Dr. Tom is an integral part of my wellness team. We worked together to develop an exercise plan to build strength and... be pain free. When I started seeing Dr. Tom, I was having terrible pain in several areas of my back. Dr. Tom listened to my concerns with genuine caring. He taught me exercises to do to release pain upon occurrence and to build core muscle. I followed Dr. Tom’s treatment plan and did the exercises he recommended. Today, I am pain free. And, tomorrow, if I do something to tweak my back, I have the tools and skill set Dr. Tom taught me to correct it. I highly recommend Dr. Tom. He is incredibly smart and knowledgeable. He continually studies and learns in the best interests of his patients. With Dr. Tom’s guidance, combined with self discipline to follow through with the exercises, I believe any body can live life free from pain. Mischelle S.read more

As a Registered Nurse, health and wellness is something that I teach to all my patients. I also strive daily in my... personal life to practice what I preach. After nearly two years of suffering from decreased range of motion and debilitating pain in my shoulder, neck, and back, as the result of a sports-related injury, I was desperate for relief. I had endured three failed attempts of physical therapy over the last twenty-two months which only exacerbated these symptoms. With no end in sight, I had two MRIs, an EMG, and several X-rays. All negative. I had gone for acupuncture, acupressure, chiropractic, massage, and orthopedic appointments extensively in hopes that I would be pain-free, and, at some point, be able to resume an active lifestyle. However, this was not the case. I continued to suffer in pain and began to grow tired and hopeless. Willing to try anything, I sought out a dry needling practitioner. I was given Dr. Tom’s contact info by a referring therapist who explained that, due to the nature of my injury, I needed a practitioner with an advanced skill level. I contacted Dr. Tom to make an appointment. Following my first session, I was extremely pleased with the results. I experienced a significant decrease in pain, and in the mental anguish that stifled my hopes for recovery. I am thrilled to say that in just a short amount of time working with Dr. Tom I have made significant and steady gains. I continue to improve each session after nearly two years of absolute hell. I am feeling much better these days. I know that I will fully recover with Dr. Tom’s help and guidance. Dr. Tom is very different from the “run of the mill” physical therapist. He has provided me with care and treatment that is individualized, and patient focused. This type of care is precisely what most will need but will not find at a typical physical therapy rehabilitation clinic. I can only say that I wish I found him sooner. He is a highly skilled therapist; a great educator, and he has restored my faith that I can recover. He has undoubtedly motivated me to do so. As a healthcare professional, I highly recommend Dr. Tom. I will continue to work with him for all my physical therapy needs. Dr. Tom will work for you, keeping your health and wellness at the top of his agenda. He deserves to be recognized for all the great work that he does and for the healing services that he provides. FIVE STAR RATING! Sincerely, Danny V.read more

Dr. Tom rescued me from extreme pain re-emerging from a torn rotator cuff injury that was left untreated after the... original injury. He used dry needling to release the horrible spasm that kept me from sleeping at night. Within 24 hours from treatment, the pain subsided and I was on my way to healing, the right time, this time! Back to my old self strength and getting the most out of my active lifestyle! Thanks Dr. Tom!read more

I work in the food service industry and am on my feet for long hours. My back was not holding up with the abuse to my... feet. I met with Tom of My PT and he evaluated my feet, observed my gait and was able to fit orthotics for my shoes. Since then, I have less pain in my feet, legs and back and am able to stand on my feet for longer hours without being in pain at the end of the day. Thank you so much Tom for making it easier for me to work and enjoy what I do!!read more

Dr. Tom Naro is incredible. He goes above and beyond (far beyond) for his patients. Both myself and my chronically ill... partner have been his patients and have seen vast improvements in our lives in terms of range of motion, comfort, and knowledge of our different conditions as Tom not only treats but teaches you how to treat yourself in between sessions with different exercises and movements. I would recommend Dr. Tom before any other PT to anyone I know. If you think you might need PT, do yourself a favor and reach out to Dr Tom.read more

I have had constant, agonizing neck and back pain for well over a decade. After recent x-rays and diagnosis, I started... visiting Dr. Tom - and immediately noticed results. After roughly 6 sessions, my neck and back pain have been reduced to a very tolerable level, my range of motion has increased, and my ability to sleep has improved. Dr. Tom is friendly, professional, affordable, and delivers results. I highly recommend him to anyone who has chronic pain - you won't regret it!read more
