Client Testimonials

"I’ve been dealing with nagging shoulder pain for almost a year, and after working with Alex, I finally feel like I’m on the right track. I feel so much stronger and the pain has subsided. He didn’t just treat the symptoms but focused on the root cause and introduced stabilizing exercises I had neglected for years. He made a huge difference in my recovery and overall strength that I couldn't get through trying other therapies. Highly recommend for anyone looking to move and feel better."

"I have been dealing with limited shoulder mobility and pain for almost a year. In addition I recently pulled my back. I was fortunately introduced to Alex soon after my back injury and not only is my back pain gone and I am mobile, but we started rehabbing my shoulder and I am now starting to lift again! I am 51 years old and want to fight this aging process as much as I can . Alex is able to recognize that and safely move me forward in a strength program while protecting my joints & bones."

C. Dill - Client
"I pulled muscles in my neck trying to pick up my daughter (she pulled one way, I went the other!) and was experiencing dull & shooting pain for about a week. I spoke to a few trusted colleagues of mine that recommended going to Alex to get to the root of the issue. From the beginning he listened to everything I was describing when it came to the pain throughout the day. He walked me through his plan of care and checked in at all times to make sure I was OK. I also really appreciated his well rounded approach - stretching, dry needling and strength training - to find mobility back in my neck. Highly recommend Alex and his practice!"

"I’ve been seeing Alex for about a month now and I can already tell a huge difference in my strength and ability to take on new challenges. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable, but he is also a great motivator and beyond professional while making workouts fun. He breaks down each exercise for you and makes it easy to maintain a regimen outside of weekly sessions, which is key! Anyone who has struggled with chronic injuries or pain should make it a priority to see Alex, he’s fantastic!"

Brittany C. - Client
"I was experiencing shoulder pain and weakness for months. Dr Alex spent focused, 1:1 time doing a full assessment and then deep tissue work, along with dry needling, to help improve the identified issue. The best part for me was the additional time he dedicated to making sure I understood everything he was saying with the problem area, as well as showing me exercises I can do at home to improve the issue. He even had me practice each move to make sure I understood and could replicate on my own. Super attentive and supportive, so knowledgeable and helpful. I learned so much and I’m grateful for the peace of mind, armed with a path forward to recovery!"
