I’ve been a patient of Sophie Silver since November of 2024. She is an awesome physical therapist. I had a spur on my Achilles. After about three months, I could feel the improvement in my walk and a lessening in the pain I experienced. Unfortunately, I caught the flu in February and it took me two months to recover, so I had to start over, but we’ve re-evaluated where I am and have a plan to move forward. I’m ready for a summer of rejuvenation, repair and recovery.

Love this place! I had some issues with my knee and shoulder from old sports injuries. Started seeing Emily G. and my knee pain is completely resolved. I can fly on a plane and sit in a car for hours and be pain free. I'm back to doing weighted squats with no issues. I've seen remarkable improvements in my shoulder pain, stability and my range of motion. And everybody there is hella friendly. They got my body feeling like it's the early 2000's again.

FX has been great for me! I first came for shoulder pain caused by arthritis, a bone spur, and bursitis. I stayed for plantar fasciitis and an ankle sprain! Sophie Silver (PT, DPT) helped me immensely with pain, giving me the tools and learning to continue exercises at home so I won’t have the same problems again. I will be forever thankful and appreciative.
Thanks Sophie!
Thanks Sophie!

I would like to thank the FX Physical Therapy - Downtown Baltimore staff for helping me to work towards recovering from shoulder surgery these past few months. Doctors’ Kira Zarzuela and Emily Garguilo have done an excellent job of incorporating a great therapeutic program that has help me increase the strength and mobility in my once unstable shoulder, which seems to be getting better day by day.
It’s truly an amazing atmosphere; everyone is so nice, respectful, caring, and attentive that I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and efficient physical therapy services - “It's not just rehab, it's a journey to a new lifestyle!”

I did have reservations when my doctor suggested physical therapy to help my lower back issues. But after working with Sophie Silver for several weeks, I definitely am feeling much better. We worked on back stabilization exercises to solve the problem. I would recommend her and in general, FX physical therapy in downtown Baltimore.

All of the folks at FX have been amazing and incredibly helpful. I came in dealing with lower back pain, that Emily was able to help me get over and since then we’ve been working on plantar fasciitis along with long-term knee and ankle issues. I’ve seen a lot of progress and am now coming less frequently as a preventative measure. In addition to the mobilization, stretches, and work in the gym they have given me work I can do outside to make further progress. While I’ve worked mostly with Emily Garguilo (amazing), I have also worked with most of the other staff (Sophie, Kira, Matt, etc.) and they’ve all been great. Definitely deserve all five stars, if not more.

Matt and the team at FX are the BEST in the business and I’ve been to a lot of PT’s. They take the time to really understand your symptoms and then develop unique and customized treatment plans that include solutions for at-home care. And they’re just the nicest set of folks you’ll ever encounter. Wish I could give ten stars! Thank you!

FX physical therapy is wonderful. Sophie worked with me to address my back and Achilles pain. The back pain was gone after one appointment and the Achilles is on track for recovery!

I had the pleasure of working with Sophie Silver, PT at the recommendation of my podiatrist after a severe injury to my ankle. I had never been to PT before and was nervous about it.
However, in our first session, my anxieties were instantly relieved. After discussing my personal physical fitness goals and how my ankle was limiting my ability to achieve them, Sophie crafted a personalized plan for me that met my needs and was flexible to my schedule.
Each session I felt like I was learning new things, I felt supported as I fumbled my way through various exercises, and I felt like I was being pushed to my limits. Slowly, we began to see progress, and after about 2-3 months, not only is my ankle better but so is my strength and mobility across my entire legs and core. I went from not being able to balance on one foot on solid ground to doing so easily on an unstable surface while catching and throwing balls.
A big thank you to Sophie and all the staff at FX Physical Therapy that made this experience possible!! I highly recommend anyone reading this sign up for an initial evaluation session!

Currently under the care of Dr. Emily Garguilo and could not be happier. When I first started seeing Dr. Emily I was struggling with my daily chores due to a frozen shoulder. My health improvements under Dr. Emily’s care have truly been transformational. Quality of life is much improved!! I am now an active gym member at the downtown FX Studio. The gym setting is something to behold btw. My outdoor activities (biking, golfing etc.) have been given a definite boost. Dr. Emily is a very compassionate and caring health care professional with great insight and knowledge.

Sophie is the absolute best!!! Couldn’t recommend going to her more she completely rehabbed my shoulder and now the formally injured one is stronger than my other. Also the gym is in an old bank which is cool as hell.

So thankful for Kira at FX physical therapy. I had debilitating lower back pain for several months. Tried a chiropractor for a while that didn’t help much. My doctor recommended physical therapy and it helped me so much. I am now able to walk long distances without pain, no medication needed and I’ve been given the tools to continue working on it after ‘graduating’ from the physical therapy program. Very happy with the results and still do my exercises to this day. Highly recommend! Kira was very helpful to my specific problem and knew exactly what to do to help me after many unsuccessful attempts elsewhere. I will say you have to committed to your homework outside of treatment.

