Testimonials

“Kathleen has given me my life back! I was in a severe accident in 2006, had to have spinal fusion surgery, and worked with five separate physical therapists. Of the five physical therapists with whom I worked, Kathleen is the only one with whom I have experienced long-lasting relief. I attribute that to Kathleen’s deep knowledge about myofascial pain and treatment, her skilled listening and cooperative working style, as well as the fact that she spends an entire hour manually working on me. I have never experienced such one-on-one, dedicated service from a physical therapist before. Because of Kathleen, I have been able to resume normal activities that I never thought I’d be able to again, not to mention enjoying many pain-free days. I just couldn’t imagine going through my life in chronic pain, and thanks to Kathleen, I don’t have to.

"Kathleen Troust is the only medical professional who gave me real help with a badly swollen and very painful knee that was affecting my entire body. I had run the gamut from orthopedists to chiropractors, and no one seemed to know what to do. Then Dr. Ana Acevedo sent me to Kathleen. In a just a few appointments I felt better and moved with more ease. Her technique is impeccable.”

I spent the past three to four years figuring out how best to relieve a bruised tailbone and resulting soreness in legs and hips that made it extremely uncomfortable and sometimes painful to sit for long periods or even short periods of time. I had tried several physical therapists and physical medicine doctors. It was not until I met Kathleen that I found substantial relief from this discomfort. She is truly creative and attentive in her approach. She gives you a minimum of one hour for each visit because she knows it takes adequate time and attention to figure out how best to relieve or manage your pain. Kathleen offered both manual therapy and exercises to relieve my pain and really sought to find out what stresses, life practices may contribute to the problem rather than giving merely topical treatment. I appreciated her sincerity, level of experience, and professionalism."

I am so relieved to find a knowledgeable, gentle yet strong, and attentive/sensitive body worker in Kathleen. Her expertise, knowledge, intuitive sense, professionalism and sensitivity are an integral part of my healing process. I am extremely grateful for her service.  Thank you again! I'm so glad I found you.

Kathleen is professional, competent and compassionate. She intuitively discovers the areas of greatest sensitivity, and then gently guides through a release of pain, which may sometimes be emotional as well as physical. Her style is positive, direct and warm, and she will make you feel comfortable with whatever issue you are facing. I highly recommend her to you in working through your pain.

Kathleen's approach to my injuries has been professional and measured. She continuously adjusts my rehab program to accommodate my progress, something missing in many traditional PT programs. The one-on-one hour and her expert observation of how I am doing allows for much more specific interventions. Topping all that off could be called, maybe, intuition? She has a clear understanding of the intersection between how we heal and the barriers our bodies and minds erect to slow that process. Sharing that insight has helped me in many ways, motivation, peace and patience.

As a colleague of Kathleen's, I can say without reservation that she is an amazingly talented, caring, and competent therapist. I refer and will continue to refer patients to Kathleen without hesitation - knowing they are in the very best hands (and heart).

Relax!

Not as easy as it sounds for me, especially not after a terrifying Helicopter Accident this past year. We were gratuitously spared our lives but not without leaving some strenuous muscle pains and soft tissue damage to help remember that day. After the accident I went trough the normal recommended PT that the physicians had recommend but pulling on rubber bands and bending over a ball did not do the trick for me. Then I found Kathleen and Quantum PT. What a great approach to wellness. My mind and body have both found a better place. I have been able to relive my muscle pain and free my mind in ways traditional PT would not have been able to provide.

Try it! You won’t be sorry!

Kathleen has a very strong awareness of her patients' needs and approaches healing with a whole-body concept. The healing techniques address all causes of pain, and help us reconnect with our bodies and begin the healing process in a positive and nurturing way."

Kathleen has treated me on two occasions for injuries. The first time I was so completely amazed as it was such a non-scary process. Never having had physical therapy before, I was nervous. Once we got started, however, Kathleen made me feel very comfortable and working with her was something I actually enjoyed! And, I learned so much. Needless to say that when I needed PT again for yet another sports injury, I went directly to Kathleen. With what I am learning from her, I hope I will be able to stay out of trouble, this time for good!

 Kathleen helped me with the ' heart' pain not just the strained muscle in my chest. ...holistic as well as a great technician..."

If you've had lots of injuries, like I have, then you're probably familiar with the traditional, large rehab facilities. If so, then during your first visit you may be a bit ... concerned by the lack of "stuff" at Kathleen's place. No cardio machines, no fancy weights or balance toys. But don't let the sparseness fool you -- Kathleen is amazingly perceptive and adept at discerning what ails you (physically and mentally) and can truly focus her treatments accordingly.   She will work with you not just to treat a particular injury or condition, but help you understand how your body is working (or not working!) and how you can change that. My only real complaint is that I moved 1,000 miles away before we finished treatment...."

Kathleen is a genious. She has taught me how to better understand my body and taught me specific measurable practices that I can use to relax and heal my body. After 20 years fo severe back pain and discomfort, I feel I have a new lease on life.”

 Kathleen Troust is a truly gifted and intuitive physical therapist.  I went to her because of chronic pain in the area of my coccyx (tailbone) which had become so severe that sitting and walking were extremely uncomfortable.  After going to various doctors who were unable to diagnose or help me, Kathleen began to give me relief after the first session that I had with her.  I was skeptical as to whether myofascial release would help me, but Kathleen soon showed me how effective and how powerful these techniques are.  She is very attentive to the patient's particular circumstances and she really took the time to investigate my symptoms.  At every session that I had with her, she was totally present and focused and I always felt she was giving me 100% of her time.

Kathleen is an amazing physical therapist and person, who gives of herself everyday and generously opens possibilities for others. Before seeing Kathleen, I didn't realize the power of the connection between the mind and the body. I knew there was a connection, yes, but I didn't really feel what that meant. Kathleen helped me to find and feel that connection, thereby allowing for the opportunity to move beyond the cycle of emotional stress and the manifestation of physical pain and discomfort in my life. Kathleen meshes great physical therapeutic skills with remarkable intuitive capabilities that allow her to fully reach each person where they are, and to assist them on their path to greater wellness. "-  Susan H.

Kathleen is a gifted and dedicated teacher and practitioner. I have used more traditional physical therapy methods in the past and have experienced only limited relief from my pain.  The benefits of working with Kathleen have been incomparable. Kathleen has taught me to see the connection between the physical, mental and emotional dimensions and how to acknowledge each of those components to address and alleviate my physical pain. I have regained my strength after an extensive second back surgery and l have learned how to manage my own discomfort through exercises and relaxation. I feel lucky to have found Kathleen as she has made a big difference in my quality of life." - Anne C.

 

 Kathleen is extremely intuitive, compassionate, and helpful in her practice of awakening the mind/body connection in her patients.” - Ann P.
