specialist. He strongly recommended physical therapy in lieu of medication or an operation. It was Dr. Finkelstien’s recommendation that I come to SportsCare Physical Therapy and begin treatments with John Fox.

I have been receiving physical therapy treatments three times a week for the past month. I received a home exercise program which has helped decrease my right shoulder pain which was a result of a rotator cuff injury. The severe pain is gone. I thank Dr. Finkelstein for sending me to SportsCare and John Fox. SportsCare not only reduced my pain but prevented me from undergoing a painful operation on my shoulder. Hats off to SportsCare and John Fox – they are number one on my list.

Joe Falcone

I was sent to SportsCare Physical Therapy by my orthopedist, Dr. Alpert. At first I was believed to have a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder, but x-rays later discovered that there was no tear, just a strain. At first I was a little skeptical about the physical therapy, not expecting the results nearly as quickly as I got them. Before physical therapy, I could barely move my arm. Only 4 weeks later I’m almost 100% and I can fully rotate my arm. I gained total mobility and regained my strength. I would recommend SportsCare Physical Therapy to anybody who has muscle or joint-related problems. The results are fantastic and it helps reduce pain and fatigue. The entire staff was very nice as well.

Back Pain

I visited Dr. Scarpinata in January 2015. She recommended physical therapy to help relieve the pain in my lower back. I was diagnosed with degenerated discs. I chose SportsCare Physical Therapy of Farmingdale because it was conveniently located near my place of employment. From my first phone call, the staff was polite, professional and attentive to my every need. Tatiana Malkina D.P.T. was assigned to my case. My first visit with Ms. Malkina was for an evaluation of my condition.

During this consultation, Ms. Malkina made an individualized plan for healing my back. Ms. Malkina was very thorough with her examination and explanation of my condition, and confident she would be able to help reduce my pain. I felt reassured by Ms. Malkina’s positive attitude and sincere regard as my physical therapist. She went right to work to try and reduce the amount of pain I was in, even on the first visit. I actually felt immediate relief. Ms. Malkina gave me an exercise plan for home too. With every visit my pain was steadily decreasing. After just 4 weeks of physical therapy I was completely free of any back pain. I immensely regret that I waited so long to go to the Dr. for this pain. Had I known Ms. Malkina would have helped my condition so quickly, I would have sought her services much sooner.

The phenomenal service I experienced at Sportscare went beyond my physical therapist. For example, while in the exercise room the attention I received from the entire staff was incredible. Each and every staff member was kind, considerate, professional and fun! Sportscare helped dispel any apprehension I had about receiving treatment for my condition and I would gladly recommend anyone looking for physical therapy to this great place!

I was sent to John Fox Physical Therapist by Dr. Van Bosse from the Hospital of Joint Disease. I was diagnosed with spondylosis, a fracture in my lower spine.

I felt terrible at first. It limited everything I did. My back was constantly sore. WOW! After being in SportsCare Physical Therapy for 6 weeks I feel great.

Due to John’s extensive knowledge and dedication my back is hardly ever sore and I am able to do more activities. I would definitely recommend SportsCare Physical Therapy.

Chris Martinez

What can I say that hasn’t been said by the patients of SportsCare Physical Therapy.

I had scheduled an appointment with a neurosurgeon at the Hospital for Special Surgery with the potential for an operation on my low back for a herniated disc causing pain to travel down my lower leg.

But since I had 10 weeks to wait for the operation, a friend of my daughter recommended SportsCare Physical Therapy. At this point, I was taking 1200mg of ibuprofen as soon as I woke up in the morning so I would be able to walk with minimal pain and another 1200mg in the afternoon. My pain at this point was at a level 8.

Just prior to Christmas 1999, I picked up my 4-year-old daughter and felt a muscle pull in my back. Unfortunately, four weeks later I experienced a fall which caused my existing muscle injury to worsen. I could no longer take the pain and weakness that I felt in my upper back so I made an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Thomas Mauri. He x-rayed my back, gave me anti-inflammatory medication (Celebrex) and prescribed physical therapy. This seemed to be the appropriate Rx for muscle strain as it was diagnosed.

