How long does it take to recover from shoulder pain?

Recovery time depends on the severity and type of shoulder injury. Many athletes see significant improvements within 4-8 weeks with our Performance Rehab approach. During your free phone consultation, we'll discuss realistic timelines based on your specific condition and goals.

What makes ProMotion Physical Therapy different from traditional PT?

Traditional healthcare often involves lackluster communication and generic programs. At ProMotion, you get personalized rehab and training plans, 24/7 access to support, and a collaborative approach that treats you as an athlete. We identify the root cause and get you back to pushing your limits.

Can physical therapy help me avoid shoulder surgery?

In many cases, yes. Our Performance Rehab approach addresses the root cause of shoulder pain by correcting movement dysfunction and building resilience. Many athletes avoid surgery altogether through our comprehensive treatment.

"I had a great, professional experience with Marc in recovering from a shoulder injury. It was complicated by a history of a pinched nerve in the area and sports injuries over the years. He's personable, knowledgeable, supportive, and creative. He focuses on patient sport and injury history, movement patterns, mobility, pain relief, and strength. Marc identifies strength, posture, and mobility imbalances as well and makes creative use of therapy, exercises, and technology. I'm in a much better place now moving forward with my PWLifting and fitness pursuits."

"I had a number of problems I was dealing with when I first started working with Marc: a chronic hamstring issue that caused unrelenting sciatic pain, low back pain that would wipe me out for days at a time, and a painful hip that had gotten so bad I couldn't go for walks anymore. Marc's approach addressed multiple issues at once and helped me slowly but surely build up my strength. Eventually my sciatic pain that had been present for years was completely resolved. He helped me navigate the orthopedic world to eventually choose to have a total hip replacement at age 52, and he helped me strengthen my body in ways that supported rapid recovery post-surgery."

Julianne Kaphar

"I highly recommend Marc as well as Mike. I am working with both of them and get such individualized treatment for my various issues. Every appointment is customized to my needs and they can pivot depending on whether I need therapeutic attention versus pure strengthening. I would never go back to traditional PT or to a personal trainer who is not a therapist. Marc's knowledge is by far superior to anything I have event experienced."

"Marc Feda is an outstanding physical therapist. I was referred to him by some athletes I trusted after a bad experience with a previous PT at a big corporation. That previous therapist didn't listen to me and had me do something that worsened the problem. Marc has a deep, sophisticated understanding of physiology and the nature of injury and healing; he uses multiple modalities effectively, and he is particularly expert at integrating therapy and strength training. Finally, he is responsive to questions and concerns throughout the week, well beyond the hour of your appointment."

Do I need a referral to see a physical therapist in Connecticut?

No, Connecticut is a direct access state, which means you can see a physical therapist without a referral from a doctor. If you're in pain, that means you don't have to wait weeks to get on the path to relief. At ProMotion, we prioritize getting you in quickly so you can start feeling better as soon as possible.

What should I expect on my first Performance Rehab appointment?

At ProMotion, we prioritize patient communication and individualized care. Above all else, expect to be listened to, validated, and leave with a better understanding of your knee pain. We'll discuss a strategy for how we can help you and how you can empower yourself to achieve your goals. Every person, condition, and interaction is unique, and our process caters to your needs rather than having a "cookbook" or standardized approach to your care.

What is Performance Rehabilitation?

Performance Rehabilitation is an emerging approach that blends holistic methods including manual therapy and the latest technology rooted in science-based principles that aid in optimizing and accelerating the body's natural healing and recovery processes. Our highly skilled Performance Rehab Specialists leverage these techniques and combine them with the most up-to-date research as they design a dynamic treatment plan that continuously adapts to your progress and performance goals. We're licensed Physical Therapists—we just approach the field very differently.

Is Performance Rehab covered by my insurance?

Yes! Unlike traditional Physical Therapy providers, Performance Rehabilitation can be submitted through your insurance provider under your out-of-network benefits. This simply means that we do not have a contracted rate with your insurance company for Physical Therapy services, but they will apply any amount you spend toward your plan. While we understand that this may create an extra step for those trying to recoup money for physical therapy, this approach allows us to maximize patient care and spend entire sessions with you in a true one-on-one format without being limited by traditional insurance barriers. The majority of our clients receive reimbursements from their insurance providers.

How long will it take to fix my knee pain?

Every person and condition is unique. Some clients experience significant improvement within a few sessions, while others benefit from a more progressive approach over several weeks. During your first appointment, we'll give you a realistic timeline based on your specific situation and goals. Our focus is on getting you better as efficiently as possible—and giving you the tools to stay better long-term.
