The Edge Physcial Therapy

I recently moved to the Burlington area from Virginia and I consider myself fortunate to have found a very good physical therapist in Ben Corcoran at the Edge Physical Therapy. I have been receiving PT since August 2023 due to hip revision surgery that was preceded by three hip dislocations following the first revision surgery. I have had several physical therapists work on me during this period but Ben has been the one who has been able to get me on a program that is successfully facilitating building back my muscles and relieve the pain I have been living with since the first revision over a year ago.

I scheduled an appointment with a nutritionist and confirmed my appointment the day before. However, when I went there for my appointment, nobody showed up because my nutritionist was told that I left a voice message several days ago to cancel my appointment, which I never did. One of the front desk ladies at this therapy said that she received a voice message asking to cancel this appointment without leaving their name. If an unknown caller asks you to do something, before you actually do it, aren't you supposed to ask for their name?! I'm really appalled by such irresponsibility.

Last year at this time I had been walking many miles. I ended up with Runner's knee. I put it off for quite a bit. I finally made it to Evergreen Sports medicine and a referral was made to The Edge Sports and Fitness. I met with Alex, a young-looking fit man. I respected his work as he approached me by always making sure I was okay with his touch. I can tell he had done this a time or two being very respectful. I had been in quite a bit of pain and continued to work with my pain, knowing this was not helping. Alex went over a few exercises that would work and some that caused pain. Alex made sure we stayed away from exercises that caused pain. I liked his approach and liked that he was able to send me emails showing me what I needed to do at home. I found it all helpful. Separate from the exercise, Alex gave me good advice. It lit like a light bulb one of the things Alex said to me. This having to do with an exaggerated step as I walked. This allowed me to bend my knee while walking. After a while, I don't think anyone noticed what I was doing. In conjunction with the exercises and the steps, I was finally able to take steps without dragging my left leg to get around. I really like the work Alex provided and his advice based on his experience. Thank you and good job. Today was the first day I walked without my brace.

I went to see Alex with problems with stiffness and general flexibility issues with my back. He gave me effective exercises and explained what they would do and how to approach them. He listened and tailored the exercises precisely to my needs. He was consistently professional and knowledgeable. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Because of two different surgeries, I required physical therapy. I selected The Edge in So. Burlington because of convenience, I surely made a great choice. I worked with Alex who was extremely knowledgeable about my condition, he was encouraging and helped me immensely. As I face another surgery, I wouldn’t consider looking anywhere else for such professional care and I go into this next operation knowing I will recover with the help from The Edge,I can’t miss!

I have been so impressed with the treatment I have received at the edge physical therapy. You won’t find a group of more skilled and professional therapist in all of Chittenden county. They have helped me through running injuries and post surgical rehabilitation. They have the most up-to-date equipment and skills to help get you back to full functionality. I have been so impressed and trust them so completely that I do not hesitate to refer others to them as well.

I have worked with Ben and Alex for various injuries and they are both extremely knowledgeable, friendly and professional. Ben has helped with a meniscus injury from several years ago and showed be exercises to be done at The EDGE weight room on site. Alex did a dry needle technique that did wonders for my neck and shoulders. The support staff are super friendly and whole experience is always great!

I came here for a few weeks while I was visiting Vermont (where I am originally from). I was (still am in fact) recovering from hip surgery (arthroscopy) back in June and this was the second place I tried while visiting. Alex was my PT and I had a great experience. He was very knowledgable, hands-on, and precise with all of this advice. I truly felt like I was in the hands of a young expert. The balance of exercices, movement, range of motion help, and diagnosis was perfect for me. I would really recommend Alex and the Edge to others.
