"Cannot say enough Truly Wonderful things about Samara at CT Dance PT. I've been seeing her for 13 years now and she is the absolute BEST. She's incredibly thoughtful in listening to her patients - something so hard to find these days. Having trained in ballet at the highest level and danced professionally herself, Samara is keenly attuned to injury from all perspectives. She has a devout following among dancers and athletes, getting them well and moving again; she also also treats all their non-dancing family, friends, and anyone with any range of pain/injuries. She's helped me tremendously with the longstanding back pain I'd had for over a well over a decade Before I saw her. She uses bodywork and education, and provides targeted exercises patients can call upon to address and prevent future injury. I'm immensely grateful to Samara for helping me to do what I love again - dance! She is also a lovely person and the office has such a warm and friendly vibe. 10 stars!"

"Samara is the best. She helped put me back together again. Not only is she a complete expert in the types of injuries, strains and sprains dancers deal with but her knowledge of fascia really impressed me. I trust her judgment completely and appreciate how she's focused on helping me achieve my health and fitness goals. Plus, she's so much fun and puts everyone at ease. Bedside manner = 10 out of 10. I'm so grateful for the HSS doctor that referred me to her in the first place!"

"Samara is a huge part of the reason I was able to have a professional dance career. After a serious injury in my pre-professional training, she was the one who helped me to understand the importance of slow recovery, patience, and following medical advice. Even though the young dancer I was certainly wanted to race ahead and see improvements ASAP, this is simply not possible with a demanding field like ballet. She is methodical, precise, and more knowledgeable than any regular PT would be for a dance or ballet specific injury. On the other side of professional life, she still treats any lingering problems I experience as a dance teacher and "normal person" with the same expertise, warmth, kindness, and knowledge. In all likelihood, if I had kept dancing on my overuse injury I might have been looking at a joint replacement before 30. Can't recommend her enough, and the pros know she's the best person to go to in CT."
