One-on-One Care

I had the good fortune of finding Chris over 10 years ago when I was searching for a physical therapist.  During this time period, I have relied on Chris many times for help with a variety of issues including back pain, knee pain, a concussion and a few other issues and she never fails to come through for me.  The one-on-one personalized attention combined with Chris's vast knowledge base is a formula for success that can't be beat and will get you on the road to recovery quickly. 

My shoulder started to hurt more and more and everyday activities were becoming difficult. Due to my injury, I was feeling older and bit hopeless about it. I went to Chris and step by step and exercise by exercise my shoulder healed under her care. Aside from her tremendous knowledge and compassion she gives abundant time too. There is no feeling whatsoever that you are being rushed out the door. Chris is warm, funny and personable. She really cares. The only reason I was sad when my shoulder healed was because I no longer needed PT.

For more than a decade, Lisa has applied her physical therapy skills to help me with various acute issues, including torn rotator cuff and joint replacements, as well as other chronic and painful spinal issues. In every case, her interventions have had positive outcomes that relieved pain, improved functioning and well-being. She is both a listener and a teacher, acknowledging what you convey and teaching you how to incorporate new ways in daily activities that make you feel better. For these reasons, I refer to her as my sage and compassionate healer. 

I have used Chris over several years to treat various injuries. I have always known her to be an excellent listener, kind, compassionate, understanding, and very knowledgeable. I am grateful to be her patient.

When my husband needed physical therapy rehab, friends and neighbors highly recommended he see therapist Lisa Sullivan. He was able to carryover into daily life his new awareness and thrived on the one-on-one sessions. Then, when I needed a knee replacement because of an "osteoarthritis" diagnosis, plus being an octogenarian with past back surgery, I wanted an expert, understanding therapist. Again, I looked to Lisa Sullivan to begin pre-op sessions to strengthen and prepare my muscles for the surgery. The weeks working at this with Lisa were a great confidence builder! Post-op sessions were spot-on precise, encouraging and totally on target. All my questions were professionally answered. All activity was getting results. I think of this practice as "Boutique PT" where y physical therapy needs are personally and individually focused on, culminating in positive results.

I have worked with Lisa Sullivan for 2 issues which were resolved. Lisa is a healer, as well as a physical therapist. She will assess your physical problem and develop a plan for rehab with great empathy and knowledge. In addition, she begins to inquire about your world in an invitational manner with an eye on healing the whole person. Her unique style makes physical therapy challenging and playful at the same time. I highly recommend Lisa Sullivan. You will walk away feeling energized and healed from your injuries.

I have been treated by Chris Bevacqua over the past 20 years for various issues including pre and post knee replacement, shoulder and lower back pain and plantar fasciitis. I found her to be extremely knowledgeable and able to explain the issue and treatment in terms that I could understand. She is thorough in her assessment of the problem and precise in her plan for my care. She uses different modalities to treat that particular complaint and explains each exercise clearly and observes that I am doing them correctly. She gives me an at-home plan that I am able to follow without being overwhelmed. I have complete trust in her ability to treat me and provide a plan for my continued recovery, and I would highly recommend her.

Chris is the best! My shoulder injury was quite upsetting to me as I had never been injured before. I needed PT and lots of encouragement. Chris provided both. She is extremely knowledgeable, supportive and patient; she took the time to answer all my questions. Best of all, except for several yoga poses, I feel back to normal and I anticipate with continued treatment, I’ll be doing those yoga poses. Chris is 5 stars out of 5!

Lisa was referred to me in the spring after I tore my meniscus. It was not the first time and I’d had PT before but the quality and skill didn’t compare with Lisa. The proof is in the pudding - the first round of PT did nothing. But after working with Lisa for about six weeks the improvement was real. Lisa not only knows what she is doing she explains why she is doing it and how it will help. She is hands on for a full session, every session. She is careful not to overdo but also pushes as can be tolerated. And she is very personable. From now on I will not go to anyone else.
