Manual Medicine Physical Therapy

Experiencia fantástica: The most knowledgeable therapist I have dealt with. Explained everything to me. Looked for the cause of my pain. Recommend to anyone with chronic back pain.

Experiencia fantástica: I found this service through Google and the positive reviews convinced me of giving it a chance. I'm so glad I did, so I hope this review helps others who are in need of a great therapist, reach Max. I have bad knees as a result of years of ballet training and have seen a number of therapists everywhere. That was until I met Max. With very simple exercises and no machines at all, he got rid of the pain. Most important of all, he taught me how to recognize my limits and how to build up stronger legs. Excellent therapist and excellent service!

Experiencia fantástica: So impressed. Max did a fantastic job of explaining the likely causes of my foot numbness, and recommending strength training to improve the symptoms. He explained things in a detailed, non-rushed way. He went out of his way to answer my questions and explain other concerns not directly related to my visit. I am VERY impressed with Max and would recommend anyone to his practice.

Experiencia fantástica: Max was very knowledgeable and helpful with rehabbing my plantar fasciitis. He was very good about sending articles and information that would assist with my recovery. Thanks again for all your help!

Experiencia fantástica: I went to Manual Medicine for a persistent running injury that just wouldn't go away. Max worked with me to find the root cause of the problem and gave me exercises and workout tips to resolve the issue for good, and in just a few weeks. Not only did he help me understand my issue, which I'd always thought was something I was just going to have to live with, but he also patiently answered my slew of questions on various workout related topics. Max was fun to work with and is great at what he does!

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely awesome. My injured foot was feeling so much better after just two visits. I'm kicking myself for waiting to long. I would definitely recommend this practice. Super friend and knowledgeable plus flexible hours and a great downtown location.

Experiencia fantástica: I cannot express enough gratitude for Dr. Todoroff. His extensive knowledge, unwavering patience, and attentive listening skills have transformed my rehabilitation experience. Dr. Todoroff's expertise shines through in every session, providing me with the personalized care and guidance I need. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Todoroff to anyone seeking not just a physical therapist, but a true partner in their path to wellness.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Max Todoroff is THE MAN. Very helpful, informative and does great work. Helped me get through several sports injuries. Highly recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Todoroff is great. He puts his patients' needs first. Highly recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Todoroff is extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. He takes the time to teach you exactly what is happening and how his regimens address issues or help prevent future injury. Very highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Max is top notch

Experiencia fantástica: I've been extremely impressed with the level of professionalism from Max. I'm an athlete with a science background, and he spoke to me while acknowledging those two facts by using terms I'm familiar with and never assumed I knew less than I did. I've never interacted with a doctor who has treated me with that much respect. He also laid out exactly what I should expect from my insurance including how subsequent visits will affect the costs; my insurance company didn't even provide this information to me! I look forward to continuing my physical therapy sessions with him.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Max is a caring professional who is also a great communicator. His communication and physical therapy skills and abilities enables Dr. Max to effectively treat his patients. Because he significantly reduced the pain in my lower back and right hip, I highly recommend Max Todoroff.

Experiencia fantástica: Max Todoroff guided me before and after a left hip replacement. He is highly skilled and very personable. A friendly place to visit and get well. I thank Max for helping me walk again!

Experiencia fantástica: I had a great experience here with Max. He seems to really care about making his patients better and will go the extra mile to do so. Three months after I finished my physical therapy, I called with a few concerns and he immediately gave me a new exercise plan and suggested some next steps. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: I was very pleased with the treatment and service I received at Manual Medicine Physical Therapy and specifically Max Todoroff! Max is incredibly skilled, educated and has a pleasant demeanor. He was able to diagnose my pain and develop exercises/stretches that have helped reduce my discomfort. Administratively, Manual Medicine submitted my insurance claims without incident and used the latest technology to keep me scheduled on a regular basis. I highly recommend using them to get you feeling better!

Experiencia fantástica: I saw Dr. Todoroff over the span of a month to treat my neck injury. During the time I worked with him, he was extremely professional and helpful. He provided great advice and an exercise regimen that has helped heal my injury: I am now feeling pretty normal and pain-free. Dr. Todoroff is big on patient education and gives you the tools and knowledge not only to recover from the injury but also to prevent future injuries. Dr. Todoroff is genuine and a really nice guy. I would strongly recommend him if you are in need of a PT.

Experiencia fantástica: The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. With their help I have made a lot of progress toward getting my ankle back to normal after a surgery. Would highly recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: I came here seeking help with a repetitive stress injury I was worried about. I'd gone to two orthopedic doctors already, and while I'm not sure they were necessarily wrong, the experiences I had with them gave me the sense that they didn't have time for me. That's what led me to this place. Manual Medicine says on their website that they listen to your history and make sure you understand your affliction. This is true and the #1 selling point for me. For half the price of my orthopedic visit, I got a full hour of conversation about how I got into my predicament, what was going on with my injury, and what I needed to do to address it - which left me much more satisfied and confident that I would recover than the rushed 5-10 minutes you get with doctors at larger institutes. And bonus - he works evening hours, so if you're a 9-to-5'er like me you don't have to take time off work. I highly recommend this place.

