Dry needling is already making a huge difference after years of trying to get rid of trigger points with other methods and other therapists. She really knows what she is doing. Great results so far.

Fotis is really a great PT! He is extremely professional and loves what he does. He listens to me and comes up with different exercises based on my ability. Always has a smile on his face and makes the session very pleasant. He is quick to point out milestones and celebrates my accomplishments. I always feel better after a session!
