Niki is great! She has a thorough understanding of vestibular therapy and she was instrumental in helping me overcome the effects of my vertigo. I highly recommend her for vestibular therapy. She works out of the Newtown office.

I have only great things to say about my son's Physical Therapist, Fraline! She was patient, kind, and always pushed him to do his very best! My son looked forward to each session and loved all of the fun activities Fraline had planned for him. Mr. Curtis would also help out playing the games and encourage my son. My son LOVED "hanging out" with both of them, especially playing Uno No Mercy.

My son karter sees Tara and Zoe these two women are amazing. They have really made me and my son feel like family going above and beyond for us always there always supportive building a relationship with my son beyond anything that I expected. I couldn’t be more happy with these two women. In the owner, Josh is amazing with his busy life. He still makes time for his patience to speak with us about any concerns. I could not be more excited to go on this journey with these amazing people.

The staff at the Virginia Beach location were amazing. From the check-in staff to the therapists, I always felt welcomed. And many kudos to my PTs Gabrielle Motsko, Sam Stainback and Nick Bulleit. As my primary PT Gabrielle ensured my care program was seamless and I made excellent progress under her care.

My son saw Ms. Emily for speech for a couple years and he made huge improvements with her help. She was always very knowledgeable and understanding when ever concerns were brought up about his progress and made sure he was being challenged every step of the way to ensure he got the most out of his sessions. Couldn't ask for a better speech therapist

I don’t have any complain with my child’s therapists, they have been doing an excellent job but I am always having the worst experience with the receptionists at bldg A! At least give a little respect to the person in front of you rather than giving all your attention on the phone! You are always causing us to be late on our appointments because all you do is talk on the phone! At least have a person to assist the patients coming in rather than just focusing on phone calls! Worst receptionists!

Before my son came to see Hannah, he wasn't saying any words, just mumbles. After 3 months, my 2 year old can now say a handful of words, animal noises, and identify things! He's come such a long way! Thank you Hannah and Adler Therapy Group!

I have been assisting a gentleman who had a stroke a little over a year ago. He has been receiving speech, occupational and physical therapy at Adler Therapy at the Virginia Beach Blvd. office for the past 9 months. I help him with his therapy exercises at home and have taken him to Adler many times. I have to say, I have not seen a kinder, more compassionate group of people in any health profession. All of the people that I've come across, from the front desk to each therapist and assistant have gone far above and beyond to help my friend in his recovery. They are encouraging, respectful and knowledgeable and all of them seem to have a great sense of humor. Most importantly, they truly care about the patients. I highly recommend Adler Therapy to anyone who needs therapy.

We’ve had an amazing experience with Kendra Miller! She is incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgeable. She takes the time to truly understand her clients’ needs and works at a pace that is comfortable yet effective. My child always felt supported and encouraged during sessions, which has helped build her confidence in communication. The progress we’ve seen is remarkable, and it’s clear how much care and dedication Kendra brings to every session. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and skilled SLP!

I was a patient of Adler Therapy Group (at their Chesapeake location) from late May through mid-August 2024, after a scary experience on some concrete stairs and resultant lingering pain and weakness. A prior doctor's visit and xrays showed no sign of serious arthritis or breaks, but the pain persisted in my hip and in my knees. As Adler is across the hall from my doctor, and after encouragement by a friend who is a speech pathologist in Adler's Newport News office, I made an appointment (first PT ever) not knowing what to expect.My initial consult was with Steve Sargol who listened carefully to what I'd been experiencing and took his time in measuring and observing the problem, and developing a plan with specific exercises to not only relieve the pain, but also to strengthen the affected joints and areas.I began the journey in late May using a cane as a walking aid. I hurt constantly (especially the hip) and stairs were a nightmare for me. When I finished in August, the cane was long gone and I was able to go on long walks again and maneuver stairs so much better. And the exercises I was provided are now a part of my daily routine. As Steve says, "Motion is lotion!".The atmosphere created by everyone at Adler Chesapeake is one of support, encouragement, a serious desire to promote strength and healing, and -- fun. Even though PT was hard, they made it fun. To Steve and everyone else (Staci, Sam, Maya!!!) I am forever grateful for your patience with me and your determination to make this rehab successful. I cannot thank each of them enough!!!

