Dr.

I am the father of a young man with autism, intellectual disabilities, and cerebral palsy. The latter results in stiff muscles and issues of balance for which he receives physical therapy. The former two limit his ability to communicate. Petya has been absolutely fantastic with him. She gets along with him very well and he very much looks forward to going to his physical therapy sessions. While the physical therapy can't resolve these issues, they do tremendously strengthen his ability to cope with them. Petya's ability to interact with my son and her empathy are exceptional, and I would fully expect that it would be the same for any other people with special needs. I have also benefited from her services in the past, always finding her to be very kind, effective, and skilled. I could not recommend her more highly.

I recommend Petya 100%. Our teenage son who is an athlete had recurring knee and ankle pain/injuries. We tried foam rolling, stretching, massage, acupuncture, dry needling which provided temporary relief and were told that his injuries were due to overuse. We went to Petya who took the time to do a comprehensive assessment, identified the cause, and gave my son exercises and stretches. His pain/injuries stopped after a couple of weeks. Petya also recommended that he continue with a trainer. My son plays more now than when he was constantly in pain and getting injured but has had no injuries and does not complain about pain like he used to.
