I went to Michele with a vexing pain in the neck and upper back. I had had a similar problem, on and off, for many years, but it had gotten worse and I wanted to get it resolved. I had seen several other physical therapists without success. My experience with Michele was very different from the other PTs I had seen. The first thing one notices is how carefully she thinks through a problem. Michele listened very closely to what I was telling her, she asked me tons of questions, and she was extraordinarily insightful about how the body works -- or doesn’t. As just one example, she linked a tight neck to a stuttering issue that I have had, which no one in my entire life had done. Her “hands on” work is eclectic and careful and effective. I never had the feeling she was doing “the usual” treatment. And, much to my delight, she explains the treatment she is providing and why, so that the treatments make sense to me. My neck and back are in good shape now. I have strongly recommended her several times to friends.
