Harbor Physical Therapy

Fantastic experience: I really enjoyed my time at HPT. The women spent so much time getting to know me and to understand where my injuries were coming from and how best to help me. I appreciated how each therapist's techniques pushed me in a different way and challenged my strength and development. In particular, I loved Emily's positive attitude and uplifting approach to my recovery. The dry needling was an unexpected bonus and I think was really where my recovery turned the corner. As well, her focus on strengthening AND hands-on massage and manipulation was a great combination that seemed to work for me. Thank you guys, again and again, for all you did for me.

Fantastic experience: I attended PT at Harbor Physical Therapy for about 2 months due to upper back/shoulder pain. My therapist, Emily Spinelli, was amazing! She was very friendly and knowledgeable. An added plus of having Emily was that she performed dry needling on my back and it really made a lasting impact. I am now completely pain free and no longer attending PT! I highly recommend Harbor Physical Therapy to anyone in the Greater Baltimore Area.

Fantastic experience: I have had an excellent experience at Harbor Physical Therapy. I separated the AC joint in my shoulder playing rugby almost a year ago and thought the injury had healed properly. Months after the injury I was having issues lifting weights, sleeping on my side and general soreness. I finally decided I needed to see a physical therapist. When I was screening companies I wanted a place that had fully licensed DPTs, was close to Federal Hill and had a reputation for a friendly and knowledgeable staff. I have been at HPT for over 2 months now and I'm starting to lift and sleep with the same level of comfort as I had before the injury. I have worked primarily with Amanda and Emily, both have been incredibly friendly and do a good job explaining the importance of each exercise. Emily really went above and beyond as she was continually researching new exercises, building equipment specifically geared towards my injury and creating effective, detailed workouts plans for me. As a recovering athlete, I highly recommend the therapists at HPT. They are all very understanding and pleasant to be around. The administrative staff was also very nice and the parking was free. Thank you guys!

Fantastic experience: I came in for physical therapy for 6 weeks for knee pain - and I had never done any kind of PT before in my life, but Emily was extremely recommended by a friend, so I knew I would be in good hands getting evaluated by her. Physical therapy with Dr. Emily Spinelli was soo much fun - it was extremely enjoyable, challenging, and she truly listened to all my concerns. All the staff at Harbor Physical Therapy always made me feel soo welcomed and comfortable. I'm actually really going to miss my weekly sessions there because of how wonderful it is getting to work with and see their staff all the time!

Fantastic experience: I'm so glad I found Harbor Physical Therapy when I needed rehab for a severely sprained ankle. I live and work downtown so the location was convenient to both my home and office. Dr. Amanda and her staff were always professional and courteous and they almost always were able to fit me into the schedule at the time most convenient for me. And though Emily made me work until I broke into a sweat, she got me running and jumping again and I feel stronger than ever.

Fantastic experience: I first came to harbor physical therapy for a knee injury that no one could quite figure out prior to coming to harbor PT. I've worked with all the wonderful PTs- Nelson, both Amanda's and the last few months with Emily, as well as the PT aide Sam. I recommend them all as they are all excellent. Emily has truly gone above and beyond in figuring out what was causing my knee pain of over 6 months. Together we tried strengthening my gluts and hips, massage, various strengthening and stretches, and Emily never once gave up. Which I am very thankful for. Emily then added dry needling to my gluts to help release possible trigger points that we're causing my knee pain. I am in healthcare but did not know much about dry needling prior to trying it. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT and Emily's skills. After a few weeks of dry needling in combo with strengthening the pain finally began to subside- and it stuck! The relief and joy I feel in being able to slowing increase my activity to biking, using the elliptical, walking, and yoga is beyond words. I am so thankful for Emily and all of the amazing staff at Harbor PT for the support and determination they gave to me. You guys rock! I will always appreciate each of you. -Sophia

Fantastic experience: I love Harbor Physical Therapy! David and Emily have completely turned my life around. I wasn't able to walk more than five minutes without pain, and now I'm almost running again! David is a gentle and experienced professional who is always finding new ways to maintain my strength. Emily's dry needling technique is something seriously magic! I would suggest to all who are open to the experience. Within two days after my first dry needling session, I could walk ten times longer than I had before! Friendly staff, nice atmosphere, and results.

