What to Expect from Physical Therapy at Engram Therapy and Wellness Clinic

Your therapy journey begins with a comprehensive assessment, including a full review of your medical history and past treatments, a movement analysis to evaluate posture, balance, and gait, and strength and flexibility testing to identify muscle imbalances. From there, a personalized treatment plan is created, focused on pain relief and restoring mobility. As you progress, your plan evolves to ensure you receive the most effective treatments at every stage of recovery.

Success Stories & Testimonials

“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!”

Michelle Shvartser

“Carla, the owner of Engram Therapy and Wellness Clinic has tremendous compassion, patience and medical expertise. Not only is she a physical therapist, she also has a nursing background. We hired her using private insurance (which was covered) to work with our loved one who resides in a nursing home after having a stroke. Carla never gave up on my loved one. My sister gets frustrated and can lash out, but Carla managed to stay on my sister’s good side. My sister has achieved her PT goals of transferring, standing and even walking.”

Jane Smith

“ We connected with Engram about a year ago. My husband had been in the hospital after issues with frequent falling. He is a stroke victim and has PAD.

Carla began working with him when he could barely stand up or get out of bed without falling. What was so great was that she tailored the therapy to his individual needs. She worked with him in real time and in our home.

My husband has made huge strides

His falling incidents have decreased . He was able to travel for a family weekend. He did not fall once and the family was amazed at his progress.

We are so grateful for Carla and Engramfor enriching our life!”
