Boutique Physio

The s*weggy has been a game-changer for my chronic lower-back pain. I first tried it after an acute episode where my back spasmed and seized up (again). I was skeptical a triangle-shaped piece of foam would do any good, but I was desperate. To my surprise, I experienced instant relief and dramatically improved mobility. Since then, I’ve used the s*weggy every morning and night to keep my sacroiliac joints loose and limber. I’m waking up pain-free for the first time in 20 years. Worth. Every. Penny.

I rarely write reviews, but Joanne and her miracle S•Weggy deserve the recognition. If you are pregnant/postpartum and having pelvic floor pain or back pain, bypass your in-network PT and go here immediately! After my second child was born, I had debilitating lower back pain and issues with my sciatic nerve. My OB recommended seeing a chiropractor and starting PT with an in-network PT. I did both and nothing changed. My friend told me about Joanne and how personalized her treatment was, which is definitely what I needed. During my first hour apt with Joanne, she had me lie on a foam triangle called a S•Weggy ( she personally created this for her practice) and it instantly melted away all the tension and pain in my lower back. The exercises she gave me to do on the S•Weggy at home completely retrained my muscles to fire when they needed to, and within a week all my pain and stiffness was gone. It works gals! Over winter break, a friend who lives in Arizona stopped by with her newborn and was complaining of similar back pain, so I had her lie on my S•Weggy. She had the same results I experienced, so she asked me to buy her one from Joanne and mail it to her. Honestly, going to see Joanne saved me so much time and money, and awarded me tools I can now use to confidently manage my own pain if it decides to sneak back.

Joanne is fantastic. Running outside is important to my physical and mental well being. After repeated injuries, I started seeing Joanne every few weeks. Her "tune ups" and recommendations for stretching and strengthening exercises have helped keep me healthy this year. While I prefer in person, the current situation gave me a chance to try a "virtual" PT session. It was better than I expected, with the awesome benefit of being able to screen-shot Joann's great exercise recommendations on her white board. Definitely recommend!

In May, my SI joint had been bothering me for months and my doctor recommended I come see Joanne. Her ability to pinpoint the problem and give me clear steps to get me feeling better was truly life-changing.

When I was feeling better but not quite 100 percent, I wanted to get back to working out. However, I was worried I would re-injure myself if I just went back into the gym. At that point, I started Boutique Physio's Restorative Training Program with Heather. Heather is also a physical therapist. She works closely with Joanne to get their patients back to full health and activity.
I liked how Heather tailored my exercise program to strengthen the areas where I was still weak but also worked on overall body conditioning. For me it was all about my core and lower back. Heather also listened if I pushed a little too hard and I needed to step back a little bit. I can't believe how far I've come since I started working out with Heather in August. I highly recommend Boutique Physio and especially their Restorative Training Program.

I periodically suffer from hip bursitis. An avid runner I was referred to Joanne a few years ago. She taught me how to run again, retraining my mind to focus on using my glutes and core rather than my quads. Joanne is excellent. Her goal is to teach you how to use your muscles and body properly to avoid injury. I highly recommend her. I pop in to see her every once in a while when my mind starts to wonder and my quads take over and pulls my femur forward. I've recommend Joanne to several of my friends and they all agree with me. She is the best.

I'm an avid runner and a few years ago I was dealing with hip bursitis. My trainer referred me to Joanne after seeing several other specialists. Joanne worked with me and basically taught me how to run using the proper muscles. I now see her periodically when my mind starts to wonder and I fall back into my old habits. Joanne takes the time to train your brain on which muscles you should be using. I am definitely more efficient with my running and I've been able to increase my speed. I highly recommend Joanne.

Today I had my first virtual PT session with Joanne, after seeing her for the past 3 months in her office. Joanne continues to amaze me with the depth of her knowledge and experience, as well as her ability to adapt exercises to the individual. Joanne approaches physical therapy in a unique way and makes it work for me based on my particular needs, activities and lifestyle. Of course a virtual session is not the same as meeting in person, but I found today's session inspiring and beneficial. I will continue virtual sessions with Joanne on a regular basis.

