Hearing from our patients inspires us every day. Thank you to ๐ช๐ถ๐ป๐๐๐ผ๐ป ๐ for sharing this feedback with us!
"I came to Dr. Joel on two different occasions. The first issue was about a year ago for a tight and painful right hip flexor. That took about 4 sessions and I cannot explain how he did it, but sometime after we had finished, my hip flexor is back to normal.
This current issue is for my golfers elbow on both arms. Iโve been dealing with it for close to a year. Iโve had 9 sessions so far and I learn a lot about my body that no other physical therapist has taught me. Traditional therapists provide very little hands-on work and primarily focus on giving me exercises to do. Dr. Joel spends nearly all the time with working on you and Iโve found very immediate relief. Unfortunately, Iโm still dealing with the elbow pain, but weโre slowly getting there. It wonโt be a quick fix, but I trust in him and trust the process.
Itโs expensive because heโs private, but your health is worth it and if you break it down, his service is more valuable and you get value out of seeing him compared to traditional therapists. For me, other PTs spend about 15m with me before they send you off to their assistants for the rest of the hour. So thatโs 50-60 dollars per 15m. So having Dr Joel spend the full hour on you, per minute, the cost is cheaper than insurance-based therapy if thatโs how you like to look at it.
Anyway, there have been very painful sessions and very soothing sessions. I look forward to the cranial sacral massages. Those are the most relaxing and Iโve fallen asleep a few times because he helps relax my nervous system. Then the rest of the day feels pleasant because of it. Iโve learned my body is exceptionally tight and my nervous system needs a lot of work. These are areas that I imagine most people arenโt actively paying attention to that are equally as important. Maybe even more so.
His knowledge of your body is immense. I appreciate that he spends his free time reading and studying about his work. It shows heโs often engaged in improving rather than being satisfied with what heโs currently providing. I recommend him wholeheartedly. It may take a number of sessions and the cost can be hard to stomach because heโs a private practice. I was hesitant when I started too, but heโs convinced me with how heโs helped me. And the long term gain is more important to me. Heโs also a really great person who genuinely wants you to be at your healthiest."
