I have worked in a sedentary job for 35+ plus years that causes repetitive stress throughout my upper body and have been suffering with these issues since about 1995. I have been to MANY therapists over the years, including chiropractors, massage therapists, physical therapists, orthopedists, acupuncturist and osteopath. I can honestly say that nobody has been successful in helping me to work through my flare-ups until I started treating with Shelli. I am self-employed and am not able to afford disability insurance. In the past, when I would have a flare-up, I simply had to take time off without pay to rest. At one point I went to an orthopedic doctor out of desperation to see if she could help. She immediately recommended Shelli to me, because she herself had treated with her and had great success.
Quite honestly, Shelli's treatment has changed my life. She is kind, thoughtful, intelligent, and incredibly knowledgeable in her field. Since treating with her, I can go to her when I have a flare-up, and she immediately finds the source of the problem and fixes it. I have been able to continuously work in my job with only a few short periods of rest since I started seeing her. She has recommended so many exercises and suggestions to adjust my work station as necessary so that I can continue to work comfortably. I am forever thankful that I was referred to Shelli. I'm not sure how I would have been able to continue working in my career without her.
“If I could give Shelli 1000000000000000 stars I would- she's saved my life. After having 2 surgeries and still being in pain for 1 1/2 years, I still suffered from nerve issues, arm pain, and migraines. Thankfully I met Shelli and she had been incredible. She was the first person to work everything but my arm (1. I couldn't handle people touching my arm 2. She explained that everything is connected and you need to treat around the problem area to loosen everything up).
She also was the first person to believe that migraines were caused from the injury. She kept encouraging me to be persistent on having the doctors order an mri of my back/ neck. Sure enough, several areas of my back/ neck were affected as a result of my injury and have symptoms that cause the pain I've been suffering from.”
“Not only is she the most knowledgeable OT/structural integrationist around, she is an incredible human being. She treats everyone like family and is so caring, positive and takes the time to listen to you!!!”
“I've seen significant progress. She is so strong, i feel like I'm getting spoiled with a deep tissue massage! She even takes before and after pictures after the sessions to compare ! No photoshop necessary!”
“Our son plays baseball and has always physically grown at a fast rate, reaching 6 feet at age 13. As a result, he's always experienced back pain, tight calves, and body alignment issues. For the past two years Shelli has worked to correct his anatomical alignment and relieve his pain and muscle tightness. Shelli possesses encyclopedic knowledge of human anatomy and muscle function and customizes exercises for one's unique conditions. She also has a fantastic personality. She takes time to get to know her clients encouraging them to talk about their work, pastimes, and even current events. She really wants to get to know you as a person and not just a client. Our son looks forward to these sessions and feels great rapport with her. He eagerly talks about school, sports, and friends while Shelli completely listens and professionally focuses on her work. He is still enduring physical growing pains, but can always count on Shelli's physical therapy sessions to help him feel better and improve his athletic performance. The sessions with her have been a great investment for our son's overall well-being. Please see Shelli if you need a caring and knowledgeable physical therapist. We highly recommend her!”
“She is an extremely knowledgeable OT. She is an excellent teacher who can effectively share her knowledge with both patients and other therapists. She is very knowledgeable and above all, she truly cares about her patient.”
“Shelli did a complete evaluation - measured my strength and mobility in both arms and assessed my posture. She even asked for pictures of my workspace and we discussed my physical activities to try and determine what repetitive movements could be contributing to my pain. She treated my whole upper body. Shelli looks at the whole body and the effect of muscle balance and posture as it relates to the injury.”
“She takes time to get to know her clients encouraging them to talk about their work, pastimes, and even current events. She really wants to get to know you as a person and not just a client. Please see Shelli if you need a caring and knowledgeable occupational therapist. She treats everyone like family and is so caring, positive and takes the time to listen to you She genuinely cares about you as an individual. "She truly cares about her patients and you know she has your best interest at heart. Coming into appointments, she would greet me with a, "so I've been thinking ...", which is awesome to know that you're not just an appointment in her book, she is thinking about your treatment not just during the your scheduled block."
Shelli is an awesome and very knowledgeable O.T. she has helped me gain strength and heal from my bilateral carpal tunnel surgery release. Shelli is helpful and knows exactly what you need to feel better. I highly recommend Shelli if you need a hand therapist. hands down she's the best.
