“Mike DiStefano is wonderful - his practice offers services unlike any physical therapy or training facility I've ever encountered.  His evaluation process goes far beyond what standard health care providers offer, and his deep knowledge of the body and physiology allows him to uncover the source of the problem, not just treat the site of discomfort.  Mike has treated our whole family, from my daughter's ACL tear, my son's knee fracture, to my husband's M.S. related issues.  If you have pain or functional limitations, see Mike.  His skills surpass all others we've encountered in this field, and he is warm, friendly, and caring!”

“My personal appreciation for Mike as a person/athletic trainer is very strong as he was there for my daughter from day one of her ACL injury/surgery.  He developed a post rehabilitation workout program and personally worked with her one on one to achieve her goals of getting back to her activities and being better and stronger. Mike’s personality and attitude towards his clients is very caring and professional.  He takes great pride in the fine tune details of the way a person moves and truly enjoys working with people and watching them achieve their goals.”

“We met Mike 8 weeks after my daughter's ACL surgery.  Long story short she was struggling with physical therapy with one issue after another and making little to no progress.  She was even walking with a significant limp.  Mike was the only one to finally address her limp and spent the majority of the first appointment just working on her walking.  By the end of that appointment her limp was hardly noticeable!  Within a few weeks we discontinued PT and just trained with Mike.  Others told my daughter that returning to play 8 months after surgery was not a realistic goal due to all the obstacles she had to endure. For a 13 year old this was crushing news and made the recovery almost unbearable.  Fortunately Mike was amazing! Not only did he work on strengthening her “surgically repaired leg” he also did the same for the other leg while also working on core, upper body strength and learning how to absorb the pressure of landing and cutting.  I was especially grateful that he explained everything along the way. He took the time to set realistic goals, explain certain pains and what they meant. In one month her strength went from 37% to 96% compared to her “good” leg!! He took her from not being able to walk well to full return to sports in the 5 months we worked with him. We are both eternally grateful for Mike.  If not working with him, my daughter realistically would not have returned to sports as quickly, safely, and successfully as she did. Mike gave my daughter a reason to push and work hard and never let the bumps in the road distract her.  Our only way to repay him for such excellent quality care is to tell others our story and send others to Mike for treatment and training. Thank God we met Mike!  What a blessing he has been!”

“My 14 year old daughter is a highly competitive alpine ski racer who tore her ACL and meniscus while racing.  Following surgery and an initial round of physical therapy, she began working with Mike at her surgeon’s recommendation.  Mike immediately assessed her situation and plotted a plan to return her to her sport –a sport which is especially demanding on knees.  She worked with him regularly for six months, during which time Mike methodically increased her level of exertion, while always exercising caution not to push harder than appropriate.  During this period, Mike regularly tested her strength and flexibility to objectively quantify her progress.  Eventually, she entered a return to play protocol, which ultimately led to her successful return to training and competition.  She continues to work with Mike to maintain strength and confidence in her knee.  Mike’s personal interest and obvious care for my daughter made me feel confident that she was in the right hands and would be able to return to the high level of performance she was at pre-injury.  Her on-snow comfort and confidence has increased each week of the season, and without Mike’s efforts and personal care, she would not be back to where she is.”
