Charmaine Rhine Biofeedback, Pain Coaching, and Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy

After being in physical therapy for months, yet still experiencing muscular tension and anxiety, my physical therapist recommended biofeedback with Charmaine Rhine to me. At my first appointment I was aware of three things that right away made a positive difference. (1) I felt safe. Charmaine was welcoming and compassionate which immediately put me at ease. (2) Charmaine explained the process of biofeedback in a way I could understand and why it is so effective. (3) The actual experience of biofeedback was complete relaxation. I could actually breathe deeply and for an asthmatic that is huge. Meeting Charmaine and incorporating biofeedback has made such a positive difference in my life for which I am very grateful.

Charmaine is wonderful. She provides high-quality, compassionate care. She has a lot of professional knowledge and personal experience with chronic pain and several health issues. She is someone who really gets it. I initially went to her for biofeedback, and I got so much more. As she listened to my concerns, I felt understood and respected, which made it easier to open up and share my fears and frustrations. Being able to release that in a safe place and have my feelings validated was healing in itself. I also did physical therapy with her for my neck and shoulder issues. The biofeedback helped me to learn how to relax my tight muscles and the physical therapy gave me exercises to increase strength and stability. She tailored my treatment to my needs at a pace that was perfect for me. She encouraged and motivated me while always checking in with how I was doing. At times she would recommend that I reduce or slow my exercise pace so I wouldn’t overdo it and have a setback. She gave me information and tools to help manage my chronic pain, as well as referrals to other practitioners. She has a wealth of information that she is eager to share. I am not currently under her care, but if she comes across some information that she feels will be helpful she will email it to me. She really cares and takes those extra steps to show it. Charmaine will help support you on your healing journey.

Charmaine is a natural healer and approaches problems from a deep level of working to get to the root of a problem. Her years of working as a physical therapist enable her to “see” an issue in her clients and then to question further and to actively listen, as well as intuit to a deeper level. Her process is thorough, and she is open to shift direction as needed. Her biofeedback sessions have helped me with anxiety and bladder issues. The breath work, through biofeedback, is quite illuminating and the change it has brought to me has helped me to break long held patterns that have helped my healing.

I feel so lucky that I found Charmaine. She’s exactly what I needed in my healing chronic pain process. We talked a lot about how I got here and how to get through it. She’s thoughtful, kind, patient, caring and super knowledgeable. I’ve seen so many people who want me to push through it but Charmaine taught me that I can love myself and relax through pain and the process of stepping out of it. If you need someone on your side who knows what you are going through I can’t recommend her enough.

I have worked with Charmaine Rhine for many years for my chronic back pain. She worked with me for physical therapy, Pilates strengthening exercises, biofeedback for pain management, and gave me both physical & moral support. She is very professional, well educated, friendly & personable..
