Gaylord Physical Therapy, Cheshire

This team had me back up and going quickly. I'm a highly active 37 year old and had bad knee injury playing lacrosse back in June. Having had the unfortunate pleasure of more than a few PT needs over the years, I can confidently say the standard of care upheld by this team far exceeds my previous experiences. They listened to my goals, and utilized a program which was more advanced than others I have experienced, incorporating evidence based practices and educating me on them along the way. Prior to surgery I was able to enjoy a high quality of life and get back to many of the things I enjoy...with some hard work. Now, I look forward to continuing to work with this team on the rehab. Scheduling was friendly, responsive, and the hours are great. If you want a team who will listen to you and treat your case with compassion and individualized attention this is your place.

Gaylord PT is an exceptional place. The advice, support and especially understanding of the staff is excellent. Eric Sokolowski is the best PT I have ever had. His ability to be encouraging, empathetic and firm is what I have been looking for. Eric not only communicates well, but he really listens and works to provide an individual training program specific to the patient. I have had trauma both personally and physically (back issue), and Eric has a keen sense of what I need to improve my health and athletic ability. I even rest with heat on my back in a meditation room. What a unique way to finish my workout! The staff aids are extremely friendly, and the front desk staff make me feel welcome upon entering the office. Eric has made me stronger, and I am grateful for the expertise he provides. I feel like a powerful Mom who got her strength back, because of my treatment with Eric and Gaylord!

My recent physical therapy at Gaylord Cheshire with Eric Sokolowski was by far one the most rewarding experiences I have had to date. Eric provided me with a personalized exercise program to enable me to carry out my daily activities with strength and ease. Prior to attending therapy, I was having chronic back, hip and foot pain. I had lost most of my strength and had trouble completing the simplest things and could not sit comfortably for long periods. With Eric’s help, I have the strength and confidence to accomplish so many things and lift an amount of weight I never thought possible. Gaylord PT Cheshire is not the run of the mill PT facility. They provide you with the tools necessary to live a normal life. I would highly recommend it. In addition, the staff is wonderful and accommodating! I look forward to my HEP to maintain my strength! Thanks Eric Sokolowski and everyone at Gaylord a Cheshire PT! Clara Koczi

February 1. 6:00 PM. I limp into Gaylord wearing a post-op boot after bunion surgery. My right big toe is stiff and inflexible. Walking is painful. Running impossible. I can’t drive. I can’t stand in the shower. Three months later, and two sessions per week with Kayla, I can do all of these things. (Running to a lesser degree, but I’m almost there.) Before surgery, I was a runner who notched twenty-five-plus miles a week. So knowing I would be sidelined for months depressed me. But after Kayla asked about my therapy goals—to run again, to drive again, to walk up stairs and to shower again—she assured me we would achieve them. This was our first session. Seventeen sessions later and her confidence never waned. Neither did my progress. A word on Kayla Trobec: She’s kind. She’s joyful. She’s knowledgeable. She’s excellent. I never asked, and maybe I didn’t need to, but physical therapy feels like her vocation. Witnessing her interactions with other clients, there’s love there. She cares. And for me, that’s as critical to strengthening a surgically repaired foot as any farmer’s carry. Thank you, Kayla and all of the Cheshire Gaylord team.

Gaylord Physical Therapy in Cheshire has truly been the most fantastic life-changing experience. Not only does the front desk welcome you warmly at every single visit, but they care about how you are doing and genuinely make sure you are doing the best you can. Phil has gone above and beyond to ensure my healing process stays on track and most importantly, as painless as possible. The level of professionalism and the wealth of knowledge the therapist and assistance have is far greater than I could have ever imagined. I am thankful for the team at Cheshire, and all they have done to assist with my recovery. I know I would not be where I am today without their guidance and careful guidance.

I have had such a great experience at Gaylord Physical Therapy in Cheshire. I am nine weeks post knee replacement surgery and have made great progress with Eric Sokolowski's wonderful help and guidance. He has listened to all of my concerns and always adjusts my workouts when necessary to either address pain I might have had or to help me push myself harder. I would highly recommend Gaylord Physical Therapy!

The Cheshire location is fantastic. After 2 ankle surgeries, and poor experiences at other PT places, Yarden is the best PT around! The assistants are also great. Everyone is kind and helpful. Yarden is always encouraging and supportive, and I have made more progress here than at any other PT place. I 100% would recommend Gaylord PT to anyone in need of post op rehab.

Went to Gaylord in Cheshire after my second neck surgery to reduce my neck pain and gain my movement back. The experience was amazing. Eric S was great to work with. The whole team really. In the end I was able to get back 90%+ of range of movement. More than even the doctors thought I’d get. Go there. You won’t be disappointed. Ask for Eric S.
