Satriano Physiotherapy

I came in last December with debilitating pain in my hips and back at age 27. I had tried all the programs, seen all the experts, and been misdiagnosed many times over, sometimes resulting in treatments that only made my symptoms worse. I had suffered since age 11, and I worried that no one was capable of helping me. Then I met Rob. His genuine curiosity and stunning depth of knowledge showed me instantly that he was not another generic PT with textbook exercises; he was a full partner and mentor in my recovery. Rob exudes expertise that I suspect outshines that of most or all orthopedic surgeons--including my own orthopedic surgeon, with whom I am extremely satisfied--and truly listens to me discuss my (rapid) progress at each and every session. With his guidance, I have gone from being unable to walk or get out of bed without severe pain to preparing for ultramarathons and wrestling competitions. I have gone from feeling crippled to feeling flexible and strong. I have gone from doubting my body to trusting it more and more each month. The best feeling is the confidence that I am now fully capable of achieving what I once was convinced was way out of reach. To call Rob a physical therapist would be reductive because he is a holistic healer. The testimonials on his website all speak honestly to the quality of experience that you can expect from him. I am not aware of another medical professional of any title who matches his skill, and his location in Baltimore is actually a reason for my choice not to move from the DMV to NYC. If you are seeking an irreplaceable provider of wisdom and growth, work with Dr. Rob.

I went to Dr. Rob after years of chronic lower back pain. He educated me on what he thought was happening and put together a plan to fix it. After the first dry needle visit I immediately felt better, and it continued to improve each session. The stretch/strengthening plan he provided was easy and super helpful. Aside from his skill/knowledge, he has incredible bedside manner and is just a good person. I enjoy catching up with him during each visit and walk out feeling great! Do not hesitate going to him - he’s the BEST around!

Meeting Rob changed my life. I was having knee issues to the point that I couldn't go up and down steps without significant pain. I was in my thirties at the time. I had made the rounds to various orthopedists and highly regarded PTs, and I wasn't making progress. The knee pain led to hip issues. One ortho gave me pain meds and suggested that I sell my stair-based house. After two years of struggling with knee issues and pain, working with Rob radically shifted my situation. I started to improve with a combination of PT and dry needling. I still work with Rob for tune-ups if I have an issue but over the past couple of years I've hiked, visited multiple national parks, and take the stairs all the time. I don't take pain meds and I've avoided surgical intervention (side note, multiple orthopedists recommended surgery for my hip). In short, if you are struggling, give Rob a call, maybe he can change your life too.
