Deconstruct Health Physical Therapy & Consulting PC

Fantastic experience: Been working with him for a while now for my pelvic floor muscle which has caused me a lot of troubles, my condition has been improved a lot thanks to his knowledge and treatments. Highly recommended if you have same problem as I do

Fantastic experience: Michael was amazing in helping me understand the mental, and how that impacts the physical injury! Would highly recommend his services - very much takes a holistic approach, giving you a 360-degree view into one's injury.

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about Dr Aquino, he has helped my back pain more than massages and chiropractors ever could. Highly recommended!!

Fantastic experience: I found Dr. Aquino online. I had been experiencing back spasms and chronic nerve pain in my lower extremity. Dr. Aquino used a combination of strength exercises and stretches to address my issues. I no longer have issues with lower back spasms, and have been able lift progressively more weight over time. My nerve issues have vastly improved as well. Dr. Aquino does a very good job of explaining your issues and how to treat them, using diagrams and a phone app that includes short videos of you doing the exercise or stretch, along with him describing how to perform it, which makes it very easy to follow your customized program at home. I was always very comfortable working with Dr. Aquino, as he is trained to treat his patients' physical challenges and the mental challenges that may be associated. After a half dozen weekly visits to address my issues, I have chosen to transition to monthly visits for general wellness, as Dr. Aquino is experienced in formulating exercise plans and tracking overall physical wellness.

Fantastic experience: Michael is an amazing PT. He helped me to be basically pain free from a chronic pain issue I had with my hamstring for 6 years. He creates a plan just for you and modifies it based on your progress. Living with chronic pain is extremely difficult and frustrating. Michael has been someone I have counted on for support in handling it and has even helped me to overcome it when I never thought I would from both a mental and physical aspect. If you have chronic pain issues I would very much recommend him, he is the best physical therapist I have ever had and I have seen several over the course of my chronic pain history.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Aquino is compassionate, experienced, and clearly cares about his patients. After the sudden switch to work from home last year, I started experiencing carpal tunnel/wrist pain that was affecting my ability to work at a computer. Dr. Aquino's informed and kind approach helped me let go of a lot of the fear I was feeling around my injury, and I was pain free within six months of my first visit. I recently returned to Deconstruct Health for help dealing with a separate injury, and I'm relieved to have a physical therapist I can trust.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Aquino is patient and kind. His empathy is displayed with his going over the materials, extending his time and energy for sessions. He is very knowledgeable about chronic pain with firsthand experience. He said I was a difficult case due to my level chronic pain, but had faith that I would get better due to my motivation. I learned many coping skills and acceptance and commitment therapist and now I can do many activities that I thought I would never be able to do. He will guide you along the way, never give up.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Aquino is a miracle worker. After dislocating my shoulder I thought that I would never be able to do the activities that I love to do again like swimming and yoga. He taught me that doing nothing about it and doing too much about it is why people take so long to recover and that more than half of dealing with pain is the social and mental aspects of it, not just the physical aspects. I have gained the confidence to go back to work lifting and every week I see him I see results. He is a master at making adjustments that differ depending on your situation and personalizes your treatment plan so it is not a “one size fits all” plan for every client. Amazing and quick results!

Fantastic experience: I’ve healed my chronic pain with my mind! And you can too! I have suffered from low back pain on and off for several years. Usually, it was something that would go away after some rest, yoga, and time. However, about two years ago my pain become chronic – to the point that I couldn’t sleep through the night for several months. It hurt to stand, sit, transition from standing to sitting, rolling over – basically it hurt all of the time doing any activity. It made my life a nightmare. I couldn’t travel, work, or do much else. I was stressed out, never sleeping and the pain seamed to grow, initially at my lower back, then my entire back and up and down my legs. I tried everything! And I spent so much money on doctor visits, medication, chiropractors, acupuncture, yoga, etc. They would all give me temporary relief, but then the pain would come right back again. My chiropractor thought it was odd that someone my age (under 40) was suffering so much so he suggested I get X-rays and it was determined that I may have suffered a herniated disc some time ago and I had degenerative disc between a couple of my vertebrae. After more time with the chiropractor, he still thought it was odd that I was in so much pain but I couldn’t figure out what the solution could be. Then my gym, Everybody, hosted a free workshop on chronic with Dr. Michael Aquino that I decided to go to. During the event I never felt so seen and I held back tears as I listened to him describe my exact situation and how pain in the brain works and what we can do to ease pain. I immediately felt a little better and for the first time I slept through the night, after listening to one session. I decided to spend some money as a final attempt to control my pain. IT WAS THE BEST MONEY I EVER SPENT and would spend double all over again. Dr. Aquino is amazing! He made me feel safe and not like I was “crazy” for having unexplainable chronic pain. In fact, he explained to me exactly how my pain worked and where it was coming from and came up with a simple plan and exercises to help me eventually “cure” myself. I still have some pain from time to time, and if I exert myself I know that I will pay for it later. However, now I have the tools I need to “reset” the pain in my brain and calm down a flair up. I am most proud of being able to sleep through the night again, my mood is back to my best self, I can travel, and after only a couple of months I was able to start working out again which has only helped make myself stronger. The best money I ever spent. I can’t recommend him enough. My favorite thing is telling people that “I cured my back with my mind!” Thanks Dr. Aquino!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Aquino is a very experienced and knowledgeable Doctor that truly cares about his patients recovery both mentally and physically. I have had 3 failed spine surgeries and was in chronic pain for 9 years. I completed a 3 month recovery program with Dr. Aquino and have successfully reduced my back and shoulder pain by 90%. I would highly recommend Dr. Aquino to any person who is looking to have surgery or to anyone that has complications from a surgery. His expertise in all fields relating to physical and mental pain will help you on your road to recovery.
