"Can’t say enough ! Can’t say enough about all the positives that I have experienced at Indepence Physical Therapy in Uncasville. Everyone is extremely professional and friendly. Lots of good vibes here. I have had the pleasure of working with Carissa Finney, DPT during my therapy visits. Carissa has great communication skills, and from day one I felt comfortable and safe in her care! I deeply appreciate her knowledge and guidance in treatments for my specific injuries on my road to recovery. She is very encouraging and I love her positive approach in making my visits pleasurable yet challenging. Seeing lots of improvements! I highly recommend Carissa and Independence Physical Therapy!

"To say I am very happy with this place for PT, would be a gross under statement. I tried a different place first, but left. These Physical Therapists are very knowledgeable and fully attentive. I am grateful for the progress I can make here. Thank you."

"Ashley my PT is awesome. She’s knowledgeable, professional, and really cares about making you feel better. She takes time to ask questions about how you’re feeling, if you’re having aches or pains and gives new exercises to address what’s going on. I’m so glad I’m at independence physical therapy with Ashley!"

"I had a great experience at independence PT in Uncasville CT. Christine, my therapist, was very knowledgeable, responsive, caring, thorough, and supportive as I progressed through my therapy. She kept me on track to achieve my goals so that I could maintain my progress on my own without having to go to therapy for an extended period of time. I highly recommend Independence PT."

"I absolutely LOVE the staff here and Ashley! I’ve had Ashley help me with work on my elbow after breaking it, she advised me it might be of a more serious concern after a few months of PT, in which it was. I had a loose fragment of my bone floating around in the joint, resulting in a surgery. I feel like I would have never known if Ashley didn’t tell me to get updated imaging. We are currently working on my knee complaints and she is so sweet, understanding, and hilarious. I always look forward to coming here! I would HIGHLY recommended this place to anyone looking for physical therapy."

"Dr. McKenzie is the best! I have gone elsewhere two other times for PT since an injury in 2019 and I have not felt so good since before that injury. She treats the entire body and all connected issues which is what I believe is the reason for this huge success. I had thought I’d just have to live with pain for the rest of my life. Highest recommendation. (Also the rest of the staff and other PTs are super friendly and helpful)"

"I've been doing PT here for 6 months now, five of those have been in the pool. All three of the pool physical therapists are amazing, and know exactly how far to push you while letting your body get stronger without further injuring yourself. If I'm in more pain than usual on a PT day, they know to not push my therapy as hard. I love going and highly recommend them."

"When I needed a physical therapist , I asked for recommendations from friends. Christine’s name surfaced several times.Her work with me was amazing right from the start.I measure the competency of medical people by their ability to listen to the patient, assess the situation, come up with a plan and share that plan with the patient. Christine stands at the top of that list in meeting that criteria.Her wealth of knowledge in the field and tailoring what could apply to me was outstanding. She encourages me to practice exercises at home and provided Medridge videos so I could practice at home to do them correctly. Every session is personal for me because of Christine. How lucky for me to have such a professional and caring Physical Therapist."

"I have to say If the management isn’t already aware, you have an outstanding physical therapist in your midst. Her name is Christine M Bauch MSPT. I never thought I would find another physical therapist that I felt comfortable with and could have complete trust in. I have it in the past, and it is rare that you find a person in this field that is not just about the mechanics and physical part but encompass is a little bit of psychology too, it’s an important part to be able to connect with a patient to get them to practice and put in place the exercises necessary to get better even if in the beginning those exercises are painful if also, if you aren’t progressing that they’re not afraid to tell you that there may be more going on with whatever issue you’re having, and suggest to see a specialist Everything Christine did for me and suggested was 100% on the money and corroborated by the specialist that she did all the right things up to this point so I thank you for being my physical therapist and I will highly recommend to anyone that ask that she is one of the best thank you and I will continue to come to Independence physical Therapy Route 32 Uncasville,CT Again thank you"

