Michelle Powers

Tom, Michelle and Chris

“As a past collegiate athlete, I’ve spent a lot of time in different PT clinics. When I hurt my back, Health Check was recommended to me by a doctor in which I hold in high regard. I am so glad I followed through on that recommendation because they not only fixed my issue, they helped me understand why other areas of my body were feeling impacted. I recall coming in one day and mentioning to Tom my stomach felt like it had just been punched, hard. He poked around and explained that it was because I was holding my breath while doing tasks that bothered my back. He released my diaphragm and I was instantly better. That is one of many examples of how Tom and Chris are different- they want you to understand how the body works and how slight changes we may make (consciously or unconsciously) to cope with the pain can effect other areas of your body. I had made slight adjustments to the way I was walking to cope with pain, which probably started in college. They quickly reprogrammed my muscle memory, along with some other bad habits I picked up. Frequently they will even get out the spine skeleton and show you exactly what is causing your discomfort. I had the pleasure of working with both Tom and Chris, as well as their wonderful staff, who will also push you while paying close attention to how you are doing your exercises and surely pick up on any discomfort you are feeling. Cat at the front desk will always go out of her way for the patients as well. I can’t say enough positive things about this practice. If you are looking for a place that cares about YOU and getting the life you want back, I highly recommend Health Check.”

Chris, Vince and Siena

“In September I broke my wrist which required a plate and screws. I found Health Check online and could not be happier with my results. Chris and Siena helped get my strength and wrist movement back to normal. Chris did a great job working my soft tissue and getting my wrist to function normal again. Siena kept me accountable and did not let me cheat on exercises, I thank them both very much for their time and knowledge.”

Jill Robinson

Chris, Jill and Tom

“I came here in mid-October after being in a car accident. My neck and low back were in so much pain. I came in being barely able to turn my neck and could barely bend over. Through my months of working with Tom and the rest of his wonderful team I feel like I have my life back. I can once again take long walks with my husband and dogs. I can also work out at the gym without pain. Thanks for giving me my life back. I will be forever grateful.”

Nate Gillem

Chris and Nate

“The team at Health Check is second to none!! Every visit Chris went above and beyond with time passion and care to get me back to where I needed to be. The staff was accommodating and flexible to all my needs. I cannot thank them enough!! Thanks.”

Jan Herd

“I came to Health Check because my knee was hurting so much that I found walking and pursuing my normal activities difficult. I’m also an avid gardener and wanted to make sure I could pursue my active lifestyle in the Spring. Chris helped me tremendously as did the rest of the staff – everyone was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I appreciated the explanations behind the exercises as well.”

Andrew Bellwoar, Jr.

“Health Check is a fantastic place for physical therapy. I’ve been to a bunch of different places over the years, and I can confidently say that they are the most professional, supportive, and patient team that I’ve had the pleasure of working with. I worked with Chris and Sienna, but I know that everyone else there strives for their same level of excellence. Chris was great about explaining the recovery process to me, listening to my concerns, and confidently telling me how I could improve with exercises there and at home. He clearly knows what he’s doing, but he’s never condescending and always easy to talk to. Sienna was also great about coaching me through exercises, supporting me when they were tough, and seemed genuinely happy when I reached this or that milestone. She made what could have been a painful process a breeze. I can’t recommend Health Check highly enough!”

Rosario A Nicholas

“I went there after a friend recommended it. And I owe her big! Chris Cush and the rest of the staff were extremely professional, organized, and knowledgeable. I had sciatica, bursitis and have stenosis. I could barely walk. In a month, they had me walking, going up stairs and doing things I hadn’t been able to do in months. Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart.”

Joan Andrews

“I can’t imagine going anywhere else for PT. My first experience was about 2 years ago. Tom quickly determined what was causing my knee pain and solved the problem without any need for surgery, medication, or further intervention. I recently was experiencing some back pain and Chris resolved the issue. His training, experience, encouragement, and humor made the process so easy for me. Thank you so much Tom and Chris!”

Elizabeth Somers

“Health Check Physical Therapy is my go-to place when I have an injury or sports-related issue! Tom is extremely knowledgeable and experienced, so he has been able to help resolve any sports-related issue I have come in with over the past 10 or more years. He spends the time needed to identify the issue and get a plan in place to overcome it. I appreciate the help and thoughtful attention which has always enabled me to overcome various injuries and get back to normal activity.”

Jennifer DePaul

“Honestly, I don’t often write reviews, but my heart is in this one because of the relief and rehabilitation I received from my experience at Health Check. I started treatment for lower back pain that was keeping me up at night, causing a lot of pain in the morning, and limiting my activity in general. Chris, my therapist, spent a lot of time in the beginning assessing me, and diagnosed me with super tight hips, most likely caused by sitting all day (this year I taught virtually all year). I had no idea it was the hips I needed to work on since it was my back that was hurting. He also informed me that we needed to work on my entire core area to increase strength. He designed a unique, progressive program to meet my needs, and we got to work. After just a couple sessions, I was already feeling and moving much better. Now, after 8 sessions, my rehabilitation is complete. I’m pain free, stronger, and better educated about my body. If I ever have pain again, I don’t have to think twice about where I’ll go. Thanks Chris, and everyone at Health Check of Downingtown!”
