Testimonials

“Dear Laura, you are a great healer!  You have great expertise and knowledge that you utilize to heal your patients.  When I fifrst saw you I was in severe pain, after one session of treatment with you, the pain was reduced to 50%, then after the second session most of the pain was gone.  All the pain killers that I took could not provide the relief I enjoyed after one session with you.   Moreover, your lovely personality made me feel comfortable and relaxed during the session, it also helps me remember your recommendations to improve my neck and back injury and prevent future injury.  I would like to thank you for the wonderful work that you have been doing with me and I wish you all the best.”

“Dear Laura, I just have to tell you how incredible you are!! I entered your office yesterday hoping for, at most, a little bit of relief and I walked out an hour later like a new, liberated person. I could hardly believe it and it’s now the evening of the following day and I am still pain free! Yipee!
I always knew you were good at what you do, but now I am in awe. I was at my wits end not knowing where to go and so nervous about going into the upcoming foot surgery with such a hurting back. As long as you’re there, I’m much calmer about what’s ahead. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! I’ve been to a lot of physical therapists but not one even came close to what you are. You are constantly studying, learning, looking for answers to your patient’s problems and taking such a sensible approach to each problem. Let me know how you think I should proceed to keep myself loose and out of spasm. And thank you again and again.”

“Laura offers life changing therapy to ease chronic and acute pain. She provides hands on therapy using techniques suited to your needs. No more cookie cutter physical therapy!”

“I have been having back pain since being in a car accident four years ago and have sought treatment from several people. None of them were able to have the instant impact that Laura had in just a few treatments. Her hands-on approach got right at the issue and has helped me tremendously. I would heartily recommend her!”

“Laura has been my go-to body work expert for 6 years. Her ability to reduce pain and restore mobility with light touch (craniosacral) therapy is nothing short of amazing. She is a very creative problem solver and has used many techniques to help get my muscles out of spasm/body parts in alignment so I can get back to my normal activities quickly. She draws on a wide set of resources to illustrate and teach exercises, body mechanics, and stretches you do on your own to maintain your good result. She plans, is organized and runs an on-time, very professional office. She is also an extremely gracious, engaging, pleasant person.”
Noreen M.

“Laura has been treating me for cervical dystonia/spasmodic torticollis. Although there is no cure for this movement disorder, she has reduced my pain tremendously (from multiple involuntary muscle spasms that turn normally flexible muscles into rigid immovable lumps) which has greatly improved my quality of life. She is the most caring, innovative, and helpful physical therapist I have ever seen. I would pass up appointments with other physical therapists because it was usually a waste of my time. I even followed Laura to Rockville, MD where her new practice is located from McLean, VA and I live in Virginia. To travel across the river on the beltway sometimes in horrible traffic, speaks very highly of her skills, dedication, knowledge and expertise in physical therapy. Laura is constantly improving her skills by taking classes in many different modalities to help her clients. I advise all my friends to go see her.”

“I have been in physical therapy since 2002 for upper back and sacroiliac pain. When I met Laura I was skeptical at first because she didn’t do anything similar to my four prior physical therapists. Then I realized that I left the other therapists because it wasn’t working. Laura started by giving me one specific exercise which greatly reduced my SI pain. Laura has still not done one thing the same, nor give me an exercise/stretch that is like my previous therapy.”

Lucky Number Seven

On Saturday May 15th I had a chance to drive a Nascar!  This was a Christmas gift given to me by my husband, something I had always wanted to do!  After learning the laws of the track and being suited up for driving, I had a chance to drive eight laps!  It was a total blast.  The only question is when I can do it again.

Next Blackbelt Pre-test Scheduled

On their way to earning the blackbelt, Laura and Jonathan will participate in their next pre-test on June 13th!

Latest Continuing Education Accomplishments

Laura recently traveled to Sedona, AZ where she completed a class titled Myofascial Unwinding given by John Barnes.  This was her third class in the myofascial release curriculum.  Myofascial release is a hands-on technique that helps release deep tissue restrictions in the body.

Laura also completed “Impingement and Instability”, a class given by Ron Hruska, the founder of the Postural Restoration Institute.  This was the fourth class taken by Laura in this curriculum which focuses on balancing the asymmetries in the musculoskeletal system of the body.

Laura will race in the Backyard Burn

Racers will navigate a 5 or 10 mile course of trails in Fairfax Station, VA on Sunday March 28th.  The race is one in a series of four events that are put on over the Spring season.
