PAR 5 Physical Therapy - Randolph

I been struggling with nagging back pain for over 3 years, and was unable to find answers/relief. Decided to give Par5 PT a try for the initial evaluation just to see if it had something different to offer.

Within the first 10 minutes of our first session, Dr Paul was able to pinpoint where the pain was (which was tough for me to locate exactly), and offered tangible reasons for why this pain was occurring. I was also shocked at how inflexible I was during the evaluation. After the initial session, I ended up buying a 10-pack of sessions with high hopes of recovery.

The first few sessions focused on stimulation of the affected muscles, in hopes of freeing them up to relieve the pain and stiffness. My pain decreased dramatically, and we transitioned to more of a flexibility and strengthening program for my back and core muscles.

Before I started working with Dr Paul, the pain after a round of golf would consume the rest of my day, and sometimes carry over into the next day. Now, 8 sessions in, I can say that my pain is negligible after a round of golf or working out. In addition to my weekly exercise plan, Dr Paul provided me with pre and post-round exercises, which have greatly helped me in my preparation and recovery.

I thoroughly enjoy learning from and working with Dr Paul. I would (and have) recommend Par5 PT to anyone struggling with pain, or looking for a strengthening/flexibility plan.

I've had unresolved shoulder pain for over 10 years. Then when I started CrossFit some of the movements began to aggravate and intensify my pain.

I sought out Dr. Paul Kochoa. In my initial interview, I asked him if I needed surgery and I asked him to teach me alternate movements to avoid the pain. Dr. Kochoa said "no" to both and told me that with a few sessions he would resolve my pain. I didn't really believe that, but figured that I would at least get some improvement, so I signed up for 6 sessions.

I expected to have shoulder pain for the rest of my life, but by the end of my first session with Dr. Kochoa about half my pain was resolved. He assigned me several at-home exercises which I did perform between appointments and just like he initially told me, after about 4 or 5 sessions my pain is gone!

I've continued to challenge my body with CrossFit and I still check-in with Dr. Paul to address anything new that comes up. Since Dr. Paul is a CrossFit athlete himself and conveniently located in a CrossFit facility we often get on the pull-up bar or grab a barbell and go over any new issues that I have. In a single session he did some miracle work with an issue that I was having with my Overhead Squat. He also gave me exercises that brought me from 0 strict pull-ups to sets of 5 strict pull-ups, in only 12 days!

Until my experience, I had no idea what sort of miracle work can be done with physical therapy. Thank you Dr. Paul!!!

I started going to Dr Paul the beginning of December 2022! I have pretty bad lower back pain and in my glut muscle . I thought it was sciatica ! Dr. Paul after putting me through motion tests determined that it was pretty bad muscle weakness ! Every week he works with me to do different excercises to help with the weakness and to help give me more flexibility
I really notice a difference , though I have a way to go . He is great and I would highly recommend him .

I had 12 sessions with Dr. Paul over the summer of 2022 to address my hip/back issue. I was unable at times to complete my golf swing (follow through) due to a hip joint impingement which also created tight lower back muscles. We worked on both stretching and strengthening my hip/back area with solid success. While the work continues I've made great strides in gaining functional movement with less discomfort. The combination of Dr. Paul's PT and TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) knowledge is perfect for golfers seeking functional assistance. I highly recommend Dr. Paul and Par5 PT in Randolph.

Dr Paul is extremely knowledgeable in the art of physical training. He has developed a program for me.that matches my needs perfectly. Not only are the exercises improving my golf game, but are also improving general quality of life issues. These include general strength and balance exercises, and focus on weak areas. I have been looking for a trainer of this caliber for a long time.
