Access Physical Therapy & Wellness (formerly Hands On Healing Physical Therapy)

Fantastic experience: After a year of suffering with neck pain, I decided to try a new physical therapist. A chiropractor, spine doctor, epidural, and physical therapy, were minimally addressing my pain and balance issues that may be related to the osteoarthritis in my neck. After 16 appointments with Sara, my range of motion is improved and my pain is minimal. Balance has improved, and I've learned enough to keep progressing. I highly recommend Access Physical Therapy and their professional, caring staff.

Fantastic experience: I am a leukemia patient who has spent 46 days in a hospital bed. Upon discharge from the hospital, I found that I was suffering from severe neuropathy and was unable to walk. I had used the Therapy Center for a brief time in the past. I went back and the rest is history. The staff (everyone) is friendly and accommodating, and most importantly very competent. My neuropathy is all but gone and after a couple of weeks of therapy I am back to walking 2 miles a day, with the goal of walking 4 miles as it was my habit in the past ten years. Needless to say, Hand-on-Healing is a class act and I recommend their services without any reservations.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely outstanding level of care. The team uses actual hands on work to effect healing and devote the entire appointment to personal attention. Their techniques are exactly what I needed and it has worked beautifully. I am relieved of a chronic pain problem and my active lifestyle is back on track. I also learned various methods for maintenance and also have a better understanding of body dynamics. Thank you to the entire team of therapists and friendly staff,

Fantastic experience: I appreciate that my therapist had the trained tenacity and partnership to get to the root of a biomechanics problem. She didn't just go through an insurance-delegated protocol; rather she listened with both her ears and hands. Ultimately I was given the series of exercises to carry on my own self-healing.

Fantastic experience: Do you know of any other PT center that will give an uninterrupted 40 minute 1 - 1 time block to a client? I've been to many other places where Physical therapists and Physical Therapist Assistants work with multiple clients at the same time. I truly like the individualized specific attention on my chronic pain, recognizing the time it takes to properly understand what's happening with my muscles and joints, and the most effective approaches to ease my pain and discomfort. The staff is knowledgeable, helpful, and truly understanding -- they helped me recover from shoulder surgery. And I made my husband a convert -- he is now recovering from chronic back pain. I highly recommend this wonderful place.

Fantastic experience: Hands on Healing has literally given me my life back!! After being seriously injured in an auto accident, I received Physical and Vestibular Therapy at three different providers without much relief. My neurologist referred me to HOH and my symptoms and pain relief greatly improved. I had shoulder surgery with serious complications, and after months of Physical Therapy at HOH my shoulder is now 99% back to normal. I continue with Vestibular Therapy and my therapists are very supportive and understanding of this difficult process. I have improved greatly with my dizziness and balance issues, and with continued therapy I hope to make more progress. I can't praise HOH and their caring therapists enough, for greatly improving my quality of life.

Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful experience. I have tried other PT's places only to be a "number" Hands on Healing Allentown gives you 1to1 attention, teaches you what to do at home and most of all the whole staff are friendly and make you feel important. The receptionists greet you by name and with a smile, also, their appointments run on time! If I have to go back to PT, I will definitely go back there! Marie

Fantastic experience: Outstanding care, convenient location, attention to detail as far as treatment goes and highly professional staff and therapists. I have been a patient here for years on and off and physical therapy couldn't be better!

Fantastic experience: Krishna was an awesome therapist. I had doubts that PT would help my back and hip pain but I can truly say my pain is all gone thanks to Krishna. She really knows her stuff.

Fantastic experience: After 18 years of back pain, Krishna is the first physical therapist to help me achieve relief. I am very grateful for her expertise and precision and very pleased with the results. Initially, she manipulated the muscles that would spasm and then introduced gentle stretching and strengthening exercises, increasing their number and intensity over time. Therapists at Access PT work with only one client at a time, so they are able to closely monitor our progress and make adjustments.

Fantastic experience: I was referred to Hands on Healing, ACCESS PT, by my doctor to improve neck mobility. Improvement made when no other PT had been successful. When I recently needed PT for my shoulder, there was no other choice - it had to be Dr. Krishna Khamar from ACCESS!

