Phoenix Physical Therapy & Wellness - Westlake Office

"Highly recommend to anyone, but especially those who have hypermobility and even those who are neurodivergent. The nervous system work alone has changed my life completely. I received treatment, knowledge, and tools that I will be able to come back to forever to help myself manage injuries, pain, and even other life stress! Both Dr. Kendel and Dr. Laura are great. They each have certain strengths that they bring to any session - though seeing either one will help you."

"Laura Wilson is an amazing practitioner and healer. She really listens and is very skilled in many different approaches. I have had some truly amazing breakthroughs since starting to see her a few months ago. She takes time to listen to your body and has been able to trace patterns of dysfunction back to their source, healing them from however they started. She is trauma informed and often sees past what is going on physically to the underlying emotional connections and traumas that cause certain compensatory patterns, really seeing things in a holistic way that takes your entire history into account. She has a gentle but effective touch and uses many different modes of healing, and is also able to adapt to each patient's comfortability. As someone with hypermobile Ehlers Danlos, I have had many injuries that never quite healed and have been causing problems ever since, but after spending just a couple sessions with Laura on each area, they have improved more than I thought possible for someone like me. I have felt so much physical relief in areas I thought would be a constant source of pain for the rest of my life. And that's not to mention the emotional weight that seems to be lifted after each session with her, as well as the deep psychological breakthroughs that have accompanied the release of these of painful patterns. I cannot recommend her enough!"

"Dr. Laura Wilson at Phoenix is frankly everything you could ask for in a healthcare provider. I highly recommend her to anyone dealing with pelvic floor issues, especially with complex health issues/injury/trauma. She is extremely knowledgeable, kind, intuitive and curious. You will not feel like you're on the medical conveyor belt here. Dr. Laura has some incredible methods and modalities in her toolbox and you can tell she is always learning and exploring new ideas that can help her patients heal more quickly and more completely. As someone with long-term complex health issues and pain, I often find it hard to articulate my symptoms but Dr. Laura is an outstanding listener and knows how to help her patients listen to themselves, value the insight of their own experiences and sensations and work through long established physical and emotional patterns that can cause and/or contribute to chronic pain. If you are interested in exploring how the mind/body connection impacts your health, I cannot recommend Dr. Laura enough. Starting pelvic therapy could be intimidating for many people but as soon as you meet Dr. Laura, you are put at ease by her warm and welcoming demeanor. In my first meeting with her, she made me feel less anxious and HOPEFUL about a future with less pain and more freedom. As I've worked with her, I've seen what incredible empathy and human connection she brings to her work. After just a few visits, I'm feeling so much better and have gained immense insight and tools I can use to heal myself!"

"I am so grateful for Dr. Laura Wilson. From the start she approached all of my problems with compassion and empathy. I have had quite a few different things going on and she has made time for each one and fully invests her time in me. She has sent me multiple resources to back up what she shows me to help me empower myself and learn how to help myself outside of the clinic. No matter what I am feeling that day, she always teaches me new things to add to my mental toolbox. I have learned so much from her since my first session and I could not be more thankful. I have had such a positive experience working with her and have been feeling amazing throughout all of her help. I couldn't recommend her enough. If you have had trouble finding doctors that care about your symptoms, look no further! You will not be just a number here, you will be treated as a human being whose symptoms are real and valid."

"Dr. Lipe is truly gifted, and the most knowledgeable and effective therapist with whom I’ve ever worked. She offered me solutions and gave me hope where I had reached dead ends everywhere else. She has completely changed my life and helped me to steer a different course for myself after 35 years of accepting pain. Dr. Lipe’s practice is not cookie-cutter. Her passion and medical detective skills make her treatment completely personalized. She will empower you with the tools you need to heal and care for yourself."
