The PT Zone: Sports Physical Therapy and Wellness 136 Canal Street, Salem, MA 01970

"My daughter is a competitive gymnast. Five years ago she had surgery on her elbow and we saw Shira for her physical therapy. She was awesome, knowledgeable about athletes and knew what needed to be done to get my daughter back in the gym and competing. More recently, my daughter experienced a significant ankle sprain during a gymnastics practice and needed physical therapy. I immediately searched the web for Shira and found she had her own practice, The PT Zone. I immediately called to make an appointment and Shira was able to get her in within the week. My daughter has been in PT for a couple of months now. Shira and her team give each client significant individual attention, not like those giant PT offices, that feel like a drive through. They also provide alternative techniques like massage and acupuncture needles. I feel that my daughter is getting top quality care and her mobility is increasing with each visit. If you need PT for any injury, I highly recommend the PT Zone."

"Shira is great! Intuitive, proactive and results oriented. My hip pain cleared up after a few visits which was amazing. I'll visit again soon for a separate issue and look forward to her guidance on healing it along."

"This is my first time at PT and was honestly a little nervous about it. Kaitlin immediately made me feel comfortable and at ease with her friendly and playful personality and demeanor. PT has helped me more than I thought it could. After a few sessions I’m now able to lift overhead again and the pain in my shoulder is so much better. Kaitlin works with my schedule and is flexible and accommodating. She always checks in with me and asks how I’m feeling, won’t push me past my pain threshold and makes sure I’m keeping up with my homework. I feel confident being back at the gym now and that’s thanks to Kaitlin. I would highly recommend her and the PT Zone!"

"The PT Zone team is incredible. I was a physical therapy skeptic, after having only one previous experience years ago. Shira and her team have completely turned that around for me. They are thoughtful in their approach, and help you understand the science behind what you are feeling. The facility is always clean, and the team is consistently on-time. I have realized significant improvement in my lower back pain in just a few sessions, and look forward to continuing to work with the team to further reduce my pain!"

"I have visited many PT offices over the years and this is the only one I went back to for repeated visits. Shira was amazing. She did many different exercises and used many different techniques to work through my injury. She explained what she was doing and why and how it was supposed to benefit my injury. Every visit was so worthwhile. In addition to her proficiency as a physical therapist, she runs a great business - the facility was bright and clean and spacious. Arranging appointments was easy, plus I appreciated the app she provided so I could remember how to do each exercise, and record my reps. I highly recommend PT Zone and Shira, in particular"
