"I can't speak highly enough of working with Dr. Chaudhary. I was dealing with POTS, hypermobility issues, pelvic floor issues, neck instability, rib pain, low back pain, & SI joint issues. Many physical therapists are scared to work with POTS patients but add on top of that my pregnancy... I felt rejected by the medical community but not with Dr. Chaudhary.After only 8 sessions, she managed to re-engage my pelvic floor, anterior core, diaphragmatic breathing, back muscles, & lateral systems. She made my pregnancy better. I was scared I'd have to suffer through pain until the end.I've recommended her to all my clients. My movement based clients experience things like MS, EDS, seizures, neurological conditions, brain tumors, fibromyalgia, SI joint & back issues, & a whole host of other issues. I don't take my medical recommendations lightly with my clients.Dr. Chaudhary is a very intelligent practitioner who looks at the mind-body as a whole. I'm proud to have her in my circle of medical support (and, I picky on who I let in my circle)."
"I found out about Quintessence 2 years ago when I was pregnant. I decided to set up an appointment to get an assessment of my pelvic floor health in preparation for the delivery. From the get go, I found Swapnali to be very meticulous and diligent in her efforts. She reached out to me before my first visit to give an overview of what she will do in the assessment.I started my therapy in full force after my delivery. I was diagnosed with diastasis recti, and contrary to popular belief, Swapnali was so assured that with proper physical therapy this can be fixed. And it did happen for me!During the course of the treatment, I found Swapnali to be a very patient and empathetic listener. She's very good at her job, it was almost magical to me, but of course scientific to her, when she would diagnose some pain to be due to a very specific muscle not doing its work. There were hundreds of instances where she would very quickly figure out the root cause of some muscle not engaging the way it should leading it to pain in a different location.Looking back I feel my sessions with Swapnali in my postpartum period did a lot of good for me, both physically as well as mentally. While I would highly recommend her to all new mothers for their pelvic floor health, Swapnali diagnosed and helped me with my years old neck and shoulder pain as well.Wish you a lot of success in your career Swapnali!"
"Was experiencing problems with my lower back. The pain would keep me from my normal active lifestyle. After trying different things that would help a little, I figured surgery would be my only option. I found out about Quintessence through an NKT forum and wanted to give it a try. I set up an appointment with Swapnali Chaudhary. She was very thoughtful in her process and is actively helping me get back to normal with release and activation exercises. She gives me simple but extremely effective instructions to follow at home through a user friendly app and I believe it's really helping. So glad I gave this a try."
"I'm very appreciative to be able to work with Swapnali on addressing the various physical issues I've had for years. I have tried acupuncture, chiro, and massage in the past, but none of them made a long lasting impact. I was able to feel the change in how I move after seeing only three times of Swapnali, which is amazing!"
"Why all the reviews are 5 Stars?I had no idea before I went there 2 months ago with Neck pain but now that I am pain-free, I can attest to all the well-deserving 5 stars. Dr. Swapnali has a holistic approach to relieving pain using Neuro-Kinetic physiotherapy technique. Never heard of that before going to her.I suffered neck pain for 2 months before going to her and tried heat, icepacks, Advil, Tylenol, routine neck exercises etc. with no relief. I truly/painfully understood why it's called "pain in the neck" ????. But it was stunning the way Dr. Swapnali figured out which muscles and neck segments are causing the pain and worked her magic to bring relief. Home exercises she prescribed are not the routine stuff you see on Youtube, but are very specific and helped in getting the relief faster. She checked other mobility patterns which are causing knee and low back pain and relieved that also. She is simply amazing ????.Her bedside manner is commendable and definitely one of her great assets.Thank you !!!"
"Quintessence PT is an amazing place to go for holistic body analysis, treatment plans and healing. I suffered an injury from competitive rowing and was in pain for several weeks prior to seeing Swapnali. Within 2 weeks of frequent Quintessence PT treatment and home exercises, my intense pain was reduced and mobility had returned. I continued PT for several more weeks to fully recover and Swapnali maintained her holistic approach the entire time - she attended to my neck, shoulder, ribs and feet to aid the recovery of a hip injury. I highly recommend Swapnali's approach and amazing application of her PT skills."
"I refer this center for anyone who wants to have to an holistic approach with hands on therapy. Recently I took my 78yr old mother-in-law for therapy for her feet pain and burning and difficulty walking in the morning from bed. Ms. Swapnali worked with her with patiently by using lot of hand therapy techniques and monitored her progress. We are happy that she is able to walk with no pain after a few sessions. My mother -in-law improved her balance and confidence and able to walk freely after few therapy sessions with Ms. Swapnali Chaudhary.Ms. Swapnali suggested a few strengthing exercises for back and leg muscles, which helped my mother-in-law for over all pain relief.Ms. Swapnali asks insightful questions and a very good listener.I would highly recommend Qunitessence Physical Therapy to anyone in need of physical therapy."
"We found Quintessence Physical therapy on the internet search and reading Swapnali's excellent reviews we booked a session immediately as I was in lot of pain and this pain is caused while playing cricket my lower back was hurt and I was unable to walk/stand/sit properly for more than 3 minutes, I never addressed Physical therapy before this but my team mates suggested to find one. I luckily found this and the session was remarkable after one session I was able to find the difference and the knowledge and treatment Swapnali provides is best which she cares very small details of the issue and finds the root cause of the issue and provides treatment and care accordingly. She iseasy to reachout through phone/text if we had any doubts and also the exercise and videos for those she provide are very helpful to continue exercises at home. I was able to recover within two sessions and she found the root cause of the issue and treated accordingly. I was happy to get the results and happy I found this place. Definitely recommend this place."
