Neck Pain Relieved

I had a neck accident when I was 14 that had caused me chronic pain. I also recently found out I have tennis elbow (I don't play tennis) and carpel tunnel syndrome as well as sciatica down both legs. I know it's a lot. I have been in and out of traditional physical therapy since I had my first knee surgery at 18 (I've had 4 in total). I can unequivocally say that Southwest Physical Therapy is the first physical therapy practice that actually treats you as a WHOLE human. The therapy really works. I think I'm fairly intelligent and I have NEVER thought about how my torso is connected to my pelvis. These people REALLY know what they are doing and any one who is in any kind of pain should limp over - you'll be running soon! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Calm & Healing in the Northeast

"Unfortunately, over the years I've had my share of physical therapy. Some were better than others, but Aracelli & Mike at Southwest PT stand out from the crowd. They can put you through your paces like any PT, but they really shine when it comes to hands on work. They emphasize hands on, and I am a convert to this approach. I had gone to Hospital for Special Surgery for Physical Therapy on my shoulder previously, and though I experienced some improvement, I still had limited range of motion. I was ready to just accept it rather than consider surgery. However, the pain increased again, so I decided to try PT one more time, but picked someone close to home. The techniques Aracelli & Mike used were able to really open up my frozen shoulder. The pain is gone and I have better range each week. They are kind, approachable, talented people. Save a trip to the city, go Southwest!"

Bent Over and Hardly Walking

I was experiencing extreme pain in my upper right thigh. I went through the usual regimen of tests (ultrasound, X-rays, MRI’s, neurological and blood). All the tests came back negative. I was relieved that there was nothing seriously wrong, but the pain was still there, even the pain killers did nothing to alleviate it.

I was talking to a neighbor and he was shocked at how I was so bent over and could hardly walk. He recommended Aracelli and Michael at Southwest Physical Therapy which he had used with great success. Although I was skeptical I called and made an appointment. On the appointed day I was doubtful but secretly hopeful I would get some relief.

After a few Myofascial Release treatments I was able to move without extreme pain. The pain in my thigh disappeared and I began to feel pain in other parts of my body. Michael would say, “We got the pain on the run, there is no place left for it to hide.” I slowly continued to straighten up as the pain lessened. I was instructed to do certain exercises at home and started taking walks. At first I had a difficult time incorporating my exercise routine into my day as I had become very inactive with the pain.

Now I look forward to doing the exercises as the Myofascial Release treatments have taken away the pain.

Today is a special day as I was told not to use my cane. I am walking tall and pain free thanks to the patience and caring of Aracelli and Michael at Southwest Physical Therapy.

Severe Back Injury

"Recently I was incapacitated by a severe back injury. I tried to cure it with my usual bag of tricks which included Yoga postures, hot baths, etc., but nothing worked, and I was getting worse instead of better. I searched online for a physical therapist in my neighborhood and was very fortunate indeed to come across the website for Southwest [Physical Therapy] Healing.

As soon as I spoke to Michael, I knew I had dialed the right number! This was my first experience with Myo-Fascial Release therapy and it was great! They also gave me a regimen of stretches and exercises that I could do at home, and I began to improve immediately. All of the therapies are conducted in a very friendly and supportive atmosphere which helped tremendously to alleviate my mental and emotional stress. These guys are the best!"
