I had some chronic back pain that was lingering for months and I wasn't making any progress. I was just modifying my exercise routine to avoid pain but still dealing with day-to-day discomfort. Even sitting for an hour or two would aggravate my back. I would dread long car rides/flights and worry about experiencing another setback at the gym.
Working with Dr. Angela has been extremely effective for me. I did six sessions spread out over a few months, but really by the first couple times we met she had identified what was happening and given me a basic plan. She's an excellent communicator, very organized, and employs a variety of techniques. Within a few weeks I could see a positive trajectory and felt some control over the injury.
At this point I'm pain free, I understand the nature of my problem better, and I have a great toolkit for making progress toward heavier lifting while addressing any issues that come up.
I couldn't recommend Angela more highly. It's great to get this level of care, scheduling has been super easy, and the results have been a huge quality of life improvement for me.
I saw Angela twice for pain in my right knee. I’ve played competitive ultimate frisbee for over 20 years and have typically been able to identify and rehab the injuries I get. This injury was different - I got pain/stiffness when I ran and muscular instability when I jumped. I couldn’t run or train my legs at all. In our first session, Angela very quickly diagnosed me with meniscus irritation and gave me a great set of exercises, including some customized for me, to get me back on the field. The main focus was strength and stability. 3 weeks later I returned feeling stronger and Angela had prepared an entirely new set of exercises for me that were very sports-movement specific. I’m now about two months since my injury and got on the field again for the first time last Thursday; I had no setbacks! Angela did a great job guiding my recovery - she is very knowledgeable and clearly puts a lot of time and effort into her work. Plus she was able to see me within a week, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend her! Thank you, Angela!