"I can not speak highly enough of my experience at Quintessence. I started attending PT sessions because of rotator cuff issues (from swimming and weights) and because of hip pain (long distance running). Over the course of four months, Swapnali not only addressed those local issues, but also started to deal with the root causes (core and rotational strength). Swapnali is extremely diligent in tracking week to week results, allowing fast course corrections if things are not improving. She demonstrates an uncommon level of scientific knowledge as well as care and concern for her patients, and she really views PT as a two way interaction. My wife recommended Swapnali to me, and I would refer anyone who needs PT to this unique and wonderful practitioner!"
"Dr. Chaudhary has helped me regain my joy and smile!!! I’m so very, very grateful! Her physical intake and therapy treatment was very thorough and effective. She addressed the various physical issues from which I was suffering, e.g., painful walking, sitting and standing; multiple falls, fractures, limited movement, loss of sleep, and poor quality of life because of physical trauma, chronic pain, poor balance, and loss of strength. After seeing multiple other physical therapists and my suffering with chronic pain, limited movement, and balance issues due to a catastrophic car accident followed by multiple falls and fractures, I am now pain-free and have regained freedom of movement and greatly improved balance. Thanks to Dr. Chaudhary, I can now get back to doing many things that I had given up. She also showed me how to continue to maintain pain-free freedom of movement and to continue to strengthen my body, so I can continue my improved quality of life. I’m so very glad that I was referred to Dr. Chaudhary by my primary doctor. The results of her physical therapy have changed my life for the better."
"Dr. Swapnali is very friendly. she was able to diagnose the cause of upper back pain and able to treat it with correct exercises. I feel relieve on my pain after her 3 sessions only. she is very nice PT. She is even checking my overall body muscle strength and helping me to improve that too. I would highly recommend her."
"I highly recommend Quintessence physical therapy. I saw Swapnali Choudhary for postpartum physical therapy after c-section. She's amazing! Now I can walk without pain and can activate my pelvic floor!! She gives her patients lots of caring attention and provides very clear directions for exercises to be done at home. Her approach to physical therapy is very innovative. She considers the interactions between muscles across the whole body rather than just the area of complaint. Although I went in for pelvic floor, she addressed back pain, neck pain, core weakness, breathing issues, and issues with my calves!!!! So glad I found her!!"
"I had been suffering from severe upper back pain. This prevented me to carry my newborn child for extended periods of time. Pain meds only provided temporary relief. Swapnali Chaudhary at Quintessence Physical Therapy had been amazing in her detailed analysis of the problem. Her dedication to finding long term solutions is what makes this unique. The detailed exercises has helped me engage and strengthen the right muscle groups doing the day to day activities and prevented me from overusing my upper back / shoulder muscles. I came to understand that an accident which happened 10 years ago was worsening the pain as well. Her techniques address the root of the pain and I am on my path to recovery.I truly appreciate her help with my problem and would highly recommend her practice."
"I wholeheartedly recommend Quintessence Physical Therapy. I had chronic hip pain for three to four years which prevented me from sleeping well and I my hip hurt while sitting. I could not sit comfortably for long periods of time. The first therapist I went to provided me with a good deal of relief at first, but after six weeks or so there was no further improvement, even after four to five months of therapy. So I quit. I then found a highly recommended therapist whose approach also gave me a little more relief at first, but again there was no further improvement even after around four months of therapy. By contrast, after only two weeks of therapy with Ms. Chaudhary, my symptoms have nearly disappeared. I sleep better and I wake up in the morning feeling refreshed. Moreover, the hip discomfort and pain I feel while sitting are nearly gone. The difference is in her approach. She is whole-listic, meaning that she examines the muscles and fascia throughout the body to identify which ones need attention. By contrast, the previous therapists focused only in the hip area and, in doing so, did not pick up on conditions in other parts of my body that were contributing to the pain. And what a difference that has made! Not only has my hip pain nearly disappeared after only two weeks of therapy, I’ve noticed other improvements too. My gait is more fluid, both hips feel stronger and my lower back is more relaxed. In short, I’m very glad to be in Ms. Chaudhary’s care."
"I highly recommend Quintessence physical therapy. I saw Swapnali Choudhary for postpartum physical therapy after c-section. She's amazing!

"I love the whole body approach to treatment that really gets to the root of the problem! With Swapnali, it's not just about fixing the problematic spot - it's about addressing overall alignment and movement patterns to prevent recurrence. I got significant relief within just a few days of starting PT here."
"My daughter found Quintessence Physical Therapy on the internet search and after reading Swapnali’s excellent reviews booked a consult for me. I’ve had pelvic floor issues for the past year but, never physically addressed them until my daughter took it upon herself to research it while I was visiting her over Thanksgiving and Christmas vacation last month.From the initial consultation Swapnali put me immediately at ease with her soft spoken, calm voice asking about my concerns, symptoms, lifestyle and goals. I followed up with 3 appointments before returning to New York.She made a plan on my first appointment, did not rush thru my visits, evaluated my discomfortissues and taught me exercises to specifically target, support and strengthen my pelvic floor area and after each visit I used an app to download my exercises to practice at home.During my appointments she taught me deep breathing exercises to help relax my body in order to have more effective results, massaged the weakness n tightness in my pelvic floor area.I highly recommend Swapnali to anyone who has pelvic floor issues, she is a highly skilled,knowledgeable and extremely patient physical therapist, a gentle, kind, reassuring and gifted healer who deeply cares about her patients and helping them attain positive results, as I have done."
