Two weeks later I had a full range of motion again.

“I had severe neck and shoulder pain for about three months. I walked into Maccio PT and met Joe. That day I was in severe pain. I couldn’t bend down to put on my shoes or move the right half of my body without screeching out in pain. This was absolutely no way to live and I didn’t care how much it cost- if they could help me, it was going to be worth it.

Maccio got me in that day and after the first two stretches, I was able to move my head, neck, and shoulder. It was nothing short of amazing. Two weeks later I had a full range of motion again. I can’t tell you how grateful I am for the amazing care and expertise of the Maccio Physical Therapy team.”

My symptoms and pain have improved tremendously!

“My doctor was pushing for me to get surgery for the four bulging discs I had in my back. I wanted to explore my options before just jumping into surgery. Since coming here, my symptoms and pain have improved tremendously. Prior to PT, I was unable to bend my neck up or down without getting dizzy or lightheaded. Now I can move without any problems. I feel a lot better and now have more energy. Thank you Maccio Physical Therapy for your help.”

I could feel myself improving each time.

“I got up one morning, and my hamstring spasmed so badly that I fell to the floor. It was a straightforward hamstring strain. I fell down a flight of stairs and fractured my leg. During this time the pain in my hamstring persisted, and even worsened, the pain was worse than the fracture. This is when I was referred to Maccio Physical Therapy.

Within a month of doing the lower back exercises to centralize my pain was gone. After years of getting nowhere, I was able to sleep through the night, get out of my car without crying out, and dance again.

I honestly thought I would never be without that terrible pain. I looked forward to every appointment. I could feel myself improving each time. Thank you so much!”

I was cured with only 5 sessions!

“I ruptured a disc in my lower back after exercising and I had immediate pain that actually kept worsening. I lost most motion moving forward and experienced pain sitting, standing, walking, and even sleeping! I was treated by Joe Jr. who quickly identified the problem and started with a treatment that did not include medication. After about 3-5 days I had significant improvement and after about 3 weeks I was back to 90-100%. I was able to resume with my normal exercise routine. I was cured with only 5 sessions with Joe Jr.”

We called Maccio PT and have been very impressed.

“I have had back pain on and off since 2007. I was diagnosed with a slipped disc. We called Maccio PT and have been very impressed. When I came to my first appointment, my pain level was an 8-9 with pain going down my left leg. After 2 weeks of doing the exercises, the pain has stayed out of my leg and my pain level is 1-2. I am only 16 and thought I was done with sports and dance. I am going back to my first dance class in five months. I would recommend them to anybody who has any back pain.”

I was able to see the progress and decrease my pain with their help.

“After having triplets, my body went through many changes. Over time, pain throughout my back was a daily occurrence. The pain prevented me from participating in lots of different activities and increased with sitting or lying. A friend referred me to Maccio Physical Therapy, where I was able to be part of helping myself. I was able to see the progress and decrease my pain with their help. The approach at Maccio PT worked so well to improve my posture and allow me to resume my daily activities. Thank you!”