Fantastic experience: I have had the best experience at harbor point. Emily and the team have helped me work through an injury that I thought would be the end of my distance running. I just completed my first half marathon without pain which is huge but this hasn't happened in the last 4.5 years! I have been to other physical therapists and they had not been able to help like Emily has. She was so tentative and helpful for the past 7 months. I really felt supported and cared about from the whole team :) I am so so thankful to have met her and been able to receive services with this group. Would recommend to anyone!

Fantastic experience: I had such an amazing experience with Harbor Physical Therapy. Emily Spinelli was great to work with, she took time to find my problems areas and made sure I was on the write track in my recovery. It seemed like there was a new technique she used with every visit. After manual therapy techniques were exhausted, she incorporated "dry needling" as part of the total therapeutic picture. She's an expert in the PT field and highly recommend asking for her when you need some help.

Fantastic experience: I had the BEST experience at Harbor Physical Therapy! I came in with a hip/hamstring problem due to instability and poor running form and after 4 months of working with Emily I am good as new. After being in almost constant pain for months, I'm so happy to be back to my usual workout schedule and looking for fall races! I loved working with Emily every week. She was always so positive and really cared about my progress. Seeing the same therapist every week really made all the difference. Emily could make adjustments to my workouts in a way that targeted my specific concerns. She was so invested in my success and was willing to help me in any way she could. I highly recommend Harbor Physical Therapy thanks to my experience with the entirety of the staff. They were so helpful, their facility is well maintained, and they always made me feel special. I'm almost sad to say that I won't be able to see Emily every week! But it's thanks to her care and expertise that I am back to my usual training schedule. For that I am truly grateful.

Fantastic experience: Harbor Physical Therapy is the best physical therapy office that I have ever visited. I had a problem with my hips that the physical therapy doctor was able to fix really quickly. They taught me physical therapy exercises to do at home to keep my hips good forever. The other staff was very friendly and helpful and the office was extremely clean with all new equipment. I would definitely recommend Harbor Physical Therapy.

Fantastic experience: I had a lower body injury that needed immediate attention and Harbor Physical Therapy was quick to get me in and work on relieving my pain. They were super professional and courteous and within a few appointments, my injury subsided thanks to their experienced, kind and cheerful PT staff. I am so glad I called!

Fantastic experience: I’ve really enjoyed this pt clinic. I’ve worked well with my pt. She understands my needs and abilities and I’ve been making progress. The rest of the staff are great, too. Very congenial and good at their jobs. I’ve seen other patients from all ages and backgrounds. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I Absolutely love Emily at Harbor Physical Therapy she was such a Beautiful Soul and a pleasure to see each time for my visit I'm gonna miss her for the short time I knew her, we had very good conversations and I always left feeling better each time, I recommend Emily to anyone she is awesome! Also Ken was a pleasure as well very customer service oriented and Hospitable Everytime ❤️❤️ I will miss you guys.

Fantastic experience: They have the best therapist. They are very kind, great listeners, and straightforward. This only my second time here and I love this place. I actually feel a difference in body.

Fantastic experience: The team at Harbor Physical Therapy is top notch! They took a thoughtful approach to my treatment and were instrumental in my recovery. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Horn was caring about my rehab process and made it a generally fun and enjoyable experience. She was knowledgeable and thought of ways to keep me engaged in every appointment

Fantastic experience: After a bout with pneumonia and covid, I found my strength and stamina seriously depleted. Concerned that working with a traditional personal trainer might not be the best starting point for regaining my health, I began looking for an alternative. Harbor Physical Therapy (HPT) was recommended to me as an option that I should look into. I have been working with Emilee, a Physical Therapist at HPT for the last 2+ months and can say without hesitation her approach as my Trainer has been just what I needed. Emilee has created a program that has helped me safely get stronger and allowed me to start getting back to the things I enjoy doing.