I've been working with Kira for over a month now after a full tear of my ACL. My first ortho was very dismissive of my symptoms and said nothing was seriously wrong with my knee. From the first session Kira has been my number one advocate fighting for me to receive an MRI and for me to see an ortho/ortho surgeon. She directly contacted different ortho offices and kept up full communication during this process. She has matched my PT treatments to my needs while giving me the encouragement to hit my pre-op goals. I seriously don't know if I could have achieved this level of independence without everything Kira has done. If you are facing an injury and want a supportive team, seriously consider coming here.

I've been seeing Emily Garguilo since spring 2023, initially for some instability issues while running, but that quickly changed to preparing for surgery for a torn meniscus. Emily is very knowledgeable and gave me all the tools to have a successful recovery period post surgery. She made sure to constantly check on my progress, adjusting any therapies and assessments as needed based on my individual progress. I am happy to say that with Emily's support and treatments, I am about 9 months post surgery and already back out playing sports and starting a half-marathon training program! I highly recommend FX Physical Therapy and will only go there for my PT needs moving forward.

I’ve had PT several times in my life and I had little good to say about any of them. Have you ever gone and they have you bouncing on one of those big inflatable balls pulling on the elastic strands maybe some electro stem and if it’s done by a chiropractor some adjustments? That, I’ve leavened since coming here, was a joke and a half. I did have a great chiropractor who also did physical therapy, but he didn’t take insurance. With this problem I knew that I was gonna have to come in quite a bit. My lower back was bothering me. My knees were giving out on me and at 52 I didn’t want to be falling apart this soon. I am already a member of the UA Performance Center downtown where I have my personal trading (Fred Johnson is the man). He recommended that I try the physical therapy office in the gym. So first thing to tell you is they are all about science and stats. I have learned so many different exercises and we have pretty much solved. The problem I came in on and On stretch therapy because I’m so tight that it’s dangerous. What is great is that you have a discount at the gym as for being a client and they take you out into the gym to show you exercises you can do there. You get one on one attention here you’re not stuck behind a curtain along with six other people. Give this place a shot. You be glad you did and so will whatever ails you!

I've been receiving treatment at FX Physical Therapy in downtown Baltimore since November for a femoral nerve injury from volleyball and a torn labrum in my shoulder. I can't praise Emily (and her intern Sophie) enough for their exceptional care and dedication.
From the beginning, scheduling appointments has been a breeze, which is incredibly convenient! Emily and Sophie focus entirely on your wellbeing during each session, ensuring that every issue is addressed with utmost professionalism and genuine care.
When I first started, I could barely walk due to my injuries. Thanks to their expertise and tailored treatment plans, I have progressed significantly and am now back to jogging! Their commitment to my recovery has been unwavering, and I genuinely appreciate the personalized attention they give to each patient.
If you're in need of physical therapy, especially for sports-related injuries, I highly recommend FX Physical Therapy. Emily and Sophie have truly made a difference in my recovery journey!

Shout out to Faith Reily who is helping alleviate my foot pain from plantar faciaitis and helping my foot be more resilient to reoccurring injury. The new FX PT Canton location is a much needed addition to the neighborhood as few other places specialize in hands on therapy. I especially like that each session is one on one, as opposed to other facilities where the PT is managing multiple patients simultaneously. If you’re looking for quality care, this is the place!

Have had issues with this company’s billing practices since I got care In the Downtown Baltimore location. Care was excellent, but they have been charging me different amounts for the span of a year. (First bill was in May 2023, months after getting care, last bill received in October both paid in Full)
First I paid and emailed Caitlin Felice, Business Manager who assured me the account was at $0, months later received another bill for more than $100, paid again in full.
Surprise surprise today I got an email from a collections agency on their behalf for $33 dollars!!! I just paid it again, but be aware their billing department is a big mess!
beware of this company!!

I have been seeing Emily Garguilo for a running injury. From the first day I came to FX Physical Therapy, it was clear that this is not your typical factory PT clinic. Emily was very attentive, kind, and knew how to treat my injury. I am back running with better strength than before. Thank you Emily and the FX PT team, you are very special to me.

I came to FX after leaving another physical therapy practice for my full knee replacement. Changing to FX was the best decision I could have ever made. I worked with Emily and she was the BEST. We quickly built a rapport, and she pushed me effectively to get me back into shape. While she was knowledgeable and creative, what really drew me in was her personality. She always remembered our previous conversations and would always pick up where we left off. Our sessions went by like a breeze and Emily always added extra "pep" in her talk during the harder moments. I highly recommend FX Physical Therapy and if you get Emily, I can attest you're in great hands!

