Success Stories & Testimonials
“I originally came to Engram due to a problem with my knee buckling. After several months of therapy, my knee healed and I’m again able to walk without fear of falling. After my successful knee therapy, I knew that Engram was the place to go if I ever needed physical therapy again. Well, after years of heavy weightlifting, I developed a lot of pain in my elbows and I needed to return to Engram for more PT. While I’m still in therapy twice a week, there is clear progress being made. Thanks a million to Carla for all her great work. I feared long term physical limitations due to aging, but with Carla’s help at Engram, I feel 20 years younger. Five big stars for Carla and Engram!”

“Engram therapy is phenomenal!
I started working with Carla on a mutual client. She is attentive to her clients needs, compassionate, and always trying to help the clients achieve their functional goals.
The wound care work she did for my client’s wound was amazing. In less then a month, she was able to bring down the swelling and resolve the issue.
Regarding PT, she was able to see quickly the physical needs that needed to be met. She customized the treatment and was able to get my client walking steadily and with appropriate cane.
Thank you Carla and Engram Therapy!”
