"I had decided to try PT for my shoulder pain, as my doctor had suggested, and I had heard good things about Hess PT. It helped that Hess PT offered a free initial evaluation. At the Kennedy Township office, Dr. Van did an assessment and explained how PT could help me feel better. Dr. Julie was able to work with me, according to my work schedule. She not only addressed the issue I initially presented, she also provided helpful exercises for other issues I mentioned during our sessions. Overall, I wanted a set of exercises that I could continue doing at home once my allotted PT sessions ended. And that's exactly what I got! I am very thankful to Dr. Julie for sharing her extensive knowledge with me, along with her positive and uplifting personality. I am happy to recommend Hess PT to anyone looking to feel better. Thank you Dr. Julie! "

"I saw Dan Haas here for the last couple months of my pregnancy. I was struggling with rib pain and a sciatic nerve issue and Dan was able to give me relief! I truly don’t know what I would have done without his prenatal massage over these weeks. He not only helped me physically, but also mentally and emotionally prepare for birth. His presence is calming and I’m very grateful for my experience working with him. Thank you, Dan!"

"Could not be more satisfied with the care I receive at this location by Dr. Van. I've tried other PT practices but none have compared to this location in Kennedy Twp He seems genuinely to do everything he can to get me back to my favorite pastime- hiking! It's been a struggle at times, but feel confident under his care that I will be back to my trails soon. I cannot recommend Dr Van enough!! "

"Could not be more satisfied with the care I receive at this location by Dr. Van Barrett. I've tried other PT practices in the past, but none have compared to this location in Kennedy Twp. He knows how important it is for me to get back to my favorite pastime (hiking) and always has that in back of his head as we move forward, which I deeply appreciate! It has been a struggle at times, but feel confident under his care that I will be back to my trails soon. I cannot recommend Dr Van highly enough!!"

"Started with Hess and Dr. Eric because of shoulder surgery. Wasn't expecting much to rehabilitation, getting my shoulder/arm back to "normal" was the objective. Could not have asked for a better outcome. Dr. Eric puts you through your paces but the end result is well worth the effort. He's not afraid to try different techniques to move you along. That's the key, continued forward progress. Now the "broken" shoulder works better than the other one! If I ever need physical therapy again I'll only go to Hess and Dr. Eric."

"I had shoulder surgery in January for a nagging injury. I had met the principals of Hess PT at a social event last year and they impressed me as diligent and down to earth. With so many PT places to choose from, it can be difficult. I could not be happier with my choice. In 5 weeks, I have made great progress with Matt Melczak. He is personable, knowledgable, caring and a true professional. He explains the mechanism of each exercise and how it will benefit me personally. If I could give 10 stars, I would."

"Hello, I visited the office for 10 visits and the service was excellent. The physical therapists were very helpful and informative throughout the process. I wanted to go the PT route first prior to an orthopedic appointment and it was a good experience. I do believe I may eventually need surgery to correct the hip issue. In any case, it was very professional, and Eric was very good. Good luck with your visits to Hess!"

"I have been living with shoulder pain for six months when i saw an ad for a shoulder pain clinic at Hess p/t in kennedy twp. I signed up to see if they could help me and they are doing exactly that! Jenn, Julie, Dan, Van, Tyler are all professional, compassionate, and could not be nicer. Dr's Julie and Dan have been working with me for four weeks now with unbelievable results so far. My strength and range of motion have increased considerably and I am looking forward to a complete recovery. Thank you all very much!"

"I have been a patient at Hess PT under the care of Dr. Matt Melczak for the past four months. He worked on my hamstrings, my glutes, and my lower back. Dr. Matt diagnosed that the cause of the pain was Sciatica. When I started therapy I was in extreme pain it was difficult to stand on my left leg and I had difficulty sleeping. Dr. Matt was very patient and proceeded through progressive steps to strengthen and heal me. I am a new man pain free, strong, and mobile. I would recommend Dr .Matt and Hess Therapy to anyone needing therapy."

Julie listened to my story and was so patient as I tried exercises. She even went out of her way to readjust exercises specifically for me due to the pain I had while trying to stabilize my elbow.

He’s excellent at listening and developing a comprehensive plan to relieve my specific issues and to provide stretches and guidance for me to help myself throughout the process.

"I just wanted to inform everyone of the great physical therapists, aid and front office staff that Hess Physical Therapy has in Atlasburg. Joe, Jess, and Gloria are wonderful! They are very friendly while being efficient which makes them a terrific team. Their office is not only convenient but has great atmosphere. When looking for pt a close family friend recommended Joe. I completely understand why they did. My first session I was literally white knuckled and my hands were sweating because I was so nervous. I was needing pt on both my feet after a fractured ankle and pulled ligaments. Joe put me at ease while explaining the treatment plan. He is personable, patient and has expertise which helped me make huge progress. I am now well on my way with the recovery process. This is an excellent place to receive physical therapy. I would highly recommend this location."

