Healthwell Physical Therapy Group

My physical therapist Brianna is wonderful. She is very considerate and gentle, and has a thoughtful approach to figuring out which exercises are right for me. She is also very nice.

My family has been going to Healthwell for the past 10 years. We've had nothing but fantastic service and treatments that work! In addition, whenever we'd call with questions and concerns, the staff as well as the owner, Mindy Marantz, have been very patient and cordial and answered our questions fully. I would highly recommend Healthwell to anyone who is in need of physical therapy. Carl Hirsch

After tearing a ligament in my foot, I was stuck on a knee scooter for 9 months and my Kaiser doctors were out of suggestions. I got an outside referral to HealthWell, and Rafaela got me off the scooter within a month. Rafaela has great expertise in how to re-strengthen the small muscles in my feet and ankles that had been getting a free ride while my ligament healed. I have hypermobility, which HealthWell specializes in. It was key finding a therapist who understands what that means for PT, and who can also incorporate fascial release and alignment work into treatment. Rafaela is positive and kind, and it's no exaggeration to say she gave me my life back.

Mindy Marantz of Healthwell Physical Therapy has been incredible in helping me recover from a serious concussion, whiplash and other injuries caused by slipping on ice and landing hard on concrete. The depth and breadth of her knowledge, her compassion, plus her astute perception of my challenges has helped me tremendously. I hold Mindy and Healthwell PT in great esteem for providing the best PT services I have ever experienced.

As someone who has struggled with chronic pain due to joint hypermobility, it has been super challenging to find a specialist who truly understands this condition. Rafaela is a shining star in this area and has helped me immensely. Her knowledge of how to strengthen muscles specific to hypermobility has made a huge difference in my pain levels and overall mobility. She goes above and beyond to help me find resources on braces and provides manual therapy to target deep pain in my shoulders and hips. If you're looking for a compassionate and knowledgeable physical therapist in the city, I highly recommend Rafaela and Healthwell!

Following my hip replacement I had extensive PT work overseen by Megan. She was professional, capable, and a pleasure to work with. It was a delight to know that she cared about me as a client, making certain that my health needs were thoroughly met. My recovery was enhanced by my belief in Megan's care and competence.

I was diagnosed with hypermobility in winter of this year and referred to Healthwell to to help me recover from a spontaneous and highly painful knee dislocation (fun times!) and build up my strength in my other joints to make continued dislocations less likely. My experience with Healthwell stands out from my experience with almost every other element of our healthcare system in that it's been nothing but positive. I never expected to look forward to physical therapy, but I genuinely am glad for my sessions with Rafaela. She helps me articulate and figure out exactly what's going on in my body - she's curious, thoughtful, and a true mobility expert. In recovering from my latest knee dislocation, progress hasn't always been linear or clear, but I always feel confident that Rafaela will listen to me, take me seriously (if you don't have hypermobility, you probably have no idea how rare this is), and get creative to figure it out. While I haven't worked with anyone else, everyone I've interacted with has been friendly and kind. If you're also dealing with hEDS or HSD, I cannot recommend Healthwell strongly enough.

Healthwell physical therapy has been a wonderful resource as I've recovered from a number of injuries over the years. As an athlete and very active person, I've greatly appreciated the knowledge base, attention to detail and whole body approach of all of the physical therapists I've seen there over the years. In particular, Rafaela Perkins has been a tremendous physical therapist for me the past year helping me first to recover from an ankle injury so I could get back to running and playing soccer and more recently to help me pre-hab for ACL reconstruction and to recover from said ACL repair. She makes sure we use every single minute of our sessions productively be it hands on work in the acute healing phase or pushing me to safely test my limits and progress in the more active re-strengthening phase. I really appreciate the knowledge, focus and skill she contributes to my healing process.

My mom has been seeing many physical therapist at various places. Megan has been the best therapist. She is very professional, gentle, explains everything and helped my mom tremendously with her exercise. The staff here is very courteous. I highly recommend this place and Megan as your therapist

It was the most positive experience with Physical Therapy Company I have ever had. The physical therapist's name is Megan Dalmacio. She was like my big sister. Very personable and paid attention to my description of symptom's. She explained how and why the exercises would affect my back. Then she showed me how to do the exercises and watched me perform the exercises, to be sure I understood how to do them. She gave me photocopies of the exercises being performed step by step by live subjects. Even more helpful was that Megan emailed a video of the exercises being performed by live actors/subjects. This was really helpful. Another aspect of the that was unique is that she gave me her email address so I could communicate with her in-between visits. If my question was easy to answer she responded in a day or to. When my question was more complicated to answer, she indicated that and said she would discuss the issue with me during our next visit. Megan on a couple of occasions gave me a massage to help alleviate my back pain. Also, during my first visit I brought my wife with me. She frequently massages my back and she wanted and to find out the best way to massage my back. Megan demonstrated to her how to best do the massage. What may have been the most helpful aspect of the consultation was her suggestion for me to purchase a back brace (no other physical therapist or doctor has ever suggested this). In addition, she gave me a copy of the type of brace she had in mind from the Amazon website. She explained that copy the photo of the product was provided as an example of what she had in mind. She was not suggesting that I buy one from Amazon. Without this brace I am not able to sustain almost any physical activity for a prolonged period of time i.e. 15 minutes of more. Two examples that I use the brace for are exercise walking or social dancing.
