Direct Physiotherapy

Fantastic experience: Dr Tupta worked on my legs and i had a great experience. he put me on a program and did some dry needling. 100% recommend

Fantastic experience: If I could give Mason 10 stars I would! I have not had relief in my neck and back in many years due to fibromyalgia and especially recently after an accident. Mason had me feeling amazing after just one appointment, and continues to give great care weekly. I look forward to our appointments! Mason is also very personable and easy to talk to! A true gem!

Fantastic experience: He knows his stuff, very professional and very honest. He’s great for headaches and very knowledgeable. Far and away the best therapist I’ve found. He set a timeline and a game plan and ensured I was improving instead of just making another appointment without showing advancement. He works with insurance and even if he didn’t I will gladly pay out of pocket. Health is paramount and a good mentor is invaluable. You will not be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Mason is kind- respectful. He has created a safe space for a lot of us who have been mis-treated by others in the past #regard

Fantastic experience: I have visited Dr. Mason multiple times over the past year or so and have always been thoroughly impressed. He is a doctor that genuinely listens to your concerns and provides great explanation of his diagnosis and treatment plan. I appreciate his use of data to track progress and he is just a great person to work with. He also gives you exercises to work on at home (which I could definitely be better at using!) I also really value the fact that he offers dry needling, a treatment that I find to be rare here in western PA. I highly recommend Dr. Mason and his team!

Fantastic experience: Dr Tupta is professional and caring. He takes the time needed to understand his the issues of his patients and develops an appropriate treatment plan accordingly. He is also willing to make referrals and recommend other beneficial treatments.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended - Dr. Mason Tupta is first an amazing person, attentive to the person who is arriving for treatment, explains in details what the issue is all about and the process for improvements. Each and every visit is detailed, follow-up is done. I am always welcomed with a great smile of Dr. Tupta and his assistant. Highly recommended Thanks to Dr. Mason Tupta

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this Place. I moved from Ga to Pittsburgh and I had extreme neck pain.I went to three other physical therapists. They all met with me for the first appointment then after that I only saw their assistants, which was so shocking to me. My previous dr recommend me to go to a dr who can do dry needling, I think mason is the only one who can do dry needling in Pittsburgh. Mason is very caring and knowledgeable. He is one of the only PTs in Pittsburg who will work with you without handing off your care to his assistants.

Fantastic experience: I am so impressed by Dr. Mason. When I injured my neck I feared I would never fully recover. I could barely move my head without intense pain. After 2.5 weeks the pain was worsening despite getting treatment from a chiropractor so I reached out to Direct Physiotherapy. At my very first appointment with Dr. Mason he was able to accurately diagnose and treat my neck injury. I came in with my head tilted to one side and he told me he would get it centered before I left and he did. Not only was I able to move my head to both sides again, I was also finally relieved from the intense pain after just one visit. Dr. Mason is highly knowledgeable, skilled, attentive, and personable. If you are looking for a PT, I recommend him without any hesitation!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend. Regular PT didn't resolve my pain and limp and I started going to Direct Physiotherapy. It was a very focused approach. Mason spent every minute of every appointment with me.... I never had to wait for him to finish with another patient. I don't think I've ever experienced this level of personal attention.... making sure I had the right technique on every excercise and stretch. He and Chrissy are very personable and I looked forward to my appointments.

Fantastic experience: Outstanding service. Dr. Tupta works hands on with you the entire session. Extremely knowledgeable; diagnoses and explains thoroughly what is going on. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: I’ve had chronic back pain for years due to scoliosis. I’ve tried everything, including multiple attempts at physical therapy, but I’ve never been able to see any improvement. Until I found Mason! My experience with him was excellent. He was hands-on with me each session, with no other overlapping clients, something I’ve never experienced with other therapists. The treatment plan, from the exercises I do at home to soft tissue treatment to dry needling, all have helped me see an improvement in my pain. I’ll definitely go back to him if I need help in the future and I would recommend him to anyone, especially those who might be struggling with chronic issues.

Fantastic experience: The most individual attention and care I have ever received from a PT. Professional and smart. Excellent clinician.

