Testimonials

"Mona Lenihan, with her dancer’s form and Pilates core wisdom, has rebuilt my body through three hip surgeries and repeated throes of inflammatory bowel disease with its bone and muscle-destroying medications. From my first Pilates class with her, coming out to the comment “you’ve got some color in your cheeks!” I was hooked. My bones fell into place, and my blood circled in health. Now, facing the unkindest cut of abdominal surgery, I tell her, here we go again, this time she will have the challenge of reconstructing my core from zero. If not for Mona, I wouldn’t believe I could do it.

As for Martha and her manual therapy, once she lays a hand on your body, you really wish she would leave it there...

My first month of visits to Martha I was driven by my daughters. I was close to incapacitated from vestibular neuritis. A premier ear clinic and multiple doctors had given me suggested exercises and valium. It did help to a certain degree but I was not willing to live on valium. I still have mild symptoms and an occasional flare of the disease, but Martha can get me back under control in a visit, no drugs. As a side, I also had chronic bronchitis and could look foreword to a but every winter. I have not had one during the 3 years Martha has been treating me. I am living and functioning with a terrible disease thanks to Circle of Health.

"My husband and I have been patients of Martha Kerns P.T. for the past
12 years. During this time Martha has treated us for several
conditions, including: shoulder surgery rehab, lower back pain, frozen
shoulder, hand and wrist pain, knee surgery rehab as well as helping
us stay healthy with prevention treatment, exercises and dietary
counseling. The treatments we have received from Martha at Circle of
Health have been remarkably effective, non-invasive with amazing
results that are long lasting. We highly recommend Circle of Health

"I was in unbearable pain from three un-successful shoulder surgeries. I tried everything from Physical Therapy, Chiropractor, acupuncture and massage to try to relieve some of the pain and inflammation which would help but only for a day or two."

"When I found out about Circle of Health I was skeptical because nothing seemed to be working. After my first visit, I went home that night and for the first time in 4 years I slept through the night as well as woke up pain free. My overall health has also continued to improve as well & I have been able to discontinue some monthly prescription drugs I was on."

"I first came to Circle of Health eight years ago with what was thought as a career ending injury to a ligament in my leg. I had seen every sports specialist from coast to coast and nearly all recommended a surgery that would put an end to my dance career." "Under Martha Spalding’s guidance and support, not only did I avoid surgery altogether, my leg became even stronger and never suffered any residual side effects."

"I am truly indebted to this wonderful physical therapist. If it was not for her, I would not have been able to grace the stage once again."

"After seeing two neurosurgeons, a chiropractor, an arthritis specialist and taking daily pain relievers with no relief, I came to Circle of Health." "With weekly IMT treatments, I am able to move around and have returned to some of my activities; walking, swimming and biking."

"Thank you Martha and Mona!"