"Quintessence Physical Therapy is a lifesaver! Before I met with Swapnali at Quintessence Physical Therapy I had given up hope of finding relief from my IT pain. I had been to orthopedists, physical therapists, and had cortisone shots, but nothing helped. I am normally very active and my inability to do my usual workouts due to IT band pain was very frustrating. I was also having pelvic pain that was often triggered by stress. Swapnali looked at my issues holistically and was able to figure out what muscle weaknesses and imbalances were causing my pain. Within a couple of visits I was feeling so much better! I am now easing back into all my favorite activities and I’m pain-free. Thank goodness for Swapnali! I cannot recommend her highly enough.As an aside, I heard about her from a friend who had experienced chronic bladder and pelvic pain for over 30 years. Thanks to Swapnali’s help, she’s also pain-free for the first time in decades!"
"My mother came in to Dr. Swapnali for physical therapy and she has been excellent in her care. She initially came in for back and neck pain. Dr. Swapnali was able to get her in within the week she called to schedule. She has had quite a few sessions with her now and she is very pleased with the results. Dr. Swapnali gave her numerous exercises to do at home to improve her pain as well which she has been doing everyday. Couldn’t recommend more!!!"
"Ms Swapnali has taken excellent care of my dad with PSP. She has been extremely patient, very knowledgeable and pleasant. Would strongly recommend her. Me and my family are very grateful that we found her."
"So glad to have found Quintessence and the highly skilled Swapnali (owner/lead PT). I’ve been having severe lower back pain since the birth of my first child 5 years ago and was diagnosed with diastasis recti after having my second child a year ago. My lower back pain symptoms and core strength have immensely improved since I’ve started seeing Swapnali. She has such a high level of experience in dealing with these types of issues. She is very professional and knowledgeable and I highly recommend her. I’m a happy and grateful customer."
"I started having neck and rhomboid pain issues on and off throughout the year and neglected it. Decided to get it fixed once and for all so that I could resume my gym workouts and QPT was recommended by my PCP and it did not disappoint. Swapnali is extremely knowledgeable and detected many of the muscle issues through various exercises. The accompanying Strivehub app provides details on at home exercises and has improved my overall core, pecks , lats, etc. You will notice visible improvements and get confidence in your movements after few sessions.Highly recommend Quintessence Physical Therapy to friends , family and anyone in need of PT"
"She is very dedicated and concerned theripist. Initial visit i was skeptical as earlier theropies increased my symptoms. But she listened to all my concerns and worked on individual muscles on different areas. Her techniques to listen to the muscles was amazing. She understands which one to be released and strengthened. I highly recommend this therapist."
"Fantastic practice that provides depth of care that is not common place. I had a baby a year ago and was suffering from lower back and pelvic floor issues. After the first treatment, I was immediately feeling better. I think she is a miracle worker. I have not felt this good in a long time. This place is 1on1 and not your traditional PT shop that has 10 techs working on people In a large room. Your not a number here. She takes the time to evaluate you at each session and make prescriptive plan to treat you. I wish I would have found her sooner. Highly recommended!!!"
"I couldn't be happier with the results of my PT! After only 4 visits with Swapnali Chaudhary, the quality of my life has vastly improved. My physical movements are more fluid, I no longer wake up stiff as a board.Her approach to my issues has been right on point, however her approach is gentle and not threatening.I never feel rushed. She makes sure I understand what she is doing and why. I recommend her wholeheartedly."
"I met with Dr Chaudary as I had severe low back/hip and upper back pain at about 5 months post partum.It affected my mobility and I could barely walk. Upon arrival she did a comprehensive full body evaluation. ( I have only received localized treatments from previous therapists.)I was surprised to find out the muscle weakness in other areas were the reasons for my pain. She taught me exercises to breathe better which in turn helped relax my body. With her guidance, I was able to to see marked improvement in my pelvic floor pain and other areas. Dr Chaudary is extremely thorough, patient and is invested in your health. I highly recommend her services to anyone (especially women in their prenatal or post partum phase)."
"I found Quintessence Physical Therapy 2 months ago from Google. The booking process was quick and I got to see Swapnali the week after the call. Swapnali is the best PT I ever met. She helped me with all my pain and all the exercises she gave me to do at home made a huge difference. I would recommend Swapnali to all the mothers have postpartum muscle issues. I wish I found her sooner. I feel much better after seeing her for 2 months"
"Dr Swapnali is very compassionate and thorough. She listens to my concerns and always knows how to solve the issue. Her therapy techniques are simple yet extremely effective. I’m confident that she will help me heal and be able to rid me of pain by releasing and strengthening my muscles. I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs therapy!"
"Dr. Swapnali is very knowledgeable. She listened to my concerns and had a plan written down to work on them. Knows what she is doing and explains why she is suggesting a particular exercise and how it would help me.I’m very happy with the treatment as it’s helping me tremendously."
"I had been struggling with neck, shoulder, back and knee pain for quite a while now and had been to several physical therapists, chiropractors etc. And while all of them helped to some extent, the one that has made the most difference is Swapnili @ Quintessence. My doctor when prescribing physical therapy described her as amazing - I was skeptical. But, having gone to her for a few sessions, I can see why she is different and indeed amazing. She gives you one on one attention for the whole one hour you are there. She doesn’t just confine herself to your areas of pain but approaches your problems from a whole body perspective. She analyses functional movement patterns, and works on addressing weaknesses, tightness, wrong patterns etc. It would be easy for her to apply textbook solutions but she is truly interested in figuring out how your body works and what in particular is causing you pain. I have experienced significant pain relief and I hope that by following the customized plan of exercises she has set out for me, I will grow stronger - thus requiring less medical intervention in future."
