Success Stories
My experience with Bernard has been all around great for physical therapy and my recovery back to a more active lifestyle. I came to Bernard after having tried another physical therapist and making minimal progress, as well as some personal trainers who were knowledgeable but unreliable. I had been dealing with hip, ankle and knee issues since May 2021, and have made more progress working with Bernard for the past 5-6 months than I did with the previous physical therapist and personal trainers combined. Within the first session alone I received new advice on clear next steps, lifestyle tips, and challenging but manageable exercises. Some particular details that have made it a great experience -
Scheduling/Communication: have never had any scheduling issues, responsive to emails when I've had questions or feedback on home exercises, responsive and adaptive to in-session feedback on exercises
Sessions: strength based sessions that make you feel capable again, tailored toward how your body feels that particular session, 1:1 session
Insurance: smooth process so far, any insurance logistics are settled upfront before starting your first session
Space: clean and spacious, good music or sports TV, everything you need for a good strength based physical therapy session
Home exercises: manageable and realistic for people trying to fit in home PT exercises into their daily lives

Bernard has been great to work with! I injured my ankle playing soccer and started doing PT with a generic provider for the first month. I did not feel like I had the individualized attention I needed to properly rehab so I started working with Bernard (reco'd from Atlantic Orthopedics). After just the first few sessions I felt much more confident in regaining my strength and range of motion. Bernard's approach was thoughtful and performance focused so that the drills we did would mimic scenarios in a real soccer game. I highly recommend Bernard!!

2 years ago I got 3 different injuries within a few months (elbow, groin, and calf). They all became chronic despite seeing 4 different PTs before Bernard. I'm a pretty active person and hadn't dealt with much injury until then, so was extremely surprised and dissapointed when they didn't heal after a month.
After 2 years I've finally become able to do heavy lifts (bench, squat, etc) all thanks to Bernard. Definitely the best PT I've ever been to (5th one now...) and getting the 1 on 1 sessions in his personal gym is amazing. I would've been so happy to have just one of these injuries go away, but after training with Bernard all 3 have been resolved. He's super friendly, helpful, and knows what he's doing. I 100% recommend going to StylexStrength to get your physical health right.

I have been working with Bernard for 3 months now, after suffering a fractured femur. Bernard is nothing less than brilliant - his knowledge of physiology and how how the body heals is boundless. He is patient and very kind, and knows exactly when to push me. He tailors our sessions to my needs and developments, and also tailors my at-home routine weekly. After fracturing or breaking a bone, one loses confidence as well as strength, and Bernard understands the importance of mind-body connection. The work is hard and also very fun and therefore extremely rewarding. I would never have been able to heal this well and this quickly without him. I would recommend him to absolutely everyone!

I’ve been living with chronic back pain for years, (due to herniated discs). I’ve had to cut back on activities I love. As an active person, I never felt like other physical therapists really internalized my goals beyond the immediate triage of pain and everyone defaulted to the same program and approach.
I had given up hope after working with 5-6 different PT specialists over the years and then saw Dr. Boakye’s— game changer.
My pain levels have dramatically decreased. Our combination of physical therapy and personal training has me feeling stronger than ever and I’m doing things pain free that I didn’t think were an option for me anymore.
Plus, Dr. Boakye has the ability to read exactly how much energy and force you have in you. He’s astute at reading how hard to push you and when to help you back off.
I don’t panic when I drop things on the floor and have to pick them up. I can sleep without pain interfering and I’m getting back to activities I love.
Like I said, living with less pain and more strength: game changer
