Success Stories from our patients

I always leave each appointment with personalized support, advice, and a customized workout plan—delivered through an easy-to-use app—that motivates me to follow through. I've made remarkable progress on long-standing issues I'd been living with for nearly 15 years.

Working with Pacer PT during my pregnancy was the BEST healthcare decision I made during the process! PT really significantly improved my quality of life throughout my pregnancy, managing and minimizing back pain / core issues and allowing me to stay active through the end!

Not only did [Vera] help me with back and pelvic pain before giving birth, but the birth prep mobility and education Pacer PT offers was so beneficial as well. After welcoming my son, I resumed my sessions with Vera and she became a tremendous resource again in helping me recover and working my way back to conditioning and strength training.

I came to Juliana with tons of pelvic pain, at around week 24 and she has helped me all the way through now (week 39). We even did a great birth prep session which helped me and my husband prepare for the big event. Juliana was able to really help with my diagnosis and make a program that worked for me.