"Working with Quintessence Physical Therapy was been nothing but positive. My therapist, Swapnali Chaudhary, has used just the right movements to get rid of the pain I had. It was a ligament strain on my right side. I feel I am getting just the treatments I need."
"What an awesome results. I was not expecting such a great service and outcome. I had started having knees pains several years back. It had limited me to the point where I could barely walk to my mailbox or barely stand for 5 minutes. I thought it was just my age and I would have to have surgery to get any better. But family friend suggest to check with physical therapist so I talked to Swapnali at quintessence about about my ankle pains. She throughly explained what was going on and suggested some exercise to start. I felt little better. She also proposed a plan of physical therapy for long term knee pain relief. Which I thought sounded right for me soI decided to try it instead of surgery. Scheduling appt was very easy. They are very flexible in appointment time. We were able to get appointment after 5pm on weekdays and also on Saturday. Sessions were very helpful. They generally last from 45 mins to an hour. After sessions, I received a virtual training exercise videos to follow. Which helped reinforce the exercise that therapists showed during the sessions. The best part is that I am able to go on morning walk pain free. This journey has been great. Hope this help others as well."
"Dr. Chaudhary is amazing! I was referred by my doctor to several Physical Therapy doctors and all of the 6 referrals only had appointments for 3 months out. I did some research and found Quintessence Physical Therapy. Dr. Chaudhary return my call the same day and I had an appointment that same week. Dr. Chaudhary really cares about what is happening with your body and addresses the painful areas with such a delicate manner. She creates great easy workouts to do at home that helps in the healing process. She is a great listener and communicator, therefore she takes her time to make sure your healing process is adequate and balance for your body. She is more than WONDERFUL!!!"
"I was suffering from back, hands and shoulder pain for almost three years, I have neglected and the pains got worse. Initially I visited other Physical Therapists but nothing worked for me. I got reference from one of my friends about Dr. Swapnali and glad I got the appointment immediately. I felt huge difference like second birth after my first visit. I was neglecting certain symptoms to the point where I could get back pain just by sitting at a spot for more than an hour. She works with the muscle groups, explains which ones need to be worked on and gives out an individualized plan of exercises. She has magic in her hands. I highly recommend Dr Swapnali and Quintessence Physical Therapy."
"Communication is beyond 5 star. I ask lots of questions and Dr. Chaudhary addresses them all quickly and accurately - she is also very personable and I trust her work. Very skilled at what she does."
"I have had 6 different Physical therapists but Dr, Chaudhary is by far the best. Her holistic approach, 1 on 1 appointments and genuine care about the patient makes it really easy to achieve the goal rapidly. Unlike some clinics, her goal is not to get me to return to see her indefinitely. She truly strives to fix the underlying problems so I can continue doing the activities that I love. I would highly recommend."
"I started going to Quintessence Physical Therapy for treatment of my Lower back pain by Physical Therapist Ms. Swapnali Chaudhary. Initially my pain was very severe it ran down from my lower back to the ankle. For couple of treatments the pain has decreased tremendously. I am amazed. Ms. Swapnali is a very dedicated and knowledgeable Therapist. She works with her amazing fingers the area where the pain is from and individualizes special exercises to suit the need for recovery . I am feeling very much better and most satisfied with my progress. I would certainly recommend Quintessence Physical Therapy to members of my family and friends."
"I am so happy and lucky to found this place . Her therapy works effectively. She made me feel so much better and I can walk well again. She deeply cares about her patients and spends more time with me . Her therapy likes miracle i feel better and better every time! Thank you so much for your help!"
"I had constant numbing on my left leg for almost 5 years, though pain and weakness in my leg is no bad but having that weakness constantly was bothering me. I have tried famous Texas chain physical therapy, however I felt like they never got to the root of the problem . I wanted to try a better alternative than cookie cutting based therapy chain, I came across Quintessence PT through friend of mine and told me about her 1 on 1 sessions. I went ahead and booked appointment for 1 on 1 PT, I had a completely positive experience throughout the sessions . My therapist Swapnali had full attention to understand my problem (unlike previous one was multiplexing with other patients) , she got to the root of the problem in 2 sessions and she gave self exercising therapy options . To my surprise I started observing improvement from 2nd session onwards. I highly recommend them for any 1 on 1 physical therapy."
"The best physiotherapist !! She did thorough diagnosis and took considerable time to understand the issue and developed the care plan that focussed on relieving the pain and regaining the strength.She is very knowledgeable and professional . I was suffering from severe neck and wrist pain.She developed care plan that included regular exercise and follow ups .Her sessions have been very helpful and focussed to provide quality treatments.The results have been beyond my expectations. I would highly recommend her for physiotherapy"
"I had recently gotten sick and experienced muscle weakness, but I thought it had resolved mostly after a couple months. I first noticed my back hurting after working out with weights one day. I couldn't turn my back to the left without lots of pain, and I noticed after a few weeks non-weight bearing, careful working out would sometimes only make it worse.I couldn't lift weights like I used to, which made me nervous to do any workouts which subsequently effected my sleep and mental health.Dr. Swapnali Chaudhary worked closely with me and helped educate me on how the muscles worked together, some muscle weakness causes imbalances with other muscles trying to compensate for the weakness by overworking, and how we need to incorporate myofascial release and targeted workouts to activate and strengthen these muscles again.Each session she massages muscle groups that are overworking and assesses strength and improvements of weaker muscles, and then assigns needs-based, individualized workouts.She's also helping me with achilles tendonitis, and I really like her mindful, conservative approach to ensuring it heals fully.I have experienced noticeable improvement since I've seen Dr. Chaudhary.I really appreciate her ability to listen, care, and understand things from a holistic perspective.I also love how she is available via texting if you have any questions and provides thoughtful and helpful responses in a timely manner. It's definitely exceptional customer care and attention which is so great for the healing process.It's great to know a competent physical therapist in Austin, I highly recommend Dr. Chaudhary!"
