    I saw Dr. Bustamante at the Injury Preventer for my 2nd grade ankle sprain I got while playing soccer. He was compassionate, respectful and very knowledgeable and his background of also being a soccer player in the past made me feel more understood. There were times I would show up in a negative mood because of the injury, but Dr. Bustamante didn't judge me, but understood and still got me through the sessions. His 1 on 1 sessions were at times uncomfortable, but overall were necessary to me get back on the field. I recommend Dr. Bustamante a the Injury Preventer for any athletes that need PT, especially soccer players and runners.

    I was referred to the injury preventer by a friend that previously came here. I was dealing with constant back pain when doing any heavy lifting activities. I would use proper form and would stretch daily, but It didn't really make a difference so I decided to come here. Dr. Cosmo educated me on my problem and showed me the proper exercises and stretches to do. We had to strengthen my glutes and core and improve my ankle mobility. It was my first time having the dry needle treatment done and although it felt weird it helped with the tension/pain. I'm definitely going to be coming back for any other issues i experience and recommend these guys to anyone that needs physical therapy.

    You can't beat having 1 on 1 training that push you to become better for play or work.

    I saw Dr. Cosmo after I messed up my right shoulder and kept feeling tightness around my neck. Immediately after a few sessions I started to feel better. I got the dry needling treatment which I highly recommend. It felt a bit uncomfortable and I felt very sore the next day(which he said I would) but the day after I felt so much better. Working in EMS I needed to get better ASAP and Dr. Cosmo helped me with that.

    I got tennis elbow during my preseason and a friend recommended Dr. Cosmo. From the beginning I started to see a lot of improvement with my injury. He didn't just treat my injury but also educated me on it and taught me how to prevent future problems. Dr. Cosmo is very knowledgeable, skilled and passionate about what he does and he makes sure you leave his clinic stronger than before. I was able to start and finish my volleyball season with no problems after leaving his clinic. I highly recommend Dr. Cosmo for any injuries, especially sports injuries. I still go to him when I need a "tune up".

    Dr. Cosmo and Dr. Bustamante are both fine professionals in their field. They know what they are doing and will get you back on track. I was referred to them by a friend after an ankle injury and they were able to help me get back to doing my daily activities without any pain or discomfort. If you need PT definitely check them out!