"Since July of this year I have received PT care for post hip surgery (May 29, 2023). This PT has been provided largely by Cynthia Holliday at IPT. My post recovery from this surgery has been difficult. There were weight restrictions ordered by my surgeon for a number of months following this surgery. This led to limited use of core mussels which made recovery to be quite the challenge. But with her care I am stronger and I get around much more easily each day. But I still suffer pain from my back and down through my right leg to my angle. I have been told that this is do to Lumbar Radiculopathy (thought to be causing sciatic nerve pain). I will be receiving spinal steroid injections ordered by my spinal orthopedist doctor within a couple of weeks. He hopes this will reduce the inflammation and pain I am experiencing while confirming that this is not a related or healing issue with my hip - post surgery. Yesterday I received a referral from him for further PT, focusing on this this sciatic pain. What better endorsement can I offer to attest to the good care I have received and hope to continue to receive then to seek this extended care from IPT. I will be bringing the referral to Cynthia at my next appointment with her on Thursday, November 30, 2023."

"Dear Ms. Jeanne Gilbert, PT, DPT Independent Physical Therapy (IPT), I am writing this letter to express my sincere gratitude for the physical and aquatic therapy services provided by your clinic. I would like to extend my appreciation to Ms. Heather Geyer DPT and Ms. Anne (Annie) Gavitt DPT for their exceptional services and support during my recovery from both shoulder rotator cuff issues and whole - body strength issues due to a long (3 Month hospital stay). The knowledgeable, professional, and friendly staff at IPT made me feel comfortable and confident throughout my treatment. Their welcoming smiles and great encouraging attitude towards their patients are truly commendable. I am grateful for the care and attention that I received during my time at IPT. The services provided by your clinic have been instrumental in my recovery, and I cannot thank you enough for the same. Once again, thank you for the excellent services provided by your clinic. I would highly recommend IPT to anyone seeking physical therapy services. "

Thank you, Jeanne, and everyone else on your staff!"

"I was in need of aqua therapy to restore strength, mobility & relieve pain after months of weakness & atrophy from a prior medical injury. Pool PT sessions combined with intermittent land sessions & home exercises were instrumental in my healing journey. I began therapy struggling to walk, move and complete simple daily care tasks. The treatment I received was structured, progressive & responsive to my needs. My therapists were knowledgeable & compassionate in their instruction to ensure I was getting the most out of therapy through proper execution of exercises & adjusting for pain/difficulty as needed. They offered appropriate challenge and support, giving me agency in my progress & success. I have made tremendous progress working with IPT. My recovery journey continues and I look forward to returning for any future therapies prescribed. "

"My experience with IPT has been great. The physical therapists are top notch. They truly care about their clients. I have issues with my back, hips and knees, plus I am over 70. My treatment gave me more strength and mobility than I ever thought I would regain. In addition since I completed my therapy, I receive newsletters with exercises that have been helpful reminders of what I can do to keep on target. Jeanne and her staff are phenomenal and I highly recommend IPT to anyone who needs a tweak, adjustment, strengthening, and/or rehabilitation of any kind. "

They didn’t make me feel like I was crazy like most doctors did in the past, since I’m so young. They took their time to see what could be causing the issues I was having and developed a plan- dry needling, Pilates, and a series of other treatments they did.