Fantastic experience: Love this place! Was referred here by my LVHN chiropractor for unresolved, chronic low back pain. Therapists combine massage with exercise!! Why haven't other therapy facilities thought of this? Went to many other facilities over the years for same issue, but only felt minimal improvement. But with Access therapy's protocol, I actually feel relief immediately after my session, and my home program is easy and effective. I have now completed my therapy, and know I have the "tools" to relieve my back pain if it flares up, which only occasionally happens if I really overdue my normal activity level. I used to wake up with so much pain I could barely function in the morning. I no longer struggle in the morning. Krishna and Amy are great gals who work with you at a level customized just for you! I also, entrusted my 88 year old father to their care for his low back pain and he progressed marvelously. Highly recommend anyone, at any age to try this facility!

Fantastic experience: This is the best PT ever! They are amazing!!

Fantastic experience: I am a repeat customer here. They offer more individualized therapy, where most other therapy providers provide the same routine to every patient based on injury, etc. They are all extremely knowledgeable, friendly and I will never go to another provider.

Fantastic experience: This is the best PT ever! They are amazing!!

Fantastic experience: I fell off my motorcycle in March, tore my ACl and damaged my Meniscus. Had surgery at the end of April and here I am 3 months later fully recovered... Thanks in part to HANDS ON HEALING on cedar crest in Allentown Pa... Kayla was my main therapist... she’s great! Their staff is friendly and knowledgeable.. not once did I feel uncomfortable or discouraged during my recovery... They ultimately helped me return back to my normal life and activities relativity quick... Id definitely advise anyone who needs PT to check them out... decent sized location, not over crowded (which allows their staff memebers to be more focused on one patient at a time...

Fantastic experience: The entire team at Hands on Healing PT, Allentown is amazing. The treatment I received was specific to my needs and I always left feeling better physically and emotionally. THANK YOU! I highly recommend Hands on Healing to meet your needs. I visited many other centers and no other PT providers was able to get me further along in my concussion recovery like the team at Hands on Healing did. The treatment I received from Hands on Healing has been life changing.

Fantastic experience: Krishna was the best she is very knowledgeable and she takes time to work on you not like other physical therapists who have you ride a bike then do the same thing every time plus you do not get the same person every time I would recommend hands on healing

Fantastic experience: The entire staff in the Allentown office has helped me with my pain and numbness tremendously. They give personalized care and they listen to you. Who could ask for more?

Fantastic experience: All of the staff at Hands on Healing Cedar Crest are friendly, engaging, and helpful. Scheduling appointments were easy and times flexible with having several therapist available to schedule with. Krishna was my main therapist who my wife recommended to me. She was delightful to work with. Very informative as to what we were doing and why, and educational as I asked detailed questions. Eric and Megan backed her up on visits with everyone documenting treatments and discussions for each other to follow up on. Since, I am a very physically active senior, they trained me to perform the exercises and stretches, when to ice and apply heat in between sessions that allowed me to continue my cycling and fitness active lifestyle while working on a piriformis muscle issue. After 4 weeks of sessions, and religiously doing my home sessions, I am good to go on my own. That's what I wanted. I left immediately for a week hiking in Glacier National Park.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Hands on Healing in Allentown PA for physical therapy. I would definitely recommend this physical therapy center. They are very good at assessing one’s weakness or pain and set to helping it Immediately. I have learned exercises to do that relieve my back pain and these exercises help me to manage my pain. Very professional staff.

Fantastic experience: Molly is an amazing therapist. Her Welton technique has been very effective. I have really appreciated how she cares for her patients as I’ve seen her interact many times while waiting for more my appointment. If you could rate higher than 5 stars I would!

Fantastic experience: Hands on healing is amazing. Everyone here plays a role in your PT. From the PTs to the front desk—everyone is kind, genuine and helpful. They listen to what you have to say, they play a major involvement in your individualized level of care and program. Their one on one care and hands on approach is what sets they a part from all others in area. I highly recommend you come here for your physical therapy.

Fantastic experience: I have been very pleased so far with my experience at Hands On Healing. It definitely is more 'hands on' than the traditional physical therapy I had become accustomed to. Everyone is very pleasant and friendly and each of the therapist I have seen so far have been great to work with. Therapy is one on one in a private setting with your therapist and not in a large room where one tends to feel like they are on display. More importantly, I feel like I am getting therapy very specific to my personal needs and not some general approach to the problem (which had been my past experiences and the reason why I usually shy away from agreeing to PT). Thanks to Hands On Healing I have a new perspective on PT and my hope is my neck & back will be better for it in the end.

