Sam was very professional, and helpful. I was had patella tendinious and he helped me get back to running within a short amount of time. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

Sam is an excellent Physical Therapist. I went to him after hurting my lower back snowboarding. Prior to seeing Sam, I was barely able to sit down due to the pain. After going to Sam for a few weeks my back felt extremely better. I highly recommend going to Sam if you need a Physical Therapist.

Sam has been helping me recover from my ACL injury. He consults me for every activity during sessions to understand how my knee feels and then tailors the perfect workout. If I do have discomfort(rarely), he instantly knows what I should do to feel better and it works every single time! Highly recommend PT with Sam!!

I had my second ACL surgery this past winter after a ski injury. Subsequently, this is the second time I've gone through the Rehab/Physical Therapy process. This time around I extensively researched where I would spend the next 5 months or so in PT... I have to say I couldn't be happier with my experience with both Sam and Shay at Total Orthopedics! I couldn't have made a better decision to work with this group. At Total Orthopedics each session was unique and personalized. They spent uninterrupted time with me and customized my program regularly. If you are an athlete and want to rehab back to sports, you need a solid customized program with a Physical Therapist/team who spends time working with you directly. You DO NOT want to go to a 'rehab mill,' where you are a number, many patients are squeezed in, and you are given a list of exercises without much attention (form is extremely important). I am happy to say I have fully recovered from surgery, because of Sam and Shay. I am back to sports and I could not have done with without their help. They are so friendly, fun, and kind. Thanks guys for everything!!!!

Professional, Knowledgeable, and Friendly. I ruptured my achilles back in Dec and started seeing Sam 8wks after surgery. He immediately got to work with the rehabilitation and walked me through the process. Never did meetings with him feel rushed, and though he sometimes has overlap with patients (he's a one man show so understandable), he does his best to give each patient the attention and care they need. You have access to a pool and sauna during your visits, which I found very therapeutic. Though a ruptured achilles takes a long time to heal (I'm still working on my strength), I was walking and going up and down stairs normally within ~3 months. Also he's always available to reach through email and never gave me issues if I had to reschedule an appointment. I couldn't be happier with Sam and his practice. It's also great supporting the smaller, independent local guys. If you're in network (Cigna for me), I highly recommend going to Sam for whatever PT you need.

Sam is great. I've been recovering from a shoulder injury and he's been excellent at knowing when to push and when to slow down to help my recovery. He's got a great bedside manner and explains what's going on in a very clear manner. Highly recommended.

I've had lower back issues for well over a decade and have seen many physical therapists and doctors. I've had chronic pain for years, then after I had my first baby I had a microdiscectomy 6 months after a c section. Post surgery I had extremely debilitating pain that rendered me almost completely immobile. Calling Sam was my hail mary, as I had seen many doctors and therapists up until that point, and was still barely able to leave the house or even move around my house, let alone take care of my son. Sam came to my home for an evaluation (which was not his typical protocol) and agreed to see me at the Skyclub for aqua therapy in the pool. I felt completely hopeless, but somehow Sam is a miracle worker and I am not just mobile again, but feel better in my lower back than I've felt in almost 20 years. I am virtually pain free. My goal was not just to walk normally again, and resume my regular life - but to have another baby. While in pain and immobile for months I never thought that would be possible for me. I'm pleased to say I just had my second baby a month ago, and have been pretty much pain free for a year and a half. This is all after my orthopedist told me I'd likely have pain for the rest of my life. Sam spends the whole 45 minutes with you - he doesn't pawn you off to an assistant. He is caring and very thoughtful and attentive. He really knows his stuff and gives personalized care. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs physical therapy.

Sam is the best PT in Hoboken! He was super knowledgeable and helpful with my post-op recovery. He doesn't overbook so you always get his full attention and help. Shaelyn, the other PT at the office, is also great! I would recommend Sam and Shaelyn to anyone.

Sam has been helping me recover from surgery to repair a torn labrum in my shoulder. I’ve been nothing but pleased after each visit (2x per week). He does a great job explaining his approach to rehabilitation and describing each exercise as we progress throughout our sessions. Sam consistently asks how I’m feeling as we progress through the different exercises and is quick to adapt the protocol if I’m feeling discomfort (which is rare). Overall, I’m very pleased with Sam and the results I’ve experienced so far. Highly recommend to anyone in need of physical therapy in the Hudson County area!

Francisco Rojas

I’ve had 3 acl surgeries in the past and Sam has been the best therapist I’ve gone through. He got me feeling better than how I was before the injury. He never overbooks, always pays attention to detail and instills confidence in you to use your injured body part to get stronger/better overall. Facility and equipment used is among the best in the business. Highly recommend, 10/10!!

Samuel Locke

Sam and Brian have been invaluable in helping me rehab from an injury. A very organized and customized approach to physical therapy with access to all of the fitness and strength equipment you could ask for. Wouldn’t recommend anyone else in the Hoboken area

Sam understood the pain in my knee as soon as I explained it. It felt like he had a unique plan to help me recover. He takes time and explains things thoroughly
