Physical Therapy /Pilates- Shirley Kollmann PT

Feb 2024

Shirley has been amazing. She has helped me strengthen my core and work on proper body positioning. Each time i leave feeling accomplished and can't wait for our next appointment. I feel better during and after a long day of work thanks to her. As much as I'd like to keep her a secret she is amazing at what she does and the knowledge she gives.

Shirley is simply amazing. I am so grateful for her. She helped me with my lumbar spondylolisthesis by giving me, a complete newcomer to Pilates, a reasonable regimen, and by really taking the time and care to make sure I was doing my exercises right, using correct form. I felt like I was with Yoda--be ready to unlearn what you have learned in gyms. But you do get out what you put in. Do your take-home exercises! Make a sheet, take notes, use your phone to get your form correct. It took several months of on-site and videoconferencing sessions during the pandemic, but I've been honorably discharged and have a large quiver of exercises to choose from to keep my core strong.

I first went to Shirley after being referred to her by my podiatrist. I was having intense pain in my heels, especially the edge of my heels and my podiatrist suggested a career change, shoe inserts, and Shirley. So far I've got the shoe inserts and Shirley. The insoles seem to help a bit but Shirley is who truly helped me get back on my feet, literally. She was actually able to find out the root cause of my pain based on my movement and description of pain. She gave me tools to cure my problem rather than just treat it. She is so knowledgeable and patient in teaching movement and stretches. I never feel rushed during a session even if I manically burst through the door behind schedule. While I was seeing her I also had a minor neck/shoulder injury (2017 was a fun one). She aided recovery and I'm totally healed now. I can't say enough good things about her. She has hands of magic, strong but gentle, and is super intuitive. I highly suggest her to anyone seeking pain relief or just needing to relieve stiffness and redirecting the way you use your muscles.
