Bayside Physical Therapy

Peggy is simply amazing!! Not only is she a wonderful physical therapist but is just an all-round awesome person!! I broke my radial head joint in my elbow a few months back and had to get replacement surgery, and when I started with her I could hardly move my elbow. It was rough!! Peggy has been SO instrumental in my recovery and helped me get soo much more range of motion and frankly, my life back!! She is very encouraging and understanding too - whenever I felt discouraged she was right there with me to pep me up again!! This is very valuable because when you have the right mindset it definitely helps your own recovery. :) I highly recommend Peggy!!!!

I went to see Peggy for treatment of shoulder, hip & knee pain. I was very concerned as I was in a lot of pain and had never seen a physical therapist before. But Peggy is a great listener and I felt very comfortable with her right away. Her initial assessment was very thorough. Peggy saw my body as a whole rather than as an assemblage of individual parts, which guided the exercises she prescribed. The first exercises were gentle and as I got stronger, they gradiently increased in number and intensity. They were actually quite enjoyable, which was not something I was expecting! Peggy has been practicing for something like 35 years and she really is expert in helping people gain mobility and strength. I definitely recommend her!

My experience with physical therapist Peggy Kirk has been exceptional. Peggy's approach is professional and personal. She thoroughly evaluates the individual patient's needs and formulates a specific treatment plan to fit those needs, rather than rely on a textbook formulation. Her treatment is "hands-on" as she works with you throughout the entire time of your appointment. Her experience and expertise are evident as she applies her knowledge of anatomy and physiology to address your problem. Peggy's personality is engaging, empathic and encouraging. Her concern for the well-being of her patient and her dedication to achieve a positive result are clearly expressed and enhance the technical skills she employs in your treatment.

Peggy is simply amazing! I went other places first but always left in more pain than I went in with. Now I know not to expect instant results but there was no progress. I went to see Peggy. When asked to lay on the table it was almost impossible to get there. Peggy worked her magic and let me tell you when she asked me to get up I was skeptical at best but holy cow. Gettin up from that table on my own was an amazing feeling. I have done followups with Peggy and I’m proud to say I am fixed. Thank you Peggy for all you do.

Peggy Kirk has been treating our 85 year old mother for several months. She is highly proficient, professional and definitive in her treatments. Once in pain and getting weaker, our mother is showing marked improvement and no longer needs to see a spine pain management MD for treatments as her neck pain is gone. Our mother listens to Peggy, looks forward to her weekly physical therapy sessions, and truly feels so much better after each one. Peggy recommended we seek further medical attention based on my mother's condition early on and the MD's were pleased we did. Together the approach has been nothing short of miraculous. She is excellent with the elderly!

I had the pleasure of working with Peggy Kirk, an outstanding physical therapist at Bayside Urgent Care. After I received a total hip replacement as a result of a broken hip from a bicycle accident, Peggy assisted me in learning to walk again without pain and without limping. She guided me with the appropriate exercises and hands-on contact through that complicated process with patience, persistence and skill. She is a true professional and I highly recommend her.

My wife says : Peggy is a great physical therapist. She gave precise exercises and invaluable suggestions to improve habits contributing to pain. I am in less pain , feel stronger and posture is getting better too. I highly recommend her.

I had never been to a physical therapist before. I was having much trouble with my knee and could barely walk. Within a few sessions, Peggy got the mobility back into my knee and leg and I could walk without crutches or a cane. The therapy was gentle and fairly easy to do. I highly recommend her. I will go to her again when I need to. I am also recommending her to my husband for his back pain.