Fantastic experience: In 2018 I had a total knee replacement and went to see Amanda at Harbor Physical Therapy. Being a tennis pro for 30 years requires staying in top form if you want to be successful. So after speaking with her about my recovery and how I came back from my first replacement in 3 weeks, I knew I had to go to HPT. Well Amanda had me back on the court in 15 days and running without any restrictions in 3 months. Her staff are professionals who know what atheletes need in order to stay on top of their game and are dedicated to keep you there. Thank you Harbor Physical for all you did for me.

Fantastic experience: Harbor Physical Therapy is a great place to get well! The therapists are highly qualified and caring, under the capable direction of Amanda Macht, DPT. I highly recommend Harbor Physical Therapy!

Fantastic experience: The physical therapist was very professional, and spent a lot of time with me. The office is well run and I was able to easily get an appointment. I would highly recommend this physical therapy place to anyone who needs one.

Fantastic experience: This place has it all, both excellent staff and service! I couldn't have picked a better place to start physical therapy for my lower back issues than here and Dr. Taylor was the perfect therapist! Thank you guys for everything and I look forward to seeing you again soon! I highly recommend Harbor Physical Therapy and guarantee you won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: Harbor PT is the best of the best!! They gave me a great exercise plan to help my lower back issue. They’re so professional and really care about their patients!

Fantastic experience: Harbor Physical Therapy provides exceptional care to improve your physical health. The staff are knowledgeable, personable and genuinely want you to incrementally feel better after every visit. They made it easy to schedule appointments and sent frequent reminders. I highly recommend HPT!

Fantastic experience: I visited Harbor Physical Therapy after trying elsewhere, and I sincerely wish I had found them sooner to ease the pain I had been living with. Rather than giving me exercises and running from one patient to another, they were very good listeners, very hands-on, and, noticed immediately that the sciatica I had been suffering with also involved a knot in a muscle, which was treated with a multifaceted approach, involving heat, ultrasound, manual therapy and some stretching and exercise. The physical therapists were highly skilled and very experienced and worked directly with their patient during the visit, not running from one patient to another like other places I had been.. The facility is clean and comfortable, and the parking is indoor and free-with no stairs, elevators or long walks, which was much appreciated when I arrived in pain..

Fantastic experience: I have had physical therapy at Harbor Physical Therapy for post surgery knee replacement and issues related to spinal stenosis. My therapist, Scott, provided exercises and encouragement that kept me going. After therapy, I was able to return to the gym with additional exercises that have made me much stronger than before. The people at Harbor Physical Therapy provide friendly professional care that encourages a patient to do his or her best.

Fantastic experience: Harbor Physical Therapy makes PT enjoyable! I worked with Taylor Ryan and had the best experience. She was friendly and so positive which creates a great atmosphere for recovery. Further, she is very knowledgeable and was able to answer any questions I had regarding the healing process and some aches and pains I had while healing. I would recommend Harbor PT and Taylor to everybody!

Fantastic experience: Taylor was an excellent physical therapist, very knowledgeable, and determined to see progress in her patients! I appreciated how considerate and attentive she was in my short time there. She really puts a lot of effort into her job, and you can tell she loves what she does. I highly recommend seeing her!

Fantastic experience: The staff is very friendly! I had Scott as my PT and he was a great physical therapist. Very knowledgeable and he tailored the therapy plan based upon my progress and current symptoms. I would recommend Harbor Physical Therapy to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Scott is great! He is knowledgeable , informative, caring and a good listener. I came in with pain in my shoulders and arms. Scott worked with me and came up with an exercise plan which greatly reduced the pain. Thank you so much for your patience while working with me and I’m still doing the exercises periodically! I would recommend Scott and Harbor Physical Therapy any day!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Ryan was extremely wonderful, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a physical therapist to take care of them. This was my first time doing physical therapy due to a cartilage issue in my knee. Dr. Ryan was extremely welcoming, friendly, and informed about what to do to make my knee feel better. She was very communicative about the process as well, and I always knew what was happening and why. She was also very accommodating of my schedule as a graduate student. I unfortunately only got to spend my summer with the Dr. Ryan as I was only in the DMV area for a summer internship, but when I left the office for the last time, she sent me off with a detailed home care plan and let me know that I could reach out to her with any questions.