Experiencia fantástica: I worked with Michael Commesso on several issues last year. I'm happy with the results and impressed the Manual Medicine approach. I've previously worked with one of the largest PT groups in Raleigh, and they only provide 20 minutes with the therapist per visit. The rest of the time is with very junior staff or with a hot pack. Michael spent the whole hour with me every time. I feel this contributed toward better final results and reaching them more quickly with only one session a week. We spent the sessions with both soft tissue work and strengthening exercises. It was valuable to have an expert supervising the exercises as frequent from corrections are needed. Without these adjustments, my home exercise plan also would have been less effective. Manual Medicine is a great practice. It is a different approach that I feel is significantly better than we I received elsewhere.

Experiencia fantástica: Max helped me rehab after ACL surgery and did a great job keeping me on track and getting me back up to speed. I appreciated his personalized approach, and the evening hours and convenient downtown location made it easy to fit physical therapy into my schedule. I'd highly recommend Manual Medicine!

Experiencia fantástica: Both Mike and Kira (receptionist) were friendly and professional. As others have stated, it was nice to work with a therapist for the entire session. I saw improvement in my pain.

Experiencia fantástica: I saw Dr. Todoroff over a period of 4 months for rehab after I had surgery to repair a ruptured achilles tendon. I started my rehab at a different facility, but needed to find a PT closer to downtown Raleigh. Dr. Todoroff was very responsive and professional in all correspondence outside of the clinic and very knowledgeable and interactive during our sessions. If you want to go to a clinic where you are going to work with a Physical Therapist (not an assistant or tech) who will have your sole focus during your session, then I highly recommend Manual Medicine Physical Therapy. He got me on the right track to recovery and by the time I decided I could continue my therapy on my own, I was walking normally, running and was provided detailed workouts to continue to regain full strength in my affected leg.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent and Effective treatment! Dr. Todoroff has delivered above and beyond any expectation I had!

Experiencia fantástica: Friendly, knowledgeable staff, reasonable pricing, great downtown location, in depth, personalized recovery plans and hours that will work for anyone's schedule. Max Todorof, the owner and operator is a stand up guy. Someone who wants to educate his clients so they can use what they learn so they can become more independent in their healing process. My MCL was a wreck before coming to Max and it had gotten to where I had difficulty managing the pain in my day to day work. I can't say enough, looking back on it I just can't think of anything bad to say. One thing that I really can't stress enough though is Max is the only PT I could find that would work with my schedule. For many people, taking off in the middle of the work day is just unrealistic. I work from 8-6 most days and Max was the only guy who had hours that would work with my schedule, since I needed to have at least two appointments a week for awhile to help get my knee straightened out. I'm now back to playing competitive volleyball multiple times a week!

Experiencia fantástica: After six months of a shoulder injury not improving, I went to Dr. Todoroff. In just a few visits spaced over about 6 weeks he helped me rapidly improve by showing me a set of exercises. I would happily see him again for any physical therapy issues.

Experiencia fantástica: Max is a great physical therapist. He is extremely knowledgeable and makes it a point to continue to improve in his field. He is flexible about scheduling so I can always get in when I really need it. He really focuses on your specific needs during your sessions and makes great hands-on corrections and suggestions for you to do on your own. I highly recommend Manual Medicine.

Experiencia fantástica: I came for a minor neck injury and to improve my posture. Max is personable and intelligent. My favorite part was that he educated me about the reasons my injury may have happened, and how the workouts he prescribed would help me heal and improve for my long-term health. Not only that but it was very affordable, especially compared to a few other places in the area I went to first.

Experiencia fantástica: Over the course of 4 months, Max helped me rehab a fully ruptured Achilles tendon and a shoulder injury that had been plaguing me for years. It's been almost a year and I've continued with his rehab program even after my last session. I've gone back to my usual activities of lifting weights, running, and playing tennis again. Highly recommended.

Experiencia fantástica: To the point: Go to Manual Medicine Physical Therapy. Dr. Max Todoroff and Alex are professional, respectful, courteous and 100% devoted to making sure you get the care you need. The care is affordable (they take a range of insurance providers), accessible (they’ll validate parking when necessary) and attentive (they focus on you holistically). The longer review: I had experienced lower back pain for almost nine months and visited a whole range of health care providers, including a different physical therapist, a chiropractor, an acupuncturist and two primary care providers. After all this treatment, getting an x-ray that couldn’t pinpoint the problem and a whole lot of what felt like arduous time spent, nothing worked to substantially reduce my pain. But when I visited Dr. Todoroff, things changed. Dr. Todoroff really listened to me to understand the source of my pain, probing all the right questions about my physical activities, general exercise regime and the form I used when doing various exercises/activities. Each session lasted about an hour and was utilized efficiently. Dr. Todoroff taught me different exercises tailored to my body, personal goals and health needs. Throughout our three sessions, his focus never shifted: my health. After each session, Dr. Todoroff emailed me instructions for each of the exercises we worked on (he was willing to provide hardcopies as well; I just preferred email), and he routinely followed up with me in-between sessions, making sure I was feeling okay with my exercise and overall health care regime. Moreover, I never felt pressured to make a follow-up appointment I didn’t feel was necessary myself. Nine months after my back pain started, I’m finally pain free, and I can attribute that wholly to Dr. Todoroff. Not only that, but I feel like my overall strength/conditioning has vastly improved. If I ever need physical therapy again, Dr. Todoroff’s office is where I will go for sure. If you’re reading this, look no further; you’ve found your next (and likely last) physical therapist.
