I came to SCAR for PT after suffering a fractured tibia and fibula-- post surgery (plates and screws) and 7 weeks non weight bearing. Jim and the other staff are superb! We started slowly, but then they challenged and worked with me to meet my goals: walking again, going up and down stairs, and now regaining full function. The scheduling staff and the PT staff have all been wonderful. I can't thank you enough! (May 2018)

The body does not forgive! The body does not forget! But thank goodness the body has SCAR! Three different times for three different accidents, SCAR saved me. Teaching school can be a dangerous profession! Kids seem to survive the blacktop, but not me. Walking out to the mailbox and tripping over a brick also sent me to SCAR. And then a surgery necessitated physical therapy for my arm. So, thank you Jim, Mike, Jeff, and Caroline for your expertise and humor. And thank you to the rest of the staff and front desk for your support, humor, and help! (June 2018)

My experience at SCAR was therapeutic and educational! Not only have my pain and mobility improved, but also I was taught strengthening exercises, how to sit properly at my desk, and how to do household activities in a way that reduces muscle strain. Jason is very knowledgeable and friendly. He answered all my questions and taught me a great deal. Erika is also very friendly and helpful. If I ever need PT again, I will definitely go to SCAR.

Before I came to SCAR I was unable to play golf without significant pain every time I swung a club. Now I'm able to play golf completely pain free. My golf game needs improvement but at least I can now practice without pain. Lizz and the other folks here at SCAR have been great! (December 2017)

I have been so happy here at SCAR! I have decreased a lot of my daily pain and no longer feel "electricity" running down my arms. My core is stronger, and I've made so much progress with both my neck and back, which has been extremely encouraging. Many thanks to Lizz, Erika, and Brian. Lizz is the best PT fit I could have imagined, and she pushed me beyond what I thought I could do in a fun and encouraging way. Working with the other SCAR staff has also been a joy and has made my journey to recovery both fun and effective.

My therapist, Scott, did an amazing job with me. I came to SCAR after surgery on my patella. I was still on crutches, and Scott worked with me 3 days a week for 2 months.

My physical therapy at SCAR after rotator cuff surgery has been great! My therapist Scott knew when I was ready for new or increased activities even when I was wasn't as confident, and I continued to gain strength and mobility.

My experience at SCAR was an A+. I started treatment with Jim when I tore my ACL 12 years ago because my surgeon recommended him highly. I returned to SCAR when I hurt my back, and again they were great! The third time I required treatment was after surgery on the cartilage in my knee. Jeff was amazing! He's awesome and very knowledgeable. Jeff makes sure his patients are comfortable and cheers you on! I felt secure and knew I was in good hands. Thanks, Jeff, for helping me! I highly recommend SCAR!

When I started coming to therapy, I was in pain all the time, unable to sleep, and could not do my job (horse training) very well. Now my range of motion and strength are better than before my injury. My pain is gone, and I can do my job pain free. Coming to SCAR and working with Scott has further motivated me to get in the best physical condition I can. I now have a SCAR gym membership and plan to do personal training with Leo. I am excited to find out what I can accomplish! (July 2017)

I came to SCAR with low back pain, severe and debilitating at times. Within 2 weeks all my pain subsided, and I have resumed normal activities. Most of the exercises are easy to do at home, and I will continue to do them to prevent any further issues with my back. Lizz's “kneading” of my back with her hands is very effective, too.  I highly recommend SCAR. (July 2016)

Most of the exercises are easy to do at home, and I will continue to do them to prevent any further issues with my back. Lizz's “kneading” of my back with her hands is very effective, too.  I highly recommend SCAR. (July 2016)
I have been to SCAR two times for ACL rehab. Each time, the staff displayed the utmost professionalism and made me feel welcome. Lizz was fantastic– she got me back into running and soccer as fast as possible. Thank you! (August 2016)

I now have full extension in my shoulder after surgery. Excellent treatment at SCAR and knowledgeable staff.  Scott and Jeff are the best.  I’m impressed and recommend SCAR for physical training, injury treatment, and mental attitude. (June 2016)

Everyone associated with SCAR offers support and encouragement. Lizz gave me the confidence to attempt new and increasingly more difficult tasks. Her positive attitude empowered me to strive to regain my pre-injury physical abilities. The atmosphere at SCAR enabled me to maximize my recovery by providing a professional, yet nurturing, therapy program. Thank you! (July 2016)

I came to SCAR to strengthen my core and low back. I had significant pain at the beginning of treatment.  Now at the end of treatment, pain is very minimal and manageable. With (the therapist's) help and take home exercises, I have improved significantly. I feel the staff and service are exceptional. (June 2016)

The facility is one stop for strength training and rehabilitation for the inevitable injuries that plague athletes. When you first walk into SCAR you may be a frustrated runner, soccer player or weekend warrior, but when you are finished with your program there, you will feel like an athlete. The family atmosphere at SCAR makes clients feel welcome but amid the friendly banter, important things happen there. Jim Herkimer and his PT staff can not only fix what ails you, he can make you better, stronger and faster than you were before.

The staff were amazing, especially Lizz. I first came to SCAR unable to put on my shoes without sitting down. Now, I’ve made a full recovery and could not be happier. Recently I finished the Boston Marathon pain free! The care and instruction I received were fantastic. The exercises I learned not only helped me recover from my injury, but also will help me prevent future injuries.  I would not hesitate to recommend SCAR to my family, friends, and athletes I coach. Thank you! (April 2016)

I have successfully been working with Jim Herkimer and the team from SCAR for several years. I have been re-built from the ground up after injuries and have been able to fully come back and compete at the highest level. I train at SCAR for both strength and conditioning while focusing on my core. As a pro cyclist with a very long season, strength and conditioning is vital for my success. Jim and his team have improved my range of motion and strength so well from my shoulder injuries, that they have far exceeded my orthopedic surgeon’s expectations. SCAR has made me into a well balanced athlete and every time I go to SCAR I truly believe I leave a better athlete.

The staff’s dedication to their patients and the work-place is unbelievable. They always display the perfect amount of kindness and respect to the patients and each other.  I rate them a 10 out of 10 and would come back if injured again. (April 2016)
