Quintessence Physical Therapy

I can’t speak highly enough of Quintessence PT. Last October I (April) went to the ER twice in one week because of excruciating lower back pain. Misdiagnosed the first time. Ruled stuff out the second time and it boiled down to muscular, skeletal issues. Fast forward, I was dealing with a very tight Illiopsoas. Went to a traditional physical therapist combined with meds and a month later was finally better. However in Feb/March it flared back up again despite still doing my at-home PT exercises. I was about to leave on a road trip but was in so much pain. Quintessence fit me in that week, she spent a good amount of time getting my whole history to understand what my body was reacting to. After one in person session combined with at home exercises 2x a day I improved each day and was able to go on my road trip. When I returned I did several more sessions and now working on graduating from the at home exercises. She responds fast and explains well the unique approach she is well trained for that stands her out in the medical community!

Quintessence PT has been so instrumental in healing my entire body after back surgery. I tried PT at a different place first, and was not getting the one on one attention that my body needed post surgery. Swapnali truly listens and analyzes are parts of my body for PT and gives me specific exercises based on how my muscles/nerves are reacting. So thankful I found quintessence!

I can't recommend Swapnali's practice highly enough. I started seeing her a month ago for back issues I've had on and off for over a decade that wasn't improved by traditional PT exercises, stretching, posture awareness, standing for work, etc. What makes Swapnali's approach different is she carefully examines the functioning of your entire body starting with your core, where all movement originates, and ensures that the coordination of your fundamental movements are aligned. The reason why this is so effective is often times pain that is experienced in one area of the body is actually being caused by dysfunction in another part of your body. In my case it turned out that injuries I sustained as a kid slowly caused coordination imbalances. To my surprise, Swapnali was able to identify these issues and I left feeling better after the first session. While on a walk with my wife last night she commented that I'm walking differently, that my posture looked more natural and fluid. And my back has felt better than it has in a long time.

If you're struggling with chronic pain from an injury or the wear and tear that life puts on us, go see Swapnali. She will work with you to deeply understand your particular issues and prescribe custom tailored exercises to realign your patterns and resolve pain.

I have been suffering from lower back pain issues including pelvic tilt for over 12 years. I have tried to manage on my own, but recent flare ups have increased the pain materially. This included a full one week period where I was not able to stand on my right leg. My orthopedic suggested physical therapy. I looked at all the options nearby through Google search and learnt about Quintessence.

It's been a blessing to have worked with Swapnali to address these issues. She is very experienced and knowledgeable, diligent with attention to detail, has great listening and high empathy leading to a personalized care plan, and has willingness to work hard to get the job done.

My lower back issues have reduced significantly in the last five sessions. I have tried to diligently follow the care plan, which had strengthened my right leg and ability to deal with daily workload. I really want to get back to playing racket sports - I hope that I can continuously improve under Swapnali's guidance and get that also going in the next few months. Thank you Swapnali for everything you do to heal those in pain.

I am so happy to have found Swapnali. She is amazing at the work she does to help my body recover. I am a horse back rider and a mom of four (including twins). I was having terrible hip pain that radiated throughout my body and also a new issue with incontinence that kegals were not helping. After the first treatment my incontinence resolved and my body is on the mend. It has been several weeks of PT, with daily homework on my own. If you are having body pain this is the place to go! I wish I had known years ago, I normally just suck up pain and move along. Now we are working through it all and I have hope. I have had two short rides since starting therapy, prior two my PT I had not ridden for about two months because of the pain.

I’m amazed at the thoroughness of Swapnali’s findings and quick easy solutions. It’s like problems melted away in just few weeks following simple exercises(hacks actually). I’m very thankful to have found Quintessential for my pelvic and leg pains. Eventually corrected few other issues that I wasn’t even aware of that existed from long before. Highly recommend everyone to at least get evaluated for your health issues.

I am so thankful for the help I received here! My injury was 7 years ago, and even after medical treatment, it never healed correctly. As a result, I've had full-body chronic pain, inflammation, and muscle imbalances, all contributing to decreased mobility and physical activity. After working with Quintessence Physical Therapy, I have increased range of motion, more energy, less fatigue, and am no longer in daily pain. This practice's whole body approach is key and has made so many positive changes in my life. I am so very grateful!

