THIS WORKS.
Because we go after the root cause
Did your pain start out of nowhere?
What if your low back pain is related to sprained ankle you had years ago?
What if your neck pain is related to your jaw/teeth orientation?
Our wholistic approach will solve your pain finally.
HOW and WHY?
We listen, listen, and listen.
We want to know everything about you. Have you been to a doctor who saw you 15 minutes to tell which treatment would be the best? NOT US! All the history you can give, any traumas, any struggles, recovery.. we are ready to listen to your story so that we can understand what you are going through and plan how we can treat you better.
Checking the whole body.
We check your posture. Even if you come in with low back pain, we will check your head, shoulders, jaw, feet, etc. EVERYTHING in our body connects. When you have chronic pain or pain out of nowhere, it could be related to how you stand, how you sit, how you move, how you walk, how you live day to day.. It shows a lot in our posture.

Testimonials
“I competed in Olympic 800m women years ago and pulled my hamstring pretty badly. I suffered for years and never got better until I saw Maya. Her approach is very different from other physical therapists. I am getting back to running again now. She does not give the usual massage-ultrasound-ice type of service. Go see her if you are committed to getting better. ”
“ My doctor told me to go see Maya for my headache and neck/shoulder pain. The first visit, my pain went down immediately. I learned so much from her why I was in pain and what I should do to keep myself pain-free. ”
“ I was so afraid to get back to my routine exercises (weight lifting, running, and pilates) after I had a bulging disc in my low back. I was completely pain-free after seeing her and I was also able to get back to my routine activities with her guidance. She gave me a timeframe to return to my usual activities, and she was right on. She also listens and makes sure you are on the right path of healing.”