Fantastic experience: Been working with Mason for just about 6 - 8 weeks now. He's been the catalyst for curing chronic issues I've had with my neck, shoulders, and leg I've had for 10+ years. I highly recommend him if you want to invest in reaching your goals around reduction or elimination of chronic musculoskeletal issues. I finally feel like I've been able to dig myself out of the hole with the treatment he's provided. Also of you have persistent muscle knots, do the dry needling. It'll be uncomfortable potentially, but my lord does it help get you back to baseline. There are not many people who are certified for that around here so don't waste the opportunity for big relief from tight/tense/painful muscles!

Fantastic experience: To all the dancers and athletes who read this review - I can 100% say Mason is the therapist you want to trust! My body has been my tool to sustain my career; however, the everyday wear does take a toll. Although I am no longer performing ,there is no reason for me not to continue to have the flexibility and strength after years of overuse. Mason's knowledge, ability to identify the problem area, vary the treatments and give you the attention you deserve is real! This is not the place where you learn an exercise and then are left to complete the series on your own. He will give you the attention you deserve. I love the fact her uses many different techniques to treat the problem. He does the work on his end and I do the work at home. Success goes hand in hand.

Fantastic experience: I brought my 100 year old mother for relief from shoulder pain so significant that she could barely raise her arm and was using one hand to lift and move her sore arm. It had been getting worse over time for 2 years. Her doctor said she’d just have to live with it. What a difference Mason made! After just 10 visits she could completely raise her arm above her shoulder. To maintain her progress all she has to do is continue with her exercises once a day. She has continued them and now, 3 weeks later, her progress is easily holding She is so, so happy. My sister, a registered nurse, took my mother to one of her appointments once and was very impressed. Mason was thorough and checked constantly to ensure his actions were bringing results. I highly recommend the skills Dr. Mason Tupta offers.

Fantastic experience: Excellent service ! Dr. Mason is one of the best in his field !! Personal attention with at most care treatment was given. He patiently listened and clearly explained the cause of my knee injury ! I bounced back in no time !! Thanks a lot !

Fantastic experience: I recently had my left knee replaced and Mason provided me with out patient therapy beginning 2 weeks after surgery. After 19 sessions I am extremely satisfied with both the process and results achieved working at Direct Physiotherapy under the care of Mason Tupta. Mason designed a therapy program that with patient commitment enabled me to achieve results that exceeded my expectations. Mason is very knowledgeable and explains the logic behind each facet of the program and its importance in attaining the desired result. He creates a very positive environment. Each session was challenging but enjoyable. I would recommend Mason to anyone. I have had four significant orthopedic surgeries, unfortunately, and the physical therapy that I received from him was the best.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Tupta is a highly skilled and knowledgeable therapist. He helped me recovered from a low back injury, which has been bothered me for years. Moreoever, he also told me exactly what I should be doing after the visit to prevent the pain from coming back. The service is professional and tailored to my needs, and I felt listened to and valued. I would definitely recommand Dr. Tupta to anyone who needs PT work.

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough about how dedicated Dr. Mason Tupta is to getting the best results for each patient with his hands-on approach to Physical Therapy. I had tried other PT practices, but their assembly line approach was not helping my lower back / hip pain. I was amazed at how different Direct Physiotherapy was - the 1 on 1 treatments and the techniques not used by others made an enormous difference in relieving my pain and greatly increasing my range of motion. In addition to spinal manipulation and intense, targeted massage, he is one of very few PTs licensed to do “dry needling” - similar to but more effective than acupuncture - which really accelerated my recovery. I will never go anywhere else for PT and highly recommend this practice to anyone who is looking for long lasting relief from persistent pain.

Fantastic experience: If you are in need of Physical Therapy for an injury or Post Surgery rehab-Dr. Tupta is the best I have worked with over the past 25 years of nagging lower back issues. His knowledge of how the body should function is exceptional. His patience and willingness to help you recover are always in your best interest. You never feel rushed in his treatment room and every patient gets a plan designed specifically for their problems. No PT factory here. Plus he is just an overall great person.

