Bright Star Physical Therapy

Masha has been an incredible physical therapist for my son over the past four months. From the very beginning, she was warm, patient, and highly skilled, quickly establishing a strong bond with my son, which made each session enjoyable and productive. Her deep understanding of pediatric therapy was evident as she tailored each session to meet his specific needs, helping him make consistent progress. Masha’s approach is both compassionate and professional. She always took the time to explain the exercises to me, ensuring I felt confident in continuing the therapy at home. Her positivity and encouragement were key in motivating my son, and we could see significant improvements in his strength, coordination, and overall confidence. We are extremely grateful for Masha’s dedication and expertise. She made a challenging time easier for our family, and we couldn't have asked for a better therapist. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of pediatric physical therapy. We also want to extend our appreciation to Bright Star, the facility where Masha works. The staff at Bright Star are welcoming, the environment is clean and child-friendly, and the overall experience has been outstanding. We highly recommend Masha and Bright Star to any parent looking for top-notch pediatric physical therapy. Thank you, Masha, and thank you, Bright Star!

The most wonderful, caring and knowledgeable group I have ever worked with. I have been coming to see Dr. Masha Katz for over 5 years to deal with my scoliosis and she has absolutely saved my life. Posture and pain improved. I have also sent friends to Bright Star for a variety of other issues and they have been thrilled with the results.

I cannot praise Masha Katz enough for her exceptional care and expertise in treating my severe sciatic nerve pain. From the moment I stepped into her office, I felt confident that I was in good hands. Masha's knowledge, compassion, and experience were evident in every aspect of my treatment. Her approach was not only effective but also tailored to my specific needs, which made a significant difference in my recovery journey. After just a few sessions with Masha, I began to feel a remarkable improvement in my condition. I was thoroughly impressed by her professionalism and dedication to providing the best possible care. Masha took the time to thoroughly explain each step of the treatment process, ensuring that I felt comfortable and informed throughout. Thanks to Masha's expertise and guidance, I am now feeling much better and more capable of managing my sciatic nerve pain. I wholeheartedly recommend Masha Katz to anyone seeking relief from similar issues. If you're looking for a physical therapist who truly cares about your well-being, look no further than Masha Katz.

I got diagnosed with scoliosis as an adult, as well as just having a lot of muscle tension/tightness that would interfere with my day-to-day a lot. I started going to Bright Star around June and completed 10 sessions with Masha. The difference I feel in my muscles and overall back pain has decreased so much. I have much better mobility now. I was in so much pain that I would sometimes skip lifting weights or certain exercises when going to the gym because I didn't want to aggravate the pain or muscles. Masha has helped me tremendously with different Schroth exercises as well as different types of stretches to loosen up my muscles, back, and chest. After about 2.5 months of Schroth, I have fully returned back to the gym and I am doing pretty much every exercise I want! Additionally, the front desk staff are very accommodating (since they're so good at what they do they tend to get booked up quickly, so I'd recommend maybe booking 2-3 appointments at a time to be safe!) -- Thank you so much Dr. Masha and staff for everything!

I started in August 2023- Oct 2023 with a great therapist. Terapist will focus on my child 100% and my child improved. However I change my appointments to Friday and the therapist would take her child with her to the workplace . So insted of focusing on my child 100% she would be looking what her child would be doing. She would give my child 15min of PT and the other 15 min of me practicing exercise with my child. The 2 Friday's I had appointment her child was there in the workplace. That was my experience.

I have mostly great things to say about the staff here. Masha and Jules were experts and took good care of my daughter and knew what to tell us how to answer our questions. Unfortunately, many visits were wasted with Erica, who is very nice but doesn't seem to know what she is doing. My wife and I both felt we did better PT at home than she provided. Maybe she is better with grown kids and adults, so keep that in mind if you are taking your infant. I recommend this place but schedule a baby with Jules.

My son has been seeing both Masha and Dennis for Schroth PT for about 6 month. His strength, mobility and body awareness has increase tenfold. The exercises help with learning how to live with scoliosis. How to walk, sit, stand and exercise for optimum health has been a game changer. My hope is that through educating him in his body abilities we will decrease his need for invasive procedures in the future and the team at Bright Star are top notch.

I’m so impressed with the knowledge and care Marsha Kratz gave. My daughter was beginning to get a flat head due to mild tortacolis. Marsha not only walked me through the excersises, but educated me on what was going on and how to address it. A few days later, I was always seeing a huge differences in both her neck range and her head position at night. So thankful for her and Bright STAR Physical Therapy.
