Physical Therapy in Santa Cruz

“After doing various forms of exercise over the last 30+ years, I started Pilates at Monarch and immediately saw a difference in my posture and strength. The focus of understanding how the exercises work the different muscles improved the workout immensely and the small class size means you receive personal corrections and feedback to be safe. I can now lift my granddaughter with proper form and enjoy playing at the playground without restriction or pain. Monarch Pilates has helped me to keep living my life as I always have and to continue to build strength as I age instead of losing it“

“Super professional with a right flare of friendliness. Felt very comfortable moving forward with my diagnosis and all they have to offer there.“

“I have had persistent pain on my left shoulder that extends down my body. The day after my treatment the pain was gone, I felt lightness I haven't felt in years, and my posture was aligned. Jenny's expertise and knowledge of the body is unparalleled, I highly recommend her.“

“My 80+ year-old Dad's life has been changed by Dr. Chris' regime of physical therapy and home exercises.

Over the past fifty years, Dad has had other Physical Therapists but none that resulted in him following through with the home exercises.

Discussing this as a family, we think it is partly because Dr Chris sent him home with adult-type exercises involving apparatuses used for resistance and body weight exercises at his office sessions. The other piece is that he greatly enjoys how Dr. Chris works out with him.

Dr. Chris gave him a pulley system that hooked to a closed door and two types of bands. These are Dad's to keep.

Also included is a website login that Dad uses to log his reps. The site shows videos of all the exercises he has been assigned to do that week.

Everyone at the office has been warm, kind, and upbeat. My parents love the vibe.“

“Jenni's extensive knowledge of the workings of the body, whether it is muscles, tendons, nerves, movement, or even what you eat that effects those areas, is unsurpassed. She is a master at working out all the pulls and kinks that happen in daily life, and her expertise in proper movement, correct posture, and all things physical has kept me pain-free and active for many years. I have been seeing Jenni for a monthly massage for over 5 years, and she is, without a doubt, the BEST massage therapist in Santa Cruz!“
