I am indebted to Dr. Rosenblatt. Yoni has saved my life (well not really, but he has saved my knee and shoulder). Yoni is the only therapist whom I have gone to that listened, treated me individually, and worked out an individual game plan. Every time that I went, he would look over my chart with a fresh look, and tell me something like, "okay you have worked on strength last time, today well work on endurance". He gave me individual exercises, and spent the entire session with me. Then he would evaluate me and tell me what exercises I should do at home based on how I performed. If I did well, he would build on it, if I struggled, he would scale back. He was amazing. Also, he worked with my crazy schedule, (and I dont know if I should mention it, but even came in once at a weird time just for me). Because he treated me one on one, and understood my memory, he would video exercises, and email them to me, so I would remember how to do them at home. (I dont know if he does that for everyone, or just me). I had torn my shoulder, and he looked it over, and was able to tell what was wrong with it before even seeing the doctor. He gave me advise how to build up the surrounding muscles so I would not need surgery to use it without pain. A few years later when I popped my ACL, he again was able to diagnose it (which was confirmed with the x-rays and such), and he set me up with a competent surgeon, gave me pre-surgery exercise, post-surgery exercise, and took complete control of the situation. (The surgeon was highly rated and did a good job. However, after the post-op where he ensured that it was successful, he told me to go to therapy, without letting me know how long I should keep the brace on, etc. I had no idea what to do, and Yoni took me step by step throughout the entire process, to the point know that I now have full function). He even coached me towards the end on jogging to ensure that not only would I be able to use it, but that I could continue using it to my full potential. He also was very pleasing to deal with, with humor, personal care and sensitivity. (Even if some of the humor was directed at me :-) ). I seem to have some muscle issue, and have popped and torn quite a few over time. I have been to therapists that range from okay to terrible. Yoni by far outranked them, and even looked at and as a side treated some of the past injuries that another non-competent therapist dealt with. Even his needling thing which sounded bizarre actually worked and eased the pain. I have since moved, and have on occasion driven in, in part, just to see him. I would very very highly recommend him, Shlomo

i was sent to yoni and his team by dr. anand murthi, chief of shoulder and elbow surgery at union memorial hospital. dr. murthi was very specific in his instructions regarding my post-op care. under no uncertain terms i was to report to none other than yoni rosenblatt to help me recover from frozen shoulder, an extremely painful and debilitating condition that with or without surgery can take up to eighteen months to heal. dr. murthi performed a surgical procedure to release scar tissue causing the problem. in addition, he also injected stem cells into the same shoulders torn rotator cuff, adding a bit of a complication to my healing. yoni and his extremely creative, engaging, empowering, and dare i say loving? team of wonderful professionals worked with me, first three times a week, and then two times a week, for two and a half months, using every trick they could think of, to help me work through my pain and regain my range of motion. clearly, dr. murthi knew what he wanted for me. yoni kept in constant contact with him so that he would know exactly what we were accomplishing as therapy was progressing. it was a team effort! it appeared that yoni is hooked into many surgical teams in town because they trust him—his judgment, level-headedness, expertise, and his good humor. i dare say, anyone who needs professional help healing an aching body should give yoni a call. the true sports professionals are experts in how the body works, conditioning, sports training, as well as medical physical therapy, which i think contributes to their approach. no matter how difficult the work (physical and emotional), p.t. was an uplifting experience. i was even a bit concerned when yoni had to go out of town on business and i was left under others care. i had nothing to worry about. each p.t. had his or her own special talents that brought me closer to full healing. its a weird thing to say, but i kind of miss going, and i really miss everybody! chelsea! mary! bobby! and yoni!

I separated my shoulder while practicing Jiu Jitsu and had reconstructive surgery a few months ago. When it was finally time for me to get out of the massive sling, Yoni came up as a very strong recommendation from my surgeon. Having never been through physical therapy before, Id always thought of it as a tedious experience that both patient and therapist have to get through due to the unfortunate circumstances. However. as soon as I met Yoni in the beautifully rehabbed, fully equipped church and had my first session, I knew that I had to let go of my preconceptions. Aside from having great energy on a personal level, let me start by saying that Yoni and Tim are absolute pros. Theyre extremely knowledgeable in the field, and always made sure to explain why I was doing the exercises I was tasked with. They knew the right formula for the quickest and safest recovery, and I never felt like I was being tasked with too much or too little. Theyre both experienced and forward-thinking, and their approach was intelligent and balanced. The big thing though, was that at True Sports I felt like I was more than just a name in the billing books. Yoni REALLY wanted me to get better - it was like he took it upon himself to personally ensure my return to the sport. For the full duration of my time at True Sports, I felt like my recovery was a team effort with professional people who truly cared on a personal level. I believe that this by itself contributed to my recovery a ton. Sessions were one-on-one and Yoni and Tim never seemed rushed or distracted. What more can I say about these guys? They turned an experience I wasnt looking forward to at all into a fun and challenging ride and got me back from zero to full strength. Im extremely grateful for this, and for anyone shopping around for a great recovery experience, I would say its a no-brainer, True Sports PT is where you need to go.

I pulled something in my neck/shoulder lifting weights back in Sept 2014 and put off seeing a doctor hoping it would heal on its own. Of course it didnt, so I started searching for a PT in Baltimore. I have never been to a PT before so I ended up choosing True Sports because of their focus on sports-related injuries as well as their knowledge regarding newer PT techniques like dry needling. Even after my first visit I already knew I made the right choice. Their office is beautiful - bright, open, and airy. Both Tim and Yoni seem to have an endless knowledge of techniques and movements that helped me progress steadily. Also, I feel like I learned a lot about nerve pathways and pathologies as both Tim and Yoni were always more than happy to explain the mechanics and intended benefits of what we were doing. Honestly I actually had a lot of fun each session, which I didnt expect from physical therapy, and looked forward to how each exercise would progress and affect my injury. Tyler, a CSCS himself, is an excellent office manager and did a great job squeezing me in to True Sports busy schedule. All in all, I was healed and back to lifting heavy after two and a half months of rehab (much less than I initially expected when I was diagnosed with a cervical spine issue) and I believe that going forward, with the knowledge I gained working with True Sports, I have a better chance of remaining injury-free. That said, if I do hurt myself again, Ill be heading to True Sports!
