Testimonials
Due to a pedestrian accident in 1990 I have worked with numerous physical therapy clinics and Pyramid Physical Therapy and Pilates is the best! Their attention to detail in making sure we are targeting the correct muscle is impressive! I have many body areas needing therapy and Pyramid is working with me to address all of them, my past therapist would only focus on one area which led me to become weary and overwhelmed. Working on the reformers and with the Pyramid therapist has helped me regain my quality of life!
I’ve been visiting Pyramid Plaza for a few months now and it’s been fantastic. The therapists are great. Every time I go, Fiorella and Cindy (the therapists) make me feel totally comfortable. I, like many people, was nervous about going to physical therapy, but as soon as I got there I knew I was in great hands. The visits are challenging, but extremely effective. My hip has seen solid and steady improvement since I started going. Seriously, I can’t recommend Pyramid Plaza enough. It’s been awesome.
I have attended physical therapy for back and shoulder problems since 2014. Presently, I am attending therapy for shoulder surgery some months ago. My experience at Pyramid Plaza with Dr. Mendez has been great! She is a wonderful, caring, and knowledgable physical therapist. She takes her time in explaining the rehab process during therapy and answers all my questions. She makes it easier for me to see the progress I am making in therapy. Also, Lynn was very helpful, informative, and assisted me with my paperwork. I’m fortunate to receive therapy in a relaxing atmosphere at Pyramid Plaza. Thank you to everyone.