I think it's fair to say that no one looks forward to going through physical therapy and I'm certainly no different. I have degenerative arthritis of the spine and had lost considerable flexibility of my neck - up and down, side to side and rotation. I also developed a shoulder problem that I was certain was going to require surgery to correct. My PCP referred me to Adler Therapy Group in Chesapeake. Dr. Maya did a good evaluation and created an appropriate and effective treatment regimen. Twice a week Sam, Staci and sometimes Steve would guide me through all the different exercises. I've had PT before but never had the personal attention that I received from Maya, Steve, Sam and Staci. Bottom line: my shoulder issues have disappeared and my range of rotation in my neck has improved almost 100%. I can even drink beer out of a can now and I couldn't before. I give my highest recommendation to Adler Therapy Group in Chesapeake for anyone needing physical therapy.

At the Va Beach Blvd location; The staff and patients are very kind. I enjoy the expertise given by physical therapist A. Nick and Sam.They are giving their best methods to my healing journey and thank you for your understandingFollow up: became seriously ill thought management would understand a lot of miscommunication and mind games and threats to give policy fees. My whereabouts through management never was given proper apology nor was my health taken in consideration moved to new facility. Horrible timing and horrible lack remorse I will say. Life is life and live it to your best strengths don't ever apologize for being unwell🙏🏾. Thanks, Nick and Sam once again stay awesome great communication and always gave great customer services

This was my first experience having physical therapy and I couldn’t have asked for a better place. I worked with Madison, who was my main therapist, along with her assistants Nick and Sam.Everyone I encountered from the front desk receptionists to the physical therapists were all personable, making it feel like a family friendly environment. I also observed how the other therapists interacted with their patients, and you can tell the patients really appreciated them.I was being seen for my IT band issues. They made sure that I was comfortable with the various exercises and stretches, but at the same time they also wanted to challenge me enough so I could get stronger in the areas that needed it.If I ever needed physical therapy services again, I would seek their help first.

From the Virginia Beach location, this was probably one of the best places to do my physical therapy. I was more than lucky to have Nick and Gabrielle and it has been the best with them. They have made it enjoyable and yet efficient to get where I needed to go to achieve my best for my knee. Nick enjoys his patients and pays careful attention to what they need. He is a great person for both tending your needs and helping you become the best. He also has a little humor going for him to keep you smiling throughout your whole visit. It was the best being a patient of his. When you get the time, ask him about calf raises. Gabrielle was someone I could easily click with and feel open with. She is someone who you can easily build trust to. She gives you the proper care that you need to keep doing your exercises. She takes the time to check in on you and make sure that you are on track with what you're supposed to do. Like Nick, she brings a sense of humor that makes your appointments 10x enjoyable. There was never a dull time with Gabrielle, which is what I enjoyed and looked forward to each visit. Overall, they both are the best I have worked with. Aside from their professionalism and communication, they know how to connect with you on a deeper level and bring the best in you, both in the physical and emotional component. Saying I had a great time here would be an understatement, and if I could, I would do it all over again with Nick and Gabrielle.Aside from my amazing physical therapists, the staff I interacted with made my appointment the best as well. Everyone there is absolutely amazing and I will miss hearing from all of them. Sam always came in with providing the best jokes that would leave me to wonder each time. It was fun trying to guess which ones he would pick. But every one would put a smile on my face. Niki also was one person who would make my visits enjoyable. She would always bring in laughter and fun whenever I could see her. She was the best. And Jenna would always greet me and tend to my needs. It was always the best saying hello and goodbye to her every visit. She is the best. Though I never had them, they made my stay at Adler Therapy the best.Nick and Gabrielle always knew what was best for me. They made sure to pick out what was best for me to do to get better. Aside from that, they are the best people and you would be lucky if they could be your physical therapists.