Fantastic experience: I had hip and leg pain for over a year that flared up every time I sat still or laid down to sleep. Other physical therapy provided no relief. 9 months of Orthopedic care and three injections only provided minimal relief. After 5 sessions with Mason, I have had significant improvement and have been able to sleep through the night without waking up due to pain. Mason is professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about his patient. I highly recommend you give Dr. Mason Tupta a call.

Fantastic experience: I went to Dr. Tupta with shoulder pain that has persisted for 7 years. After 2 months of targeted exercises and treatment, he has relieved me of pain throughout daily activities and restored full range of motion. His knowledge and professional acumen are exactly what should be expected from a healthcare professional. I would recommend Dr. Tupta to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best experience I’ve had with a Physical Therapist. I had a nagging shoulder injury for months and Dr. Tupta was able to find the root of the problem on the first visit. Extremely educated in all aspects of rehab and he explained everything thoroughly so I could understand it. I HIGHLY recommend this practice! 10/10 !!!!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Tupta quickly diagnosed my calf injury and put me on a path to recovery. Not only did he help in my injury recovery, but he diagnosed the source to make sure it does not happen again. His knowledge and treatment is unrivaled. I would highly recommend him for any injury or problem area that needs physical therapy or treatment.

Fantastic experience: In early July of 2020 I began to have a sharp nagging pain from my right hip down my leg. I never had this before and it was so bad that I couldn't sleep and was walking around the house half the night trying to find relief. The next day a mailer came advertising Direct PhysioTherapy here in Mt. Lebanon, PA. I was immediately motivated to call and made an appointment for the day after. Mason was extremely helpful and began the therapy for my condition. He is very focused and I believe he actually physically exerted himself more than I had to as we tackled the problem together. About seven sessions later I went from I guess a six or seven out of ten on a pain scale to just discomfort. Mason gave me a regimen of exercises to do on a daily basis and told me to give it about seven to ten days. I am glad to say that I am back to normal and am greatly appreciative of the support and results of Mason's efforts. THANKS MASON! Rich Bogdanski Mt. Lebanon, PA

Fantastic experience: I worked with Mason on my hip flexor, which was painful and had caused me to stop playing tennis. Within a couple of months, I was able to play again. Having been to a number of Physical Therapists over the years, I was extremely impressed with his knowledge, focus and competence- someone who will go out of his way to help you. I can’t say enough about him.

Fantastic experience: Dr tupta has been able to get me moving again. After months on a rolling walker, his hard work Helped me to recently to get off my cane and to get some self confidence back into my life . I feel that I can get on with my life and able to do Activities that I never thought I could do again. I had almost given up and was feeling very sorry For myself . I can’t tell you how much he had helped me with his sessions and his comforting manor.

Fantastic experience: As a 60+ year old tennis player, I saw Mason for both right knee and left Achilles tendon injuries. As a retired health care professional with over 30 years of direct patient care experience, I can say Mason is among the very best of the many physical therapists I have had personal and professional relationships with over the years. He is an excellent listener and a skilled clinician with an outstanding skill set, both diagnostically and therapeutically. I not only felt that he cared about me, but I was surprised how quickly he was able restore me to functional health. Wish I could give him six stars!

Fantastic experience: I was experiencing severe pain in my Achilles due to a basketball related injury. I sought out Dr. Tupta's help with the recovery. Like many physiotherapists I have worked with in the past, he was very knowledgeable and understanding; but what really made him stand out was his dedication to helping me understand what went wrong, how we needed to work to heal it as well as prevent future injury. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Tupta is a skilled and empathetic professional physical therapist who provided me with an exercise routine that helped me reduce pain and improve strength and flexibility in my shoulders after a rotator injury. I am a very active, full time wheelchair user from a spinal cord injury so Dr. Tupta had to adapt some techniques to fit my situation. He asked really good questions about my spine injury and rotator injury and was able to put together a suitable exercise program that met my needs. Under his watchful eye I made significant improvements and was given a home exercise program to continue with after discharge. I recommend Physical Therapy by Dr. Tupta without reservation.

Fantastic experience: Put simply, Dr. Tupta is the best. He took me from full ACL reconstruction to playing an entire round of 18 holes of golf in less than four months. He is personable, down-to-earth, and most importantly - a true expert. His understanding and application of the most-effective rehabilitation processes is second to none. I recommend DirectPhysiotherapy to any type of athlete, person, or injury!