Fantastic experience: Unlike the more traditional physical therapy dispensed in a gym like setting with a multitude of machines, Hands on Healing provides one on one care consisting of deep muscle massage, manipulation, stretching and most important, education. The combination allows the patient to achieve recovery and, most important, to maximize their life's potential. Building on the previous post, I agree, Molly IS an amazing therapist. Her communication skills are top notch; she truly listens to understand her patient. This skill, combined with her clinical knowledge and the application of her continually updated "tool box" of physical therapy techniques make her among the best medical professionals I have ever encountered. Beyond skills, she is a very compassionate person who cares about each patient as a person, not just as another appointment on the calendar. Molly is amazing!

Fantastic experience: Such a compassionate, knowledgeable, professional staff! Entire therapy session is one on one in a private room with an individual therapist. The practice does not utilize “gym” type equipment/machines thus maintaining a quiet stress free atmosphere. The therapist watches each exercise making sure it is performed correctly making corrections/ adjustments as appropriate. Hands on Healing is highly recommended for anyone wanting excellent treatment as an individual and not a number pushed through a program. Thank you for the five star care you have afforded me in my recovery.

Fantastic experience: I've been attending therapy here for over 2 years, 100% would recommend coming here if you have any sort of pain or discomfort. HOH has the best therapists and front desk who are caring, knowledgeable, and personable!

Fantastic experience: this therapy is helping me and the staff is very friendly. I would recommend them to anyone

Fantastic experience: Let me preface this by saying I am 68 years young and have degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, arthritis and herniated discs. Other than that, I'm in good shape. This is without a doubt the best decision I've ever made! I'm very glad that I sought out Hands On Healing at the suggestion of an acquaintance and decided with my doctors advice to pursue this avenue. This is not a "no pain, no gain" deal! I said to my therapist just today "I'm surprised that with such a light touch and so little manipulation on your part, that you can accomplish so much in relieving my pain". I was comparing it to chiropractic and massage therapy where it can be harsh and short lived relief in comparison. With continued exercise and proper guidance, I'm well on my way to better health!

Positive experience: This review is from my wife: "Since 1995 I had extreme chronic back pain and I went to "Hands on Healing " on & off from 2005 to 2011. They were always able to fix me up and get me back on my feet & back to work when my pain was too much to manage. When I had an issue with my back again this Spring, I naturally came to "Hands On Healing" thinking that it was still under the supervision of Suparna Damany (who is internationally renowned for her hands on approach to healing pain). I had 14 visits this Summer, and I kept thinking I was going to start getting relief. I continued asking for more deep tissue manipulations on my back (knowing that this was the only thing that was able to help me in the past). However, I don’t think this is part of their current philosophy. They did show me helpful stretches and strengthening exercises and the receptionist, physical therapists, and staff are very friendly. I believe they are competent and seemed to try their best, though for my personal back pain, I was disappointed that I couldn't get relief there. I finally found out that Suparna (the Founder of Hands on Healing) has now moved to the Damany Center on Hamilton Boulevard. I am now going there and started getting pain relief in 4 treatments. Suparna still has clients from all over the world to get healing from her experienced approach. The development of her own unique methodologies and her vast experience allow her to really treat the deep-rooted nature of severe and chronic pain in a highly effective way. I have been treated by at least 20 physical therapists elsewhere, and so far no one has come close to her and her team. So, as far as a review, I was sad to see that “Hands on Healing” no longer uses those same techniques, but glad to know there is somewhere else close to go to get the results for severe pain. I am sure Hands on Healing can treat certain kinds of injury and pain." - K.R.

Fantastic experience: They were very effective in their treatment of my neck and back. I highly recommend them. My two cousins also had significant improvement.

Fantastic experience: This is the very best physical therapy place that I ever been to. I have been going through therapies for over 2 years nothing worked. This place 5 weeks twice a week and I'm doing 95% better than I was in the last 2 years. Everybody is awesome very nice I cannot say enough.

Fantastic experience: The therapists are amazing here! Such specialized attention, really listen to you and work with you! They treat you as a person, not just a number. Their hands on approach is much more effective than just using a machine. They also teach you various exercises and stretches that target the problem areas and can be done at home. The ladies at the front desk are very accommodating and friendly, and Kim is an awesome therapist! Would highly recommend them to everyone!!

Fantastic experience: Kim is the best & is very helpful finding ways to cope with chronic pain in every day life. PT is now something I look forward to.