John Fox was the physical therapist chosen for my rehabilitation. At first, the sessions included a combination of massage, strengthening exercises and ice. The later sessions included strengthening routines involving different machines and free weights. John was polite yet firm in his treatment approach. He understood that my emotions were frazzled. After all, as an athletic person, I spend much time between tennis and working out. My sports were my stress relievers and since I could not participate in them, depression set in. John knew he had to get my back strong again as soon as possible, so that I could get back to my routine of tennis and weight training. He tailored my exercises to increase my strength and flexibility in tennis. After several weeks, I felt that I was strong as ever. My PT sessions were now over. Several months later, my summer team won a trophy for finishing 1st place in an A position. I felt proud.

John Fox was a good part of my successful comeback in tennis. I realize that my physical therapy experience will always be a part of my life. John reinforced the notion that stretching and strengthening routines are not just a part of repairing an injury but should be a constant part of everyone’s life. I observed both young and old going through this process and realized how important it is for life long fitness.

I have since and always recommend John Fox for physical therapy. His dedication, knowledge and personal attention makes him an “elite” physical therapist. Any patient of his is certainly in good hands.

Hip/Leg Pain

I couldn’t walk 30 feet without stopping to rest to relieve the tension in my left leg. My only relief was to lay down.

So I came to John Fox who said that if I gave him 6 weeks he would get rid of my pain or at least minimize it to an acceptable level – and I thought “yeah, right!” (I had already been to a physical therapist, and nothing worked).

But in seven weeks my pain is gone and has not returned. I cancelled my surgery. Thanks to John and the team of rehabilitation specialists who kept thinking I was a turkey wishbone while stretching me. But thankfully, they never split the wish bone and John kept his promise.

I extend to all of them, my gratitude and thanks for getting me pain free and allowing me to resume activities (i.e., golf, walking, etc.).

Knee Pain

Have done PT in other places and never felt as well as I do now. The quality and caring of the personel here is of the highest standards. They know your needs and work with you giving you the total care needed. You walk out of their facility feeling 99% better than when you walked in. I could hardly walk when I started and today I am leaving walking with more ease.

Romney A.

Peter Z.

SportsCare Physical Therapy completely changed my life! I had total knee replacement. I heard wonderful things about SportsCare Physical Therapy, especially John and Tatiana. All the things I heard did not even come close to the care and concern these 2 exceptional physical therapists had for my well being. The rehabilitation was challenging, fun and effective. For those who are reading this testimonial, if anyone in your family is in need of physical therapy, I highly recommend that they seek out John or Tatiana for the care that you look for in a healthcare provider.

To the future patient of Sports Care Physical Therapy,

Felt this was important to write and explain what you are about to go through. In February of 2015 I suffered a major right knee injury. I was to have my 5th knee surgery and the 3rd ACL reconstruction. Of course I was extremely nervous about my future and ability to once again fully recover. After my surgery was completed, successfully, I was now about to start my PT. Of course my doctor, DR. Jeffery Guttman, had his suggestions and recommendations. I was clearly looking for something more local. Through word of mouth and searching the internet, I looked into Sports Care PT. I emailed them with some questions and concerns. Within a half hours’ time I received a call from Joanne at the front desk. She helped me set up and evaluation appointment and then I spoke to Laurie with my insurance info. So far everything seemed seamless. I would soon learn that this was the normal operation Sport Care PT, along with Jessica as well.

