Active recovery isn't just a normal rest day where you skip your workout routine or training day. It is the time to accelerate muscle healing with soft tissue mobilization, proper stretching and calculated use of ice and heat to increase circulation and improve your body's ability to recover. All these techniques assist the body with muscle healing while maintaining joint mobility and flexibility to quickly return to training.
I am a new nurse who just started working bedside, and for the first time in my life I was experiencing chronic lower back pain. Dr. Chu gave great advice about fixing my posture at work and recommended core exercises to perform to improve my posture not only at work but in everyday activities. It makes it much easier to take care of my patients without back pain.

Dr. Chu is the person you want to see for pain relief! I started having recurring neck problems at the beginning of the year. I would regularly wake up with a pulled neck muscle; sometimes it would be the right side and other times the left. I assumed it was a combination of sleeping wrong and getting old. When I finally decided to do something about it, I first went to see an acupuncturist that was able to help with the pain but couldn't give me a long term solution to not pulling my neck muscle in the first place. I am so thankful I was referred to Dr. Chu. She was able to help with pain relief

A couple of weeks ago, I was experiencing some dizzy spells and pain in my cervical spine that ran tingling sensations down to my finger tips. After two weeks of concern and no longer able to take the pain, I decided to seek a physical therapist to help with both, figuring it all correlated. At my first appointment, she concluded I had a form of vertigo and the there were pinched nerves along my spine, this alleviated my concern for the worst possible scenario. After my first appointment, my dizzy spells decreased in frequency and length and the pain in my c/s subsided. As I continued

I broke my finger playing softball. I could not afford to see a doctor at the time because I did not have any insurance. Mary looked at my thumb and told me I had scar tissue building up. After several meetings I regained full range of motion and grip in my thumb. I have not experienced any lingering issues. I would recommend Mary to anyone needing a competent physical therapist.

I was in a bad car accident 15 years ago. I required weeks of intensive physical therapy to fix the back injury I sustained in the accident. What I did not know at the time was I also had whiplash that went undiagnosed. Years later, my arms started going numb and I was experiencing shooting pains down both arms, from my shoulder to my fingers. Worried, I reached out to Dr. Chu who was able to quickly assess the situation and recognize that I was experiencing symptoms of whiplash. From there, she prescribed a series of strengthening exercises as well as weekly sessions with her. I was able to finally

She is a great mobile physical therapist that I will be recommending to all my friends and family is the need should ever arise!

A few months ago, I decided that I needed to get in shape and get my before-two-babies body back! I signed up for a fitness class and actually showed up pumped to workout. Towards the end of the workout, the instructor asked the class to perform some crunches. I thought to myself, this is going to be easy! I positioned myself and began to crunch but nothing happened. I was confused. I tried again. Nothing. I tried one more time and used all my might and I could barely pull myself off the floor.
Next, the instructor asked the class to perform 30-second planks. This time I thought, ok… it has