"I've been to several physical therapy practices over the years for various reasons. While none of them were necessarily bad, there was always something I wish had been different: that they'd given me a little more difficult exercises, or perhaps been a little more empathetic and gone easier on a particularly difficult day, or that the office hours allowed more scheduling flexibility. When I injured my shoulder earlier this year, I spent a lot of time researching local practices. I wanted to be certain that not only could I make their office hours work with my crazy schedule, but that the therapists had plenty of knowledge and tools to utilize in helping me to rehabilitate what could be a potentially complex injury. I ultimately chose to book with Independence Physical Therapy, and it has been a great decision. I initially began my work with Jen. She was very nice and knowledgeable, but for whatever reason, I ended up being moved to work with Christine after a couple of appointments. We clicked immediately, and she has been exactly what I need in a physical therapist. She is not only an amazing wealth of knowledge, but knows how to apply that knowledge in the most effective and empathetic ways. If something we're doing isn't working, or I'm struggling with it; she finds a modification or an alternative. If I'm having a particularly rough day, she reminds me that PT doesn't need to be painful and horrible to be effective and we work on less strenuous activities and pain relief measures instead. When I wasn't making improvements that we'd expected and hoped to see and I voiced my concerns, she empathetically agreed instead of telling me a lie to try to make me feel better. Her acknowledgement of the situation helped me feel empowered to push for further testing to determine the exact cause of my pain (which ultimately required scheduling surgery). I have had the pleasure of working with other therapists on the team while Christine was unavailable, and they have all been wonderful as well. Everyone, front desk staff included, has been very helpful and kind. I am currently taking a bit of a sabbatical from PT, awaiting my upcoming surgery. While I am, of course, not looking forward to the recovery process; I feel a little more at ease knowing that Christine and the team at Independence will be there to help guide me through it."

Within the first few visits my therapist discovered the root cause of multiple secondary injuries, and selected a wide variety of challenging exercises to increase my leg strength and mobility. Reps and resistance were increased as I made progress. Katie was professional, very knowledgeable about her job, and a pleasant conversationalist.

Had surgery and the required non-weight bearing period, then landed at this Physical Therapy practice with Ashley. The "broken" know about the dark days of recovery and mine were amplified due to isolation and the global pandemic. Ashley and all the kind folks at the Uncasville location were bravely carrying on in-person visits and gave me the care and encouragement I needed to get moving again. My gratitude is boundless.

"My experience at IPT was fantastic. Staff are kind and compassionate. Every therapist I worked with was very skilled, with special attention to Allie. Allie is very knowledgeable and makes PT fun. I felt she truly cared about my recovery I would recommend Allie and IPT to anyone in need. I almost feel bad being discharged as I will miss everyone!"

"Great job in healing a busted back! I was unable to sleep soundly due to a nerve issue from my injured back. Melissa, at the Uncasville office not only resolved that issue but provided me the exercise/stretching plan to keep the pain away. NO DRUGS, NO SURGERY."

"These professionals have been great. Took my child to another provider last spring with absolutely no improvement. The orthopedist suggested we try here. My child has noticed remarkable improvements and is eager to go to each session. The PT we have is awesome and extremely knowledgeable. The office staff are incredibly helpful and accommodating. They have exceeded my expectations."

"I have made progress in Leaps and Bounds with the exercises and guidance through the therapists at Independence Physical Therapy. They are true to their name! They really want us to be independent and be able to maintain our independence through home exercise and strengthening the parts of our body that were weak or injured or whatever. Wonderful, caring ,skilled, knowledgeable people. Due to issues I've had that were very chronic and long-term, I have had many many practitioners. These people are tops! Thank God for them all."

"So far my condition is improving but I feel like I have more to do. I have two day land one day water therapy .The staff is very helpful and pitch in to assist each one if one of them is called away to deal with something else. I get the feeling that the staff really cares that you get and feel better. I am on a lot of medication for my back pain/problem and at the point if this therapy does works I like to find away to final get off or lessen the amount I am on. This will need to be done at some type of detox center since I've on some of them for 10 years. The Independence Physical Therapy Center is small enough to care and just large enough to have the variety of equipment to help with your therapy needs."

Testimonials

To Jeanne Gilbert and the Staff at Independence Physical Therapy:

I wanted to take the opportunity to thank the staff at Independence Physical Therapy for all they have done. The staff was great, from the front desk girls who always greeted me with a smile and were quite helpful with making appointments, to Mikey who was very friendly and kind, to my wonderful Physical Therapists, Cindy and Annie, who were always so caring and friendly. They were extremely helpful with any questions I may have had. Their professionalism was second to none. They were truly the best! I would highly recommend IPT to anyone. Thanks again for making a difficult time so much better. IPT is awesome!!