I severely sprained my wrist during a yoga retreat in Bali in April 2024. It was so bad I couldn't even squeeze a tube of toothpaste with my right wrist! My doctor made a referral to both the hand surgeon at Portsmouth Naval Hospital and also for occupational therapy. I was a little hesitant to start the occupational therapy before the hand surgeon diagnosed it, but figured I would give it a try. Am I glad I did! My hand was evaluated by Brooke Coley for both the wrist pain and the numbness in my thumb. She did numerous tests to get a baseline. She then came up with a plan to rehabilitate it over nine follow-on sessions. Both Brooke and two other OT personnel (Raven & Michelle) used ultrasound technology and cupping techniques to help heal the tissue and reduce inflammation. They also gave me numerous exercises to rehabilitate both my wrist and my thumb, some of which I could do at home. I'm happy to say after ten sessions with Adler Therapy Group, my wrist is almost back to normal. I can do side planks again on the affected wrist in yoga with minimal pain! I strongly recommend this group of professionals for your occupational therapy needs!

Kristen and Michal have vastly improved my quality of life. I started seeing Kristen for pain management, and she helped me learn how to manage and alleviate my muscle and joint pain. I came back to her for a damaged elbow tendon, and she and Michal helped me learn to manage that injury and alleviate the pain and swelling. I'm so grateful to have found them to work with.

Both my kids have switch from other therapy providers. Adler listens to both children’s needs, always willing to have parent involvement, and are excited for my children’s progress! Adler Suffolk has outstanding reception Tara who is always so friendly, happy to wait for my child to use his aac device to check in and always so helpful with scheduling. Hillary is an happy and helpful occupational therapist for both my children. Monique is a fabulous speech therapist who picked up on my child’s needs that I didn’t even know, she also is great with gestalt language process and we have seen so much progress in a short month with my nonverbal child! Nikki had been a great OT with food therapy for one of my child! She has taught so much to me the parent and she is so engaging with getting my child to participate! So glad we made the switch to Adler therapy Suffolk!

I have spent 2 days a week for the past several months visiting Niki and Sam and have enjoyed every visit. They listen to you when you say you need to work on certain tasks and they think “outside the box” to come up with exercises that meet your needs. The whole team is just that … a TEAM. From the minute you walk in the door you feel welcomed. The front desk is extremely pleasant and professional, the group in the therapy room are all pleasant and each interact with the client on a personal level - it is not just all business. Although one never plans on needing physical therapy, I can definitely say if I do again, I will be returning to Adler Therapy Group on Va Beach Blvd. I am glad I am done needing to go … but I am gonna miss going.

We cannot speak highly enough of Adler therapy group, specifically Kristyn Peters. My sister has complex medical issues and has made more progress doing OT with Kristyn than she has with any other treatment. Kristyn has gone above and beyond to offer the best treatment for Emily and we cannot recommend her enough.

Niki and Sam at the New Town office were the best physical therapists I’ve ever had. I came in because I thought my knees were bad but they quickly identified my issues were in the strength and stability of my hips. They worked steadily with me, encouraging me and challenging me to push myself each time I was here and when I went home. With their help, the weakness, swelling and even the clicking noises in my knees disappeared. Even the people at my work noticed the confidence in my stride these days. Thank you, Adler Therapy Group. You guys do amazing work!!!!

I had the best experience here at Adler Therapy. Savannah my OT has been amazing! She was a great listener when I told her about the problems with my arm and she found several ways to help me get better and taught me how to manage my pain very well. I was sad to leave Adler therapy, but happy that I am much better now. If you have the choice definitely choose here! And try to get Savannah if you can she is the best!!

My experience with Adler Therapy Group was nothing short of amazing. The staff is friendly, outgoing and informative. Kyle was my OT, he was enthusiastic and engaging about treatment/therapy. We set goals and a timeline and then exceeded them. Even though my sessions were challenging and at times difficult, he explained the exercises in away I felt confident to do them on my own too. I would absolutely recommend Kyle and the Adler team to everyone!
Kristin Edmonds in OT was wonderful!! I couldn't hardly use my wrist at all after I broke it and had surgery and I'm pretty much at 100% now! We bonded over cats and certain games, she's very easy to laugh with. 🙂

We have been clients of Adler Therapy Group for just about 3yrs now and recommend them to everyone who asks. As a mom of two daughters with autism, finding therapists that care deeply about my girls’ development, who want to be an active part of our medical team, and love them for who they are was important. We have found that here! When we moved from Virginia Beach to Suffolk I was worried about the transition. I shouldn’t have been. Alder’s incredible staff welcomed us into their new office with open arms and made us feel at home.Hillary, Matt, and Laura- y’all are the dream team! My girls wouldn’t be where they are today without all of your dedication. Thank you

Speech-Language Pathology

Speech-Language Pathologists will diagnose and treat various types of communication, swallowing and cognitive disorders.

