I saw Mr. Guillen 7 years ago for work related pain in my right knee. Apparently it was stemming from a depressed spinal disc - L3 or L4 I believe. He was very hands on, working my back himself in sessions. He also gave me simple exercises to do at home. After about 5 sessions, it was gone. Recently, the right knee came back while I was recuperating from a fractured right hip I got playing tennis. I went to the same medical facility that Mr. Guillen was at previously, but he no longer worked there. So I saw the physical therapist who did work there. She gave me some diagrams of exercises to do that were pretty basic. No hands on working on my spine which is the source of the problem. I had no results from the exercises and a followup sessions yielded no results. So I located Mr. Guillen on the web. He too gave me exercises to do. However, he demonstrated them himself, then had me do them to make sure I got the technique correctly. He filmed it on my phone so I could reference it in the future . He also maniputaled my back muscles with shiatsu-like pressure points. His (literal) hands on approach and the more extensive exercises he gave me had me pain free after two sessions. I highly recommend him. R.J. Rem

Sometimes you meet someone in healthcare and just know that they are meant to be in their field, that is Marissa! She is a perfect choice for pelvic floor PT. Her patience, knowledge, openness, relatability, and gentle nature made my treatment go from something I had put off for the better part of a year to something I looked forward to completing and progressing in.

Response from the owner · 3 weeks ago

Pelvic floor PT is something so many people put off way longer than they should, and the fact that you actually started looking forward to your sessions says everything about Marissa. So glad you found her and that you finally got the care you deserved. Thanks for sharing this Madison!

Mi experiencia en Free Body Physical Therapy fue realmente maravillosa, mucho más de lo que podría haber esperado. Una buena amiga me recomendó este lugar después de verme sufrir durante bastante tiempo debido a una fractura por estrés en el tobillo que no había sido tratada. Siempre estaré agradecida por esa recomendación. Desde el momento en que llegué, me sentí como en casa. El equipo se tomó el tiempo para escuchar mis preocupaciones y evaluar cuidadosamente mi condición. Después de realizarme algunas pruebas, me di cuenta de lo mucho que mi lesión había afectado mi movilidad. Mi tobillo estaba tan rígido que al principio no podía realizar muchos de los ejercicios que me habían indicado. Después de la primera sesión, sentí un alivio increíble y quedé muy motivada para continuar con mi terapia. Después de unas pocas sesiones de terapia física y acupuntura comencé a notar una gran mejoría. Poco a poco recuperé toda mi fuerza, flexibilidad y rango de movimiento. A los pocos meses, pude volver a correr y, desde entonces, nunca he vuelto a tener problemas con mi tobillo. La atención, el conocimiento y la verdadera dedicación que recibí hicieron una enorme diferencia en mi recuperación. Recomiendo este lugar a cualquier persona que necesite atención de calidad. Puedo decir con toda confianza que cuando estás en Free Body Physical Therapy estás en excelentes manos. ❤️

Beatriz, muchas gracias por compartir tu experiencia y por confiar en nuestro equipo. ❤️ Nos alegra muchísimo saber que pudiste recuperar tu fuerza y movilidad, y volver a correr sin problemas en el tobillo. Fue un placer acompañarte durante tu recuperación. ¡Te deseamos lo mejor y que sigas disfrutando de tus carreras!

Efrain, we really appreciate the energy in this, it made us smile. Michal will love hearing how much of a difference he’s made with your knee. Strength work and getting that ache to settle down is no small thing. Also glad the whole experience, from the front desk to your sessions, felt welcoming. That matters to us a lot. Thanks again for sharing this.

5 stars. If I could give them more, I would. I came to Free Body for vestibular physical therapy because I had been experiencing vertigo symptoms for months with little to no answers or direction prior to visiting Free Body and Marissa specifically. My vertigo episodes start with a spinning in my head and build into my vision actually spinning which triggers a loss of balance, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and generally a spike in my heart rate and body temperature. I spoke to my PCP and multiple specialists like the audiologist and ENT — this route led me to physical therapy with Dr Nemec. Working with her was the first time I truly felt heard and understood in my entire journey from deduction to diagnosis. Now my vertigo is under control and I’m seeing her for shoulder mobility. If you’re looking for a phenomenal PT, look no further!!

Response from the owner · a month ago

Zachary, thank you so much for sharing your experience. We’re so glad Dr. Nemec and the Free Body team could help you find some answers and get your vertigo under control after such a long journey. It means a lot to hear that you felt heard and understood throughout the process. Thank you for trusting us with your care, and now with your shoulder too!
