  • I have gone through many physical therapists previously, and Ann was the only one who could identify and treat my ailments effectively.

  • Because of her caring nature and vast knowledge, I have been able to get back into the activities I love.

  • I began seeing Ann after a difficult knee surgery recovery... After starting Counterstrain with Ann, I noticed significant progress in swelling, warmth, and stiffness that I hadn't seen before. I highly recommend Counterstrain for anyone recovering from an injury—even without setbacks. I only wish I had gone earlier!