In addition, Speech Therapy offers treatment to many speech/language disorders.

 

Our treatments include: Aphasia – A language disorder resulting from a deficit (e.g., stroke) in the left hemisphere of the brain. Dysarthria – Weakness of the oral musculature that causes various degrees of slurring of speech. Speech disorders resulting from progressive neurological diseases such as Parkinson’s. Deficits in thought processing and/or language. Dysphagia/oral feeding disorders – Difficulty in eating due to swallowing deficits. Articulation disorders include difficulties producing sounds in syllables or saying words incorrectly to the point that other people can’t understand what’s being said. Fluency disorders include problems such as stuttering, the condition in which the flow of speech is interrupted by abnormal stoppages, repetitions (st­st­stuttering), or prolonging sounds and syllables (ssssstuttering). Resonance or voice disorders include problems with the pitch, volume, or quality of the voice that distract listeners from what’s being said. These types of disorders may also cause pain or discomfort for the child when speaking. Language disorders can be either receptive or expressive: Receptive disorders refer to difficulties understanding or processing language. Expressive disorders include difficulty putting words together, limited vocabulary, or inability to use language in a socially appropriate way.

EARLY INTERVENTION | Birth to Age 3

If you’re concerned about your child’s development, you’re not alone. According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), 10-15% of preschool children in the United States experience developmental delays. While many developmental delays resolve without complications, research shows that early intervention is a critical factor for helping your child reach their full potential, and minimize complications related to concerns such as:

  • Why isn’t my baby talking?
  • Why isn’t my baby crawling?
  • Why is my toddler throwing a tantrum?
  • Why doesn’t my child respond to me?

Assessment of developmental delays involves a variety of care providers that will include your pediatrician as well as other specialists such as neurologists, behavioral specialists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech-language therapists, service coordinators, and educators. Getting started as early as possible is the first step in managing a developmental delay so as to prevent or get ahead of an emerging developmental disorder.

Wheelchair Clinic

Our clinic offers specialized evaluations to determine the individualized wheelchair needs of each and every client. Clients that are unable to ambulate either due to birth injury, developmental delay, traumatic injuries, disease process, or debilitation may require specialized mobility equipment. The Wheelchair Seating and Mobility Clinic at Adler Therapy Group helps clients of all ages find wheelchair and seating systems that optimize their mobility while ensuring safe and effective positioning, so they can participate fully in activities of daily living.

POSTURE EVALUATION

A posture evaluation will be performed to determine the flexibility of postural impairments. From there, we will recommend appropriate seating system options to address balance and improve posture. Measurements are also taken to make the wheelchair and seating system fit the individual.

PRESSURE MAPPING

A pressure mapping evaluation is performed to determine the most appropriate wheelchair cushion and back rest to maximize pressure distribution. This mapping system is an educational and assessment tool used to identify the areas of highest risk for skin breakdown and aids in the selection of a cushion and seating system to effectively redistribute pressures for each individual.

PROPER TRAINING

Wheelchair training to optimize function in multiple environments. We have access to a variety of terrain to simulate obstacles frequently encountered in a person’s typical environment. Options include grass, gravel, sloped sidewalks, curb cuts, and multiple height curbs.

OPTIMAL MOBILITY

A wheelchair evaluation is performed to determine the most efficient and functional means of mobility. Adler Therapy Group has a variety of manual and power wheelchairs from most manufacturers available for trial.  Adler Therapy Group also has a large variety of control systems that can be set up on a power wheelchair for evaluation and training someone to drive a power wheelchair. A functional evaluation will help to identify equipment that will allow each person the highest level of independence in transfers, weight shifts, and daily activities.
