I woke up on my 50th birthday with extreme hip and lower back pain...and ignored it for several months because I thought pain was a normal part of ageing. I sought PT after I threw out my SI joint because, as it turns out, I had dislocated both hips the day before my 50th birthday (trying to swan dance my way out of a bad fall after losing my balance reaching for something on a high shelf).I did not expect to ever be back to 100%, especially not within 8 weeks of treatment. My goal was 75% and continued improvement over time (and with lots of Tylenol), so I was pleasantly surprised that after my first treatment - when Dr. Lance pushed my hips back into place - the pain on my right side (the more painful side) was suddenly pain-free!My muscles were still wound extremely tight and there was significant loss of strength. Over 2 months, Highbar's Physical Therapists worked with me to not just reduce but eliminate my pain and swelling, and increase my strength and range of motion to 100%. I completed my PT on a Thursday and attended a party the following Saturday; I was thrilled to be able to wear 4" stiletto heels - but being able to dance the night away in them was an added bonus! (Yes, I was sore the next day, but did not need any NSAIDS or painkillers).Highbar taught me that pain is NOT a normal part of ageing, but your body's way of telling you that there is something wrong that needs to be fixed. I highly recommend them to anyone who is experiencing chronic pain or is in need of physical therapy as a part of recovery from injury or surgery.

My son who is an adult with intellectual disabilities was treated for his first episode of severe back pain with associated sciatica at High Bar in East Providence From the start everyone has been so kind. Lindsey, his therapist is outstanding; kind and patient but able to recommend exactly the right exercises to speed him to recovery! I would definitely recommend coming here!

I honestly was not a huge fan and I think it's because I have more experience with physical therapy. During your first appointment, it is great and they did what I expected, evaluated me and provided me with recommended exercises. However, as a good patient, I do those exercises at home during my free time to help with my injuries. When I am physically at my appointment though, I am expecting to do activities that I CANNOT do at home by myself. This was not my experience. Instead I came in and did the exact same exercises that I was already assigned (or could have easily been assigned at home). I felt like this was an incredibly inefficient use of my time. I hope the staff takes this as constructive feedback. I believe you should judge how compliant your patient's are with their exercises and then tailor the session. Don't just make it generic.

All the staff are friendly and helpful. Physical therapists are open to feedback and encourage stretching after work outs. Homework is encouraged and progressive building activities to keep you moving towards your goals.

Incredible staff. They really paid attention to subtle shifts in my areas of pain and with their care and recommendations for exercise at home, I was happy to get relief much more quickly than I expected. Thank you!

All of the therapists that have worked on my issue are very knowledgeable, caring, professional and pleasant to work with. They have been great at explaining what was happening with my injury and what to expect for recovery at different points in my progress. I have appreciated their patience in answering all of my questions. I have made excellent progress since coming in for therapy sessions, along with following the recommended at home therapy exercise plans. This is the second time I have needed their help and both times the therapy provided relief from pain and ultimately recovery to normal. I would definitely recommend them. Hopefully I won't need therapy again in the future, but if I do, I would definitely return to them first.

I went to Performance Physical Therapy due to my sciatic nerve pain and other issues I was suffering from. I could barely walk or go up and down the stairs. Everyone there was very helpful, caring and professional. I am doing much better with walking and going up and down the stairs. Thank you everyone, especially Dr. Shannon Karbowski, PT, DPT Pysical Therapist for caring and helping me get to the point I am today.