"I visited Hess Physical Therapy in Crafton for an injured knee. From my first evaluation through my entire time at Hess's, Dr. Robert (Tyler) Boyd has been wonderful. He is a great listener, motivator, professional and is very knowledgeable. He explains what exercises are needed and how they help me. He has not only focused on my injured knee, but incorporated exercises to strengthen other parts of my leg to set me up for long-term success. From day 1, Dr. Tyler made me feel validated. After various Dr visits and inconclusive tests prior to PT, I greatly appreciated his acknowledgement and awareness of my pain levels and limited mobility. Not only that, but Dr. Tyler is hands on with your exercises, in getting to know you, and in celebrating your successes. Also, Heidi at the front desk set a high bar for my experience from my first call to schedule an appointment - kind, helpful and funny. The camaraderie at the Crafton office is so apparent. Cannot recommend Hess Physical Therapy enough!"

"I would highly recommend Hess Physical Therapy to everyone! Matt is phenomenal. He really takes the time to listen and learn all about of your history before starting anything. I have chronic headaches and could never pinpoint any contributing factors. However, within the first visit, he was able to evaluate me and determine multiple potential triggers. He also didn’t only focus on the area that was causing issues for me (head and neck), but everything around it to strengthen it moving forward and prevent the need for further PT. After just a few weeks of going to Matt and him slightly adjusting/increasing aspects the plan, my headaches and neck pain have reduced significantly. I am barely getting any headaches anymore! He also gives you exercises to take home and continue working on moving forward so that you don’t revert back. Both Matt and Jen are so fun and friendly, making the experience a great one!"

"We started working with Dan Haas when I found out that my baby was breech. He helped my husband and me with spinning babies techniques and successfully got our baby to turn head down in just 5 days - right before our 37 week appointment! He continued to give weekly prenatal massages which were very relaxing as I had a lot of anxiety leading up to birth. He offered to doula our birth - my husband and I weren't sure at first since this was our 2nd child, however, we decided it would be great to have another advocate in the room. We did not regret it - Dan was amazing! He coached my husband on how to best support me and made sure I had everything I needed and was as comfortable as I could be. He communicated my needs to the nurse and staff to take that burden off of us. My husband says that he felt more involved in our 2nd child's birth than our 1st because Dan allowed him to be focused on my individual contractions and coached him how to best support me. My labor progressed very quickly - I had an unmedicated birth with staff running in at the last minute to help deliver the baby! After our daughter was born, I had great one-on-one time with her but was too uncomfortable to hold her during repairs, so her measurements were done during that time. Dan never left my side. It was great having him stay with me and comfort me while I was so uncomfortable and I felt supported while my husband could enjoy those first moments with our daughter during her measurements. My labor and delivery was so fast thanks to all of the prep work, spinning babies exercises to get baby into the right position, and relaxation from prenatal massages. I wouldn't change a thing about my birth - I felt I had an advocate, an extra voice, and so much support. We always say we couldn't have don it without Dan and we are so happy to have him a part of our daughter's birth story!"

"Both my son and I have been in to see Dr. Eric and we've both seen pretty significant results. My son was having some minor back issues after an ultimate frisbee fall and I have had some ongoing muscular skeletal issues for years. My son's issues resolved after only a couple visits. My pain, being more severe and with a much longer history has not completely resolved but I have seen tremendous improvement. Dr. Eric has worked with me not only on exact area of pain (my jaw), but also on my overall posture which seems to be contributing to the discomfort. I'll also say, I really appreciate the individualized care at Hess. I've been to a handful of other physical therapy practices over the years and sometimes I was bounced around from therapist to therapist or I'd only spend a few minutes with the therapist before being shuttled off to the assistant to do my exercises. That's not the case at Hess where I always feel like my care is the priority during the time of my appointment."

"Had a fabulous experience here at Hess Physical Therapy. Came into the office for the first time with reservations because of my pain level. Dr. Eric provided an excellent service that I will recommend to anyone and everyone I hear that needs to go through the process of PT for their injuries. You get a one-on-one time slot where he devotes all his focus onto your need’s instead of multitasking and hopping from one patient to another. He is hands on and will teach you in detail about your specific injury so that you understand the anatomy of what’s involved. I learned about my injury in a way that I wasn’t expecting and now that I have graduated from PT I have the tools to continue the process on my own. Dr. Eric has given me my confidence back and has brought me to a level of function that didn’t seem possible given the extent of my injury. Highly recommend"

"I tore my achilles in May of 2021 and did a long stint of physical therapy with a different practice. After that was finished, I got back into my training and picked up a new martial art - only to realize that I had some lingering weakness and issues caused by the injury. Gage and the staff helped me identify the problem, correct it, and then provided me with new movements and training to mix in with my regimen. Their goal wasn't to keep me there as long as possible, it was to get me healthy and better than I was before. I'm now able to train with no pain, and performing complex movements that I wasn't able to do prior to the injury. Thank you Gage, Tyler, Heidi and the rest of the staff at Hess!!"

They are professional, kind, considerate, and actually make PT a fun experience and something that I look forward to. Tyler and Gage are always listening and finding ways to help me improve, and not solely focused on the sets and reps of that day.

"5 stars for Dan Haas! I used Dan Haas during my last pregnancy for prenatal massages. I also had the pleasure of having Dan be my doula when I delivered my baby. I had horrible pregnancy induced carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand and arm. Dan worked on my carpal tunnel pain and greatly reduced the pain through his massage techniques. He also helped ease my back and hip pain. I also hired Dan to be my birth doula. Dan was a great doula as well. I had a complicated pregnancy and unexpectedly delivered my baby at 35 weeks. Dan was able to quickly get to the hospital when I needed him. Dan was there for me and comforted me during the whole delivery. He was very professional and followed all the visitor/doula guidelines at the hospital. I highly recommend Dan to any pregnant mama, whether it’s for prenatal massages or being their doula! Thanks Dan!"

