Quintessence Physical Therapy

I recommend physical therapist, Swapnali Chadhary of Quintessence Therapy, without reservation. Unlike large PT companies where you spend most of your time with a tech assistant, you get her attention for the entire session. She listens to your progress reports and to your concerns and then tailors sessions to address your needs. Her guidelines for home exercises are excellent--with the posting of her notes and instructions and videos to show you the correct way to do the exercises she recommends. I have every confidence that she is going to help me gain greater mobility of my arm after a complete shoulder replacement.

Excellent service and highly experienced physical therapist! I highly recommend Swapnali at Quintessence Physical Therapy. She is the owner and has been running her PT clinic for 4 years now but have been in the profession for decades. I always feel so much better after each session, both physically and mentally. She strives to give her patients the best every time by taking lots of notes and paying full attention to the cause of the symptoms so that we could get to the root of the problem. Each session usually lasts for 90 minutes where we talked through my injury holistically, such as regular postures, sleeping patterns, stress levels, diet, exercising, trigger for the pain, etc. so that we could come up with a plan and long lasting solution.

I was very impressed with Swapnali's knowledge and attention to detail with muscle testing and myofascial release techniques. I saw her for some hip pain I had been having for about a month. She is patient, kind, and took the time, one-on-one with me to listen and ask questions attentively. She was able to pinpoint some muscle imbalances I had and helped me to retrain the weak areas. The exercises/homework she prescribed were clear cut and easy to follow on the patient portal, and she made sure that I understood them well in the office. She answered any questions I had with patience. I am back to running without pain after a couple of weeks. I am thankful for her care and will return to her if needed.

For over five years, I had a "chronic UTI". Spent countless time and money on doctors visits and treatments with no luck. I found through my own research that pelvic floor therapy could work as a last ditch effort for those in my situation. I was honestly not optimistic. But during my first appointment with Swapnali, I started to feel relief in a way I hadn't in years. It was so overwhelming that I cried. I am very grateful for this, as it validated my pain and gave me hope for living pain-free in the future. Swapnali is very professional, caring, and incredibly knowledgeable. I would recommend Quintessence Physical Therapy to anyone in need of her services!

I am so grateful I was referred to Swapnali. I am 41 and was in a panic about the pelvic floor issues I was experiencing. I went to a surgeon because I had no idea what was happening (even though I'm a physician!), and she immediately referred me to Quintessence for physical therapy. I knew very little about pelvic floor therapy and was so confused and desperate. Thankfully, Swapnali was able to see me right away. I have never experienced this or any type of pain prior so I had no idea what to expect. She was immediately calming. I was so impressed by the amount of time she spent with me, asking about my history and trying to get to the bottom of what was occurring. Swapnali is so incredibly thorough and knowledgeable. Each session, I was surprised by her techniques and the successful results I was getting. She made sure to explain everything to me so that I could understand what was happening to my body. She was always there for me during my setbacks (I would get triggered while traveling) and responded promptly to my urgent messages asking for help. I always feel better when I leave from her office. I am diligent about doing my exercises so definitely recommend doing the same. I am getting back to feeling like myself (no surgery needed!) and I will be forever grateful because it was all starting to become debilitating. I refer everyone I know to her!

I was referred to Quintessence PT by a friend after experiencing issues with ongoing foot and back pain. Previously, I had been seeing a physical therapy practice without much success. Swapnali takes her time and asks questions to truly understand the potential root causes of your issues. I can tell she really wants you to leave her office feeling better, and not just rush you out the door for the next patient. Her exercises are quite different from anything I’ve done before, but if you take them seriously and do them as instructed, you will begin to notice your body moving and feeling better. Different from many conventional practices, Swapnali uses techniques to get your brain and body to work in harmony, and it’s very fascinating. I highly recommend this practice.

I was referred to Quintessence Physical Therapy for pelvic floor physical therapy and right sided low back pain. I had waited 2 months prior to seeking care thinking it was a pulled/ strained back muscle as the pain would come and go. When I met Swapnali, I felt relaxed while wondering what the therapy would entail. She took a very thorough health history, including asking about accidents and injuries that happened decades ago, in order to get the whole picture of what my body has been through. She related that many people do not think about injuries they may have sustained years prior that will actually affect their body functioning now. Her knowledge of the human body and its abilities has been impressive. After testing me each visit to see how things may or may not be improving, Swapnali holistically addresses the entire body and connects areas that one would not think are related to the muscles/ ligaments you want help with. In addition, she has found a couple of areas that I was not too concerned with but feel better now that we have worked on them. This has been a very enlightening and thought provoking process for me. Her detailed instructions, including videos, to follow at home after demonstrating in the clinic are incredibly helpful. While my therapy is still in progress, I am noting improvement overall thus far. I happily recommend Ms. Chaudhary to anyone having issues requiring physical therapy.

I highly recommend Quintessence Therapy as an outstanding choice for physical therapy. I came here with ongoing knee issues that were worsened by my karate classes, which I started with my son. My knee often felt unstable—this began years ago with an ankle injury from running on concrete. I tried physiotherapy back then, which worked to strengthen the muscles around my knee, but the discomfort never fully resolved and would flare up occasionally. At Quintessence Therapy, I began seeing results within weeks through targeted exercises. This practice takes a holistic approach, focusing on identifying and addressing the root causes rather than just the symptoms. The therapist is incredibly thorough, assessing different muscle groups to reveal overactive and underactive muscles that had developed long ago. She was able to identify issues with my core strength and core muscle engagement—something I have struggled with for as long as I can remember. She also addressed issues that had been bothering me since my pregnancy. I ended up healing much more than I initially expected, which I attribute to the practice's systematic approach. The therapist’s expertise is impressive, and she goes above and beyond with a level of care I have rarely experienced elsewhere. I am now a strong believer in Neurokinetic Therapy and have recommended this practice to many of my friends. I feel confident that the progress I’ve made here will help keep me pain-free and allow me to continue enjoying karate with my son.
