"I suffered from a disc herniation L5/S1 and terrible sciatic pain for months with no luck in PT with HSS, even after a steroidal epidural. I returned to my HSS doctor and asked him for the best physical therapist in town because I was at the end of my rope and he gave me Patricia's information. How I wish I had received this referral earlier... She has had extra training in neurodynamics and is a major step above other PT's. She game me completely different exercises than the usual upward dog exercise for disc herniation, which never did anything for me. Most importantly she knew exactly how I should move to avoid the constant nerve zinging and saved my life! I highly recommend her."

"I began working with Patricia Ladis last spring, having been referred to her by my orthopedist, after having a Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment for a torn hamstring. Using her whole body, whole system approach, she not only helped me to recover from the treatment and get back to all of my activities, most importantly running, she addressed all the other musculoskeletal issues that were causing that hamstring to tear in the first place. She helped me engage and strengthen areas that were weak, causing me to put too much stress on my right side (and we realized that it was my right side where all my injuries seem to occur for this very reason!). She analyzed my running style and helped me make some minor corrections that have changed everything. Then, this winter I fell skiing and tore my ACL. Luckily, it was only a partial tear and my surgeon, after a month of wearing a knee brace and PT with Patricia, said the injury is healing itself and I did not need surgery after all. Again, I credit Patricia for helping me to avoid surgery with more strengthening exercises, musculoskeletal work, and voila, back to running with no knee instability. Patricia's approach is all about engaging muscles you didn't know you had,, learning to breathe and move properly and regularly, realigning your body to its natural state, and using the power of positive thinking to improve not just your injury, but your body as a whole, to get it working properly again. On top of that, she is a fabulous person, so fun to work with and talk to, sensible, kind, and a great listener. HIGHLY RECOMMEND."

"Simply put, Patricia is AMAZING. After years of running incorrectly to the point I could no longer walk without pain, through Patricia's thorough knowledge of body mechanics, her ability to manipulate my body back into its place and the simple exercises she prescribed, I am once again completely active. She has given me a gift of a lifetime (and the ability to play sports once more!). Run to her - or if you can't for now, you soon will after seeing her"
