I am especially grateful for the amazing positive effect Denise has on the days I take my mom to PT. Denise has helped my mom with her knee pain and one day, she noticed something was different. Mom had a misplaced left kneecap and Denise was able to use kinesiology tape to fix it. Denise does amazing work!

I saw Denise at The Manual Touch recently for sciatic pain, that only the day before I saw Denise kept me from walking; I could only hobble for short distances before I would sit down and collapse. After some tissue work and gentle exercise with Denise, she put Kinesiotape around the affected area. I immediately noticed stability and pain improvement and could walk so much better that I was able to complete shopping trips to 4 stores I had been planning but did not think I could do. To me, the t… Read more

I was in Florida for vacation and developed an upper respiratory infection. I had annoying coughing and congestion in my chest. This went on for several days, and it was not getting better. It felt like I had a mucous plug stuck in my chest that would not break up. One night I remembered the self-treatment that Denise taught me at The Manual Touch where I had received PT, putting one hand over the afflicted area, and one hand near my abdomen where mucous could drain out. After about 5-10 minutes… Read more

I was referred to Denise by Karen Brownlee, my instructor at the Northbrook YMCA.  I had a pain in my right biceps muscle, possibly from trying a biceps dip exercise.  This was after consulting with my orthopedic doctor, who had prescribed two types of medication, both of which were ineffective.  As a result, I continued to have difficulty lifting my right arm beyond shoulder height. I met with Denise and liked that it was just her and no one else.  Having gone through physical therapy ma… Read more

After withstanding severe lower back pain and an epidural that didn’t do much, I came to Denise, who is helping me strengthen my core and right leg in order to ease the back stress. At almost 71, I have adopted her exercises at home and I can now easily get into the driver’s side of my car without the excruciating pain, and the improvement in day to day activities is noticeable. Thanks Denise.

I first met Denise at a networking event and began talking with her about my tennis injuries, particularly my right torn meniscus which was giving me trouble. She suggested that I come to her studio and she would have a look and help me with some exercises. So, I did exactly that – scheduled an assessment. Denise looked at my entire body (not just my knee) and explained that my core was weak and I really needed to work on strengthening it. She gave me exercises and also recommended that I work… Read more

I felt much better after initial visit and even more so after the second.  I would not have believed I could see such an improvement in how I felt after only two sessions.
