Jenna and her team are so amazing, I couldn’t be happier with the rehab they provided. I had tendonitis and other ailments in my foot and ankle when I first started with Jenna and her team. I was limping and had pain when walking yet they were able to coach me through to ultimately finishing a marathon. I really appreciate their expertise, patience, and kindness. With each week I felt better and better and graduated with a toolbox of methods to stay injury free. In the past it was difficult for me to commit to PT because of the time it takes but Jenna and her team helped me feel dedicated to the journey and were flexible with my schedule. I’m so grateful I landed at this Pivot locations. Thank you!!!

From the young ladies at the front desk to the assistants to the Therapist, my experience was stellar. Professional yet fun, encouraging and supportive, I looked forward to every visit. My problems were addressed and I was very pleased with My results. I highly recommend Pivot.

Pivot PT has been amazing. Everyone who works there is welcoming, supportive, and knowledgeable. Couldn’t have asked for better people to help me recover from ACL reconstruction.

I highly recommend Pivot physical therapy after my experience there. I used direct access after experiencing sudden back pain from a workout.James not only helped me recover quickly; he is also kind, friendly and witty. He was attentive to my progress and provided lots of feedback on my performance of the exercises, and tips for self-care. The atmosphere there is pleasant and warm.Best of all, he discharged me promptly when I was ready. As much as I enjoyed my time there, I do have other things to do. I hope I never need PT again, but if I do, it will be straight back to Pivot.

Without the help of Pivot I’m unsure how I would have recovered physically and emotionally from a right ACL tear. They were there for me from pre op, through surgery, and post op guiding me with exercises, tips, and support. The whole staff is amazing and caring and gets you where you need to go, working closely with your personal goals. Jenna is truly the best and runs an amazing clinic.

I came to Pivot in Point Breeze with tendinitis in one heel. The team headed by James and including Seth, Enoch and several others were friendly, caring and easy to talk to. They shared information about my treatment in ways I could understand. Every visit started with “How was your weekend?” so that I knew everyone felt invested in me as a person. I hope never to go back, but if I needed to I wouldn’t hesitate.

I sprained my MCL and then made it worse by pretending it wasn’t injured. James was great in coaching me through an extended recovery process. I didn’t just need guidance on exercises/sets/reps, I needed someone to point out the progress I was making when I felt hopeless, and to give me ideas for things I could do rather than focusing on what I couldn’t. Got all of that, very grateful. Conveniently located a couple of blocks from my climbing gym, where most of my injuries occur. Will be back next time.

Words cannot describe how much this physical therapy clinic has done for me. I had prehab before surgery for a synovial cyst on my spine. This was from June of 2022 until March of 2023. After surgery I had rehab until my goals were met. My therapist, James was the most caring and compassionate person. He is professional and methodical. I am very sad to leave the staff and James. I have and would recommend this place 1000%.

I tell all of my friends and family to go see James at Pivot in Point Breeze when they complain of an ailment that needs PT attention! He was incredibly kind, encouraging, and resourceful. I was spared back surgery from my time here!

I have only positive things to say about Pivot PT! For one, they were able to get me in much faster than UPMC physical therapy and their billing system is much easier to use. I started working with James specifically back in February when my chronic neck and upper back pain became too painful to ignore. I am a Latin dancer on a performance team and it was imperative that my PT treatment plan still allow me to continue practicing and dancing regularly. James was very understanding of my priorities and his plan enabled me to make steady progress to being not only pain-free but also stronger than I've ever been. My dance technique has even improved because of physical therapy!I worked with him again this past month to address some acute knee pain. I was able to do Direct Access and I'm just about ready to be discharged after just a few sessions. Once again James was able to scaffold the stretches and strengthening exercises to meet me at my current ability and lead me to a point of being much stronger and more stable in my knee and hip.In addition to being a fantastic physical therapist, James is also fun and great to talk to. I also appreciate all of the Pivot PT staff for their friendly and professional demeanor and highly recommend anyone who needs physical therapy to come here.

I worked with James on patellar tendonitis that I developed while doing jumping exercises. He identified the underlying causes (certain areas of muscle weakness, technique, flexibility), and asked me what my goals of PT were (to be able to do jumping exercises again without pain). I felt supported and that all of the work we were doing was directly supporting my goals. We had about 8 sessions of personalized exercises, as well as a daily at-home routine. He clearly cares deeply about his patients, and wants them to achieve their goals. I looked forward to my sessions every week! Can't recommend Pivot Pt Breeze enough.

I had the fortune of meeting James and the supporting staff at Pivot after a lower back muscle sprain and consistent pain which was physically limiting for me. For context, I have been an active individual who works out 5-6 times a week. During the 3 weeks of PT with James, I was able to work on tools to strengthen my back and hips (which as it turned out, were also in bad shape) and get back to training for my first Marathon this Sunday. The staff is very professional and keep the maintain the area to the highest standards of hygiene.I am very grateful to the knowledgeable and highly competent staff working at Pivot for getting me up and running to train for my marathon.PS : James is also a very wholesome person and fun to talk to as well! He also helped me get my hands on a cheap registration for the marathon!

I cannot recommend Pivot enough. I was terrified I was going to need surgery after an injury that hadn't healed in months. Everyone on staff was very helpful and pleasant, and a special thank you to Jenna, who I primarily worked with. She kept the exercises challenging and fun, and after only 6 weeks I was able to return to a normal life with normal levels of activity. This is by far the best (of 3) physical therapy practice I have been to

Went here for back, shoulder and hip pain due to excessive computer use. After a couple months the pain was mostly gone. James was very quick at identifying the problems, and was very pragmatic with the advice and techniques he gave. Physical therapy always involves take-home exercises but James gives targeted, quick things you can do which are achievable and respectful of your time. As long as you do the exercises you will get better ?The atmosphere is also very nice. Chatter among the staff and patients is common as you work through your exercises. I'll miss coming here!

Where do I even begin? I had gotten into a car accident back in June of 2022 and ended up having a herniated disc in my neck. I made an appointment with Pivot PT and it was one of the best things I did. I went from having limited neck movement without pain, numbness and tingling down my arm, headaches and dizziness with head turns, to now where I am just about at my baseline. It took me several months of hard work, PT, and home exercises to get to the point where I am comfortable driving for several hours without symptoms, able to get through a whole movie without having a headache, able to turn my head without getting dizzy.The staff here are absolutely wondering and they truly care about their patients. From the front desk receptionist Lydia, PT tech Noelle, and PTs Jenna and James. Jenna was my PT from the beginning to end and my biggest supporter! We have had countless laughters from stories shared but also got down to business. She definitely pushed me to where I am today but also made sure I was comfortable with the exercises that were added or with the difficulty levels. The entire staff has been a part of my success as I completed PA school, studied for my boards (and passed), and now as I relocate back home. I truly wish that we had met under different circumstances but glad I met everyone nonetheless. Although I am sad to say goodbye to everyone, I 100000% recommend coming here for your treatment! They will not disappoint!
