Sought treatment for nerve pain/discomfort in my left leg which was beginning to impact my daily life. a Myelogram and CT showed my spine to be without any major defect. Introductory consultation with Kathleen was thorough as we reviewed test reports/images and history of the pain as well as an evaluation of my mobility. We agreed to a treatment plan involving active release techniques, targeted stretches and strengthening exercises. The plan showed positive results after every session. The program was modified along the way to address discoveries such as lingering weakness lack of mobility in left foot/ankle. This was the absolute best PT experience I have ever had. Kathleen has a deep knowledge of the muscular and skeletal systems and does a great job communicating that knowledge. I left each session with manageable action items, to be conducted between sessions, as well as cues about small things to be aware of or changes to make in my daily life to reduce nerve irritation/impingement. The multi faceted therapy was spot-on and after about 6 weeks I feel no restrictions in my daily life or activities.