"Dr Swapnali Chaudhari is so passionate about her profession and so dedicated to her patients. I am so glad I found her. She was super knowledgeable, professional and explained everything clearly.She is a great advocate and educator for women’s health. I am excited to be on the path to healing! I saw huge improvements in my health and outlook in just a few short weeks. Dr Swapnali is a wizard.. she has magic in her hands! She has a thoughtful plan ready, and does an incredible job making me feel confident in my ability to heal my body with the work I put in. She is kind, empathetic, and has an incredible ability to make her clients feel at ease in a situation that, at least for me, can often be anxiety-triggering. I would recommend her to anyone interested in having the healthiest pelvic floor possible!"
"I have visited Ms. Chaudhary to treat my injured ankle and arthritic knee for past two months. She has come across as a true professional who is knowledgeable about treatment. She really took time and explained me how to do my exercise properly. Through her treatment it made a major difference in my daily activities that I could not do without feeling pain.Based on my experience, I would recommend her to anyone who need physical therapy."
"I highly recommend Swapnali Chaudhary at Quintessense Physical Therapy At the suggestion of my primary care doctor, I started seeing Swapnali Chaudhary in June. She has been treating me for an overused shoulder muscle and stiff neck. The condition was extremely painful. I was concerned about driving safely because of the poor range of motion in my neck. She took considerable time getting to know me and learn about my current issue. We discussed my activity level, my concerns about regaining mobility and my past history with physical therapy. Our conversation was positive and relaxed. She answered all my questions carefully and thoroughly. She quickly established a care plan and focused on relieving my pain. In subsequent visits, she has focused on providing me with an exercise plan to strengthen muscles that have not been as active in my upper body as they should be. She has always explained the purpose of the exercise, the muscles I am working and the correct way to do the exercise for the greatest affect. (I love that she frequently reminds me, “Don’t shrug and keep your elbow straight!”) The results have been exceptional. I have come away feeling that my upper body health is improving more and more each day. Please note that I am an 80 year old woman with many miles behind me but more that you may believe in front of me thanks to Swapnali Chaudhary."
"I came for PT about 2 weeks ago for my Vertigo and some associated issues that produced some dizziness. Ms. Swapnali very professionally and understandably recommended a treatment regime that started helping me in a significant way. I am very satisfied with the progress I made and I continue with the therapy sessions. I highly recommend Quintessence PT for those who need Physical Therapy! Upali Peter Weerasooriya, Ph.D"
"I am glad my doctor recommended Dr. Swapnali Chowdary Quintessence physiotherapy. I was suffered from leg pain suddenly few months back.. I went to orthopaedic doctor, they did x - rays and gave some medication but the wasn’t any improvement, after that I came to Dr.Swapnali Chowdary.. she resolved my problem with in 5,6 sessions..she is very much caring about her patients. I highly recommend quintessence PT...Thank you so much doctor for your treatment!!"
"I’ve been seeing Dr. Swapnali for a few months now. I initially came for pelvic floor therapy and after she examined me, she noticed I have a muscle imbalance on my left side, which could be causing some of my pain. Over the past few months, I’ve seen a decrease in my back pain and my pelvic floor muscles have relaxed a ton. The deep breathing exercises have been very helpful. The prescribed exercises and manual therapy has also been helping. I’ve been extremely impressed with how knowledgeable she is, how she listens and doesn’t rush and how dedicated she is to trying to help me. She is the best therapist I’ve had by far."
"The first time i started suffering pain was in late December 2020.I didnt know why..The pain would come and go and it was very painful...I had vein procedure to remove blood clots but the pain still continued.I couldnt walk and it was very painful.I missed so much work that at one point i was only working 2days a week..I finally told my pcp to refer me to a leg specialist. And she refered me to a physical therapist..At first i was skeptical about it.My pain ratio was at a 9 .Im now at at 2 ratio .I had bad tendonitis and a bruise calf muscle.Im just amazed at the progress Ive made .I love the fact that i do therapy one on one with her and she answers all my questions.I should of gone with her in december but i wait 3 months to get relief .."
"I had received a vaccine shot and started with a general soreness in my arm. I assumed this was expected and ignored it. But when it developed into severe pain around my shoulder, upper arm and forearm, I knew this was something more severe. I was diagnosed with a strained trapezius muscle that and visited Dr. Swapnali for physical therapy. I was feeling better within a couple of sessions. Dr.Swapnali is very knowledgeable and strives to explains the muscle groups impacted and how the exercises help. Regular email/text reminders and the videos of the exercises are provided and it all helps to keep me on track towards a full recovery."
"I have been a chronic sufferer of neck osteoarthritis that led to debilitating migraines most weeks. Due to COVID I was avoiding doctor visits and the only solution that the doctors offered was migraine medication. I did not want short term relief so decided to reach out to Swapnali as I heard good reviews from a friend who had taken care at Quintessence. Right from the first session, Swapnali asked me all the right questions to figure out the muscle groups that needed attention. She offered solutions/ exercises to strengthen the core and used an app to immediately upload the exercises so I could practice them at home. She combines PT exercises with myofascial release for muscle groups that really helped in my case. My migraines disappeared after just 2 sessions and I am still working towards improving my core strength. I had reached out to Swapnali for just my neck issues and migraines, but she also helped with other sore spots and muscle groups of shoulder and arm to make sure that these body parts work in alignment. Swapnali definitely offers personalized plans and follows up diligently. I would highly recommend Quintessence PT to everyone."
