I honestly don’t even know where to start because I’m so grateful I found Motion Sports Center.
For almost three years, I’ve struggled with a lot of knots and pain in my neck, shoulders, and upper back. I spend many many hours on the computer studying and the problem gradually became worse. Eventually, I got so used to having those knots that I thought it was just something I had to live with.
I tried everything I could find online (YouTube stretches, exercises, massages, hot water, and other things that were supposed to help) Some of them would make me feel better temporarily, but nothing actually solved the problem
But about 6 months ago, things became much worse. I started experiencing what felt like electric shocks traveling from my neck into my arms, along with numbness in my fingers and shoulders. I also couldn’t turn my head all the way to the right or left. It was frustrating and honestly scary.
Then I found Motion Sports Center.
From the very beginning, they took the time to listen to me, explain what was actually happening, and help me understand that the knots were not necessarily the root of the problem, they were a consequence of it. That completely changed the way I looked at my situation. Instead of just treating the symptoms and giving me temporary relief, they focused on addressing the underlying cause.
I want to mention Dr. Erick Matuszewski, who has an incredible amount of knowledge and really knows what he is doing. He took the time to explain everything to me in a way that I could understand, answered my questions, and made me feel confident that I was finally addressing the right problem.
I’ve been going there for almost a month now, following the exercises they gave me and working on strengthening the muscles that needed it. And the difference has been incredible.
NOW SINCE LAST WEEK I HAVEN’T EXPERIENCED THE ELECTRIC SHOCKS OR NUMBNESS that had been bothering me for months. The knots are still there, but they are already getting smaller and I have much more mobility in my neck, and overall I feel so much better.
I know I still have work to do, but for the first time in a long time, I feel like I’m actually moving in the right direction.
I’m extremely grateful to everyone at Motion Sports Center, from the front desk staff to Dr. Erick Matuszewski, for their patience, knowledge, and for taking my problem seriously. They didn’t just make me feel better for a few hours. they helped me understand what was causing the problem and gave me the tools to work on it.
IF YOU ARE DEALING WITH CHRONIC KNOTS, muscle tension, limited mobility, or similar problems I genuinely encourage you to get evaluated here instead of spending years and money only trying to reduce the symptoms with massages or temporary treatments sometimes you have to treat the cause, not just the effect.
Thank you, Motion Sports Center
Hi everyone, very happy to say that I am getting great physical therapy treatment at Motion Therapy by Zvi Gutman. Zvi is exceptionally kind, extra helpful, and very encouraging, and not once looks at his watch to wrap up the session. The staff at the Woodmere location especially Althia at front desk is so accommodating with appointments and greets me with a kind hello when I walk in. The young lady Kelly who helps with all the soothing wraps is also very pleasant and helpful. I can truly say I am having my best physical therapy experience at this Motion Therapy location in Woodmere.
