TESTIMONIALS

"Thank you, Alyssa, for your help with my back issues! Your patience in assessing the issue, explaining both what you were doing and what you were finding, was very calming. It is so helpful understanding why I was having the pain, and how the exercises and stretches you prescribed would help. The body work you performed was a jumpstart on my healing process. I wouldn’t go to anyone else!"

"After 2 years of increasing leg pain, loss of balance, inability to walk on uneven ground or stand in one place for more than a minute; I made an appointment with my orthopedic surgeon to see about a hip replacement. He gave me a thorough exam and said that my hips were fine, but I had a damaged nerve in my spine. The surgeon said that surgery wasn't a good option for that type of damage and suggested physical therapy instead."

"I had known Alyssa before she began her new practice, and searched for her whereabouts when I had a sore shoulder. My pain was minimal and intermittent, a far better time to ask for help then waiting for chronic debilitating pain. Alyssa educated and supported me back to wellness. She listened and asked questions to treat my body as a whole and not just isolate my shoulder. I learned that my sleeping position contributed to my shoulder pain and modified as much as possible. I began CORE exercises to strengthen and support, exercises that I had initially thought were "too easy." I learned to do my exercises slowly and with purpose, not just to get finished. Most of all I learned to integrate what I had known and what I learned to move in a functional and painfree way. Alyssa and I laughed together when an explanation supported "brain body synergy", a perfect name for her practice. Thank you, Alyssa!"

"Alyssa's professional, caring and knowledgeable approach is what got me back to feeling confident and strong after excruciating lower back pain that radiated down my left leg into my foot. The pain and debilitation left me feeling miserable after a fall. She taught me how to use my core, instead of my back for gardening, biking and all the activities I enjoy. I full heartedly recommend Alyssa when you need physical therapy to get the quality of your life back!"

"I am 79 years old, and generally speaking in good health, but I would say that physically I am fit but not the Fred Astaire type. I have discomfort in walking and bending. I have been seeing Alyssa at Brain Body Synergy. After our workout I feel like I am walking on air! She designs the workout to address issues with balance, tight muscles and tendons, and general mind-body coordination. She has a number of little reminders such as “motion is lotion”, that have become a general part of my everyday life and help me to keep track of my posture, balance, and general appearance. Her hands-on approach is light years ahead of the usual PT organization. I would highly recommend Alyssa before seeing anyone else when you feel stiff and physical discomfort."

"When we first met (2017?), I was in a lot of pain from whiplash. You quickly learned that I had almost a lifetime of issues going back to childhood. I say I grew up in a hospital because of the tests, scans, MRI, treatments and meds. Nothing worked! PT never worked or not for long. One person helped a bit with an exercise routine but it wasn't manageable so it didn't become a habit. I went through life suffering in pain and learning to live with it. Chronic pain and then insomnia can just make everything feel worse. I had this constant feeling of floating, just barely above water. Then my car was hit. I can't erase that day because as bad as it was.....it led me to you! What you've taught me: How to stand to avoid pain. How to relieve pain with simple stretches throughout the day that I can do anywhere. That planks are really my best friend!!! Who would have known that these could be the answer! You never gave up on me when I'd confess that I didn't do my "homework" as often as I should. You always encouraged me. Our conversations lifted me up from a really hard place and I can't thank you enough. I was lucky to survive a severe injury at age 16. Who knew how hard the next thirty years would be. There was love and joy, but isolation and secrets. I couldn't really tell people how hard it was just getting through my days. I was taking Motrin like candy. I can't even remember the last time I took Motrin or anything for pain. I realize I can slip back if I don't do the PT, but I know it's possible to have a normal life again. I have found my own ability to help myself, and maybe that is the greatest gift. Thank you for giving me a normal life again."

"A Fantastic Experience.
I recently had an injury that was causing me pain; decreasing my mobilty and ability to work. Being a physical therapist myself, I was looking for someone with experience, knowledge and the ability to treat my whole person.
Alyssa and Brian Body Synergy was just what I needed! She made me feel comfortable and at ease from the moment I walked in the door.
She took the time to listen to my concerns and understand what I was feeling and experiencing. With her amazing healing hands, she guided me through a series of movements, assisting me to increase my own awareness and helping me to connect my mind and body. Best of all, after leaving the treatment table I could already feel the difference!
She provided me with a simple sustainable home exercise program and gave me the tools to continue the path forward and I remain pain free today!
Thanks to my physical therapist's expertise and guidance, I was able to make significant progress in my recovery and regain my strength and mobility. I am truly grateful for her dedication and commitment.
In short, if you're looking for a physical therapist who is knowledgeable, skilled, compassionate, and committed to your success, I highly recommend working with Alyssa and Brain Body Synergy. She truly made a difference in my life, and I'm confident that she can do the same for you! "
