I first began going to Tanas PT 7 years ago after injuring myself backpacking. She examined me thoroughly and set me up with a schedule of visits, each of which included electric stim, trigger point therapy and ultrasound. She also examined my gait and footware - essential components for a backpacker. Ultimately I began wearing custom footbeds that she assisted me with, which made an enormous difference.\r

As I continued to age I began suffering debilitating back spasms with increased frequency. They eventually became so bad I had to give up my one great passion in life - cycling. I turned again to Tanas, with somewhat low expectations because this condition seemed chronic. I'll never forget when Nabila, sensing my frustration, told me to take off my shirt and look at myself sideways in a mirror. She grabbed another physical therapist and let us compare our backs. Mine was grossly misshapen; it was apparent I had severe kyphosis (hunchback). Nabila explained that this was the root cause of all my problems. Her next words will always remain with me: ""It is usually very difficult for someone your age to correct this back to normal but I will help you.""\r

I visited Nabila on and off over the next few years for other issues. Each time she assisted me with my back problems in addition to whatever else I was visiting her for. A turning point came when she had me spend a full hour with an exercise physiologist, who introduced me to the swiss ball. I finally began obeying and listening to everything she told me to do. I started arising early to work on my back with the swiss ball. I would supplement it with her therapy. Over time people began remarking how much taller I looked. My parents, who don't see me very often, said, ""Mark your back is just incredible!"" I continued to work hard and go to Tanas PT.\r

Today I am back on my bike and riding as strong as ever. Nabila has literally given me back my life. She has tremendous knowledge & experience.
Pros: Deep experience, knowledge, educational, committment, passion and compassion
