“Physical therapy sessions with Tova are nothing short of a religious experience. An avid exerciser in my late 40s (with a pre-existing lower back issue) I often need tweaks and adjustments to maintain my busy lifestyle. After seeking PT from several group firms, I decided to try someone in solo private practice. The first difference a patient will notice is that each therapy session with Tova is completely customized and individualized—not cookie cutter like what is typically experienced from group PT firms. Sessions are not about the patient doing repetitious exercises with light touches from the therapist. Her method is very hands-on, meaning she is manipulating and massaging and adjusting your muscles and body parts throughout your session. What I found most interesting is that Tova identified adjacent problem areas I didn’t know were connected to the originating problem and treated them to help resolve the original pain point. Her technique is unique, and ultimately life changing, there’s no other way to describe it.”
“Tova is unique. She is the only professional who has treated my back, arm and hip pain by connecting the issue to its source in my body creating long term solutions. I had been to another physical therapist, two chiropractors and 2 massage therapists who focused on the painful area, but not what generated the problem. Tova works with the whole body. She is professional, friendly, her office space is quiet and artistically decorated. I enjoy going to see her. ”
“Tova Ovadia is my special gift from above. She saved me from despair. I am a polio survivor and several years ago I was suddenly overcome with extreme limb fatigue. This wasn’t supposed to happen, and I didn’t know what to do or who could help me. I was terrified that my hard-fought physical independence would be taken from me and then - almost serendipitously - I met Tova. She understood the vulnerability of my condition and how to nuance manual therapy with her magical hands. Equally as important, she spoke with optimism and encouragement which I needed as much as physical therapy. A rare combination of physical therapist extraordinaire and wise psychologist, Tova is indeed a master healer and a forever gift.”
“Words can’t even begin to express how talented emphatic and caring a clinician Dr. Tova Ovadia is. I’ve been to many physical therapists over the years, but none have had the diagnostic ability, knowledge as well as the understanding and treatment skills until I was lucky enough to find Tova.
She truly goes above and beyond and her talent is beyond amazing. I have healed from everything that I came in for and even my fitness routine has excelled because of Tova’s treatments. My neck pain is gone as is my shoulder and back pain! I can walk straight again, and she was the one who helped heal my injuries by understanding the biomechanics of an injury, where it comes from and how the pain can radiate to different parts of the body. My child also had frequent tendinitis and Tova knew it came from her hip being turned out. Until we met her, my daughter was treated for her foot. Several treatments of the hips and the foot tendinitis was gone. My child now a teen and still continues to go to Dr Tova periodically to be in tiptop shape for her fabulous sports routine. If you have any injury, I suggest you run don’t walk to see Dr Tova! She literally saved my life and those of many people I know who have seen her. You walk into her office injured and you walk out improved and healed week by week!”
“I Love going to Tova for treatments every once in a while. Between my sports injuries and long hours on the computer I need it. She realigns my spine and reviews my sports activities and always have good suggestions for me. Tova is the world’s best physical therapist! In a few months I am going to college, and I hope the exercises and posture tips she gave me will help until I come home.”
“I first consulted Tova Ovadia over 20 years ago, sent to her by my internist when persistent back pain was making my Life miserable. I was at the stage of seriously considering spinal surgery. A few sessions with Tova and it became clear that there was hope for relief without such a drastic remedy. The combination of therapeutic work with her and following through with exercises she gave me, and some lifestyle changes, and I was free of pain for the first time in years.
I have continued as a patient periodically since then, and continuously in my ‘70’s, and am certain I remain mobile thanks to Tova. I recommend her without reservation.”