Fantastic experience: My shoulder surgery was in early December 2020. My condition was for a frozen shoulder, so my PT started the day after surgery. The guidance and knowledge of the Physical Therapy staff is excellent. I feel my recovery was immensely improved along with my quality of life by choosing Harbor Physical Therapy. Ask for Scott if you’re looking for a great young therapist with the technical knowledge and disposition to match. I still can’t believe the turn around in 10 weeks time.

Fantastic experience: Harbor Physical Therapy is amazing! It's a wonderful practice with kind, competent, and compassionate caregivers. I had some very serious neck and shoulder pain that they were able to help fix in no time. They motivated me to work on my exercises at home, too, which really made a difference. I highly recommend Harbor Physical Therapy!

Fantastic experience: Taylor is the real deal. This was my first time ever doing physical therapy. We built a regiment to help me heal within two months and with her expertise, I have achieved all of our goals. She is a great physical therapist and I wish her all the best in what will be a very successful career.

Fantastic experience: My therapist Scott was very informative and knowledgeable about my injury and the recovery process. He was always willing to adjust my treatment when needed. My shoulder mobility is back to 100% of what it was pre Injury. I would recommend harbor PT and specifically Scott to anyone in need of physical therapy.

Fantastic experience: I had an awesome experience with Harbor Physical Therapy. I had been experiencing months of achilles tendon pain and had multiple visits with pediatrists to no avail. Since my first appointment at Harbor Physical Therapy, Physical Therapist Scott Newberry put me on a workout plan and I immediately began to feel results. I now feel no pain at all and I give all credit to this amazing office.

Fantastic experience: My trainer, Taylor, was knowledgeable and thorough in her approach to helping me get back to my full range of motion and activity. Above all, she was sweet, and very kind. The staff at Harbour Physical Therapy must be commended too for their friendly service and for always accommodating my scheduling and payment needs.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Harbor Physical Therapy! HPT has been nothing but kind, caring and attentive to my injury! I started coming to HPT a couple months ago to rehab a sprained ankle and let me just say it has never felt better!! The staff is extremely friendly and professional, I worked with both Dr. Chloe and Dr. Dave and both therapists were awesome. I do appreciate the precautions they have been taking for all patients and staff due to COVID-19 as well. I will be recommending this facility to my friends and family :)

Fantastic experience: Harbor PT did a wonderful job helping me during COVID with my pain. Their staff was friendly and professional. They were very flexible on scheduling appointments and made sure to keep the office safe and clean to prevent any germs from spreading. I would highly recommend them for PT and dry needling.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this clinic. The staff are welcoming and attentive, and, this being 2020, I appreciated the safety precautions that were in place. Insurance and co-pays were stress-free. My PT, Scott, was very friendly and made sessions fun. I looked forward to going! Scott was also very knowledgeable and creative in designing exercises to pinpoint specific muscle groups. I'm surprised at how quickly my condition improved.

Fantastic experience: Chloe is so awesome! She would revaluate frequencies and types of exercises based on my progress. I began having issues with a disc in my neck back in late April. As of this week, I am finally 100% pain free. All around friendly staff who has also taken the pandemic with the utmost seriousness. I don’t have a single negative thing to say about Harbor PT!!

Fantastic experience: I broke my ankle in June as a result of remote-school PE (it's a long story). It was taking forever to heal, with lots of pain in the ankle and in my knee so I made an appointment in September for Physical Therapy. After just 2 visits at Harbor PT with Dr. Newberry, my pain was vastly improved and after 4 visits I was able to start doing some jumps and hops with less and less pain. Harbor PT takes safety seriously, by spacing out clients and ensuring masks and handwashing. But also by taking a 'whole person' approach to PT so that all parts of the body are working well. I am actually stronger than I was before my injury, and am starting to run again (after a 10 year hiatus!). I've been telling everyone about this service. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: My experience with Harbor Physical Therapy was Excellent professional and educational oh yeah and challenging. I entered treatment in the beginning of the corona shut down and continued from home via FaceTime and found both to be equally satisfying along with engaging I might add on a personal level home preferred except for massage heat treatments and personal examination. I had the privilege of having Chloe she is exceptional in all area of Physical Therapy and knowledgeable ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: Ever since I broke my tibia plateau, I've dealt with a number of at-home, outpatient and institutional Physical Therapy establishments. And the folks at Harbor Physical Therapy have by far offered me the most courteous and professional therapeutic experience of any establishment. The ladies working at the front desk are welcoming, cheerful and quick to offer patients parking validation (indoor parking is free) and the two Therapists I've worked with have been appropriately inquisitive, highly knowledgable and more than eager to share a litany of useful advice and take-home therapy regiments. I highly recommend the services of Harbor Physical Therapy for anyone requiring serious short or long-term physical therapy. In closing, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all those working at Harbor Physical Therapy for helping me deal with one of the most difficult and stressful challenges of my life. Keep up the good work. S. B.

