First and foremost, Dr. Campesi is an outstanding physical therapist. Secondly, and equally important, she is the nicest, most cheerful person to work with – a pure delight, which is certainly what you want when you’re in pain. Dr. Campesi has worked wonders for me for over 8 years.

Before meeting her, I threw my back out multiple times so badly that I was incapacitated for days each time. I had almost no flexibility and was fearful of engaging in physical activity. Caroline helped me develop not only a GREAT deal more flexibility but also strength in my core. She taught me how to stretch my hips and use my core muscles to keep my back protected. Happy back, happy body!

If I had a flare-up, or if other issues arose, such as arthritis in my knees and hands, Caroline quickly determined the best way to alleviate the pain. I cannot overstate how much she has helped in my daily life. She taught me how to stretch and exercise to maintain my strength and flexibility. More importantly, she gave me cues on how to do so properly so that I don’t stress problem areas. All of this has resulted in me being much more active and confident without any acute flare-ups for years. She has worked similar miracles for my husband and friends to whom I have referred her. She is the absolute best.

After years of suffering from pain and tightness related to scoliosis, I now successfully manage my symptoms with Caroline’s help. She patiently explained scoliosis’ impact on the entire body, so I could make modifications in my movement/activity to work with, not against, my condition.

Genuinely caring about her patients, she takes time to listen, tailoring exercises, and incorporating Schroth with other modalities to treat chronic tightness/pain resulting from decades of working at a desk. For the first time in over a decade, I could work without pain/tightness.

Caroline’s honesty about my prognosis, as well as helping me see that with consistent commitment and adherence to the Schroth routine she designed, I could live an active lifestyle for decades to come, literally changed my life.

I first saw Eric when I could no longer take the low back pain from work and commuting (after nearly a year). He quickly addressed that my "remedies" were actually making the condition worse and were able to use dry needling with electrical stimulation to provide immediate relief.

I later saw him when I was in my final trimester of pregnancy and again, my back was killing me. He helped identify some safe exercises that I could do to help manage my pain throughout the day and bring my hips in alignment. Postpartum I continued to see him for related back and hip pain. I was so impressed with his ability to tailor the treatments to my needs. He worked on balance, stability, soft tissue (massage), dry needling, and cupping depending on how my week went and my body was doing.

His extensive knowledge of the body, willingness to listen, and also continuous drive to learn more techniques make him among the best. Further, he is very nice, engaging, and has been so flexible and accommodating with scheduling home visits that it is really a pleasure to work with him. I highly recommend him for anyone, but especially those that have seen other doctors without success and want to try an array of treatment options to find what suits them best.

I ended up visiting 5 surgeons other than my prior surgeon about surgery to correct my spine. Caroline recommended that I meet Dr. O'Brien. I want to thank her for that recommendation. I ended up selecting him and he performed a PSO (pedicle subtraction osteotomy).

It went amazingly well and I now stand upright. I was out of the hospital and rehab in less than 2 weeks. I was walking the day after the surgery. He saved my life...and by default Caroline did too. I believe things happen for a reason and that we were meant to meet...had I not met Caroline I never would've known about Dr. O'Brien. Many thanks!

From the perspective of a daughter of an aging father, Schroth DC 200% delivered! And not just PT! Let me be clear: the PT was exceptional! It kept my father honing his balance and increasing his strength, and every session was custom-made for his needs.

As invaluable as his physical therapy was, equally important was the confidence he regained, and the agency he felt as he worked on his goals under the superb guidance of Caroline and Eric. These weekly PT sessions kept the flame of hope alive and contributed more to his quality of life than they will ever know.

Thank you both - I would recommend you with 100 stars if I could.
