TESTIMONIALS:

___________________________

"Joe has a way of balancing manual work on

my problem areas with exercise based therapy.

He is always attentive to whatever issues I have going on with my neck and back, listens carefully, and is focused on providing the

highest quality care for his patients. He has

an incredible work ethic and makes me feel

special every time I have an appointment."

“In May of 2008 I pulled my Quadriceps muscle in my left leg while playing softball.

My doctor sent me to Joe Fuccello at Capstone. Mr. Fuccello worked me into his schedule and drafted a physical therapy program to get me

back on my own two feet. He is very personable and made the seasons very enjoyable (even

though I was in pain due to the pull). My

recovery went well and fast. I would refer Capstone to anyone I know who might be in

need of physical therapy or physical training.”

"Each time Joe performed therapy on my knee, I left the office feeling much better, not only from the therapy but the kind words he expressed during our sessions. I am glad to tell others about my experience. Now that it is 18 months later, if I would need therapy, I would come back to CAPSTONE PHYSICAL THERAPY. "

"Only five months after rotator cuff surgery and physical therapy with Joe, I was able to compete in my first sprint triathlon. It was because of Joe's ability to treat my shoulder surgery that allowed me the ability to train and complete a 1/2 mile swim so soon after injury. Joe has treated and assisted me after surgery and sport injuries with outstanding results. Joe always provides professional treatment, allowing me to continue training. Capstone offers a warm and friendly atmosphere while receiving professional therapy after surgeries or injuries. I would recommend Capstone for anyone recovering from surgery or injury. "
