What People Are Saying About Inner Strength Physical Therapy

“I had found Maria after my gynecologist recommended that I see a pelvic floor physical therapist for some symptoms I was experiencing that my doctor wasn’t able to fully diagnose. As an athlete, I’ve been taught to listen to my body and I knew something wasn’t feeling right, so I chose to pursue Pelvic Floor PT.  I have to admit that I felt nervous and awkward because I wasn’t sure what to expect from this type of physical therapy. Maria made me feel comfortable during each visit by addressing my concerns and answering all of my questions, along with educating me about the pelvic floor and why I was feeling my symptoms. I would highly recommend Maria as she was able to help me return to my sport without feeling any discomfort. She was always incredibly patient during our sessions and since she was able to come to my house for appointments, I always felt that I was given the best care and attention during my treatments with her."
