We highly recommend Massimo as a physical therapist. He has been providing physical therapy for my husband who suffered a severe hemorrhagic stroke four months ago. Massimo is professional, prompt, knowledgeable, patient, and kind. He approaches each session with an overall plan, but can quickly adjust to what my husband needs for the day, based on how tired or energetic he is. My husband looks forward to Massimo's sessions because they always give him a fully body workout. Massimo's knowledge of the stroke recovery process has also been invaluable to us and has helped us to be patient with the process. My husband has had several physical therapists during his recovery, and Massimo is by far his favorite.

I am just starting to recover from four plus months of essentially being bed ridden due to a cancer related hip injury. Finally had surgery and with so much atrophy and pain I had no clue how I could even do PT in my shape let alone get out of bed. Massimo knew exactly what to do and put me on the right path. The amount of knowledge he has, especially for a unique case like mine was beyond impressive. You cannot go wrong by choosing him as your physical therapist. I highly recommend him, 10 out of 10.

Wanted to give our highest praises and appreciation for Massimo Bellisario, PT, my dad’s personal private Physical Therapist from the bottom of our hearts. We were referred to Mass almost blindly by a remote source and thought would give him a try as my dad’s private Physical Therapist after my dad’s stroke left him paralyzed almost entirely on his left side. From the beginning, Mass has been an utmost professional and did a thorough evaluation of my dad’s condition before starting any sessions working with my dad and gave us specific directions and expectations as to how and where we will be heading toward, in optimal conditions, with my dad’s rehabilitation. His evaluation was to the point and realistic without giving false hope nor bringing our expectations of recovery down. Since starting PT with Mass, my dad has had at least 5 additional hospitalizations and during these up and down times, he has been very supportive and everytime, after each hospitalization has diligently re-evaluated my dad’s condition and resumed my dad’s PT at exactly the point he is capable of starting at and continuing on the improvement made from before and taking into account what had been lost after each set back and going from there. At this point, from the initial almost utter paralysis of his left side, he is now able to walk with a walker with Mass by his side although his left upper arm and hand are still not very functional, we credit his work with Mass for bringing him to his current mobile condition. We remain optimistic with our continuing work with Mass that my dad will continue to improve and we are grateful to Mass for all his work with my dad. We highly recommend Massimo Bellisario to anyone seeking a good physical therapist. Thank you, Mass for your care of my dad!

I’m incredibly grateful for Massimo and the exceptional work he does. I’ve struggled with lower back problems for years, especially after having kids. Since I started working with him over six months ago, my back pain has improved significantly. And I’ve learned the proper techniques for exercises and movements to prevent flare-ups in my lower back.

As an added bonus, I’ve never looked or felt as fit and strong as I do now! I truly appreciate Massimo’s hard work, personalized approach, flexibility with scheduling, and, most of all, the incredible results that I can both feel and see. Highly recommended!

Massimo is a gem. When I developed knee pain with running, I was reluctant to start physical therapy because in the past it has meant lots of tedious, repetitive exercises with minimal long-term effect. But that was before working with Massimo. He pinpointed my deficits and addressed them with challenging, novel exercises unlike any PT I have received before and which left me feeling after every session like I had completed a great workout. His form corrections have helped me get much more benefit from strengthening exercises and improved my functional movement, too. If you want a physical therapist who will kick your butt like a personal trainer or a personal trainer who understands movement/physiology like a physical therapist...you have found one. Rehabilitating an injury is slow and full of discouraging moments, so it makes a huge difference to get help from someone who keeps you active, engaged, on track, and challenged while you heal.

Massimo is the very BEST!!! He is amazingly skilled as well as professional, genuine and enjoyable to talk to. I came to him with a really complex chronic condition that involves my thoracic spine and ribs. I have been to other physical therapists with little result. Massimo really listened to me and can think out of the box! Every time I went in he would come up with even more creative exercises and mix it up to target the area, and he is also skilled at tissue manipulation! I have had significant improvement and even look forward to doing my PT exercises each day- I have new hope for the first time. It’s a great loss that he is leaving my insurance network. You are very lucky and in the very best of hands if you find yourself in need of physical therapy and get to work with Massimo. if I could give more stars I could!

I had walked into the clinic with my back bent and being unable to walk straight, also having severe leg pain all due to sciatica with radiculopathy. Then I met Massimo who is very welcoming and knowledgeable about my injury. Massimo helped me with my therapy and set goals as he reviewed my case in a professional, empathic and respectful manner, while letting me know how we would diligently work towards achieving the set goals over time till I attain a full recovery.

Every session was filled with enthusiasm towards getting me to normalcy as soon as possible, he had a listening ear to every detail of my complain and progress. He was committed to getting me back to running and playing soccer, and here we are a few weeks later am ready to get back to doing the things I love. I do highly recommend Massimo if your looking for a DPT.

I have seen Massimo for my frozen shoulder in the past 4 months. He is very knowledgeable and patient. He planned out my exercises for my shoulder, and always made adjustment according to my progress. The stretches he made to relieve my tight shoulder is always spot on. Under his care, my shoulder has improved a lot, and even my doctor is surprised by the progress that I made within a short period of time. Without a doubt I would highly recommend him as a physical therapist.

