  • “After going through much suffering and pain from a rotator cuff tear in my shoulder, now I really understand the importance of receiving physical therapy as the first step. Originally, I didn’t know about Direct Access to Physical Therapy, so I suffered with pain for 8 weeks while going to my primary physician, then to a specialist, with subsequent delays. Once I arrived in PT, Michelle, and her team were excellent at evaluating the cause of my pain, making a clinical diagnosis, and starting treatment the same day. Michelle’s book is very informative and a must read for consumers. I wish I read it sooner!”
    Krishna Ayyala, Software Engineer at IBM
  • “All three of my children were patients of Michelle’s when they were younger. Not to mention my husband and my father too! And my daughter Lisa, eventually chose physical therapy as her career. Michelle is the kind of person who hopes to make everyone in this world a patient or a Physical Therapist, or BOTH! Physical Therapy has certainly helped my family live more pain free, productive lives!”
    Sharon Gumnic, PT Advocate
"I'm very proud to be a physical therapist and to have helped so many people in my community. My hope is that you read this book and share it with as many people as you can, so we can spread the word together of what direct access to physical therapy is and the many benefits it will provide for you, your family, coworkers and friends."
