From the reviews
I received great PT there. The entire staff was very welcoming and professional. Rick Purdy was my therapist, and the treatment, professionalism, patience and his kindness made my visits much easier. I have to return to PTSM, because of failed back surgeries which has also resulted in neuropathy, and Mr.
Rick Purdy and the team at PTSMC in New Haven are extremely professional, responsive and thorough. Rick has helped me through vertigo challenges, he makes the time to see me on short notice when he has a full schedule because my world is spinning.
I love this place. Everyone so friendly and respectful and my therapist. Mary is the best. I give her 10 stars if I could. She's so soft-spoken, she attentive and she goes right to business right to work.
With physical therapist Andrew Perazella, I had ten PT sessions to rebuild my strength after a long hospitalization. Andrew was terrific. He instructed me in exercises that improved my walking, strengthened various muscles, and enabled me to mount my bicycle without difficulty.
Booking hijama (wet cupping) at Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine Centers New Haven
Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine Centers New Haven comes up as a provider that offers hijama — wet cupping, where the skin is lightly punctured after suction so a small amount of blood is drawn. If you're booking hijama specifically, a few things are worth asking before you go. First, sterility is everything — a reputable practitioner uses a fresh, single-use kit (new blades and cups) for every client and follows clean, gloved technique. It's completely fair to ask how they handle this. Second, many people booking hijama want a same-gender practitioner — ask whether that can be arranged. Third, ask about aftercare and whether they observe particular days if that matters to you.
What to expect from your first cupping session
New to cupping? Here's the short version. What happens: the practitioner places cups on the skin — most often the back, shoulders, or legs — and creates suction (with a pump, or briefly with a flame for fire cupping). Cups either stay put for a few minutes (dry cupping) or are glided over oiled skin (massage cupping). A session is usually 15–45 minutes, often added to a massage or acupuncture visit. The marks: cupping leaves round, bruise-like circles that are normal and usually fade in a few days to a couple of weeks — they're discoloration from the suction, not an injury, and shouldn't really hurt. What to wear: comfortable clothing that gives access to the area being treated. Afterward: drink water, keep the area warm, and skip intense sun or a hot sauna right after.
