testimonials
We've had a lot of positive feed back over the years. Here is what some of our clients had to say:
"I have known Mr. Shaffo for almost 10 years. Although no athlete likes to spend much time in the training room or with a physical therapist, injuries are a part of the game and also life. Every time myself or one of my teammates had an injury Mr. Shaffo's expertise and dedication made for a speedy recovery, which played an important role in winning two WPIAL AAAA Football Championships during my time at Woodland Hills High School. That trust carried over to last year when I did physical therapy with Mr. Shaffo on a severe high ankle sprain that I sustained during last preseason. In my opinion it will be difficult to come across a therapist that has the experience and genuinely cares about his patients like Mr. Shaffo does."
-Ryan Mundy of the Pittsburgh Steelers
"Dr. Shaffo has provided great service to me over the years. After my first surgery, where I did rehab elsewhere, caused me another dislocated shoulder and another shoulder surgery. After my second surgery, Dr. Shaffo performed physical therapy and 5 years later, I have no problems. Without his service, I might not be playing football today."

"I am excited and honored to be writing this testimonial for Joe Shaffo, one of the most outstanding physical therapists in the Pittsburgh area. Joe Shaffo has been working with the athletes, faculty and administrators of the Woodland Hills School District for the past 23 years. Joe has helped with the athletes in all of our 28 sports programs. He's attended all of our football games the past 23 years and helped in the diagnosis of injuries and the rehabilitation programs of the majority of our athletes. He works closely with many of the top surgeons in Pittsburgh including Dr. Christopher Harner, one of the top orthopedic doctors in the country. He's worked with all parts of the body – knees, ankles, feet, shoulders, arms, back and hips etc. Joe is an extremely knowledgeable and hard-working physical therapist. He's taught courses on the collegiate level and has given clinics to high school and collegiate trainers and players. Joe has worked with professional athletes, trainers and even helped at the NFL Player Combine. He is well known and well respected in the Pittsburgh area.
I, myself, went to Joe for my rehabilitation program after recent hip surgery. Joe did an outstanding job. He's a knowledgeable professional that does what's best for each patient. He's sensitive to your needs and flexible in his rehabilitation program.
Joe Shaffo is a physical therapist of high moral fiber and impeccable character. I give him my highest recommendation."
-George Novak
Head coach of the Woodland Hills high school football team.
"Joe is one of most dedicated, warm and caring sports PT's in the field. As a professionally trained dancer turned pro, I knew he understood what it takes to work with high-performance athletes. Dancers, like athletes endure many injuries throughout their careers. During two significant injures (one while on tour) I turned to Joe to help condition my body and mind to stay healthy and competitive during my recovery. Thanks to his great skills and ability to relate to my needs, I was provided with excellent advice and care to get back on stage performing at my best!"