The therapist assigned to my needs was Tatiana Malkina D.P.T. Right off from the start I felt very comfortable with how things were being asked and answered during my evaluation. During this time I was also introduced to John Fox P.T, M.A., C.W.T., and owner. My nervousness of a successful rehab was no longer. They both ensured that my rehab would be successful and complete. Within the first few weeks I felt like I could not have made a better decision. Tatiana made me feel like I was her only patient, although she was working with several others. She not only understood my ability to perform some simple task, she helped achieve higher expectations then I had set for myself. I soon came to realize that all I had to do was sit back and listen. At all times she would observe and correct to make sure the rehab was exactly how it needed to be done. She would make small adjustments to make them more effective. Tatiana also made a trip to personally meet my Doctor and thoroughly review my rehab protocol so everyone was on the same page. In all my years I never had a PT do something like that.

A few times during my rehab I would hit a wall and at times seemed to be stuck. Tatiana and John would confer and set things differently so I would see progress in other areas as well. My rehab was not about just my knee, but my mental and full body rehab. My confidence within myself to get through this grew with each appointment. During my rehab there was a few times I would be unable to go, due to vacation. That did not stop the rehab. I was sent with a program of exercises each time and before I left the office, once again it was demonstrated me.

My rehab was long and tedious, eight months in time. Upon my discharge date I felt outstanding. I was able to return to my normal lifestyle. I know it would not have been possible if not for the outstanding care that I had received here at Sports Care Physical Therapy. All through the process my Doctor was always encourage by my progress. I would like to thank John, Kevin, Jessica, Laurie, and Joanne. Most of all I would love to say a huge THANK YOU to Tatina ! Without you and everyone else, my recovery would not have been possible.

I was recommeded to SportsCare by a friend of mine. I told my doctor of my decision and he said he was pleased to hear where I was going. I had received a double total knee replacement by Dr Krauss. When I arrived for physical therapy I was hurting, tight, swollen and unable to walk without a walker. Following one day I was walking with a cane. After a few visits I was doing all my exercises and the range of motion of my knees was returning. I used the pool one time a week which was great. The pool really helped relearn what you forgot when it came to walking plus there was no pain in the pool.The one-on-one personal care is greatly appreciated and the friendliness and care is shown to its highest level. It’s a pleasure to come to physical therapy. Thank you.

I was referred to SportsCare Physical Therapy by a friend of mine. My diagnosis was a torn ACL ligament with meniscus damage to the left knee. I initially started physical therapy with John Fox prior to surgery to build leg strength and increase my flexibility. This really helped me in my post-operative phase of my recovery. It has been one month since surgery and I have approximately 135 degrees of range of motion. Swelling and pain have decreased significantly and I am now working with John Fox to regain my leg strength.

I feel I am way ahead of schedule in my recovery thanks to John and his PT program. John is an extremely dedicated professional and works with all his patients to achieve maximim results. I would highly recommend SportsCare Physical Therapy.

Ankle/Foot Pain

I was referred to SportsCare Physical Therapy by my Aunt, uncle, and cousins. My cousins had injured themselves playing sports. When I injured themselves playing sports. When I injured both my Achilles tendons, my cousins told me to see John. My pediatric Orthopedist, Russell Crider, also recommended John for sports injuries.

I first came to John in September. I could barely walk, let alone play soccer. John worked very had and showed great patience with my recovery. I am now playing 3 times a week with little or no pain. I am running, shooting, and scoring in soccer. With everyones help, I was voted MVP goalie in the league.

Thanks to everyone at SportsCare Physical Therapy.

In September I totally ruptured my right Achilles tendon playing basketball. Dr. Piontkowski surgically repaired the tendon and I was in a cast for 6 weeks. Then the cast was removed, I searched for a local physical therapist to assist in my recovery. My insurance company gave me a few choices and one of the physical therapists I had to choose from was John Fox. When I called, he brought me in almost immediately. The first day I came in I was on crutches. I left that day walking on my own. John’s facility gave me everything (and then some) I needed to get back to normal. His patients (including myself) have a close relationship with him and each other and that is something one can hardly find. After two months of therapy, I am almost at full strength. For an injury that takes six months to a year to heal I feel great at little over two months thanks to John. I recommend John to anyone that wants to feel at home on their way to recovery. Thanks John.