He is very knowledgeable and explains everything so I can easily understand what's going on and implement exercises etc into my daily life to fix the muscle imbalances in my neck, shoulders, and back from about 15-20 years of sitting without good posture and lifting with bad form.

"I would highly recommend Dr. Eric as a physical therapist to anyone who wants a therapist who is committed to helping a patient achieve their maximum potential regarding pain relief and function. My personal experience started earlier this year when my right shoulder (dominant one) became painful and very limited in terms of range of motion. I was diagnosed with a rotator cuff tear and adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder) and was treated with an injection and given a script for PT. The pain was agonizing; not only did Dr. Eric with the help of Diane give me an immediate appointment, but they worked with me over a course of many physical therapy sessions to bring my shoulder back to a much improved functioning and pain free state allowing me to sleep without pain and be able to perform my usual activities with a remarkable improvement in my range of motion. I was given teaching on home exercises and a program to keep my shoulder functioning and pain free for the long term. I am highly satisfied with Dr. Eric's treatment of my shoulder and felt that his techniques and follow up are what made the difference. In addition, Diane was very helpful in giving me appointments which would work with my schedule and has been genuinely caring. I would highly recommend Hess/Dr. Eric for others with a need for physical therapy."

I was having knee pain for 6 months, and as a result my gait was off, and I had developed pain in my whole leg. I. had been walking 3 miles a day, and when I started I was not able to walk down steps or even a small hill, and I was walking with a limp. Matt was able to understand all the mechanical issues that were going on with my knee and leg, and provided a well planned and precise therapy directed specifically for me. I can't believe it, but I can walk up and down steps with very little discomfort, I'm walking a mile a day, and feel sure as I continue with my strengthening I will continue to improve. I worked closely with Nicole who was wonderful as well! She guided me through all the exercises with consistent support. I appreciate both Matt, Nicole and the whole team.

I am grateful to have received hands-on guidance, as Dr. Jessica helped to stabilize and redirect my muscles/tendons to the proper position while using hand weights to strengthen my muscles properly. She trained me how to properly use elastic bands for regaining strength as well. I learned how to do the exercises on my own so I can continue these workouts at home. I received massage and stretching therapy from Dan for muscle relief, and I am so grateful for both of them!! My physician at Partners in Family Care recommended that I receive PT from Hess Physical Therapy, and I am very grateful for her recommendation and entrusting Hess PT for my care for recovery.

Everything prescribed to you both in clinic and at home is personalized to optimize your needs for recovery. The office is a clean and welcoming environment with a very open gym where you are always seen and taken care of.

"Nothing but excellence from Dr. Eric and his crew! Each star represents one of the 5 C’s of Physical therapy. The first star is given for culture. From the first moment I stepped in the door my health was the number one concern. I quickly was able to grow a strong relationship with each member of the clinic. The next C stands for Creativity. I have been to many different PT locations and always seem to get the same type of treatment rather than be simple lunges or boring calf raises. However, at Hess PT I was able to get past the boring exercises and focus more on my core and other smaller things that can be causing my pain. The 3rd C stands for cleanliness. Physical therapy can be a little gross at times as you are constantly touching the same weights and using the same tables. That being said that’s not the case at Hess PT. There are cleaning wipes used on every piece of equipment after use. Also, the air in building smells fresh and cool. The 4th C stands for consideration. Dr. Eric is able to adapt to every kind of situation. He is able to help me, as a teen with back pain, then go help and elderly women who has troubles pushing her shopping carts. The last and most important C stands for communication. I have to say when I first met the staff I do not recall them stating their names but that was the only blunder that they showed in the communication field. I have not missed a single appointment as they always send reminders about dates and times. That can be attributed to the wonderful secretary who Is always extremely pleasant.

Dr. Matt Melczak at Hess PT took a different approach than I was used to and because of that, we were able to make large, significant improvements in just 2 months. He was able to zero-in on the exact source of the pain (something that previous PTs were unsuccessful with) & establish a 6-8 week program to address the pain ranging from my neck, through mid back, to my lower back by focusing on improvements in flexibility, mobility, and strength. I appreciated his approach of explaining the issues he sees, using props as needed, and detailing how his treatments/exercises would work to relieve pain in the short & long-term. He also takes a personal approach to his profession & you can tell he actually enjoys his job; contrary to a lot of medical professionals nowadays that act like programmed robots being forced to treat people against their will.

When looking for a PT I want someone who will work with me while I am there and use manual techniques. Dr. Eric does both in knowledgeable and creative ways. I went for both shoulder and back issues and have learned how to maintain health in each, to work out safely, and got pain relief. Everything you need from PT!"

"My experience with Hess PT for my plantar fasciitis has been exceptional. Dr. Tyler offers enthusiasm paired with empathy. I’ve done physical therapy in the past, and it was far less engaging. I’ve looked forward to PT each week, and am kind of sad my sessions are coming to a close. I am very happy to be not be in pain thanks to Dr. Tyler. (and Dr. Gage too!)"

