Our website will help you know the main parts of the thoracic spine and how these parts work, which is important as you learn to care for your back problem. ⁣

Hearing from our patients inspires us every day. Thank you to 𝗟𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗞 for sharing this feedback with us!

"Tony Mencucci is by far the best physical therapist I have ever worked with. Tony’s initial evaluation was comprehensive. He took the time to not only check pain level and range-of-motion, but he also talked to me about my history, concerns, hopes for PT, normal activities, and lifestyle. He really cares about helping people get better. The PT itself was very individualized, stressing the importance of stopping an exercise if it were to become painful (to avoid further injury). No other therapist has ever said that to me. I highly recommend Tony, as well as the entire practice at STAR Physical Therapy!"

It's great to know someone has your back, physically and metaphorically! Someone you can go to in your hour of need. Whether that's your father, another family member or a friend, you can count on them. Happy Father's Day from all at STAR Physical Therapy, we've got your back!

Water a plant that could use a little love. Often, within 30 minutes, the leaves lift, the color deepens, and it looks quietly perked up again. Care doesn’t always need words. Sometimes showing up, even briefly, is enough to make a visible difference.

Although people often refer to a disc herniation as a slipped disc, the disc doesn't actually slip out of place. The term herniation means the material at the center of the disc has squeezed out of its normal space. If you are dealing with back pain, STAR Physical Therapy would love to meet you to help you on your way to getting back to the things you love. ⁣

It's not all about having an impressive six-pack, core strength is sooo important for many aspects of your health, from preventing to being able to bend to tie your shoelaces.👟👟 ⁣
⁣
Weak core muscles impact how well your arms and legs work, which affects most moves you make. A strong, flexible core also helps your balance and stability, which helps prevent falls and injuries whether you're into or just going about your life. ⁣
⁣
STAR Physical Therapy is happy to help people in Fairport and Rochester to assess and strengthen their core.

Slow down long enough to enjoy choosing. Notice the smells, the colors, the small decisions. Let it be a moment instead of a rush. No multitasking, no scrolling, just being there. Enjoying something simple on purpose is its own kind of luxury, and it’s available more often than we think.