Massimo is simply a pro. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable about human physiology…always focusing each session on what needs the most attention at the time…but also very well prepared. Just as important, he is compassionate, a good listener and communicator, and creative in designing exercises that best suit my individual goal of getting back to skiing after a knee replacement. I’d give him 6 stars if I could! Without reservation, highly recommended.

I've been working with Massimo for 7mo after tearing my ACL. Through pre and post op, he has been extremely helpful in pushing my recovery forward. In some aspects I feel stronger and more capable than I was pre-injury. He clearly explains the "why" behind each activity, gives pointers on what muscle activations I should feel, and shares data with me on my progress. He spends the time each week to build my program, which means that no two sessions are ever the same - I feel this is a critical factor in keeping me motivated to continue treatment. I have struggled to regain quad muscle post op and he always has another exercise in his back pocket to try to activate the correct muscles. It's a testament to how much he is always researching, staying current, and challenging his patients to recover in a complete way.

Massimo is without a doubt an amazing physical therapist. My husband was a patient of his and highly recommended that I see him after I broke my ankle and foot. Massimo helped with my frozen shoulder too. He is not only extraordinarily knowledgeable and skilled but also very personable and encouraging. I am extremely grateful for how much he’s helped me with the recovery of my ankle, foot, and shoulder. I wholeheartedly give Massimo my strongest recommendation.

Massimo is the best physical therapist I have worked with. He has helped me significantly reduced my lower back pain and improved my mobility. What differentiates Massimo from other physical therapists is that he spends a lot of time learning about your problems. He listens, he experiments, he adjusts. The stretching/exercise plans he crafts work well, sometimes so well it surprises me. It is easy to see that how his up-front efforts pay off. He also clearly articulates his diagnosis and therapy approach. I feel I understand why I do the stretches/exercises I do for PT. This helps me stay motivated to follow his programs at home and makes me feel better about my ability to help myself once my time with Massimo is up. If you need PT, you will make excellent progress with Massimo. I highly recommend him.

As someone who has seen many physical therapists, I can attest that Massimo is by far the best physical therapist I've had. When I started seeing him for low back pain from a disc reherniation, he focused on actively helping me recover through functional exercises to help me get back to weightlifting/exercising in ways I enjoyed, rather than recommending passive activities/massages. He is kind, patient, smart, and genuinely cares about his clients. Further, when I started suffering from shin splints, he identified the root of the issue and created a tailored treatment plan focused on improving my stability/strength to get me back to the activities I wanted to do. He answers questions with thought and care, and has helped me succeed far better than past recovery attempts. If you're looking for a physical therapist, I couldn't recommend Massimo more!

I was diagnosed with a disk hernia and suffered from terrible lower back pain. After being referred to physical therapy, I started treatment with Massimo. After only a few sessions I started noticing huge improvements. Now that I have been working with Massimo for several months, my pain is mostly gone and I am almost back at my 100%! Massimo is very kind, and always excited to see my improvement. He is very knowledgeable and prepares well thought exercises for me. It has been a pleasure to have Massimo as my physical therapist and I am so grateful for all the effort he has put into my recovery. I highly recommend him!

I’ve seen Massimo for 7 months now for a total knee replacement. I went to him before the replacement to get stronger and have been with him for 6 months after the replacement. I believe your PT is equally as important as your surgeon in helping rehabilitated after a major surgery like this. Massimo is an excellent PT. He’s compassionate and gentle which is needed for all the manipulation that has to be done to a new knee. He’s very knowledgeable about the latest information in physical therapy and cares about keeping current. He understood the specifics about my surgery and what was needed to recover and he measured my progress so I could see I was getting stronger. This helped me keep going knowing I was improving. He understood my goals and what I wanted to do and helped me get back to that ability. He truly cared about my progress. He pushed me to tackle harder exercises but was always understanding if I needed to back off. I honestly don’t think you can find a better PT than Massimo and I’ve already recommended him to another friend who’s about to have a knee replacement. I never would have stuck with PT for as long as I did if it weren’t for Massimo.

Massimo is the best physical therapist I have ever had. I am a student athlete who has had a few minor injuries throughout my career, seeing different physical therapists here and there. When I tore my ACL my senior year of high school, my surgeon sent my family and I a list of sports rehabilitation centers in my area. I can not express how lucky I was to have gotten to work with Massimo. Tearing my ACL was one of the hardest things I have ever gone through and Massimo was there with me every step of the way. During the first two moths of rehab, when I couldn't even lift my leg off the table, Massimo reassured me, encouraged me and applied different techniques and strategies to my rehab help me past the barrier. Though my physical therapy journey started off slow, Massimo worked hard to help me get where I wanted to be before I left for college, regardless of the initial road blocks. I am now playing field hockey in college, something that I thought would be impossible after my injury. Massimo is not afraid to try new things which is something that benefited me heavily in my recovery. When certain "typical" ACL exercises weren't working for me, or became too painful, Massimo would spend extra time searching for new exercises, or modifying old ones to accommodate my comfort while still helping me progress. Not only is Massimo an incredible physical therapist, he is also a great person. I came into physical therapy feeling hopeless, and thought I would never be able to move my body the same way again, let alone play my sport again. Massimo's positive, kind spirit helped me through the worst days and he made physical therapy something I looked forward to instead of feared. When I left for college a few weeks ago, I felt both mentally and physically stronger than I did before I started physical therapy, something I never would have imagined, all thanks to him. I am forever grateful for my experience working with Massimo, and even miss physical therapy now that it's over. He is the best!