"I met with Dan regularly for the last trimester of my pregnancy and I can't say enough great things! He spent time on Spinning Babies to help my baby turn into the best birthing position. I also met with him weekly for prenatal massage work. This really helped get my mind and body ready for labor and delivery. I felt so great about the experience with him, that I decided to use him as my birthing doula as well. He really helped with pain management and keeping me in a healthy place mentally during labor. I would highly recommend!!"

"Had major surgery on my right shoulder mid-December 2021. After 5 days in the sling it was time for physical therapy. It was recommended that I go to Hess because of a former patients testimony about this place. What a transformation from my first visit to the last. I didn't think that I would ever have the mobility and strength brought back as quickly as I did. Dr. Eric and Kelly were both instrumental in my recovery, I felt a sense of accomplishment on each and every visit. They took a personal interest in my getting back to a more mobile and stronger shoulder. It was a relationship that I didn't receive at other PT offices. I enjoyed Dr. Eric changing the workouts to make it interesting and challenging, it never was stale. Though it wasn't always easy it was was worth every second to know that our focus and goal was to allow me to enjoy my life after surgery and not be in pain or immobile. I'm not completely through with my therapy, there will be exercises to do at home but even here I was given instruction and printouts and equipment to continue with my rehab - who does that!? My thanks to Hess Physical Therapy's Dr. Eric and Kelly for being the best teammates you could have to get you well again."

"Competent, caring, convenient, congenial. Knowledgeable. Efficient. On TIME. That ON TIME is a big one for me. You don’t ‘wait’ here. They are super efficient and very friendly. I waited 3 weeks to post so that I had a ‘true’ review to post. I am consistently pleased with every aspect of this practice. From Heidy at the efficient desk to Dr. Tyler whose care plan is making a difference in my significant pain levels to Dr. Gage who greets me daily as if I were his patient. A smooth running operation that makes you feel like you are spending time with friends. Who just happen to be making your needs their priority. As an administrative therapist ( speech / language) myself, I know the ‘back story’ of what it takes to create efficiency in scheduling, flexibility, and ( the bane of existence) paperwork / documentation. They make it look easy - and it’s not."

"I've been dealing with what I called "sleep injuries" for a long while — I'd wake up in the morning with neck, back, and shoulder pain for no good reason. In January, I had such bad pain and hand numbness that I finally went to a doctor and she referred me to physical therapy. When I first went to see Dr. Eric, I couldn't use a knife and fork or drive without being in pain. Now, a month later, I'm 80%+ better with improved mobility and posture and very little pain and stiffness. My hand isn't numb anymore and the tingling is almost gone. The combination of massage, strength training, and functional mobility exercises have made such a huge improvement and I'm surprised every day by how much of a difference I've seen and felt. Dr. Eric and Kelly are both friendly and welcoming, and despite the experience not always being the most comfortable — those muscle knots are no joke! — I've been grateful for their help. I'd recommend going to them for your physical therapy needs and I wish I'd gone in sooner!"

"I went to Hess Physical Therapy for back pain which was preventing me from doing basic activities like driving, standing, and walking for extended periods of time. I also strive to workout 4 or 5 times a week which wasn't possible due to my back pain. Dr. Eric gave me significant pain relief within the first few weeks of treatment which allowed me to resume all of my normal activities, including my workout routine. I've been to physical therapy over the years for various issues but my experience at Hess was by far the best. Dr. Eric gives you personal attention during your entire therapy session. I've been to other physical therapy clinics where they've had me basically go through the exercises with very little supervision. Dr. Eric was the exact opposite in that he supervised all of my exercises which allowed him to correct any mistakes I was making. He's also a very "hands on" therapist in terms of the manual work he does. He stretched me out and did a number of manipulations to correct my misalignments. He's very knowledgeable and also just a super nice guy. Kelly oversees the front of the clinic and she does a wonderful job scheduling and making you feel welcome. She also helped work me into the schedule several times when I had scheduling conflicts. I would recommend Dr. Eric and Kelly to any of my family or friends that might need physical therapy."

"Dr Eric is simply the best physical therapist, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. I started experiencing sciatica pain on one side and overall muscle pain/weakness 5 months ago, that prevented me from running. Running isn’t just exercise for me. It grounds me and calms my mind, no matter how chaotic life can get. So I was at an extremely low point in my life 7 wks ago when I started PT, both physically and mentally. Dr Eric is patient, kind, and extremely knowledgeable. Based on the initial evaluation, which isn’t rushed, he creates an individual action plan to get you back on your feet. Mine wasn’t targeted only to the symptoms, but also to helping me get back to running. He’s really hands on and gradually empowers you to understand what your body is telling you when you’re in pain and use the tools that you’ve learned to help yourself. I started running again after 3wks of PT with Dr Eric. There were good days and bad at first, but he helped me work through the bad days, strengthen areas where I was weak, and understand signs where my lower back was compensating that I would have previously ignored. I feel stronger than I have in a really long time and am back to running daily. Thankfully I now know how to manage the sciatica symptoms if/when it flares up and don’t have to stop running again when it does."

