Testimonials
"I have been a patient of Dr. Julia and highly recommend her. She brings her extensive knowledge and creative problem solving skills to provide individualized treatment. She evaluates the entire body structure and movement and perseveres until she figures out how to correct the situation that brought me in. She is like a very smart detective."

"I've seen Julia and after 10 years of not being able to run and living in pain- I'm pain free! She's the only one who treated me like a whole person. I'm running again because of her."

"My PT sessions with Julia have been awesome. The exercises she has done on my neck have relieved so much pain. I am truly going to miss her and all the help she has provided to me. She is amazing!"

"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."
