Physical Therapy at St. Luke's - Illicks Mill

Fantastic experience: A big thank you to Mitchell Chooi and the staff at Physical Therapy at St. Luke’s Illick’s Mill. My primary care doctor referred me for lower back pain issue (sacroiliitis). Mitchell put a PT plan in place for me including exercises I can do at home. I am now pain free and finished with the in office PT but I am continuing my home exercise. I highly recommend Mitchell and the staff at PT at St. Luke’s Illick’s Mill. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Mitchell Chooi to anyone going to this physical therapy location! He is tough. He helps you push through the therapy, but not to make you quit. He is super understanding and kind as well. If you’re looking for a physical therapist I highly recommend going to Mitchell for your needs!

Fantastic experience: Had a great experience at Physical Therapy at St. Lukes - Illick's Mill. Kevin is very knowledgeable and helpful. Definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: The office is very clean, staff is friendly. Amanda is so caring and such a nice therapist.

Fantastic experience: Saw Mitchell Chooi for extreme pain in my arm and neck and he showed so much patience and was very professional. Very pleased with this facility and with Mitchell.

Fantastic experience: I could barely move my right arm when my doctor sent me to St Luke’s Illick’s Mill PT and I met Amanda Russo. Amanda cares and understands that we all have a life outside of going to PT—she gave me home exercises and worked with me to make working on my arm enjoyable. I’m happy to say that in a little more than 2 months I’m back to normal! I would recommend Amanda to everyone.

Fantastic experience: I went to St Luke's for a partially torn rotator cuff tendon. I cannot say enough great things about my therapist or the staff there. I was assigned, primarily, to Kevin Steinberger. Prior to therapy, I was experiencing frequent shoulder pain and excruciating partial dislocations. He evaluated me, and set up a dynamic, highly effective plan. His training eliminated my shoulder pain and stabilized the joint, which also eliminated the partial dislocations. Thanks to him, I was able to return to my normal work-outs, pain free and surgery free. During my treatment, I had the pleasure of working with several other therapists at St. Luke's, as well. Each was more than professional and personable. They were all a pleasure to work with. The environment is highly positive. Everyone in the staff, from the therapists to the team at the desk, is cheerful and helpful, so much so, that I will actually miss going there. A big "Thank You" to Kevin and everyone on the team!

Fantastic experience: Mike Mathis is the guy! Have recommended him to coworkers. All have been pleased with results. This is the place to go for professional, top therapy with lotsa smiles.

Fantastic experience: Mitchell is outstanding. He really cares and moves me out of my comfort zone.

Fantastic experience: my expirence here was amazing. I had physical therapy for both of my knees here for three months and i have nothing but postive things to say. When you first walk in there’s always a welcoming smile. and the physical therapists are nothing short of awesome. My specific physical therapist, sherif was constantly challenging me keep going and keep strengthening myself. he helped me correct form, gave exercises and advice for at the gym and at home, and importantly he listened. the physical therapists here at illicks mill listen. to your pain, your life, (and in my case when i complained everytime he braught over a heavy weight) and they work with you to help improve on everything. if you do end up going here also say hi to the goat stuffed animal named nimbus. he sits on a windowsill infront of the treadmills

Fantastic experience: Sherif and the staff here were awesome! Definitely would recommend!

Fantastic experience: I had an ankle injury back in May, 2023. My podiatry diagnoses a tear of the ligaments and advised Physical Therapy will help. I'm so glad that went to St Lukes Physical Therapy on Illicks Mill Rd, I met Amanda, who really help me a lot, pain went away and now feel 100% better, I'm able to move my foot better, sleep well because that was a big problem at the beginning. Thank you so much Amanda for all your help in this time.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Kevin Steinberger was able to pinpoint exactly what exercises my shoulder needed in order to get it back to normal and elevate the pain I was having.