"I had right total knee replacement December 20, 2021. Being new to the area, I asked a neighbor where she was receiving her therapy. She stated Hess PT in Allison Park and is so pleased with her experience. I have had PT in the past for a prior L total knee replacement. I became disappointed finding that I was one of many patients being treated. It usually was a different therapist each visit. I decided to give Hess a try. My wife called to schedule and left a message. To our surprise, a call back was within minutes. I was scheduled and met Eric, the therapist for me. He is patient, knowledgeable and never rushes through treatments. I have had 6 weeks of PT with Dr Eric and was impressed with the one on one care with only Eric. I cannot be more pleased with Hess, Eric and Kelly at the Allison Park office. I would definitely choose them again and refer others to their care as well. Well done! Keep up the great work."

The extra attention to my underlying issues went a long way towards getting me healthy and back to the sports I enjoy. Plus the rest of the team is friendly, warm, and helpful."

"I just want to testify to how great Hess Physical Therapy is. Kelly and Dr. Eric are both awesome people, very personable, very outgoing, easy to talk to but most important of all they are excellent at their respective jobs. Kelly handled all my insurance needs quickly and competently, she let me know what was covered and what wasn't and what my costs were going to be. She made the paperwork and questionnaires easy to do and she also patiently managed to help me schedule appointments around my busy schedule which is no easy task, always with a smile and a great attitude. Then there's Dr. Eric! I had arthritis in both knees and he told me right away that if I did what he asked that for sure I would be stronger at the end but that he couldn't guarantee that my pain would be gone. Well my right knee is 95 % back to normal and my Left knee is definitely improving but still gives me pain. Like Dr. Eric says though, my knees didn't get this bad overnight so it may take some time. He amazes me with his knowledge of human anatomy but even more than that is his ability to actually listen to what you say and put it to use. Every day he asks how you are and what changes you have noticed then you can see him think about what you said and maybe right then and maybe 5 minutes later he will modify what you are doing based on what you told him, and guess what? It works!!! I never had much faith in foam rolling or stretches but they actually work. You can tell he is compassionate and really cares about his patients by the time he takes with each person he sees. He answers all and any questions you have and takes the time to make sure you understand what he has said, and the same with anything he sends you ho me to do. As the public face of Hess, Kelly and Dr. Eric are truly great assets to this business and I would recommend them to anyone for their physical therapy needs."

Fortunately, staff members such as Dr. Jess have actually taken anatomy courses and studied hard - and she recognized my symptoms as being congruent with a condition that did not require surgery. She worked to help my body come back into line and relieved the pain after a few sessions. I'm working on learning some new exercises and postures that will help me to maintain this pain-free status.

Thanks to Dr. Eric I was able to regain full range of motion and strength much quicker than after my first surgery. I did however suffer a setback during my shoulder therapy due to lower back and neck pain. He switched the therapy to resolve my back pain in a short amount of time and then continued therapy on my shoulder. I know from my first surgery and from my surgeon that it takes up to a year to fully recover and because of Dr. Eric I’m well on my way. I highly recommend to anyone suffering from pain and in need of therapy to consult with Dr. Eric at Hess Physical Therapy. You won’t regret it.

"I injured my lower spine this past winter and have been experiencing considerable pain off and on over the past few months. X-Rays showed issues with L4, L5 & S1. Dr. Eric Steglmeier reviewed the prognosis from the x-ray information that I provided him along with that from my PCP. After that, Eric asked me to explain in detail exactly how my injury was affecting me. From that information Eric started out with basics to strengthen my core and to better understand the issues I was having. With each session, Eric made adjustments after discussing my fitness and reviewing any changes to my condition. After 20 sessions and following home exercises as prescribed by Dr. Eric I can honestly say that I'm feeling substantially better than I've felt in the past 4 months. Eric illustrates that he is exceptionally knowledgeable and cares for the well- being of his patients. I would highly recommend Dr. Eric to everyone experiencing back or other related injuries that require physical therapy.

I learned a lot in the classroom, but being able to work under Dr. Eric has given me even more tools to use in the clinic and has made me a more critical thinker when it comes to assessment, treatment, and patient management. Kelly Is a great PTA and was always there to help me in the clinic when things got too busy to handle. I have witnessed plenty of patients come into the clinic with pain and Dr. Eric was able to make immediate changes to relieve some of their pain. He is able to give every patient his full attention and best care. I enjoyed going into the clinic every day and wouldn't have wanted to go anywhere else for a better experience."

"The staff at Hess Physical Therapy are very friendly & professional. Dr. Matt helped me to recover from my ACL surgery. During each session, Dr. Matt would ask if I had any questions or concerns. He was very knowledgeable in explaining the recovery process and timeline. In less than seven months, I am now able to resume my sports related activities I am looking forward to skiing this winter. I highly recommend Hess Physical Therapy."

Each day, I felt that I was making progress and always did what I was asked to do both at home and while with Eric and Josh. Their knowledge of the body and areas that needed to be strengthened put me on the best path to a successful recovery from an intrusive surgery."

Dr. Eric, Kelly, and Josh have achieved that 100%. Dr. Eric showed extensive knowledge in his profession. I definately got results and relief from a painful case of TMJ disorder. Highly recommended.

"After suffering a partially torn meniscus in my right knee playing soccer, I found recovery to be very difficult. After a few stubborn weeks, I asked my PCP about physical therapy. I chose Hess Physical Therapy and I couldn’t be more satisfied with my progress. I could tell after only my first session that I was in good hands. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and they’ve helped me get back on my feet, literally and figuratively. I’m just a few short weeks of working with Dr Eric, Josh, and Kelly, I am back on the soccer field. The biggest difference for me was getting my confidence back. I was nervous to put too much stress or pressure on my “bad knee”, until the staff at Hess Physical Therapy worked with me and showed me that recovery was not only attainable, but closer than I ever expected. I would recommend Hess Physical Therapy to anyone, especially athletes recovering from injuries like me."