Fantastic experience: E. is creative, engaging, thoughtful, and energetic. The team of great professionals in the office worked with me up to three times a week, and then two times a week to help me work from an old sports injury. It was clear that E. knew what she wanted. The needling treatment also helped expedite the recovery process. She was mindful of what exercises and motions I try, and updated my at-home routines based on my progress. Overall I trust E. and her professional judgment, expertise, and his good humor. Anyone that is looking for physical therapy in downtown Baltimore should visit.

Fantastic experience: After dealing with chronic knee pain for almost a year I was connected to Harbor PT through a Charm City Run clinic. Emily, Dave, & Sam became life savers for me this past spring. My program was individually catered & ended up feeling more like personal training by the end than physical therapy. With their help I have been able to run in & complete 4 races with minimal to no pain. I set the goal with Emily early on to run in the Baltimore half in October this year. Even post discharge I was given a game plan how to continue to work on my own. Everyone in the office was always super friendly & you could tell that these people genuinely care about each and every patient, wanting to see them succeed.

Fantastic experience: I spent about three months working with Emily at Harbor Physical Therapy after suffering a shoulder injury (from a vaccination, of all things). The entire experience (minus the injury itself) was excellent. Administratively, they were extremely well organized, made payments simple, sent friendly appointment reminders, and were always on time. I don’t think I ever waited more than a minute for my appointment to start. Emily was fantastic. I was only her second SIRVA (Shoulder Injury Resulting from Vaccination Administration) patient, but she worked with me and did some additional research on the topic to try and find some solutions. She is friendly, personable, and clearly cares very much about her patients and their outcomes. After three months I’d say I’ve recovered 99%, and to a significant degree I attribute that to Emily and the folks at Harbor Physical Therapy. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: As a recreational runner, I have had the need for a few trips to PT over the years. Without reservation, Emily S. at Harbor Physical Therapy is the best therapist I have encountered. She diagnosed my injury quickly and accurately and gave me a substantial program for recovery. She was thoughtful, attentive, listened to my needs, and made sure that the plan was one that would work - - and it did. Everyone at HPT is warm, friendly and very professional. I recommend HPT highly.

Fantastic experience: After trying many options to help my injury, Harbor Physical Therapy ended up being exactly what I needed! They accommodated early hours, quickly diagnosed my injury and provided me with excellent care. After dealing with an injury for almost half a year, Emily was able to help me fully recover and get back into my typical workout routine within a few months. Emily is personable, caring and motivated to help you feel better. Overall, the HPT staff were professional, organized and very friendly. Happy to have found them and would recommend them to anyone looking for Physical Therapy!

Fantastic experience: Harbor Physical Therapy is my go-to for anything that is keeping me from enjoying all of the activities I love to do. I have always had an active lifestyle and this has taken a toll--I've injured my knees, shoulder, back, and I even managed to break my neck in a racing car crash in 2000. None of this has stopped me, but I rely on Amanda and her team at HPT to help me manage any recurrence or flare-ups. I turned fifty last summer, but thanks to HPT I will be out for a 140-mile bike ride next month. I couldn't do that without the great care I have gotten along the way. The team at Harbor Physical Therapy takes the time needed to understand the injury and develop a smart plan for recovery. Their expanded location is convenient, and they are always ready for me when I arrive with no waiting. I have recommended lots of friends and colleagues. Why suffer with an injury that's not improving? Get it sorted out--you'll be glad you did.