"Thank you for the treatment. "I am glad I chose to go here and start my treatments with Dr Swapnali Choudhary at Quintessence Physical Therapy.I got a severe back pain. She made me feel so much better and I can walk well again. she listened to my concerns in a very caring way to provide quality treatment. I highly recommend Dr Swapnali and Quintessence Physical Therapy."
"I first came to Dr. Swapnali not really knowing what to expect or even the science behind Pelvic Floor Therapy. But wanting a more holistic approach to my problem, I decided to give it a try. Dr. Swapnali was very patient as I asked questions and she asked very insightful questions in order to get down to the root of my issue. She is an excellent teacher of how the body works and why muscles weren’t working as they should. After 4-5 sessions, I see an improvement in control and the way my muscles are working together. The exercises she gives are very beneficial and customized to my own muscle weaknesses. I’ve been amazed at how quickly the therapy works and highly recommend to ANY WOMAN and really at any age. I also have the skills and knowledge to explain how beneficial pelvic floor therapy is to friends and family. She is also a very compassionate and empathetic doctor with wonderful bedside manner for such a sensitive issue. If you are questioning or thinking about it, just go to the consultation and within an hour, you will feel like you are in knowledgeable hands!"
"I am glad I chose to go here and start my treatments with Dr Swapnali Choudhary at Quintessence Physical Therapy. Right after the initial consultation I realized that this could work for my chronic pain. I was neglecting certain symptoms to the point where I could get back pain just by sitting at a spot for more than an hour. After the first treatment with Dr Swapnali, I felt a huge difference and felt much balanced with my right and left side. She works with the muscle groups, explains which ones need to be worked on and gives out an individualized plan of exercises. I have tried out chiropractor before but I found this treatment working much quicker and beneficial. I highly recommend Dr Swapnali and Quintessence Physical Therapy."
"I have been suffering from lower back pain for almost a decade now and have tried many chiropractors and other therapeutics and I have to say my experience with Dr. Swapnali has been the best so far. She is very knowledgeable, has awesome bedside manner and makes one feel very comfortable. I have been feeling much better after getting physical therapy sessions with her and more aware of how I need to engage my core muscles while exercising in order to avoid injuries. The best part is that her sessions didn’t feel rushed like others and she listened to my concerns in a very caring way to provide quality treatment. I would highly recommend getting physical therapy Dr. Swapnali if you have been suffering from chronic pain."
"I am so happy to have found Dr. Swapnali. Her therapy works effectively . She made me feel so much better and I can walk well again. She deeply cares about her patients and spends more time with me then other Physical therapists. I highly recommend Dr.Swapnali for your physical therapy needs!"
"Super satisfied by the treatment and care I received at Quintessence Physical Therapy, I had a muscle strain and I had couple of sessions with a Chiropractor and have visited an orthopedic as well before visiting Swapnali Chaudhry, her examination and diagnosis was perfect she knew exactly which muscles need treatment and in just two sessions I felt tremendous improvement, increased mobility and relived. So if you need a Physical Therapy do contact Quintessence Physical Therapy."
"One fine day, all of sudden something happened and I couldn’t take a step, couldn’t walk. I consulted Orthopedic, done X-rays and everything was showing normal. I was seeing other PT but had very little improvement. Later I was diagnosed of Patellar tracking disorder, in which knee cap goes off the alignment and I can’t walk.I consulted Quintessence for physiotherapy and with the suggested exercises by Dr. Swapnali Chaudhari I improved a lot. Within my first week itself I was 80% better. Next week I was 95% better and very soon I am 100% back to my normal self!I highly recommend Quintessence for their services. They are very well experienced and expert at the services they offer.Dr. Swapnali is highly skilled and expert physiotherapist I have met!"
"Swapnali has been excellent! I couldn’t stand, sit, sleep (and a lot more!) without feeling pain throughout my back and hips. Swapnali’s application of NKT has been incredibly helpful, insightful, and effective. I love her dedication to patient care, esp her writing extremely detailed notes of how exercises are properly done. She’s extremely encouraging and thoughtful when sharing feedback of progress and improvements. I also enjoy our talks on life as she applies treatment—always pleasant conversations!"
"I've had pelvic floor pain for as long as 2 years and just thought there was nothing I could do about it. I found Quintessence Physical Therapy just by searching around me and am so glad I did. Swapnali really helped me understand the different factors that might be contributing to my pain and was patient in helping me work on strengthening different parts of my body. I never felt rushed in any appointments, and I always felt comfortable in her care. She was very kind and professional in all our sessions. I feel more equipped now to release tense areas, and I feel like I even learned a thing or two about the rest of my body. I would definitely recommend Swapnali for any pelvic floor related issues."
"I saw Dr. Swapnali after I suffered a shoulder injury from playing volleyball/tennis. She was super knowledgeable about the body and explained how everything connects. After every session, I left feeling better. Not only that, but she was extremely flexible when I would need to change my appointments due to unforeseen circumstances. I have been able to return to the sports I love after months of recovery.Would recommend Dr. Swapnali to anyone needing an experienced, affordable, and kind PT."
"I had been experiencing back and neck issues in and off for years…I had been going to the chiropractor, yoga, and eating right, but nothing seemed to permanently fix my issues. It finally reached a peak when my neck was strained so badly I couldn’t turn my head to the right without feeling like I was going to pass out! I went to my doctor and was recommended to Quintessence. I started going about 2 months ago and I have never felt better! My neck is better and all my back issues have been resolved! Wish I would have come in sooner!!!"