Fantastic experience: I went in there with major Sciatica pain some days not even able to walk or get out of bed. Doctor Tupta said to give him 4-6 weeks of 2 days a week of treatment and I would be fine. After 1-2 weeks of treatment here I felt 50 percent better and at 4 weeks I was completely back to normal. He was spot on. A friendly environment where you get the feel of the Doctor actually caring about your recovery. I would strongly recommend this place for anybody that needs any Physical Therapy.

Fantastic experience: I don’t know anyone who works harder and more sincerely to help patients enjoy the process of regaining their health and wellness. Mason’s knowledge is state-of-the-art and he customizes treatment for what will work best for you.

Fantastic experience: Having been to other physical therapies, I found more personalized planning and attention to detail at Direct PhysioTherapy. I had a full knee replacement and Dr, Tupta was tremendous, he is an excellent listener and carefully guided me throughout my rehab. My surgeon was impressed with my progress and allowed me to return to work in less than 2 months. I continue to follow the exercise program today knowing that doing my part is critical to allow for a complete recovery from this type of surgery. I strongly recommend them.

Fantastic experience: Mason works wonders. I came in with a shoulder injury that, to be honest, I delayed longer than I should have because I was scared of having to get surgery. The initial appointment was one that didn't make me feel nervous, he asks great questions, (to help really diagnose the root of the problem), while performing general stretching to associate the pain to the cause. Ultimately ended up having ac joint impingement, along with tendonitis in my rotator cuff. With 50% mobility in my shoulder; I was demoralized that i wouldn't be able to lift again regularly. In 7 appointments he guided me through techniques to work on by myself along with very personal therapy that helped me best my efforts to being about as much recovery as possible. Coming from having a hard time to raise my arm above my head, I am back to full mobility along with shoulder pressing my previous PR for repetitions. He is amazing and I highly recommend giving him a shot.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Tupta treated me when I had knee replacement surgery. He was very caring and professional. His personal attention to my treatment was excellent. I would highly recommend him for all of your physical therapy needs. A truly caring and professional individual. Kevin Smith

Fantastic experience: I came to Mason for a terrible pain in my neck. I played baseball in college and professionally and had never felt a pain like this. Within seconds, Mason was able to identify the source of the pain, which ended up originating in my ribs. He didn’t just treat the problem, he explained to me what was going on and gave me some home remedies to do to keep it from coming back. I’ve dealt with numerous professional athletic trainers and team doctors and Mason’s knowledge and skill set matched theirs. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I just finished 8 sessions of physical therapy with Dr Tupta. It was truly the best experience I have ever had with a physical therapist. I had a back fusion and hip replacementin the last two years,and while the surgeries were successful, my muscles didn't do as well and I have stiffness and pain,so much so that I developed a limp. Mason worked with me, and I'm happy to say I'm doing a lot better. He also developed a home program for me to continue my exercises. He isextremely knowledgeable,and attentive and also very patient. I can recommend him completely, and will definitely go back to him if I need to! Lol )

Fantastic experience: I had debilitating lower back pain since November of 2016. I had seen 2 different PT groups and a chiropractor and was unable to find relief or someone to explain what was wrong with me. I started seeing Dr. Tupta and he was able to identify a program he thought would help me. Most days I am not pain free and my quality of life has for the most part been restored. I would recommend him to anyone in the area who is frustrated with unsuccessful care in the past

Fantastic experience: I had a lot of pain in my neck and shoulder. After receiving treatments from Mason. Never thought going to a to physical therapist for my pain. Mason did a amazing job, very knowledgeable, took his time with me and answer all my question .I have been referring my clients to him.

Fantastic experience: I worked with Dr. Tupta after tearing my pec. He worked with me one on one to get me healed as quickly as possible. I am happy to say I have returned to full strength and function. The staff is professional and personable. I would definitely seek treatment here for any future injuries.

Fantastic experience: I sought treatment from Mason for my ankle and foot in preparation for an Ultra Eunning event. Mason greatly helped to reduce my pain so that I could compete in my 100 miles race. I would highly recommend Mason to anyone for a variety of sports related injuries.