A few months ago, I experienced intense lower back pain, initially attributing it to a spasm. Despite following my primary doctor's prescription of painkillers and muscle relaxants, the discomfort persisted. Acting on my doctor's recommendation, I sought the expertise of Dr. Swapnali Chawdhari at Quintessence PT, who presented a holistic approach to addressing the underlying causes.

From our initial session, I gained confidence in Dr. Swapnali's insight into my issues. The ongoing treatment, coupled with prescribed exercises and the convenience of virtual training videos, significantly alleviated my muscle weakness, tightness, and incorrect movement patterns. This positive impact extended to improved body balance, enhanced sleep quality, and heightened concentration in daily activities.

Having completed four sessions with Dr. Swapnali, I now feel assured in resuming my regular routines, actively continuing the recommended exercises to strengthen my entire body. Dr. Swapnali's communication style is approachable, and her instructions are easy to follow. I enthusiastically recommend Quintessence Physical Therapy to those experiencing physical and muscle pains.

The standout aspects of my experience with Quintessence Physical Therapy include the exceptional knowledge of the provider, their professional approach, and the friendly atmosphere that enhances the overall therapeutic journey.

My teenage daughter injured her knee dancing and was in a lot of pain to the point where she was on crutches and could not extend her knee out. Our doctor had recommended ice and ibuprofen. She was better but the range of motion was affected, and the pain was not fully gone that we worried if she can even get back to dancing in the near future. I took her to meet Ms. Swapnali and I cannot recommend her enough. She listened, was extremely patient with my daughter, checked her thoroughly and recommended stretches and exercises to help her heal. She was chatting with my daughter as she was testing her and made her feel very comfortable and relaxed. The stretches and exercises that were recommended made a world of a difference. My daughter started seeing a huge difference within the first few days and during every subsequent visit Ms. Swapnali fine-tuned the stretches and exercises to account for where my daughter was on the healing process. She helped her build strength in the knees and engage the correct muscles to avoid future injuries. Again, I highly recommend Quintessence and Ms. Swapnali.

Swapnali is very genuine and she patiently takes the time to thoroughly understand her patient’s needs in order to come up with a customized therapy plan for each patient. She also has a convenient portal where she posts the customized therapy plans for easy access. I would recommend Quintessence Physical Therapy.

If you're reading this review, you're in the process of selecting the perfect provider to address your needs. Swapnali is incredibly knowledgeable and skilled. She dedicates time and patience to identify the root causes of the problem. Through her hands-on practice of NeuroKinetic therapy, you'll experience immediate results during the session. Following the physical therapy exercises she recommends is crucial for a speedy recovery. These exercises consist of small, impactful movements that aren't stressful or painful to perform. Overall, Swapnali is amazing and truly knows her craft. I'm delighted I chose her as my PT.

I've been working with Swapnali for several weeks now. She was recommended to me by my wife. I know now from firsthand experience that Swapnali's techniques and knowledge are so vast and actually awe-inspiring to learn things about how your body functions the way it does.

The light exercises to do at home are non-strenuous and very easy to keep up a habit with. I honestly feel better than I have in years.

Thank you, Swapnali!

I would like to thank Quintessence-PT for helping me to get rid of my pain. I could not step on my right leg and was in excruciating discomfort. Swapnali was real thorough in understanding the symptoms and evaluating my whole posture to relieve the pain and provided exercises to strengthen the muscles for my overall wellbeing. Thank you Quintessence PT.

I started getting pretty bad migraines and headaches for the past few months, which made me feel a bit off balanced. My doctor suggested that physical therapy might help. I took some time and went online to do some research and found Quintessence Physical Therapy. I gave the office a call to schedule an initial consultation and evaluation.
I mentioned to Dr. Chaudhary that sometimes it would be hard to do everyday things because I would feel a bit off balance and slightly dizzy. She 
did an extensive comprehensive evaluation, came up with a plan and it’s been working really well! I definitely feel more grounded and balanced, my headaches and migraines have lessened, and I feel so much better!

Dr. Chaudhary is incredibly knowledgeable and very thorough. She gives you detailed explanations to what she’s doing/why, and really dedicates her time to you during the one-on-one sessions. She integrates holistic methods to get to the root of the problem and fixes the underlying issue so that the problem does not persist. I’ve learned so much about my body and well-being from her. I would definitely recommend her to everyone!

