Strive2LiveWell Physical Therapy & Wellness - Shelton, Connecticut

Kyle Miller

I started working with Jay after another physical therapist, who couldn’t get the results I needed, recommended me to him for his expertise and vast knowledge. From day one, Jay has been incredible. When I first came in, my body was in so much pain—my neck, shoulders, and back were completely locked up. Jay’s attention to detail and his ability to truly listen stood out right away. He took the time to understand my situation and crafted a tailored approach that has worked wonders. After months of working together, I’ve gained significant mobility and feel like a completely different person. If you’re looking for someone with unmatched skill and a genuine dedication to helping his patients, Jay is the one to see!

I couldn't run for 42 days but STRIVE Got Me Back!

For the first time in my 13 year adult onset running journey, I wasn't able to run due to a foot injury. Being a running PT and coach myself, I am super selective on who I seek out for guidance and when I was stuck on the next steps for my plantar fascia injury, I knew exactly who to contact...Jay Myerson and his team at Strive 2 Live Well Physical Therapy! I have entrusted them with the care of many runners in the past and knew this would be what I needed to overcome this injury which kept me from doing the thing I loved so much. I went from being barely able to walk with sharp foot pain and not running for 6 weeks to now running 5x/week again getting in my mental clearing miles all WITHOUT having to worry about my foot pain returning. The experience at Strive 2 Live Well is unparalleled in the current state of healthcare. From my first visit, the staff welcomed me with open arms making me feel like a human and not "an injured body part". They truly care about the person as a whole and what was most important to me in not only getting pain free but also getting back to running. I was pleasantly surprised to walk out from my first visit with significant less foot pain but most importantly as an athlete with newfound hope after struggling with pain for weeks and not getting the right answers from other doctors. Jay and his team not only have the highest skill level when it comes to other manual based sports physical therapists but are amazing at prescribing the right exercises that I needed at the right time to overcome my injury. I am indebted to Jay and his team for getting me back to running and my body is now stronger than ever following my experience working with Strive 2 Live Well Physical Therapy. If you are a runner or an athlete who runs, I can't recommend them enough to help you get your life back, I know they did that for me.

Jay is the absolute best!! He came as a recommendation from one of my good friends and am so happy that I listened to him. I have been having back issues for the last 15-20 Years and he has helped me identify some of the core issues that have been causing it and is helping me strengthen these areas. I can’t thank you enough for helping me get back on my feet and stay on my feet

Jay has helped me so much. I started with him in such bad hip pain which prevented me from walking and doing the thing I love most Pilates. Thanks to Jay I am now able to continue my classes and once again enjoy my long walks. Most important I get to be an active Grandma.

Strive2LiveWell Physical Therapy & Wellness was a Great experience for me. Dr. Jay did manual therapy along with Dry needling and is with you the entire visit. He is very sincere about your progress and makes sure it is working. Very rewarding for me, they are the best.

Being treated at Strive2LiveWell PT was an entirely positive experience from start to finish. Prior to my first appointment with Jay he called me to get background on the injury I was coming in for which was a great start to my time at his practice. He was very open and communicative for my entire treatment process and made sure we were on the same page throughout the several month process. I got so much motion back in my neck and my jaw, I get headaches less frequently, and he provided me with a thorough plan forward. He made it clear that while he is no longer treating me he is still accessible for questions/assistance down the line.

He is also very honest about when you get to a point in treatment where he feels he can no longer be helpful to you (I got to a point where I needed to see a different specialist) - instead of stringing me along for my money (like so often happens in healthcare) he told me right away and referred me to one of his colleagues.

It can be SO HARD to find a provider that truly listens to you, but with Jay I had no doubt about the fact that he listened to and took into consideration everything I told him! While nobody wants to HAVE to go to PT, if you are looking for a caring and compassionate provider, this is the place!

I have seen Jay for the last 4 months with a significant back injury. I am very active and was not able to do any of the things I love. Jay diagnosed the problem quickly and performed manual therapy and exercises with me. Jay was supportive and attentive to my issues and I am now on my way to recovery. Jay and his staff were very kind and compassionate which is much appreciated. I would highly recommend Strive 2 Live Well.

Jay Myerson is thoughtful, careful, and skilled. At each appointment, he strived (really) to solve whatever limitations or pain I was experiencing. He always checked to make sure that his efforts were working . . . and kept me moving forward toward success, giving me a reasonable amount of "homework" to augment my visits to him. If one effort didn't seem to work, he would try something more. He always listened attentively, demanding detailed feedback to inform his treatment. His goal was always to get me back to doing what I love in a reasonable amount of time. And he seemed pretty happy to send me on my way when that time came.
Additionally, all of the staff in his office were consistently friendly, welcoming and professional. I was sad to say goodbye. I highly recommend Jay and his practice.
