I came to see Gianna because I was having a lot of weird symptoms, and being a runner that tends to happen. I was coming back from an injury that has taken me over a year to heal. I had two bilateral tibia stress fractures, and although they healed, the pain in my shins and calves were still there, and giving me trouble. Furthermore, I was having some issues with my lower-back and hips. Gianna is a remarkable person and therapist, she really helped guide me with exercises to enable me to continue running, and I feel so much better!! I think I saw Gianna 4 or 5 times, and what I really liked was that every session there was a purpose, and there was a goal to achieve. I always feel like I am in an assembly line at other PT places I have gone, and they ask you want is wrong and then just treat the one area. Gianna doesn’t do that, she takes her time to really figure out what is going on, and makes it her mission to get you back out there. I’ve been an athlete my whole life, and I have my own running coaching & personal training business now, so having someone like Gianna in my corner is incredibly important both as an athlete and a coach/trainer. I highly recommend Gianna to all my clients, and to anyone who is looking for someone who truly wants to help you and get you healthy! Pic of me running my first race back in over a year! Ran a 5K and won :-)

Dr. Gianna Bigliani Cetkowski is a gem. I first saw her for an injury years ago and have gone back from time to time for "tune-ups" and counsel on an exercise routine for maintenance and protection from further injury. Most recently, I worked with her in her new practice and found the longer, one-on-one sessions incredibly helpful. She is knowledgeable, skilled, responsive, and detail-oriented. She was able to extend what my podiatrist diagnosed into a whole-body approach, to investigate how the entire body might be at play in the localized symptom. She is also enthusiastic, encouraging, and understanding: a perfect combination of encouraging discipline and self-care and also working with the patient where they are. A positive and hopeful attitude about recovery and setting goals for the future. Instead of warning me not to run because of my injury, she helped me set plans and goals to work toward that. It helps immensely with motivation and recovery too. I would recommend Gianna to anyone with an injury, or without, if you want input on how best to take care of your body so that you can engage in the activities you need and want to.

After a car accident, I was suffering from new injuries on top of old nagging injuries from years of instructing dance and fitness classes. My injuries were so bothersome and chronic that I ended up having to give up teaching. I spent years in treatment only to have temporary relief from pain. The pain would always return hours or a day later. As a very active person, I was not able to continue work and my lifestyle. It was only until I was referred to Dr. Wenger did he highly recommend I seek treatment at fluid physio. He explained that too often traditional physical therapy treatment falls short. After my first session with Terry, I could see a major difference in the treatment and care. The one-on-one sessions truly made a difference. Also, I recently had shoulder/clavicle surgery. It was very easy to get through recovery because of all the manual work and exercises Terry had given me prior to surgery. I am still in treatment and very happy to say I am finally on the road back to an active lifestyle. For me, the education and the treatment at fluid physio have been priceless. Dawn

I have been working with Dr. Biglianni for just over a month to address shoulder weakness stemming from a pair of old injuries suffered over 30 years ago. My back muscles, pectorals, and shoulder muscles have a hard time working together, due to bad habits developed over the years to compensate for those injuries, making it difficult for me to raise my hands over my head, and even more difficult to keep them raised. Dr. Biglianni has been thorough in working to identify the source of the problem, and persistent in working with me to start to reverse the years of atrophy. She challenges me to work hard, and is warm and encouraging at the same time. She has also reached out to coordinate with my personal trainer at the gym, to communicate where I need work and ensure that my entire exercise regimen is consistent and well thought out. She really knows her stuff - I recommend her enthusiastically.

I went to see Dr. Gianna about a problem in my right thigh, and ended up going back for a neck problem. In only four sessions, she made a huge difference to both of them. She allows a full hour for hands-on therapy, which is a completely different experience from all the other times I had physio, where the therapist worked with me for maybe 10 minutes, and then left me to do exercises by myself. For the problem in my thigh, she diagnosed the issue as actually residing in my lower back and my posture. After I complained that I seemed to only get pain when I was driving or in a plane seat, Dr. Gianna made me sit in my car and adjusted my seat to ensure I was less likely to sit incorrectly. Dr. Gianna is a wonderful therapist with great instincts and a holistic approach to addressing her patients issues.

Doctor Gianna’s practice is built on individual attention and care resulting in positive results and improved well being. I was struggling with shoulder stiffness and inability to reach without pain. Luckily I was referred to Doctor Gianna by one of her patients. After the first visit I knew I was in good hands. The searing pain is gone and I am regaining my range of motion. My recovery was a bit more complicated as I have Parkinson’s disease. Doctor Gianni quickly became part of my support team and has provided my neurologist and trainer with treatment updates to ensure the best possible outcome. I feel blessed to have found a caring and talented professional that has kept the practice of high quality and individualized care above the business of therapy.

After seeing many physical therapists in typical assembly-line fashion, getting 5 injections over the course of 4 years, traction, nerve tests, MRIs, medication, and seeing several doctors for my lower back pain, I ended up changing my line of work for permanent relief. When the pain came back 8 years later, Dr. Gianna Bigliani was not only able to locate the cause of my pain, but was able to help me make it go away forever. In my previous physical therapy clinics, the heat pad, ultrasound, and traction would feel nice at the time, but they never permanently solved my problem. Gianna was able to educate me in the cause of my problem, and how to I can effectively keep it from coming back without her help.

After attending a clinic at my CrossFit gym where Dr. Gianna discovered the root of my shoulder pain, I did a few sessions with her in order to rehab the area. Scheduling was flexible and convenient, as sessions can be done in the comfort of ones own home. Dr. Gianna is very knowledgeable, personable, professional, and efficient. I was on my own with exercises she provided and reviewed with me after only three sessions, the pain is nearly gone, and I have more body awareness for all the tough weightlifting movements. Definitely recommend Dr. Giannas services!