I have known Joanne for more than a decade. She’s brilliant in her field, and has saved me many times over during periods of physical injury. As a CBS producer constantly traveling, I have been especially helped by Joanne’s virtual PT services. She is accessible to me from anywhere in the country. And whenever I reach out to her from wherever I may be, she unfailingly provides insights, advice, and extremely helpful therapeutic exercises. I would highly recommend Joanne to anyone in need of PT help, no matter where you may be located. She’s simply the best at what she does.

Joanne and Heather are miracle workers! I've been getting physical therapy for a long time with them and usually see both of them every week. They've helped me over the years with a variety of issues. Right now we're concentrating on the myriad of problems that my scoliosis has caused. They both know where it hurts before I even know that I hurt there. They genuinely care about their patients and go above and beyond for us. They don't take insurance but will give you super bills to turn in. I love the fact that it's a small office with very personal service. Nick, the other physical therapist there, is also quite popular and very friendly. I can't say enough good things about this practice!

I can't thank Joanne enough for helping me when others gave up. With the rib/back conditions that I have been struggling with for 6 years. It's nice to finally have someone who understands me when I explain to her what I'm feeling and she knows exactly what I'm saying an has ways to actually help when everything else has just about failed. Joanne takes a different approach with PT and really is a wonderful healer. After a few months I have seen improvement in my overall body movement that I haven't in years... I appreciate you from the bottom of my heart - thanks! An to anyone reading I highly recommend Boutique Physio - 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Joanne is a game changer. After first experiencing patellar/femoral pain running in high school, I've seen orthopedic docs and PTs in 5 states over the past 3 decades to address joint pain when exercising. Instead of offering me elastic bands, isolated exercises and icing regimens, Joanne took an integrative approach. In an intuitive, assured, incremental way, Joanne coached me to create an automatic neural muscular activation at the spinal level. I can now exercise without any joint pain (!!!) and I have a much deeper understanding of mind/body systemic connection, which will continue to serve me throughout my life. I can't recommend Joanne more highly!

Hard to believe a month and a half ago I’d given up and started contacting surgeons. Pain so bad I couldn’t function at all as a Paramedic Firefighter, thought I’d never exercise or play golf again. Now… I can’t say enough about Joanne and Boutique Physio. Back at work doing what I do!! Started swinging a club again and light workouts. Her and this insignificant little s-weggy have changed my life. If it wasn’t for her I’d still be recovering from back surgery!! She’s not afraid to change lanes and find the ROOT CAUSE or “first stringers” as she says. She uses symptoms as a map to fix you!

Joanne is an amazing healer. She takes the time to understand your areas of need and is really skilled at providing relief. As a person who suffers from chronic pain I can't recommend her enough as an option to help. She is terrific!

I absolutely love going to see Joanne! It is my favorite part of the week. I travel an hour to come see her because she has made such a difference in my life. I am a dancer, and work as a dental assistant during the day. She has helped correct me from head to toe. I highly recommend her as she is so dedicated to her patients, and is extremely knowledgeable in her field!

Joanne was able to solve my problems so quickly! Went from excruciating pain in my ankle one day, hard to go up and down to stairs, and then 2 days of following her advice and I was pain free! Basically magic! I recommend this studio to everyone!

Joanne treats the cause, not just the symptoms. She makes sure you understand why you are doing the exercises. In a matter of a few weeks, as my body is being "retrained", I am undoing decades of sitting at a desk!

I came to Nick a broken mess with terrible back pains. After a few short weeks working with Nick Tanner, I am back to my normal self and able to exercise and play sports. Nick is patient, knowledgeable and super helpful. I highly recommend Boutique Physio.

Joanne and Heather are the Best PHYSICAL THERAPISTS I have ever known! Go, don’t hesitate with your health!!!

The most skilled and helpful PTs I've ever had. They have restored my life!