Katie and Lily Wesche

Great place, great people, fantastic service. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Mike DePascale

I need to let you all know that in my opinion, I have probably the best Physical Therapist in Connecticut, Cynthia Holliday, DPT. She is professional, knowledgeable, gentle in her touch and an excellent teacher. Yes, she teaches all the time. Every client is patiently taught how to do their homework. And her students are given hands on training, the only kind to be taught (and learned) in this profession. She has a phenomenal sense of humor, such that I have given her a nickname. 🙂 One that you would have to ask her what it is. 😉 If she is willing to share.

You, the owners and management at IPT are so very fortunate to have such a solidly based professional practitioner working in your office.

Susan Burns Rogers

Independence Physical Therapy Thank you so much for your input. We feel the very same way about Cindy and the rest of our staff at IPT!

February 2018 - Well like all bad pennies, I’ve turned up again! AND again have Cindy Halliday as Therapist. Same comments as above apply now.

Susan Burns Rogers

I have had nothing but great results. The staff works well together.

Joann Strickland

Thanks to Independence Physical Therapy I have my life back. The pain I was in was getting in the way of sleep, work and being able to do basic things. After my first visit I could already see some relief. It takes a lot of work to rehabilitate after an injury and they do it. They follow up with you in between visits, treat you like family when you are there and push/encourage you through the difficult parts. They are so professional and caring. It has been months since I have been there and I still am doing so well. If you need PT this is the place to go to heal!

Caroline Traynor Chapman

Moose Gilbert is just tremendous. I injured my knee and had surgery which was far more than expected. A job offer came where at two months post op I was to run a mile and a half timed. I passed with flying colors and owe it all to Moose Gilbert. He has the unique ability to push you and has the skill to know when to pull back. He is honest always knowing what he can get from you. and respectful of you as a patient that you'll have good and bad days. Moose cares. There is good reason he was voted top PT professional regionally recently in The Day. I send everyone I know to Moose Gilbert at IPT!!

Mike Spellman

My family is thankful to have found this wonderful group. Moose has treated three of our family - he is dedicated, connects with his patients, takes time to get to know you and what you're trying to achieve, and knows how to motivate you to give it your best. The service and results have been top of the line!

Ellen Riddick Russo

I went in for take in interview and Tracy started with a few excercises. The second day in she began with stretching then exercises for adhesions in shoulder. When I was telling her about the pain in my neck, she took time to loosen up those muscles. We then finished up with more exercises. Going back for more next wee.

Kathy Paul Umland

I had rotator cuff surgery and my surgeon told me 6-7 months out of work bc of the size tear I had, l knew right away who I wanted for a therapist, Moose, it was a no brainer for me.He was busy with patients from teenagers to elderly people from great athletes to everyday people and l always felt that when I was there I had his undivided attention and with his help I made it back to work in 4 1/2 months, my Dr was very pleased with the care I received @ IPT and the girls in the office went above and beyond helping me to deal with my insurance company. I can't say enough positive things about my overall experience. I would & have recommended IPT to anyone that will listen!

Tony Chiaradio

This was essentially our intake interview. Our therapist (Cindy) was very patient. She asked pertinent questions to get the full measure of our needs and set up a treatment routine that was not too demanding to get us started. We feel very comfortable with the treatment we'll be getting at Independence.

David Marsh

Amazing progress when I went there and therapists are personable, caring, and knowledgeable!!

I've been remiss at getting to this! Once more IPT has done what they do BEST! Physical Therapy returning my broken arm to useful condition was completed a couple weeks back and I got the Tee shirt! Thank You Shannon! You're a TUFF little Lady! Heather, you had a piece of that action as well; Thank You. 👌👌 Can't leave without a word to Jeanie the Physical Therapist in Chief. Many Thanks to you also.
