Revitalized Performance

After years of trying different PTs, attempting PT on my own, going to massages and chiropractor visits, finding Revitalized Performance in Manchester, NH has been the only true solution to my constant, often debilitating neck/shoulder/back pain. I had struggled with shoulder issues for the last 15-20yrs, got surgery on one, and for the last 6 years battled nerve pain in my other shoulder, neck, arm that’s been getting progressively worse. I had accepted that it was just something I’d have to live with forever. When a coworker told me about Revitalized and the miracle they worked on him, I was convinced that this place’s treatment program was exactly what I needed. The only regret I have now is having waited so long to start, until I felt more comfortable financially. In hindsight, I could’ve saved a year of pain and suffering. Even though traditional health insurance is not used, RP shared some information on submitting these expenses for insurance reimbursement through your HSA. I’ve heard some people have had good luck with this, I will be giving it a try soon. Dr. Steven and the team have been the most valuable resource and mental support system through this process. Dr. Frankie performed my first evaluation appointment and I seamlessly continued the rest of my visits with Dr. Steve. I felt like they were both very in-tune and familiar with my pain symptoms immediately, knew where it was stemming from, and had a structured plan. Exactly like the plan had said, the pain slowly receded from my fingers, hand, arm, shoulder, back and neck slowly but surely, week by week. Now I can touch the back of my neck without shooting pain. There is no pain in my neck today after 2.5 months of treatments with Steven. I recently got over the hump, the worst of the pain. It had receded but had become very concentrated and severe around the base of my neck. Dr. Steve’s targeted massage around my neck and shoulder, along with using the silicone cups on my back every visit, have been exactly what I needed but could never find. It also helped having discussed with him how the pain would get worse before it got better. I felt more confident gently pushing through the exercises that the pain would soon subside. The exercises that Steve has slowly added to my routine have felt like the perfect combination at the right intervals, targeting all the right spots. Slight adjustments were made with him between appts as needed. The 1-hr long sessions 1-to-1 are extremely productive and undivided. Revitalized Performance has truly surpassed all of my expectations, and I would highly recommend to anyone living in pain who is looking for a way out!! This place is the BEST!!! Thank you, Dr. Steve!!

I can’t say enough good things about Revitalized Performance. After dislocating my shoulder multiple times over the last few years, I was looking for someone who could help me get back to feeling confident using it again. Dr. Steve has been outstanding every step of the way. He’s much more than a physical therapist. He’s a coach, a trainer, a motivator, and someone who genuinely cares about your progress. Every visit feels like he’s invested in helping you improve, not just getting you through another appointment. The entire office has a welcoming, family-like atmosphere. Everyone is friendly, encouraging, and genuinely happy to see you. It’s completely different from the typical physical therapy experience where you feel like just another patient. If you’re dealing with an injury or just want to move and feel better, I highly recommend Revitalized Performance. I’m grateful I found them, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr. Steve and the whole team to anyone in the Greater Manchester NH area.

Very professional,1:1 service. I have been suffering from right shoulder and neck stiffness due to some compressed vertebra in my upper back for many years. Prior to RP I had tried just about everything with limited to no success. Dry needling and the correct balance of flexibility and strengthening exercises appear to be helping with the lingering soreness in shoulder and neck. I sought out RP and ended up in Manchester after reading Robin Mckenzie's book. I was seeking someone certified in the McKenzie method of treatment. Compared to other PT clinics the experience is better due to the 1:1 time that is not shared with other patients. Past experiences have been a quick 1:1, then given some exercises to do while the therapist left to work with someone elese. Goals are as follows: working with my right arm - pain free, increased range of motion in neck. On both accounts my condition is much improved. The increased mobility has made it easier to drive and work around the house, travel on a plane, etc. Increased strength will give me confidence to continue working without getting hurt. Out-of-network PT is worth the cost.

I highly recommend Revitalized Performance in Manchester, NH! As a sufferer of chronic back and neck pain, becoming a patient at Revitalized Performance has been a transformative experience for me. I have been a patient for several months now; Dr. Stevie has so much clinical knowledge and experience, and working with her has been so helpful for me. I have had traditional physical therapy multiple times in the last decade, and always felt that there was something missing. Over the years I went to multiple physical therapists for issues with my neck, upper back, shoulders, lower back, sciatic nerve pain, and knees. The major difference for me at Revitalized Performance is that their approach to PT means I can work with Dr. Stevie to address all of these issues; for years I have suspected that muscular issues in one part of my body both exacerbate and are exacerbated by other areas and muscular imbalances. With traditional PT, it's basically impossible to address all of these issues in short, limited sessions. Being able to attend longer sessions less frequently has been so helpful for me, and I am actually seeing a huge improvement in my function and mobility, along with decreased pain and increased ability and stamina when I work out or do physical activity. I really appreciate that the longer sessions mean I get a well rounded session each time. The regimen of strength training and stretching, along with soft tissue massage and targeted dry needling, has worked wonderfully well to help me recover. At first, I was hesitant to reach out to Revitalized Performance, as I would not consider myself athletic. I just want to be in shape and workout with less pain, and be able to be moderately active. However, working with Dr. Stevie has been great; seeing how active she is compared to PTs I've worked with in the past is really inspiring! Having that example has helped motivate me a lot to stick to the exercise plans, because I know that strength training is the key to feeling better and reducing chronic pain. I was certainly on the fence at first about out-of-network PT, but with my insurance, I would be paying almost as much out of pocket at a traditional PT practice, with much less benefit. It's easy to submit to my insurance to count towards the deductible as well. Also, not working with insurance means we can avoid the dreaded extensive documentation that most insurance requires for PT, so more time for treatment! It has worked out wonderfully for me; I highly recommend to anyone for who it is feasible. Note: I included a picture of the entrance to the building with this review. It can be a bit tricky to find the first time, since it's a large building with multiple entrances and a huge parking lot. You want to go to the entrance labeled "One Sundial Avenue", and take the elevator or stairs to the third floor.

I began working with Dr. Stevie to complete rehab on my knee post surgery. I am now progressing beyond that to continue strengthening my body to return to my active lifestyle and career. Because Revitalized Performance does not work directly with insurance companies, you do not need a physician's referral to see a physical therapist. They do provide you with the paperwork for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. This model has allowed me to continue beyond what the insurance companies would consider "rehabbed". Dr. Stevie also figured out issues I have been having with vertigo are related to issues in my neck and the dry needling she has been doing along with exercises to strengthen and move my neck properly has started making a big difference for me in that area as well. The personalized recovery plan and goal setting has been a game changer for me over previous PT experiences. Each appointment is immediately followed by an email detailing your visit, any updates in your exercises along with videos to help guide you. I no longer have to rely solely on recalling everything shown and said during my appointment. This has helped me do my home exercising much more consistently. All the staff members are friendly, efficient and professional. It is a relaxing atmosphere as well. Located in Manchester, NH, it is easily accessible off of 293 and worth driving from just North of Concord. I am extremely happy with Revitalized Performance and grateful for not only the recovery from surgery but also improvement in my overall health.
