    "Maggie is incredibly skilled and so great to work with! Her therapy techniques provided me significant relief from endometriosis pain that I’ve had for 20 years (I still can’t believe it!). Everyone at the office is so genuine, friendly, and welcoming. I’d highly recommend TruWell to anyone and everyone!"

    "At my age (70+), needless to say I've had the need for physical therapy more than once in my lifetime--the latest/last one for chronic neck/shoulder pain complicated by daily migraines. After a previous PT center was unable to help me, discontinued my sessions, and referred me back to my neurologist, thank goodness a relative recommended TruWell Physical Therapy. TruWell was the only center where I found therapists (each of them, Maggie, Sara, Tracey, and Traci) who had the ability, knowledge and experience to address craniosacral therapy. When I arrived at TruWell, I was broken; I had been awakening every morning, 3, 4, 5 a.m., for six weeks with the worst migraine and neck pain I've ever experienced. After 16 sessions where I received personalized, one-on-one attention and support, including dry needling with e-stim, manual therapy, and specific exercises, I am happy to say, I was able to discontinue my sessions myself and am painfree still, a few months later!

    "Maggie is a great PT ! Worked with her for month strengthening my shoulder prior to surgery. She was very upbeat and positive and made it easy to complete the exercises. I will be going back after surgery to do the recovery exercises with them."

    "TruWell was great, I worked with Sara who was very nice and ended up getting me rehabbed way faster than expected. The place was always clean and they were always willing to work with me on dates that I needed and things I needed to schedule around. Brian, the guy who runs the front desk was very nice and helpful as well. Would definitely go back to TruWell if I ever had to."

    "Initially I worked wth Sara Hayes and she was easy to work with and implemented a great regimen to strengthen my right leg & hip. Traci substituted when Sara was unable to work with me and she was a demanding yet understanding and kind physical therapist who offered some additional exercises to help me. I highly recommend both of these young ladies."

    "I was very happy with TruWell. I had followed the owner there from a previous PT business but ended up working with a different therapist, who was excellent. TruWell has a very friendly but professional atmosphere -- you never feel like you're being processed. And at least for me, the results were excellent. "
