Testimonials

“I had been to see many doctors, other physical therapist groups, and, also, two neuro specialists. All said there was nothing they could do...after the very first session I noted improvement, but I thought it might be imaginary. After the second session I knew it was for real...and within three sessions I had regained 90% of my normal condition.”

“Francie Marzec is a rare find in the world of physical therapy. She has helped me more in three one-on-one sessions than has occurred in a month’s worth of appointments (3x a week) in a more traditional PT setting, where I was intermittently attended to and “parked” for heat/sim treatments, or to perform sets of exercises on my own. Her techniques are hands-on, gentle, and patient and she unravels not just the symptoms of your body’s imbalance but, more importantly, the causes. She is kind, knowledgeable, warm, and committed and clearly derives great joy from helping her clients return to a more balanced and vibrant state. While she works with you, she helps you to understand more about your body and how it works so that you can learn how to become a better advocate for your own health, and a partner in your own progress.”

“HIGHLY recommended—several months ago, I began to experience a mobility issue with my right shoulder. Because I knew Francie casually through business networking, I called her up. At my first appointment, she asked me detailed questions about which motions and activities triggered the discomfort. After developing a clearer picture, Francie went to work. Sometimes she would work a group of muscles that seemed to be completely unrelated to my shoulder, yet each time, I could feel huge improvements. By the end of my visit, I felt like a new person, which was a happy surprise. A couple weeks later, my shoulder began to act up again, so Francie scheduled me for another appointment. Once again, she worked very energetically on various sets of muscles, each contributing to relief. And once again, I walked out feeling completely renewed, and – five months later- I have experienced no other troubles with my shoulder. Back when the trouble first occurred, I pictured myself potentially having to go to weeks or months of physical therapy, but Francie only scheduled me for as much as I needed and no more. I really appreciate that. Francie not only has a deep knowledge of anatomy she has amazing intuition about the root cause of an issue. She listens attentively and -at least for me- knew exactly what was required to solve the problem. Based on my experience, I recommend Francie without reservation.”

“Francie is all hands on while also continually checking in to see what improvements were made and what could be changed. She is compassionate and exactly what you would want from one-on-one care. If you are looking to become more in tune with your body and eliminate your pain, Francie Marzec is the therapist you are looking for.”

“Francie Marzec provided complete physical therapy care, being very attentive to my concerns and needs as well as sharing her knowledge in a way that was easy for me to understand. She gave me exercises and stretches to maintain the work we accomplished for full pain relief over my lifetime. I have highly recommended Francie Marzec to several friends and family members and will continue to do so.”

L.R., female/manager and Business Development Specialist 57 y.o.

“Francie set me free! Struggling with neck and back injuries since childhood, doctors have told me surgery was my only option. Francie knew better. Not only did her “magic hands” liberate me from my daily pain, her magic mind provided me easy and effective tools to keep making progress between sessions. She worked with me to develop realistic goals and educated me on how to make small tweaks that yield big results for overall health. Two years later, I’m back to the real me. When you’re really ready to be yourself again, call Francie at The Real You PT!”

J.H., male/ branch manager, 45 y.o.

“I will never forget at the end of my first visit, her giving me a hug. That let me know that she truly cared about my recovery as her patient. She never made me feel like I was just another one of her patients, she made me feel that together we would figure out a solution for my pain. I would highly recommend Francie to anyone looking for a physical therapist. It is evident in her work, that Francie truly loves what she does. I cannot thank her enough for all of the help and relief she has given me. Thank you!”

“Francie is wonderful to work with. She listens but most importantly hears you when discussing your issues. She is helping me work through my issues my pelvic issues related to Interstitial Cystitis. I am having success and relief for the first time in years.”

D.R., female/retired 63 y.o.

“What impresses me the most about Francie is that her treatments are far from a “one size fits all”. She learns your medical history, listens to how you describe your immediate concerns, and determines your needs based on the combination. Everything she does, shell tell you why. She uses both scientific and layman’s terms, which made me confident in her skills but was also very helpful to understand. She suggested several small changes that I could easily make in my day-to-day to prevent the pain from returning. When I arrived, my lower back, shoulders, and left side were all at about a 7-8/10 pain level. When I left, each had decreased to a 2-3/10. It has been over a week since I met with Francie, and I honestly expected the pain to increase again in a few days, as it has after seeking treatment elsewhere in the past. To my surprise, each pain has actually decreased more or completely eliminated since! Francie says, “there should be no pain”, and I am astonished that she made this a reality after one session!”

A.K., female/ pure romance consultant, 29 y.o.

“I had an amazing video visit with Francie. She was very thorough, knowledgeable and detailed in describing exercises for my condition. She asked me many questions to pinpoint exactly how I can help myself heal. She was personable, honest and professional and I loved her sense of humor. I am writing this the day after my visit and I can honestly say I feel a difference already! I will be using her advice and exercises in my daily routine on my road to recovery. I would highly recommend her. She is compassionate and takes her time to make sure your recovery is personalized and not a one size fits all. Thank you Francie and continue doing amazing things for your patients.”

E.R., female/ Manager, 53 y.o.

“I would recommend Francie to anyone and everyone who suffers from physical pain. Her knowledge, experience and approach is a game changer...Francie’s therapy is more of a 360⁰ approach...she has magic hands.”