"I had surgery done on my elbow and had been going to Swapnali Chaudhary of Quintessence PT for my physiotherapy. Swapnali has been providing me 1-1 sessions and extremely caring and accommodating. The session were very helpful. She is always willing to work to ensure effective therapy session."
"I have had a great experience working with Swapnali. She is patient and encouraging. Her technique and the exercises she recommends have made a huge difference in my mobility. I'm back to my prior activity level and feeling great. I would work with Swapnali again!"
"I wholeheartedly recommend Quintessence Physical Therapy. I had chronic hip pain for three to four years which prevented me from sleeping well and I my hip hurt while sitting. I could not sit comfortably for long periods of time. The first therapist I went to provided me with a good deal of relief at first, but after six weeks or so there was no further improvement, even after four to five months of therapy. So I quit. I then found a highly recommended therapist whose approach also gave me a little more relief at first, but again there was no further improvement even after around four months of therapy. By contrast, after only two weeks of therapy with Ms. Chaudhary, my symptoms have nearly disappeared. I sleep better and I wake up in the morning feeling refreshed. Moreover, the hip discomfort and pain I feel while sitting are nearly gone. The difference is in her approach. She is whole-listic, meaning that she examines the muscles and fascia throughout the body to identify which ones need attention. By contrast, the previous therapists focused only in the hip area and, in doing so, did not pick up on conditions in other parts of my body that were contributing to the pain. And what a difference that has made! Not only has my hip pain nearly disappeared after only two weeks of therapy, I’ve noticed other improvements too. My gait is more fluid, both hips feel stronger and my lower back is more relaxed. In short, I’m very glad to be in Ms. Chaudhary’s care."
"Quintessence physical therapy has great therapists. I have been treated by Swapnali. She has been very patient and attentive to my needs. She has great amount of knowledge about body and muscles and has always explained in detail what was the cause of my issue.She never rushes through the visit, always give time and attention. She follows hand on approach which I love the most.Definitely recommend it!"
"Why is Quintessence Physical Therapy different than big chain physical therapy places? Well, Swapnali Chaudhary is not afraid to treat the whole person. I had gone to several physical therapy places that were approved by my insurance, but these places refused to address adjacent areas outside of what was written on the prescription. They also put me on exercise machines for like 90% of the session. Swapnali is different. She is extremely knowledgeable and knows that pain in one area might be related to an issue in another area. She doesn't just give you a list of exercises and hopes things will get better. She thoroughly explains every exercise, what muscles are being targeted with each movement, and (most importantly) when to stop targeting those muscles. She also does manual therapy, like myofascial release. If you feel like nothing is working for you, please give Quintessence Physical Therapy a call. You won't regret it!"
"I am really glad I found Swapnali. I had severe headaches and was not getting any better with medicine. But Swapnali could find the problem and started therapy for my headaches and other issues. I am off the pain medication now. Feeling much better and lot of energy."
"I worked with PT Swapnali Chaudhary from Quintessence Physical Therapy, for several weeks in regards to my knee pain, which I had for several months. Swapnali was extremely knowledgeable, patient, diligent and helpful throughout my entire rehab process. She was always prepared and committed to each session, ensuring I was progressing according to schedule, was available over the phone and did multiple follow ups. I also appreciated her quick-wittedness and humor during some of the tougher sessions.Due to Swapnali's help, I was able to finish my therapy in very short time and my pain levels went down from 8 to almost zero, I'm now able to walk, run and function without any limitation.I highly recommend Swapnali from Quintessence Physical Therapy!"
Quintessence Physical Therapy: Reviews
Fantastic experience: A few months ago, I experienced intense lower back pain, initially attributing it to a spasm. Despite following my primary doctor's prescription of painkillers and muscle relaxants, the discomfort persisted. Acting on my doctor's recommendation, I sought the expertise of Dr. Swapnali Chawdhari at Quintessence PT, who presented a holistic approach to addressing the underlying causes. From our initial session, I gained confidence in Dr. Swapnali's insight into my issues. The ongoing treatment, coupled with prescribed exercises and the convenience of virtual training videos, significantly alleviated my muscle weakness, tightness, and incorrect movement patterns. This positive impact extended to improved body balance, enhanced sleep quality, and heightened concentration in daily activities. Having completed four sessions with Dr. Swapnali, I now feel assured in resuming my regular routines, actively continuing the recommended exercises to strengthen my entire body. Dr. Swapnali's communication style is approachable, and her instructions are easy to follow. I enthusiastically recommend Quintessence Physical Therapy to those experiencing physical and muscle pains. The standout aspects of my experience with Quintessence Physical Therapy include the exceptional knowledge of the provider, their professional approach, and the friendly atmosphere that enhances the overall therapeutic journey. Tommy S.
Fantastic experience: Swapnali is very genuine and she patiently takes the time to thoroughly understand her patient’s needs in order to come up with a customized therapy plan for each patient. She also has a convenient portal where she posts the customized therapy plans for easy access. I would recommend Quintessence Physical Therapy.
Fantastic experience: "Hi , my name is Rama V. I had been living with full back pain for about 5 years before I went to Quintessence Physiotherapy. My friend had referred me to the Quintessence Physiotherapy and that I should give them a try. That’s when I met the therapist at Quintessence Physiotherapy. I am glad that I took my friend's advice. From the very first treatment that nagging lower back pain started to diminish. Now I am able to sit and stand like I used to before the pain. With just six treatments and advice about what exercises to perform, I am on the way to feeling like my old self again. I never would have expected such quick results for pain reduction and increased movement. Not only Quintessence is totally skillful and brilliant, Quintessence also offers a genuinely caring attitude and takes the time to explain the causes of pain and what one can expect in the future. Working with them is an all-around enjoyable experience. You will leave their office happier than when you walked in. As with any treatment, do not expect to be immediately cured; although, do not be surprised if it turns out to be a rapid fix."
