Align Renew Thrive Physical Therapy

"Melanie is a magician. She gave me exercises that I do every morning before I get out of bed. Even after my first visit my chronic hip pain almost went completely away. Now 5 months later I spend 5 minutes a day doing simple somatic exercises which has allowed me to start running again. My hip pain was so severe before my first visit that I had a hard time walking. If you do the exercises she recommends I am sure you will see improvements!"

"Melanie is helping me with several areas of chronic muscle stiffness & tightness, after many yrs. of high level activity, & a long recovery from GBS (over 25 yrs. ago). She takes a different approach than conventional PT's I've worked with in the past- & her technique makes sense. Melanie is encouraging, patient, & very knowledgeable about the human body, & what it's been through- she has a gift indeed! I look forward to more visits to improve my body- to continue to be as active as I was 45 yrs. ago."

"I didn't even realize how much pain my legs were in until i came in for a visit. Within the first visit Melanie had offered a ton of information as to the problem with my foot, and body mechanics, that i was actually hopeful that i might be able to hike/walk longer than 3 miles without hours of pain afterward. Now after 3 visits, and, yes, doing my exercises at home, im seeing huge improvements...no more aching pain in my legs. My foot has better flexibility and way less pain. I can really see a light at the end of this painful tunnel. Her explanations along with careful, and healing touch has made me less fearful and able to address my issues with chronic pain. Now, 3 miles with my dogs is easy...the future is looking so much better now that i can address these poor body mechanics with better, hopeful strides."

"Melanie is thorough, kind, warm, and went out of her way to make sure I got the best value for the time I had scheduled. Her initial consult told me more about my body than several other physical therapists over years of seeing them. She included many resources for me to follow up on before my next visit. I finally feel like I have hope to correcting my imbalances as I have started practicing the exercises this week and already feel some relief."

"After suffering a neck injury just over three years ago and trying everything I could think of (massage, acupuncture, chiropractic care and PT with another provider), I was almost ready to give up and go with the steroid shots as recommended by my doctor (the last step before surgery) based on my X-ray results. At the suggestion of my massage therapist/acupuncturist - I decided to meet with Dr. Carlone before going that route. After only one appointment, I already have significant range of motion that I have been struggling with for over three years, and for the first time since I can remember - I don't have any pain. I have not only been relieved of my pain - I have also learned so much from Dr. Carlone about how to listen to my body and work WITH it to prevent the stress/tension that I have carried around for so long. Dr. Carlone is SO knowledgeable, takes her time, and treats the whole body - not just the point of pain. She even gave me suggestions on how to modify my work set up to avoid further stress on my body as well as suggestions on modifications to my pillow set up to help with my sleep. My only regret is not visiting her sooner. If you're dealing with chronic pain - know that there is another option besides steroids and surgery!"
