What Our Clients Say About Us

What Our Clients Say About Us

Dr. John at Ethos PT was instrumental in helping my daughter recover from shoulder injuries, which was critical for her as a competitive swimmer. He provided attentive, one-on-one care, showed a deep understanding of elite athletes, and made her feel comfortable throughout the process. He was also very flexible with scheduling, accommodating her busy high school schedule with early mornings and late evenings. We are truly grateful for his expertise and support!

John has been incredible over the past three years, consistently dedicated to helping me recover from any injury I’ve had. He is highly knowledgeable, attentive, and always goes above and beyond to support me in any way possible. Even when I’m halfway across the country at school, he takes the time to answer my questions and address my concerns. I couldn’t recommend a better physical therapist.

Felix Q.

When I first suffered a torn meniscus, I didn't even know what the injury was. What I did know was that it disrupted my life in ways I never expected. Sleep was fragmented from constant readjusting, and even simple things like sitting on the couch or driving required me to constantly shift my leg to find a position that offered temporary relief. Going up or down stairs was a daily reminder of the pain. For almost a year, I bounced between orthopedic doctors and various PT practices, searching for answers and a path forward. But nothing seemed to help, and I felt stuck, frustrated, and worn down. I was on the verge of opting for surgery and ready to give up. That’s when I decided to go to Dr. Puzio. Working with him wasn’t just another attempt. It was the turning point. In just a few months, I saw a transformation I hadn’t thought possible. The pain and discomfort that had become fixtures of my daily life began to recede. I started waking up better rested, moving with ease, and finally living without the constant reminder of my injury. Most days now, I don’t feel my symptoms at all. I even completed five days of intense hiking in Acadia National Park, something I didn’t think would be possible with the injury I had given that it was painful to go up and down the stairs in the past. My symptoms flared up toward the end, but thanks to the mobility drills and exercises Dr. Puzio taught me, I rebounded quickly and was symptom free within days of returning home. I’ve since joined a Hyrox gym where I do high intensity workouts that would have previously triggered my injury. But I’ve made it through without issue, which speaks to the strong foundation Dr. Puzio helped me rebuild. What sets Dr. Puzio apart isn’t just his clinical skill. It’s his mindset. He doesn't follow a scripted playbook. He’s constantly reading, learning, and evolving so he can better serve his patients. He takes the time to understand how your body works and moves, then tailors a plan specific to your needs. He’s an excellent communicator, always checking in to make sure his methods are effective. His space is clean and organized, and you feel genuinely seen and heard during each session. Unlike other PT practices, you're not sharing your time with multiple patients. His focus is entirely on you. I’m so glad I gave physical therapy and Dr. Puzio one last shot before pursuing surgery. The results have been life changing. If you're looking for a physical therapist who combines deep expertise with genuine care, I can't recommend him highly enough.

What We Offer

Performance Physical Therapy

and Athletic Development

Performance Physical Therapy

Athletes require a higher level of care that is not possible in most rehab clinics.

We have worked with athletes involved in soccer, basketball, baseball/softball, lacrosse, track & field, gymnastics, dance, you name it!

We understand your activity and will help you get back to performing 100%!

Athletic Development

Our therapists are not only highly educated rehab pros, but also strength and conditioning specialists. We understand the demands of your sport or activity and can help you be better at it. It is our goal that anyone that comes through our doors leaves stronger, faster, and more confident in their athletic abilities.

Corrective Exercises

Typically, pain is a result from an underlying dysfunction. If a muscle or joint is angry, likely another muscle is not doing its job correctly. We use a 3 step proces to get you back to 100%!

Ethos PT Three Step Process

Improve Pain & Symptoms

The first few visits are all about getting you out of pain and stopping the cycle of constant symptoms.

Fix The Root Cause

As we progress through the plan of care, around visits 4-6 the root cause of your pain is solved. As mentioned above, typically pain is caused by another area of the body not performing at 100%.

Increase Baseline and Prevent The Issue From Returning

These last sessions are all about increasing your baseline so that the pain doesn't return! This includes working on the higher level activities that you want to return to. Our goal is for each and every patient to leave our clinic stronger, faster, more agile, and more confident in their abilities than when they walked through our doors.

Why PT for youth athletes?

Youth athletes aren’t “mini adults.”

They’re still growing, which changes how they move, heal, and respond to training.

Our board-certified physical therapists specialize in pediatric sports so your child can:

Recover faster from sprains, strains, and overuse injuries—without rushing back too soon.

Prevent future injuries with neuromuscular training and workload planning.

Learn proper movement mechanics for efficient, safe, repeatable performance.

Build age-appropriate strength and power under expert supervision.

Research shows neuromuscular warm-ups can cut youth team-sport injuries by up to ~60%, and strength training—when coached and progressed properly—is safe and effective for kids and teens.
