“Lealah Fremuth is outstanding. She keeps excellent records of my visits and has helped me in numerous ways, including relieving me of the TMJ that plagued me for a few years, the residual dizziness that stayed with me after a bout of vertigo (which she eliminated), and helped me to understand how my asthma/breathing related problems affected my posture and what I needed to do to restore healthy posture. She is a fantastic Physical Therapist who loves her work. I am beyond grateful to her.”
“Lauren is excellent in her diagnositic skills and applies her analysis with appropriate muscular-skeletal manipulations to relieve tightness, improve blood flow, reduce pain.
She keeps a steady eye on body movements and demonstrates better positioning for balance and posture. All of such actions are explained in the detail I request.
She is definitely a great Kinesiologist.
Very highly recommended.
