I reached out to Old Post PT to see if there was anything that could be done for my persistent tension headaches. After a brief discussion with the manager (Kelly), I decided to try craniosacral therapy. When I visited for treatment, the therapist (Lynn) took her time to get to know exactly what was ailing me and, through a series of questions about my day-to-day life and prior medical history, identified the likely causes of the headaches. She then proceeded to perform the treatment while going to great lengths to explain to me exactly what she was doing and why. She was very transparent about the fact that there is little research to validate the treatment, particularly in light of the lack of measureable outcomes that exist for other treatments such as those aimed at improving range of motion. The treatment itself involved very light physical interaction - she was feeling for the faint contractions and expansions of various locations on my body that result from the movement of cerebrospinal fluid. She correctly surmised that I had trouble with my left knee (an old sports injury) based on the difference she felt in parts of that leg compared to the other leg. After completing the survey of various points from head to toe, she focused on the areas around my head and neck where the fluid movement was being constrained by muscular tension. In these areas, she spent the remainder of the hour gently assisting the movement. The effect was calming and lulling. On several occasions I began to drift to sleep. Needless to say, the tension which had been unbearable earlier in the day was gone. The session would have been worth it just for this period of intense relaxation. After the therapy concluded, we discussed the ways that I could reduce the muscular tension that was causing the headaches (posture at work and during my commute, home treatment, physical positioning and stretches for when the tension is particularly bad). It has been a few days since my visit and the headaches have noticeably subsided. I look forward to returning very soon for another session with the hope that I can rid myself of the headaches after a few more visits. Beyond the actual therapy and the results, I found the overall experience to be very positive. The staff was extremely friendly and responsive, clearly demonstrating a desire to excel at customer service. I was sent the paperwork in advance to fill out prior to my visit, giving me the option to avoid wasting time upon arrival (why doesn’t everyone do this?). I knew going in that they didn’t take insurance, but I was thrilled when the staff spent time with me after the appointment to provide me with all of the paperwork that I could use to submit a claim for outpatient service reimbursement. If something ails you physically and you are considering professional treatment, I would highly recommend Old Post PT.

I have had a shoulder problem for months. My Dr. gave me some pain medication and said if it did not get better, go to another Dr. and get a cortisone shot. I have been to see Kelly for a few weeks now. My range of motion is 100% better and my pain has reduced significantly. She works with me weekly and gives me stretches and exercises to do at home. I feel the one on one attention I get from her is why I am improving so quickly. Kelly is a caring professional and a wealth of knowledge. I would recommend her to anyone including my family and friends! Mike Blick

Working one on one is very effective. Kelly has been able to help me reach full extension after surgery and to get rid of scar tissue. She never rushes the appointment and is very focused. I highly recommend her.
