Success Stories & Testimonials

I have only had a couple sessions with Olga so far but I am blown away! One of the main issues I went in with is resolving and I’m at shocked that it’s happening so quickly. Olga is so kind, patient, and warm and really hears what I have to say. I feel extremely comfortable in the facility. It’s clean, calming and comfortable and Olga is incredibly knowledgeable. I am sooo glad that I found optimal movement PT and can’t wait to continue!

Kate Branciforte

 Olga has made me feel comfortable and confident in this process since the 1st appointment. She is very patient and knowledgeable. I have learned a lot about about my body and how to correct everything from my breathing to work out techniques. I feel so much improvement since I started therapy.

Robin Sommese

Going to Optimal Movement was a great decision and I highly recommend their therapy. My surgeon sent me to help with my bladder and pelvic issues and Kim has been excellent in her treatments. I have also experienced back issues and Kim came up with therapies and exercises that are helping with both the back and pelvic areas. I am so glad to have found Optimal Movement to help in my physical recovery. Feeling stronger and more like myself again! Thank you Kim!
