After falling in the middle of a tennis match, I dislocated my shoulder and subsequently tore my labrum severely (240 degree tear). Once I committed to surgery, I realized through my research and conversation with my surgeon how important physical therapy would be in order to return to regular and athletic activity. It took me a little bit longer to find Santiso but I’m glad that I eventually did. Having had one PT session elsewhere, I was able to make a comparative decision before committing to the rehabilitation process with Aaron and his team. The first day that I met Aaron, I shared some background details and he immediately asked me relevant questions and proceeded to work on my shoulder to get an idea of where I was. Because of the severity of the surgery, it was recommended that I do not start physical therapy for 4 weeks therefore I was extremely close to having a frozen shoulder. Aaron then continued to make other observations that weren’t made at the other office I visited as well and gave me an idea of what to expect in order to move forward on a positive note. To say that I felt a strong sense of confidence and assurance after this first visit would be an understatement. It is now five months later and I have made significant progress (both to my surprise and the delight of my doctor), and have been given the stamp of approval to carefully return to volleys and ground strokes on the court. Considering the small milestones along the way (applying deodorant, raising my arm, lifting a 3 pound weight, etc.) I am surprised by the speed of the recovery. Aaron and his team (Maurice, Gabe, Cathryn) have been incremental in this every step of the way. The exceptional level of customer service with each interaction and the way that I was given just the right set of exercises and stretches (and most importantly feedback to make sure I was doing them correctly) each step of the way, are just some of the reasons why I’ve recommended Santiso informally to friends and am doing so on here. I can’t express enough in words how thankful I am to have stumbled onto Santiso; I definitely think that it is worth a visit to see why I feel so strongly about this.

*Santiso PT has made a profound positive impact on my life. I have been to see Aaron for therapy over the last 4 years. When I arrived 4 years I had a severe limp and was in incredible pain due to hip problems. Through Aaron and the team at Santiso PTs help I was able to walk properly and live a higher quality of life. * I am now back for therapy with Aaron and the team for a second time because of a hip replacement procedure. Again, I had the opportunity to select a place to rehab. Again, I am choosing Santiso PT. I choose to drive over 50 minutes to Santiso PT for a higher level of quality care. The rehab at Santiso PT is comprehensive, build strength, build endurance, execute proper form and the knowledge to care for my physical being that lasts beyond my sessions. I am confident that at the end of my rehab I will be better than new. Thank you Aaron for you high standards and never settling to do the best for patients. I am forever grateful for the impact you have made on my personal and professional life!! A forever grateful patient and forever Santiso Fan, Laurie Kerwin

I am an Emergency Medicine Physician and a Sports Medicine Fellow as well as former competitive swimmer on a national level. Aaron has been working on my shoulder after a my 3rd traumatic dislocation and surgery. I have had amazing results in just a few weeks of therapy. Extremely knowledgable and great skills, teaches me something every time I have a session. Easy to book appointments great environment location and staff. The environment is friendly and promotes healing. It looks like Aaron has done his research on how a clinic should be set up in order to get maximum results. Aaron and his stuff have great bedside manners, are skilled beyond their scope of expertise and make a gruelling and painful process fun and enjoyable. I was not aware of the Santiso PT clinic prior to my surgery but I am glad I was referred to this group. I plan on referring ALL my patients to Aaron. Keep up the great work and thank you for getting me ready to save lives again. God bless!!!

My mom and I have had a wonderful experience with Aaron and his staff (especially Kathryn). They are extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. You feel so welcomed the minute you walk in the door--something that rarely happens in other offices for medically-related concerns! While my mom is the true patient at Santiso PT, Aaron helped me after I shared that I was having issues with my wrist. He not only made my wrist much better, but he also informed me that my wrist pain was actually the result of a weak shoulder. I would never have known this if I had not seen him. I cant say enough good things about both Aaron and Kathryn. They have helped my mom with a shoulder injury as well as with her debilitating vertigo. I cannot thank them enough for watching over my 70 year old mom. It is so nice to know that they truly care about her and her health. They are honestly the best, and my mom and I highly, highly recommend them for any PT needs.

I have been a multi-sport athlete my entire life. Last year I suffered an extreme multi-ligament injury to my left knee. I have had three different surgeries since. Santiso PT is the third therapy clinic I have been to, and by far the absolute best!! Aaron is amazing and extremely knowledgeable. Not only does he know what he is talking about, but he really actually cares. The entire staff is very helpful and always working with a smile....sometimes even singing along to the background music! Aaron looks at injuries differently than any therapist Ive known. I was 7 weeks postop when I first went to Aaron. In the 3 weeks I have been going I have so much more strength in my leg, confidence in my knee, less pain in my back, no longer walking with a limp, and Im actually starting to believe that I can one day be 100% again playing all my favorite sports! Please do not hesitate to see Aaron. Your body will thank you!!

Aaron Santiso is without a doubt the best physical therapist I have ever been to, along with his staff, Catherine is so nice and patient. I felt so comfortable from the moment I spoke to the he lovely Catherine on the phone, then coming in for my first appointment. Aaron is so knowledgeable, the care he gives is so genuine and I know Im in the right place for my therapy. I feel confident in Aaron helping me get back to 110% and look forward to that day to come. If anyone needs a physical therapist that truly cares about his patients, I highly recommend Aaron Santiso & his amazing staff! I am so grateful & I appreciate the care I am receiving and the honesty, along with the positive feeling I get that there is hope in healing 110% and am so excited for that day to come and very confident I will be since Im here.... Thank you!!!! A grateful patient, Doreen Avitabile

I cant say enough good things about this place. I went to 2 other physical therapists before Aaron, and there is definitely a difference between him and them. I had a neck and spine injury for about 3 months. Aaron is extremely knowledgeable. He diagnosed my issue right away and explained it to me as any doctor would explain to their parent, and he gave me sets of exercises that were specific to my injury. I immediately started to notice improvements. After about 4 weeks, my pain symptoms have are almost gone and my range of motion in my neck is completely restored(with just a little pain when I turn my head all the way to one side). The staff, and overall atmosphere, is great too. Very laid back, yet professional. Ive never had to wait for treatment for more than just a few minutes. I highly recommend!
