What Our Boston Patients Say
Trusted by active women throughout Boston
“As a half-marathon and marathon runner, I’ve been working with Jules since summer of 2023. I can honestly say no one has been able to help with identifying and solving my issues to consistently race like Jules and the Pacer Therapy team! Upcoming races that I would have thought to be impossible to compete in I have been able to start and finish PAIN FREE. “

Dr. Vera is amazing! I joined her Mommy & Me postpartum workout class, which had challenging exercises that helped rebuild my foundational strength after giving birth in a fun and supportive environment. I also saw her for 1:1 PT, and she is so knowledgeable, explains things well, and provided exercises that fit into my life with a newborn.
-Lilli M.
It was a pleasure to work with Amy as part of my postpartum recovery for diastasis recti and pelvic floor. She is super knowledgeable and was able to tailor each visit to my needs as they evolved. I felt very supported throughout the whole process and now feel confident to return to the activities that I enjoyed before pregnancy.
-Clementine D.
Juliana is absolutely amazing. I’ve been working with her since I became pregnant with my second child, and now, at 17 months postpartum, I’m still reaping the benefits. Her guidance was instrumental in ensuring I was comfortable during pregnancy, empowered during labor, and recovered quickly postpartum.
