I first learned about Margaret many years ago, after suffering from a chronic lower back problem. My wife is an experienced PT and had tried various techniques on me with limited success. After one particularly bad episode (several days of severe pain and hardly able to move), I managed to see Margaret after another patient cancelled. I had heard positive stories about her, but was still blown away by her abilities. She is incredibly perceptive and intuitive, at a level unlike any other PT I've ever seen. After she had spent a couple of minutes lightly touching my back, I asked her if she had any idea what was going on. She said something like, "I know exactly what's going on...L4 is rotated compared to L5, putting pressure on your nerves." I had spent years thinking, "I have a bad back", without really understanding how or why. Within minutes, Margaret had given me a clear picture of exactly what was the problem. By the end of the session, she had taught me several key stretches (targeting my psoas muscle which is twisting my vertebra). One thing I really liked about Margaret is when she told on my second appointment that she didn't want to see me again. Her goal, she explained, was for me to learn the stretches so I could prevent future episodes. It has now been about 10 years since I've seen her, and I've been largely injury free. I simply cannot say enough positive about her. Thank you SO much, Margaret - you are AMAZING! read more