Since day one, Dr. Van Barrett and staff truly made me feel as a "guest of honor at their home dining room table". In contrast, other PT locations made me feel I was just "another customer at the fast-food restaurant drive-thru". Dr. Van's professional and personalized attention gave me the confidence that he was truly concern about my recovery by constantly re-evaluating my progress and making the necessary adjustments.

"I have had a lot of surgeries and a lot of physical therapy in my life but this place is the very best ever- and I loved going there! I had my knee partially replaced in Florida this past winter- it did not go well, I apparently formed scar tissue against the new knee implant and it was extremely painful. I stayed in Florida for 4 months trying to find a solution, the best they could do was a technique called Graston and it helped but was not the total answer. I had to return home to Pittsburgh and I googled scar tissue mobilization - Hess Physical Therapy in Crafton and Dan Haas' name came right up. It was very convenient for me so I started with them. What a good decision- Dan used ASTYM- a newer scar tissue technique, and it helped immensely. Dr Gage is a young breath of fresh air, he really knows his stuff and gets right to the root of the problem or problems in my case. It is a friendly, welcoming and healing place...."

The atmosphere was always calm where Dr. Eric would typically work with patients one on one. His knowledge in the physical therapy field is shown through the work with his patients and it is obvious that he genuinely cares for everyone and looks to help them reach their goals. Hess was different from any other clinic I had ever been too. I like that the physical therapist himself was able to work directly with the patients while creating a relationship with each individual. Numerous patients did not hesitate to compliment Dr. Eric's work as a PT. If I were ever to find myself needing treatment, Hess PT would definitely be the place I would choose."

I came to completely agree with them during my entire time working with this facility. The atmosphere was very upbeat. I was cheerfully greeted by everyone I encountered, beginning with Michelle at the front desk. Dr. Gage always made me feel that he listened to me and thoroughly explained the entire process as we progressed. I felt complete confidence in him and respected his knowledge and techniques in my therapy process. He always asked if I had any questions and no question or doubt was inconsequential! Dr. Jess always had a friendly greeting; Reilly worked with me and encouraged me; Dan was always around if I had any questions also. Every intern working there kept the optimism going. I especially appreciate the follow-up Dr. Gage offered with check-ups within months after my in-person therapy sessions were completed.

As a former patient at other clinics, I can say with confidence that Dr. Eric is distinctive with his skills and approach to treatment. He dedicates one on one time with each patient and goes beyond to ensure that his patients are educated about their condition and plan of treatment. This is a huge contrast to my own experience as a patient at other bigger clinics where patients were left alone to do the exercises and had minimal interaction with the PT. If I had known about Hess when I was a patient, I 100% would have come here. Both Dr. Eric and the front desk staff, Allison, are incredibly friendly and welcoming. Throughout my time observing at Hess PT, I have seen amazing progress and transformations from patients' first days to their last discharge days. Not only that, but Dr. Eric's eagerness to teach and explain procedures to me as a student clearly illustrates his vast knowledge and passion for this field. At Hess PT, you will undoubtedly gain the benefits of a small clinic with individualized attention and care from a truly skilled clinician!"

"In December 2010, I experienced a severe compound fracture of my left tibia and had two plates and 23 titanium screws implanted to promote healing. The presence of this hardware resulted in daily pulsing nerve pain emanating from the toes of my left foot, which I was unable to relieve for over a decade. I saw the ad for pain management from Hess Therapy who had an office in my Allison Park neighborhood, made an appointment, attended a preliminary evaluation session in April of 2021and soon thereafter began treatment. Within 2 visits, the foot pain began to ease and after six weeks of treatment I feel that this problem has been 90% alleviated, thanks to Dr. Eric Stiglmeier's excellent therapy program. My balance skills have also improved significantly as well. Dr. Eric's skills as a therapist are remarkable to observe. He is a multi-tasker, easily directing therapy programs for two or sometimes three patients at a time, providing hands-on massage techniques to one patient while correcting exercise techniques on another. He has excellent people skills, motivating each patient in a manner that best encourages each to achieve optimal results from exercise routines prescribed by him. I have been promoting Dr. Eric to the folks in my senior men's fellowship at our weekly meetings, resulting thus far in one new Hess Therapy patient and the possibility of many more if my selling skills are still on par. I highly recommend Hess Therapy and especially Dr. Eric for anyone wishing to manage pain and improve balance skills. Paul Palmer' - Allison Park"

I was sleeping with an ice pack and taking pain killers 24/7. An MRI pretty much pointed to shoulder surgery which I was avoiding like the COVID! I got a flier in the mail from Hess Physical Therapy and thought what the heck -I’ll give it a try. During my initial consultation with Eric he examined me and pretty much called out everything the MRI told us. Six weeks later my shoulder is almost totally pain-free. I will never have completely pain free due to my age (63) and the damage done from my injury but I am 150% better than my first visit! No more ice packs, no more pain killers!

