"I had lost all movement in my wrist and fingers after my accident and subsequent surgeries. Not only did Mirella help me regain motion, her expertise and knowledgeable answers to my many questions comforted me during the process. I couldn't have asked for a better person to assist me through one of the hardest moments of my life. I highly recommend Mirella to anyone looking for rehabilitation."

I love playing tennis and have played for many years but I developed lateral epicondylitis a year ago that prevented me from being able to play. Mirella provided me with an understanding of my injury and she gave me exercises and strategies that I could do for myself to prevent aggravation of my symptoms. I'm back to playing tennis several times each week and if I feel my symptoms coming back I know exactly what to do!

Mirella helped me get back to weight training after I ruptured my biceps. I've been weight training most of my life and after my biceps repair surgery I wanted to get back to the gym. Mirella helped me understand the healing process and found ways for me to be able to get a good workout without compromising the repair. I was gradually able to start strengthening again and Mirella was able to talk me through how to get back to my work-outs safely.
