I rarely write online reviews, but I felt the need to write this review. In June I had an episode where I went to visit a Chiropractor for an acid reflux issue (foolish of me) for just a consultation and the lady who was a substitute literally broke my back, in the name of just examining. I was in so much pain in my lower back, thighs and gluteal muscles that I could barely walk. My doctor suggested I go to physical therapy, after two unsuccessful attempts, I came across Shalaka's website and called her immediately. My first session, I saw relief, by 5th session I was walking pain free. She used ultrasound therapy that started healing my tightened muscles in the pelvic and gluteal area. Shalaka was patient and listened to my concerns, the main thing she pointed out was how I was still in shock and trauma from that event and discussed in great detail how I have to overcome it. She used manual therapy to ease my muscles too and that really helped me. I am glad I found her and I highly recommend her to women who have pelvic issues, issues with tailbone, gluteal muscles, as well as lower back and back issues.
I cannot praise my experience with Shalaka enough! After giving birth, I was dealing with weak and tight pelvic floor issues that were causing physical discomfort and stress of whether my body would ever become how it used to be. When I first started seeing her, I had minor incontinence issues to where I was always "searching" for a bathroom to make sure it was nearby when in public, painful intercourse due to post-delivery scar tissue, and the fear of returning to weight training with a weakened pelvic floor and core. Over the course of approximately 12 weeks, Shalaka worked wonders. She not only addressed my problems but also completely transformed my quality of life. By the end of our treatments, I was free from incontinence and pain during intercourse was a thing of hte past. I didn't even think twice about the pain, inconveniencem or worry that these two caused. Additionally, I was confidently back in the gym even doing barbell squats!What sets Shalaka apart is her extraordinary skills and magical hands. At every appointment, she skillfully combine internal and external exams, including deep tissue massage to release tight areas, followed by tailored exercises aimed at strengthening the pelvic floor. Her hands seem to have some kind of magic because she could instantly identify and target the exact areas that needed attention. Beyond her expertise, she was always punctual and responsive to texts. She genuinely cared about my well-being, regularly inquiring about my progresss and even asking about how my baby was doing. Her bedside maners are top-notch, and her patience, compassion, and openness making the entire experience more comfortable and reassuring. The most exciting news is that she also provides support for the transgender community in addressing pelvic floor concerns. My body feels normal again and I am grateful for her outstanding care and expertise. If you are seeking a pelvic floor therapist, I highly recommend her. She has truly made a wold of a difference and I couldn't be any happier with the results. Thank you Shalaka for everything you've done for my body and l look forward to seeing you again with my next pregnancy!