The previous therapist ended up getting way too aggressive and ended up breaking one of my toes in the process. This required yet another foot surgery this year to repair the previous PT's damage. I chose Hess PT this time and my only regret was not using them originally back in 2019 as I would have saved myself a second surgery. Dr. Eric pushed me beyond what I would normally push myself but also understands what is too far. Both Dr. Eric and Allison were great to work with.

I didn’t have high hopes cause I’ve been to therapy before for approximately 1&half years. I’ve got distonia and it has been getting worse as time goes on. It was from a Prescription called Regan. Anyway I met with Dr. Eric and made several observations and told me what he could help me with and how. I figured what the heck I’ll try anything at this point My next neurologist appointment wasn’t til May. Looked like another pill. We started slow and easy as to not cause any pain. He moved my arm in various ways checking my range of motion without pain. Then began with various stretching motions and continued to add more stretching movement to the plan he kept adding more and different stretching exercises things start improving rather quickly in the. I’ll make a long story short I couldn’t be more happy with the the improvements have gotten my pain level has decreased by half my range of motion has increased by Jabal my strength has doubled I feel so much better. I feel like there’s actually hope for me and my goal is to take up golf again and I’ll see either air might be a good chance there’s a light there and I’m not near as depressed as I once was as I know that he’s take me on the right journey of very happy to have met his acquaintance and have his professional guidance I don’t know what I’ve done with time I personally know him a great deal of gratitude and thanks and Allison two she’s been a big help.

I also came to Dr Eric with vertigo , something I lived with for a long time , realizing now vertigo was a huge part of my health issues! Dr Eric assured me and explained to me exactly what this was and how he could change this for me!! Just after 2 visits I now live WITHOUT vertigo ❤️ I would say if you are struggling in pain , don’t wait another day , call Hess Physical Therapy and make an appointment with Dr. Eric , it surely will change the quality of your life❤️❤️"

"I went to the Allison Park office for my first appointment in so much pain and very depressed. I am a very active person who, for the past 6 months has not been able to exercise or do the things that I love. My sciatic pain was so intense and after attending a few sessions at a UPMC facility, I felt no relief. I was skeptical about going to another PT Clinic. A good friend talked me into going to Dr. Eric Stiglmeier at Hess Physical Therapy. She promised me great results if I followed his program. I went to therapy 3 times a week for 6 weeks and had great results. I was very impressed with Dr. Eric and the personal attention that he gives to all of his patients. He is very professional and well educated. He is a true "Miracle Worker" and I can't thank him enough for giving me my life back. Allison, the receptionist was also very helpful and well organized. She took care of all of my insurance needs, I did not have to do a thing. She is always friendly and cheerful, I enjoyed talking with her every week. I highly recommend Hess Physical Therapy. I promise that you will not be disappointed. Joey Weber"

That means he guides every patient through manual therapy and exercises. Patients are always getting one-on-one PT care. Dr. Eric is also a professional instructor for a student like me. He always explains the purpose of the exercise to the patient and me proactively."

Dr. Eric made it easy to understand the muscles, bones, and how the operation worked to ensure I could return to my former self. I am now back to work and I am able to be on my hands and knees again! Thank you, thank to Eric and the team at Hess PT."

"At 59 years old I had no choice but to get my knee replaced. I had no idea what kind of journey this would be for me so I listened to others on what I should expect. Someone recommended Hess physical therapy for my rehabilitation and that was the best advice I’ve had in a long time! I received a phone call prior to my first visit from Allison, she’s was so helpful and took care of all the behind-the-scenes details so I can concentrate on my therapy. I was introduced to Dr. Eric and was immediately impressed with the one on one attention that I was given. Dr. Eric’s knowledge of how the human body reacts to surgery and what it takes to get it back to where It needs to be is simply amazing. My progress so far has been outstanding and I will be forever grateful for the care provided by Dr. Eric. If you’re looking for physical therapy your search is over, Dr Eric at Hess Physical Therapy Allison Park provides results! Ray Cubarney"

Dr. Gage Swartz is one of the smartest Pt's I have met. He is also probably the most funny PT I have met. He will keep you laughing the whole time while he gives you an intense and effective PT program. Dr. Jess Papale is so clearly dedicated to her patients. She pays such close attention to detail and works one on one more extensively with her patients than I have seen others PT's do. PTA Dan Haas, is consistent, knowledgeable, and a heck of a hard worker. Know that you are safe with Dan around. He knows what precautions to take and how to make you feel at ease. He has expertise in a wide variety of areas and excels in each of them. Michelle is great to talk to and makes you feel at home. She makes you feel like you and your struggles matter when you walk through their doors. She will always be the first person to greet you with a friendly smiling face when you come for your appointment! There is not a doubt in my mind that you will leave your appointment feeling like you have an effective work plan and had a great time. At this office I made friends that I will miss dearly. To Dan, Gage, and Jess: Thank you for everything you helped me with. Thank you for making me feel welcome. A lot of offices I have been to do not meet your standards.

I was so excited when I could actually raise my arm to blow dry my hair or even scratch my nose. They listen to every thing I had to say and helped in every way they could.

"I knew I was good in hands from the moment I first met with Dr. Jess. Not only is she extremely intelligent, but she is also very personable and easy to talk to. In the past, I have been stubborn about getting help for the pain in my shoulder. I didn't believe that therapy would help, and that I would just have to live with my pain. I was very wrong. Dr. Jess helped me gain back movement in my shoulder and significantly reduce the pain I was having on a day to day basis. I am truly thankful for the service I received from Hess PT and Dr. Jess. THANK YOU!"

