Donna is truly wonderful. I came to her in June with several pelvic floor related issues – including bladder issues and pain. Since then, I have come SUCH a long way, to the point where I am able to better understand my bladder issues, and most importantly, recognize and address my pelvic pain. She is so full of knowledge and is so incredibly sympathetic. She is such a kind-hearted human that made me feel so comfortable and safe – I never once felt awkward or unsure about addressing the issues I had been experiencing for 10+ years. The differences between my pelvic floor issues back in June to now (December) is beyond incredible. I don’t think I could ever thank her enough for how she helped improve my life.
Donna literally changed my life. She taught me SO MANY THINGS. I feel armed with knowledge so that I can keep working on my progress independently. She celebrated my progress and really boosted my confidence. She helped me realize and overcome some of my bad habits. I feel like a new woman and I cannot recommend Donna enough. While I’m happy I don’t need to see her anymore, I’m also really sad. I always walked out of our appointments feeling great!
Can’t say enough great things about Donna! She is incredibly thorough in her assessments and patient work and was able to identify the root cause of my hip and hip flexor pain actually as a core/TA issue after having two babies. She used traditional PT exercises and stretching techniques as well as massage and dry needling to really help accelerate my healing. I am so grateful to her for helping me get back to myself and my exercise routine again!
PT with Donna helped me gain my life back. I had pelvic floor issues that I was convinced would never go away. Donna was very patient and never pushed my limits. She talked me through every step, even including giving me some talking points for/next steps with my partner. On top of her amazing PT, she is a wonderful person. Donna was very easy to talk with and was very relatable. I cannot recommend Donna enough!
Donna is AMAZING. Most women do not talk openly about pelvic floor disorders. The issues are personal — very personal. After trying another PT, I all but gave up. Then, I found Donna. She’s an incredible listener and so easy to talk with. Donna took the time to get to know me as well as my pesky pelvic floor. We shared the joys of improved bodily functions. I feel like a completely new person….and am singing Donna’s praises all over the South Shore.
Donna was excellent. She is exceedingly pleasant and made me feel comfortable from day one. She was very easy to talk to and listened attentively to my concerns. She was also very encouraging and celebrated each milestone during treatment which helped to boost my confidence to push through challenges and feel good about my progress. Great experience overall.
