Active Care in Dover is a great choice for anyone requiring physical therapy after a surgery or injury . Very knowledgeable and friendly staff who all go out of their way to assist you with your recovery. Big shout outs to Vin and Chris for always being there and really caring about your healing process. All of their assistants provide excellent care throughout each and every session. I highly recommend this professional and courteous staff to anyone in need of physical therapy.

The front desk folks are wonderful. However I came in with back pain caused by a lumbar herniated disc. After my 4th session I came out in extreme pain, feeling as if the disc had herniated further. Before going in I could walk with a little pain, now I can barely stand up (even 3 days after my appointment). Definitely avoid this place if you have back trouble.

They make you feel like a family. Everyone knows your name, your pt program and try to assist you from day one. Very professionally managed and still have that personal touch - literally.

If you are seeking for real professionals than this is the place to be. They are very attentive, great customer service and very knowledgeable doctors. I had low back issue and after every session I felt real relieve and overall feeling so much better now. Prices also very affordable.

I came to Karena about 2 months ago with a significant back problem I understand that it was a sciatic nerve episode.
She was able to immediately diagnose what was the problem and work on the spot to alleviate my significant pain. Words cannot really describe how much better I felt after just one visit.
I have been going to her office about twice a week for the past 2 months and am significantly better now. Her staff is amazing. I know that I am in good hands when I am at her office.
In highly recommend her and her staff if you have some issues relating to pain or rehab of an injury.

Karena is super knowledgeable and professional. She helped me with my vertigo through in one session. I knew I was in good hands from the very beginning of the session.

Dr Kelly Picciurro is a miracle worker. I came in with severe neck and back pain. She listened attentively and had it fully resolved in a matter of minutes. Reception and office staff were professional and polite. Highly recommended.

I was diagnosed with low back pain and was recommended physical therapy. I looked at the reviews and found ActiveCare Physical Therapy. I was evaluated and treated by Dr. Karena Wu. She not only did manual therapy but also walked me through the root cause of my condition. I saw impressive results right after the first session. A home exercise program was given to me on a Day 1 as well. After finishing my sessions with her, I have no low back pain and I feel stronger.
I would highly recommend this facility. The office is clean and well lit. The entire staff was friendly and professional. Overall, I had a great experience with Activecare!

Karena and company are the bomb! I had a total ACL reconstruction and after months of rehab with another PT I just wasn't feeling the way I thought I should in terms of strength and mobility. I then visited Karena and was taken on a completely different path of rehab and just two months later, my knee was feeling stronger than ever! I am now back playing hockey and tennis with more confidence than ever in my body. Thanks Karena for not making me not have to take up golf just yet! :-) YOU ROCK!

After a devastating knee fracture I thought I may never walk again; or at least not well. The care I received from the team at ActiveCare, and especially Dr. Wu, was phenomenal. They recognized both my emotional as well as my physical state. I was pushed, gently, to achieve range of motion, and ultimately recovery. I can now walk without a noticeable limp, or even much change to my gait. My pain is all-but gone. I could not be happier with the result, and could not be happier with the treatment I received.

After suffering a knee injury my goal was to get back to normal as quickly as possible. As a doctor who spends a lot of time on his feet and who is very active exercising and playing sports this is extremely important to me. Karena was able get me back out there. Her knowledge and understanding are outstanding and I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Throughout my life I have sustained multiple shoulder injuries by way of sports, or from work. I have received physical therapy prescriptions and have been treated at many physical therapy clinics throughout the city.
Active Care Physical Therapy has provided me with the best treatment and care out of all the clinics I have worked with by far. The entire staff is knowledgeable, kind, and considerate. The actual physical therapist's are attentive and knowledgeable. They curate a specific treatment plan for your injury based on your medical needs and personal goals. Throughout the entire healing process. Chutima and Kelly (the two physical therapist's I have worked with) both have been instrumental to my recovery. Each session is different from the last and my treatment and exercises are based on my progress and feedback. The other three sites I have received physical therapy treatment from can not compare to Active Care. Every other site I received Physical Therapy from seemed to treat me based off of a checklist and not my actual progress or response. Active Care is superior in their ability to be so in tune with your injury and whats going on with your body. Thank You Active Care !

I found Karina's practice via google in a desperate attempt to fix my 4 year old shoulder pain. I've been suffering for more than 4 years. Been in and out of pain management, PT, steroids and acupuncture.
From the beginning Karina knew my concerns and aim. After a couple of weeks of PT not working effectively, she recommended I see a surgeon. I had my own in mind, but he also recommended hers. After evaluating both, I opted to go with hers. Good choice!
I scheduled surgery in April 2016. She asked whether she could observe and mentioned that she has done this before with certain cases. I guess it's because her PT didn't work and probably wanted to find out what actually was the reason and will know how to treat the recovery going forward. She was there for my 7:30 AM surgery, stayed till the end. It helped that she was there because she knew what was wrong. Speaking about going above and beyond, she definitely did.
I think the most positive experience is that Karina was constantly looking for new methods to get me fixed up and is always available to provide support. The one-on-one hands-on attention is so refreshing. The individual attention makes it easier to address the problems and have discussions on treatment options.
The only draw back was she was in such high demand and always traveling. I was left in the hands of her other capable PTs. She was upfront about recovery times, what was expected and a treatment plan. My last phase of recovery was interrupted with a trip abroad. She provided me with the necessary tools to keep on recovering. She checked in till the end. She was spot on how long it would take for recovery, have full ROM, strength, functionality and healing - 8 months. It was a tough road, but I'm glad I pushed through. Training for the NYC Marathon already.
I'd definitely recommend this modern PT place and Karina and her staff. Very professional and worked with my insurance plan.

I'm so glad I was able to find such a wonderful ActiveCare Physical Therapy Clinic! PTS were
wonderful: they gave me guidance that I needed to easy my shoulder pain, understand the cause of
pain and future prevention. Very knowledgeable assistants guided me through exercises. They gave
me a program that I am able to do in gym or at home to keep my muscles strong, live pain free, and
helps me from re-injuring my shoulder.
I would definitely recommend all my friends to this clinic!

Karena is quite possibly the best in the business. More than being a great physical therapist, she has an amazing understanding of the human anatomy and how everything works. She is extremely nice and will take the time to explain everything to you so you can truly grasp what is going on with your body. Super polite, super honest and super patient. Five stars is not enough....