"I was blessed to find Dan Haas before my second pregnancy & was so looking forward to having him work with me & prepare me for the birth of our second baby. During this time, he came to my house with all of his equipment & spent a very generous amount of time doing an exceptional prenatal massage, reflexology where appropriate, and even hypnosis. I love Dan's level of expertise in working with pregnant moms & his passion to continue to build & expand his education. He knows how to safely & effectively care for pregnant clients, he makes the experience of pregnancy so much more enjoyable & pain-free. I love his dedication to providing a comfortable & caring setting. Dan is incredibly skilled & knowledgeable in his trades. He graciously offered to doula my birth, and continually checked in on me throughout my pregnancy, birth & afterwards. I just experienced my first regular massage from Dan since my birth. It was amazing! I will continue to schedule massages with Dan. He is a wealth of knowledge & talent. He will take wonderful care of you. Dan is a diamond in the rough. Thank you Dan for helping me feel my best & making me a better mom. -Laura B"

"Dr Eric began his superb assistance early this year for my lower back pain. Of particular note was how he broadened his assistance to address gait problems that had built up over the years. He also added telehealth sessions during the period of COVID that caused me to seek to reduce visiting indoor facilities. He is a highly qualified PT professional who develops an excellent rapport with his patients. The staff at Allison Park are also thoughtful and helpful with Dr. Eric's leadership."

"I sustained an injury to my bicep and shoulder during a fall about a year ago. For months, I just dealt with the pain. This summer, I saw an ad on Facebook for a free clinic for shoulder pain evaluation. After attending the clinic, I started therapy with Dr. Eric- he is both professional and knowledgeable. His initial evaluation was thorough. He listened to my concerns while performing his asssessment. Through massage, manipulation and strength exercises, the pain has subsided. My range of motion has improved. I am able to raise my arm to wash my hair and reach shelves with no pain. I would highly recommend Hess Physical Therapy and Dr. Eric. I would also like to commend his interns, Orrin and Drew- good luck to you both."

"Highly recommend the team at HESS Kennedy location. Very friendly, listen to your concerns and work with you to achieve mobility & strength goals. I worked closely with Dr Jess, Dr Van & PTA Kelly. My personal journey started after rod & nail insertion surgery for a spiral fractured right humerus, which while securing the bone to enable healing, left my arm & shoulder with strength & mobility issues. During my initial consult with Dr Jess, she assessed my surgery records, my range of motion, pain level, my expectations & goals and set my PT plan in motion. PTA Kelly & Dr Van were instrumental in my therapy sessions...always cognizant of my comfort and progress. Encouraging me to the next level. I could not be happier with how well my therapy has worked. My surgeon warned I would never be 100% but I feel this team has gotten me from about 10% to 90+%."

"Dan did absolutely amazing with my pregnancy massages. He made me feel so relaxed and gave me some amazing techniques to use in labor. Calming, motivating and supportive are just a few on the words to describe all that Dan helped me to feel during this process. I will absolutely recommend him to others I know that can benefit from pregnancy massages. :)"

"I have been seeming Dan for years, he’s amazing! With his help, I have been able to run 7 marathons and a 50k. He has done ART, Graston Technique, cupping and massage therapy to help me with pain and soreness. We always discuss what option would be the best for me at the time, with the current injury that I have, and he is able to get me through it and back to running. I plan on seeing Dan for as long as can. Thank you again!"

"Dan is a remarkable, highly skilled and professional massage therapist as well as physical therapist assistant. He tailors each massage session to the specific problem areas, while also dedicating time to all other non problematic areas. Dan is very knowledgeable and explains all the processes and procedures he will be performing before and during the massage."

"I had the opportunity to work with Dr. Matt and Kelly and Stephanie (she is a student). They were very friendly and very detailed oriented on my care and I would highly recommend anyone with physical therapy needs to go here. I feel so much better after following Dr. Matt's regime. Diane at the front counter was equally as nice and awesome as the entire office is. Highly recommended."

"I had the opportunity to work with Dan and he has helped me so much! I have multiple trigger points in my neck which cause headaches that I experience quite often. Dan had used ART on my neck which helped decrease the pain and tightness I had been experiencing. Dan is fantastic at what he does in his profession as a PTA, along with his many certifications! I am very thankful to have had the opportunity to work with him! Thank you!"

"I received physical therapy at Hess following surgery for a fractured humerus. Thanks to Dr. Matt and his assistants, Kelly and Dan, I regained strength and range of motion in my arm and shoulder. This was my first time needing physical therapy and it was a good experience. The entire staff at Hess Physical Therapy is professional, caring and very friendly. I highly recommend Dr. Matt and Hess Physical Therapy."

"Physical therapy at Hess has been wonderful experience. Dr. Eric is knowledgeable, patient and willing to really listen to his patients. I have had previous PT experiences that have been negative, and frustrating. It felt like other places treated me more like a number than a person. But my experience at Hess PT with Dr. Eric has been a very welcome positive change to my previous experiences. If you need a PT my suggestion would be to go to Hess Physical therapy in allison park to get high-quality care."