Fantastic experience: Had the pleasure of working with Shariff and his student, Connor, at St. Luke's- Illick's Mill as I was recovering from a shin injury. The injury was due to marathon training and overuse. Shariff was very knowledgeable, personable, and listened to all my feedback throughout the sessions. He created custom strength exercise routines to fix/focus on my areas of weakness. I am now back training at 100% and have no residual issues/pain. After our PT sessions wrapped up, Shariff made it a point to make himself available for questions and help if anything were to come up in the future. Quick shout out to Justin at the Front Desk. Always positive, polite, and helpful!

Fantastic experience: I was diagnosed as having a small tear in rotator cuff. I work physically everyday and need to have strength in my arms so lifting anything overhead was sometimes painful. I really thought I was going to need surgery. So before any surgery they started me out doing physical therapy. That's when I met Amanda at the St Luke's Illicks Mill Road Physical Therapy facility . She is very knowledgeable and professional. Amanda was able to get me going on a plan to strengthen my shoulder. Well today I have finished my physical therapy and the results are great! I do not need surgery, my shoulder is much stronger than before and I am without pain. I highly recommend going to the St Luke's Illicks Mill Road facility and sign up with them for any physical therapy and please see Amanda she will take very good care of you!

Fantastic experience: Overall great experience here, never had to wait long to be seen, front desk staff were friendly and quick, and my physical therapist (Mike) made sure to explain everything well and helped my shoulder immensely.

Fantastic experience: I have arthritis in my shoulder, I had discounted physical therapy for this affliction and put up with it since the end of February . Big Mistake, should have went to therapy sooner. I've been going for two+months now and Amanda listened, came up with new exercises every week {and I did the exercises at home} checked on my progress weekly and now I am able to go back into the gym and start slowly working out. Slight pain, but nothing like I had before. Amanda was knowledgeable and very professional and made the exercises seem easy.

Fantastic experience: Went to PT here for 4 months to get my shoulder in shape to be able to play sports again. Worked with Amanda mostly, who was fantastic. Always came up with new exercises that challenged me and got me closer to my goal. Everyone at this location was always very nice and friendly and got to know you on a personal level. I think I may miss going to PT.

Fantastic experience: Thomas has been my therapist for over a year now and I can say he is most definitely great at his job and cares about his patients. Has a great personality and knows the patients needs. I highly recommend St. Luke’s physical therapy. Also, their receptionist Josh has great customer service skills and always finds ways to help you and accommodate to your scheduling needs.

Fantastic experience: I would give more stars if I could! I went to physical therapy for pain in my back that made things like sitting, driving, walking, and even sleeping uncomfortable. The staff is amazing - everyone is friendly and helpful! I worked with Kevin and Amanda and they are both rockstars! Thank you so much! I'm feeling so much better and am excited for a summer free of pain and discomfort! **Bonus points for playing excellent music.

Fantastic experience: My last day of physical therapy was today with Amanda. I couldn’t say more about the facility and also the therapy I received! , beginning with my preop vist pre total knee surgery till my last visit today. Amanda, you are the best! Thanks for all your help and getting me on my way to recovery!!!

Fantastic experience: Amanda Derea is the perfect physical therapist I have ever had beyond reproach.Her knowledge of the body,personable attitude,mannerism, and overall professionalism make’s every visit awesome. Thank you physical therapy St.Lukes Bethlehem, Illicks Mill Rd. for hiring such a awesome employee( Ms. Amanda Derea).

Fantastic experience: Absolutely the best physical therapy in the valley. I had a very bad hip injury the resulted in 30+ day hospital stay. I was sent to another therapy location. I didn’t feel like they were really trying to help me. It was just a cookie cutter routine. I was flip flopped between numerous therapists. I had enough and asked to go to a different location. I’m so happy I did because the therapists here are the absolute best. They tailored my workout to my needs I really felt like they were giving there all to help me recover. Now after 15 months of therapy I’m finally ready to move on. If you’re not sure we’re to go for PT in Bethlehem this is the best hands down.

