What Shandon clients say about us

Real stories from athletes who got back to what they love.

I have seen Jay a couple of times - for various problems with my feet, knees, and hamstrings. As a 'woman of a certain age' there are a lot of issues that seemingly appear overnight. Jay explains how a weakness here could lead to pain there over time and has given me great exercises to strengthen and correct my issues. I've been doing some of these for years, which has allowed me to continue to lift heavy and improve in my CrossFit adventures. Highly recommend Salerno Sports Therapy!
Kathy Ferguson
Had bad hip/sore back injury from my workout. Thankfully Jay Salerno @ Salerno Sports Therapy was able to take me in and fix my hip and back. Had my tightness in the forearm area also treated a few months ago, A good experience overall.. Wonderful PT. A big thank you to Dr. Jay Salerno..

Really enjoyed working with Jay, can’t thank him enough!
Matthew Pham
I’m a college baseball and was having pain/tightness in my throwing arm shoulder. After working with Jay for only a few weeks my shoulder is feeling way stronger and healthier than before.
Charlie Compton
I came to Salerno sports therapy with 2 separate issues (knee pain and pulled hamstring) and after working with Jay for a few weeks I forgot I even had an injury! Sessions were enjoyable, I highly recommend.
Mia Flack
Can not recommend enough! I worked with another physical therapist for four months. I spent the same amount of money, with little to no progress. Within three visits with Jay, My pain had drastically minimized, strength and range of motion increased, and just like that, I was back to lifting. Nala is also so kind and helpful with scheduling.

Common questions from Shandon athletes

Get answers before you schedule your first session.

Do I need a doctor's referral to start PT in South Carolina?

No. You can book directly with us thanks to South Carolina's direct access laws. If you want to pursue out-of-network reimbursement and your plan requires a referral, we can guide you through that process after your evaluation.

How long do sessions run, and what's the typical frequency?

Each session is a full hour with your physical therapist. Most athletes start with one to two visits per week and taper down as strength and function improve. We'll customize the schedule to fit your training cycle and recovery needs.

Will starting PT mean I have to stop golfing, running, or lifting?

Not in most cases. We believe in training through rehab whenever it's safe and smart to do so. We'll modify your activity as needed to keep you progressing without flaring up symptoms, but our default is to keep you in the game.

Why is this more expensive than other physical therapy options near Shandon?

We operate outside insurance networks so we can give you an entire hour of focused, one-on-one care without the limitations of insurance-based PT. You're paying for expertise, individualized programming, and the kind of attention that leads to lasting results.

What should I bring or wear to my first visit?

Wear comfortable workout clothes—athletic shorts or leggings and a T-shirt are ideal. Golfers should be ready to talk about swing mechanics and limitations. Runners should bring current shoes. We may ask you to move through sport-specific patterns during your assessment.
