This may be the last review I write for this place unless ofcourse something new occurs. But I cant stress enough how awesome this office and acupuncturist is. I definitely recommend it.

When I started I couldn't walk my dog, do errands, garden, or sweep the kitchen. I had to nap twice a day for at least an hour each time. I went to 8 sessions - very pricey - $190/each - and of course I wondered if it was worth it. But the morning after my eighth session, I woke up feeling like myself again. It was amazingly sudden. I was immediately able to do everything I couldn't do before - starting slow, but building up to almost normal. Now, 5 months after I started seeing them, I'm trying very limited aerobic activities like longer walks, and swimming. It's slow progress at this stage, but a big change from doing nothing!!! I don't pretend to understand their theory or method, but it worked for me. The whole staff is kind and caring. Spend the money if you possibly can. Don't waste your time in bed!

I've now started running again, and I really wasn't sure if that would ever be possible. Rachel is knowledgeable, focused, methodical and extremely careful about assisting and guiding patients with their recovery. For example, she'll push you when she believes you are ready, but will always keep your exercise program closely monitored and tightly controlled. Also, Rachel has been running the clinic for the past two months during a colleague's maternity leave, and the functioning of the clinic has continued to be seamless, which must not have been easy during the pandemic. Finally, it is apparent that all of Rachel's clients are extremely satisfied with her care and instruction. I was regularly at the clinic 2x/week, then 1/x week, and it is clear that she has very loyal, appreciative clients.

I walked out pain free. What really made me want to write this review on top of all of that was that she mentioned she has been fixing hips for "40 years."

My symptoms only got worse there and I usually spent over an hour at each session, wasting my time with stim, heat etc. I went to Mike as a last resort before surgery and within a month I was starting to feel better, I could sleep comfortably. After 3 months I was able to start spinning classes and doing core/ back exercises at the gym. Unlike most large PT places where one size fits all, Mike really listens to what your symptoms are and creates a plan to treat you. I can not stress enough how great Mike is. I went from being a very active person, to being miserable suffering from awful back pain and thinking there was no hope but surgery. Mike gave me hope and within a month I could see improvements. I have now had my first baby, Mike continued to work with me throughout my pregnancy and I am happy to say 3 months post pregnancy I am pain free.

Below is my story with TMJ and how Felice helped me heal:…read more Ten years ago I was diagnosed with TMJD since then I have seen over 30 "specialists" in the "normal" (and recognized) medical community. I have seen multiple orthodontists, chiropractors, dentists, surgeons, acupuncturists, MDs, and other doctors (across the nation) who did not know how to help me, who tried to help me, or wouldn't admit that my case was beyond their abilities. I have spent tens of thousands of dollars to find a cure or a temporary aid for my TMJD. I have worn splints, had many tests, looked into surgery, and tried a variety of so-called treatments. None cured. One helped, but only temporarily. Each new doctor I saw brought on depression and anxiety. I am a strong person, but after nearly ten years I was fed up and had nearly given up. It was especially horrific since I am only 25 years of age, yet I felt like I was 90 years old. My daily quality of life was horrendous, and I was desperate for anything to help. I came to Felice because my appliance (splint) broke, my bite become even more off-center, and all my symptoms came back. I was in my first year teaching, working 90+ hours per week, and having my symptoms return was the last thing I needed. A friend of my family recommended Craniosacral Therapy to my parents to help my TMJ. My parents left Felice a voicemail to see if she knew of anyone to fix it. Felice called them back to make sure I was okay and to give help how to solve my broken appliance. She called back with concern for me as a person, not to convince them to have me see her. This is what was different from other doctors I had seen - she actually cared. My first session with Felice seemed like she wasn't doing anything. I have had chiropractic treatments before where you can tell what they are doing, but Felice is barely touching your body. I remember thinking: "well this was another waste of money" (sorry Felice). I was wrong. When I stood up after the first hour, I felt better. The effects of the session lasted for nearly the next week; three times longer than any other physical therapy or chiropractor I saw. So I continued going. I was still wearing a splint 24/7 during my first nine months of treatment. I was so dependent on it that during a 30-minute dental cleaning ALL my symptoms would return (headaches, backpain, jaw clicking, numb hands/feet, poor thinking, anxiety, foggy memory). Nine months into treatment (and two days after that dental cleaning), when my splint broke again, Felice suggested working on moving my teeth. I agreed as I was fed up. After this session, my bite had changed. I could finally touch the left side of my teeth together (I had an "open" bite on the left side before). After that session, I didn't wear my splints. I didn't need to anymore. For the next six months, she continued working on my teeth and body, helping it to heal. Currently (August 2012), my bite is stable WITHOUT A SPLINT and I no longer have headaches or any of my other symptoms (after 2.5 years of wearing it). My hips feel level, I feel more limber and flexible, I'm emotionally/mentally stable, and my overall quality of life is high. I have since moved from Cambridge, but I would never have been in a position to make this decision without Felice's therapy. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs immediate relief from a chronic condition, as I did. She is someone I trust for my health and overall well-being, and I cannot say that about many medical professionals. Her therapy is considered alternative and may seem strange, but try it. Felice is caring, honest, and an expert in what she does. She is passionate about her work and about helping her patients. I cannot recommend her enough; she has truly given me the gift of living pain free. I would not be where I am without her and cannot thank her enough. If you would like to speak to me regarding my story or Felice as a Craniosacral Therapist, please feel free to ask her for my number or email, and I'd be happy to chat with you. I sincerely hope that my story helps others to not give up helps them to keep searching for the right help and deciding if Felice is the right therapist for you. Kind regards, Alissa

It was a tight deadline and a big ask. I told him that I was so discouraged at the thought that it might not be possible to do with the pain I was experiencing. He took his time to evaluate my lower body range of motion, strength, and flexibility and quickly identified an imbalance in my hip strength/mobility. Paul reassured me that -while it would be a lot of time, effort, and dedication- he believed his team could help. I am SO grateful that they did. I spent a lot of early mornings with his tremendous team who slowly helped build my strength and corrected my form. The team at Beantown physio care about each patient individually, and it shows. Becca (PTA) asked for a status update each time I saw her at the clinic- I truly credit her stretching and training tips/ tricks for getting me to the finish line. I ended up running the marathon pain free- and even got an encouraging text at mile 20. I cannot thank this practice enough.