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Sherif. He keeps you in high spirits while working hard to help you heal. He genuinely seems to care about your progress, and will do everything he can to elevate your treatment each session. You can really tell he stays up-to-date on the latest literature. Compared to other PT's I've had, he has a unique collection of exercises he uses pretty creatively. This location has a super friendly and efficient front desk. I had a great experience.

Fantastic experience: This was a very great place, and I was very happy with my therapist, Sherif Elnaggar! I like the exercises that helped me with my neck, hip, and knee. Very professional environment!

Fantastic experience: Having been through physical therapy a few times in my life I can honestly say this was the best experience I've had. My therapist, Sherif, was fantastic and really listened to what I had to say. Everyone here is very friendly, too, including the desk staff. There's a lot of choices in the area for PT so I'm glad I chose this location.

Fantastic experience: Kevin and the team were supportive, worked with my schedule and got me back after meniscus surgery. Can't say enough good things.

Fantastic experience: Don't underestimate the power of physical therapy, and this is your go-to place. I was experiencing daily headaches unlike anything I'd had before. After 5 months, 3 different family doctors, and 2 specialists, Kevin at this practice was by far the biggest help in my case. He was confident he could help me from the very beginning which helped put me at ease, and was always knowledgable and transparent in any questions I had. Even when he wasn't available for my appointment, every other physical therapist I worked with at this practice still gave me close attention and offered different exercises and advice on how to help. The best part is that I now feel I can manage the pain on my own (and without any prescriptions/drugs). I highly recommend this practice and can not thank everyone there enough for their kind and thorough help.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend St. Luke’s physical therapy on Illiks Mill Road specifically! I have been a patient at this location on five different occasions over the last several years. This last visit was working with PT Colin McLaughlin for knee therapy. I was here to work a plan to help strengthen my hips and legs to support my knees. I have high accolades for my patient relationship with PT, Colin! He was wonderful. Listened attentively, has a great sense of humor, comes with a lot of skill and creativity, and learned what kind of exercise I liked. We co-created a plan that would be sustainable at home. Today is my discharge and we just completed reviewing my home routine. It is creative fun and plays to my love of dance and will support me in continuing to progress and be challenged for sustainability, strength, flexibility and coordination. I cannot say enough about this great team here.!!!

Fantastic experience: My PT was Colin McLaughlin, I had an amazing experience with Colin,I had broken my left ankle in 3 places. He talked with me and understood where I needed help. I never understood how PT works, it’s amazing. I never thought I’d be able to walk as well as I do. I’d like to say that everyone I met at the Illicks Mill office was so very nice. They all seems like they all got along together. Thanks again Mary Jane Kalnas.

Fantastic experience: Sherif, Kirk, and Colin at the Illicks Mill location have all been WONDERFUL. Professional, kind, and very easy to work with, and they have helped me feel considerably better than I felt prior to coming to them. I would highly recommend Physical Therapy at St. Luke's for any ailment you have.

Fantastic experience: I started my PT due to a chronic shoulder pain and some lower back pain. Sherif Elnaggar helped me recover and, most importantly, taught me a lot of exercises that I can do home to improve my mobility, posture and pain recovery. Now my pain is almost entirely gone and I am able to pay attention to the signs my body gives me in order to address small discomforts by my own, which significantly improved my life quality, sleeping and ability to exercise at high intensity. I highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Overall this is a great facility with great people. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Sherif has been helping me with a variety of orthopedic issues since 2019 and with his guidance, expertise and patience I've been able to resume an active lifestyle, fitness center workouts, long walks, golf and more. SLUHN is very fortunate to have Sherif among its PT staff and he is my "go to" guy at Illicks Mill.

Fantastic experience: Amanda has been an amazing physical therapist. Her energetic attitude is contagious and helps me get through the painful aspect of physical therapy.

Fantastic experience: Am being treated for a concussion that I received in July that all of my doctor's dropped the ball on. They are really nice and professional and they automatically take issues like my sensitivity to light and sound into consideration. I would highly recommend.