Swapnali was incredibly helpful with my healing journey. Extremely knowledgeable and thorough, she helped me work through my back issues and imbalances post children. Thank you for all you have done!

I have struggled with pelvic pain for over 15 years, despite treatments and advice from gynecologists, urologists, and other physical therapists. After a while I became discouraged and resigned myself to just living with it. Then in November 2022, I also began to have knee pain, soon followed by pain in my hip/lower back, which ultimately left me unable to use stairs or walk up/down an incline. Driving was also painful.

NeuroKinetic Therapy has been highly effective for me. After two sessions with Swapnali, my pelvic pain decreased dramatically. We continue to work toward complete resolution. After additional work addressing my knee and hip pain, I am now comfortable using stairs and driving.

I really appreciate that Swapnali is very clear and direct in communicating her assessments and recommendations concerning my condition. She has taught me a great deal about how different parts of the body are interconnected and the importance of all the parts working together properly. She treats the whole body, not just an isolated area.

I highly recommend her practice.

Several months ago, I had finally found an exercise routine I liked, a virtual reality program. It was so much fun I moved past the neck pain I was experiencing and kept going. Finally, I took a break, however the pain persisted. I finally went to traditional PT for 3 months and no change. Not only did my neck continue to hurt, but my knee began to hurt. That is still a mystery to me, but that is when I sought out a more holistic approach and found Swapnali at Quintessence. She pinpointed immediately where the pain originated in my body and had me do very easy, but meticulous exercises at home with the guide of online instructions. She is very thorough with each visit and I come away with a better understanding of how my body works and how I can continue to make progress at home. One weekend I was having severe pain that came out of nowhere and she spent time over the phone explaining what I should do to relieve it. It worked and the next day I felt 90% better. I’m so grateful to have found Swapnali! My knee pain has totally disappeared and my neck pain has decreased, all in less time that I spent at traditional physical therapy. I highly recommend Quintessence Physical Therapy not only for pain but also for preventive care to keep everything aligned and your muscles working as they should!!! I'm very happy I found QPT!

Quintessence Physical Therapy is amazing, and I would highly recommend it to any of my friends and family. Swapnali Chaudhary truly cares about her patients' progress and recovery. She takes great care in ensuring she gets to the root of her patients' injuries and that they are fully healed.

Swapnali is Level 3 certified in Neurokinetic Therapy. Her level of certification is truly impressive and noticeable. She is able to treat the whole body with thorough training. Her knowledge is unparalleled. I initially went to her due to a chronic shoulder injury. Her mastery of understanding the way the entire body works and should be healed led her to addressing many other maladies I have been struggling with - from diaphragm and pelvic floor challenges, to knee, lower back, and foot issues. Swapnali can truly do it all!

In addition, she is kind, attentive, thorough, generous with her time, and cares about her patients. She will email me and text me if I have questions. She never makes me feel rushed during an appointment. I can't recommend a physical therapist more highly.

Late in my pregnancy I wanted to ensure my pelvic floor was in good shape for delivery and a friend of mine recommended Quintessence PT. Dr Swapnali gave probably the most comprehensive PT evaluation I've ever had, I could tell she was an expert in pelvic floor therapy. I enjoyed using the app with the exercises recommended, and I appreciate the personalized comments she adds for each client. The exercises prescribed really helped me feel more physically prepared and confident. Delivery went great, and I've been seeing Swapnali since week 7 PP and even though it's more difficult to keep up with therapy and exercises now, what I've been able to do has been making an impact and I'm feeling on track to adding more intense exercise, hopefully soon! I'm thankful I found Dr Swapnali, I appreciate how Invested she has been in my recovery and how much progress I've been making. I'd definitely recommend Dr Swapnali for pelvic floor PT!

I was referred to Swapnali Chaudhary, PT, MSPT at Quintessence PT after not seeing results at a different provider with their pelvic floor therapy plan. I had bad anxiety before sessions and was generally uncomfortable going to the appointments. My sessions with Swapnali are relaxing and nothing like what I experienced during previous pelvic floor therapy sessions. One reason is she is also following Neuro-Kinetic Physiotherapy techniques during my session. This has absolutely changed everything. I was first diagnosed with pelvic pain, kidney stones and then pilonidal cyst. These have been very painful with no simple fix but since I have been seeing Swapnali I am seeing more improvement than I have in years. I highly recommend her services.
