What patients are saying.
Testimonials
"I highly recommend Dr. Julia Niwinski. I have been experiencing pain in my hip for several months that neighter a cortisone shot or traditional physical therapy had helped. My trainer suggested I meet with Julia and discuss treatment options she would recommend. Julia has used a combination of manual based therapy integrated with functional based movements in her treatment. She works not only on my hip issues but also focuses on basic core strength and posture. Though not pain free yet I am making progress in reducing my hip pain, particularly when walking. Julia is very knowledgeable, patient and committed to my progress. I see her in the office weekly and complete at home exercises as well. The office is very clean, modern and welcoming."