I have been going to FX Physical Therapy for the past 8 months and it has been an amazing experience across-the-board. Marquis is incredibly knowledgeable and very passionate about what he does. For me, it has been great working with someone who understands the mind and body of an athlete and what it takes to get back onto the field after a major injury. The front desk staff is also wonderful!

The facility has great staff who are really friendly and flexible. Emily, in particular has been my PT for a few months to help with my post-surgery wrist rehab. She is very knowledgable, super helpful and highly talented at her job. My experience with her has been great and I have regained most of my wrist movement and strength all thanks to her!

Being in my 70's, like many my age, have trouble with arthritis. My doctor recommended Physical therapy. My Physical therapist Emily is extremely patient and encouraging. She has gotten me to do different exercises, which has increased my mobility. Walking has become amazingly less stressfuly, more pleasurable. My knees are grateful.

I have been going to PT here for the last 2 months consistently and have had a great experience seeing Emily & Faith who are both super knowledgeable. I came in with so much pain just walking and am now able to run comfortably. Everyone who works there is personable and friendly. It’s very easy to make appointments and the gym/access to equipment is great! I plan to continue coming here for all my PT needs.

I don't have a lot of experience with PT but boy do I understand quality now that I've been in the hands of Emily and Faith at FX Studios intensively for three months. The care for both body and mind is front and center, nothing is tedious, no one is boring and I feel completely safe and in good hands. The facilities are of course excellent in that the entire gym can be utilized and front desk Stephanie responds within seconds to schedule changes and insurance questions. Top notch care. I couldn't possibly recommend Emily and Faith more.

My journey with the FX Physical therapy location on Light Street has been fabulous so far. Marquis S. Has been awesome....

I am 57 years old and was dealing with back and neck/shoulder pain 4 years post lumbar and cervical spine surgery. During COVID, I started physical therapy at FX Physical Therapy downtown with Jessica. Similar to other reviews about this special provider, I experienced personal attention, compassion and care from an informed, consummate professional. She was detailed and patient correcting my form until I had the exercises down that she assigned me making sure I would do them in the best way that would benefit me. I highly recommend her. Additionally, the entire team were welcoming and well versed in their roles.

Summer of 2021 I started training for my first marathon and early on started dealing with knee pain. I came to FX PT based on a recommendation from a friend and it was easily the best decision I made in my running journey. Jessica was not only extremely knowledgeable and professional about running injuries, she was so pleasant and showed genuine interest in what was going on. The day of my marathon she sent the most heartfelt encouraging message and has followed up with me on social media checking in! When I start training again this summer I'll surely be back for preventative work! I can't sing enough of their praises!

I had an excellent experience @ FX physical Therapy w/my trainer Jess, she is the best! We had one on one sessions, she was extremely attentive & involved through every step of my recovery. Since then I’ve moved Florida and continued physical therapy at multiple different gyms/centers and have not been able to find anything close to the quality of care I received @ FX downtown Baltimore w/Jess. Highly recommend to anyone serious about physical rehabilitation. Thanks Jess

I came to FX based off a recommendation from a friends that is an extensive runner. I’d seen miracles worked for her but never knew the secret sauce to her growth and evolution as an athlete. The day she introduced me to FX Physical Therapy… she gave me the secret sauce! During the pandemic, I had exponential growth in cycling going from a casual rider to someone who puts up 150-200 miles a week. The aches and pains that come along with that type of activity are best addressed with someone who understands the body and can cater a specific regiment to help you perform at your best. For me, Faith has been an essential part of my support team! I’ve also recommended friends who’ve used other PTs at FX and had success! I highly recommend this place if you too want the secret sauce to your best physical health.

I am so grateful that I stumbled upon Faith after a group run where she was offering free post run evaluations. I knew I needed to go to PT in preparation for the half marathon I was going to run in a few months but I was worried that my insurance plan wouldn’t cover it. She shared some ideas as to why I was experiencing pain and suggested I call her office and they would let me know what would be covered and what I could expect to pay out of pocket. I did and thankfully it turned out I could afford the weekly sessions, because I now realize that my body couldn’t afford not to go!
I have been going to Faith for two months and I know that if I hadn’t gone once a week I would not have completed the Baltimore half marathon and I wouldn’t be where I want to be with my running practice. Faith is highly skilled at her job and also such an enjoyable person to spend 45 minutes with that you don’t mind pushing the sled across the room or getting stuck with needles. She has taught me so much about my body and ways to take care of it and be a better runner. And maybe more importantly, she holds me accountable to my at home exercises and is very encouraging and supportive.
I highly recommend Faith and FX Physical Therapy.

I have been working with the therapists here for two years now after an ACL surgery. I have worked with Jess and Faith. They have been excellent!