Fantastic experience: Swapnali was referred to me by my PCP and has done wonders. She is unique from general physical therapists in the sense she evaluates your entire body to understand which muscles are under functioning and which ones are over functioning to provide holistic treatment. She genuinely cares about her patients making progress. I highly recommend working with her for PT needs.
Fantastic experience: I was extremely impressed with the quality of care that I received. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted friendly by the doctor who made me feel comfortable and at ease. My physiotherapy doctor Swapnali Chaudhary was exceptional. She was very knowledgeable and skilled in her area of expertise, and she took the time to explain my condition and treatment options to me in a way that was easy to understand. She was also very patient and understanding of my concerns and needs. During my treatment sessions, She was very attentive and worked with me to develop a personalized treatment plan that was tailored to my specific needs. She was also very encouraging and supportive, which helped me stay motivated throughout my treatment. I am happy to say that the treatment I received was very effective, and I noticed a significant improvement in my condition after just a few sessions. She was very thorough in her follow-up, and they made sure to check in with me regularly to monitor my progress. Overall, I would highly recommend Swapnali to anyone in need of physiotherapy treatment. They are very friendly and professional, She is highly skilled and knowledgeable, and the treatment is effective and personalized. If you are looking for a physiotherapy doctor that truly cares about your health and well-being, then look no further than Swapnali.
Fantastic experience: I am SO glad I found Quintessence PT for pelvic floor therapy. Swapnali has been absolutely wonderful from the beginning to end! She’s extremely knowledgeable, thorough and caring. The entire PT process has been enjoyable, if you can imagine PT being fun. I’ve learned so much and my body is finally functioning as intended. I hope to never need PFT again, but if I do, I know who I am calling right away.
Fantastic experience: Great experience as a first timer with Dr. Swapnali Chaudhary.She is fantastic. She is very patient and takes time to listen to your concerns and address them. She not only treated my condition effectively, but also made me comfortable to work with at every session. It is rare to find a doctor with outstanding medical care, and pleasant demeanor. I would highly recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat.
Fantastic experience: My teenage daughter injured her knee dancing and was in a lot of pain to the point where she was on crutches and could not extend her knee out. Our doctor had recommended ice and ibuprofen. She was better but the range of motion was affected, and the pain was not fully gone that we worried if she can even get back to dancing in the near future. I took her to meet Ms. Swapnali and I cannot recommend her enough. She listened, was extremely patient with my daughter, checked her thoroughly and recommended stretches and exercises to help her heal. She was chatting with my daughter as she was testing her and made her feel very comfortable and relaxed. The stretches and exercises that were recommended made a world of a difference. My daughter started seeing a huge difference within the first few days and during every subsequent visit Ms. Swapnali fine-tuned the stretches and exercises to account for where my daughter was on the healing process. She helped her build strength in the knees and engage the correct muscles to avoid future injuries. Again, I highly recommend Quintessence and Ms. Swapnali.
Fantastic experience: If you're reading this review, you're in the process of selecting the perfect provider to address your needs. Swapnali is incredibly knowledgeable and skilled. She dedicates time and patience to identify the root causes of the problem. Through her hands-on practice of NeuroKinetic therapy, you'll experience immediate results during the session. Following the physical therapy exercises she recommends is crucial for a speedy recovery. These exercises consist of small, impactful movements that aren't stressful or painful to perform. Overall, Swapnali is amazing and truly knows her craft. I'm delighted I chose her as my PT.
Fantastic experience: Several months ago, I had finally found an exercise routine I liked, a virtual reality program. It was so much fun I moved past the neck pain I was experiencing and kept going. Finally, I took a break, however the pain persisted. I finally went to traditional PT for 3 months and no change. Not only did my neck continue to hurt, but my knee began to hurt. That is still a mystery to me, but that is when I sought out a more holistic approach and found Swapnali at Quintessence. She pinpointed immediately where the pain originated in my body and had me do very easy, but meticulous exercises at home with the guide of online instructions. She is very thorough with each visit and I come away with a better understanding of how my body works and how I can continue to make progress at home. One weekend I was having severe pain that came out of nowhere and she spent time over the phone explaining what I should do to relieve it. It worked and the next day I felt 90% better. I’m so grateful to have found Swapnali! My knee pain has totally disappeared and my neck pain has decreased, all in less time that I spent at traditional physical therapy. I highly recommend Quintessence Physical Therapy not only for pain but also for preventive care to keep everything aligned and your muscles working as they should!!! I'm very happy I found QPT!
Fantastic experience: Quintessence Physical Therapy is amazing, and I would highly recommend it to any of my friends and family. Swapnali Chaudhary truly cares about her patients' progress and recovery. She takes great care in ensuring she gets to the root of her patients' injuries and that they are fully healed. Swapnali is Level 3 certified in Neurokinetic Therapy. Her level of certification is truly impressive and noticeable. She is able to treat the whole body with thorough training. Her knowledge is unparalleled. I initially went to her due to a chronic shoulder injury. Her mastery of understanding the way the entire body works and should be healed led her to addressing many other maladies I have been struggling with - from diaphragm and pelvic floor challenges, to knee, lower back, and foot issues. Swapnali can truly do it all! In addition, she is kind, attentive, thorough, generous with her time, and cares about her patients. She will email me and text me if I have questions. She never makes me feel rushed during an appointment. I can't recommend a physical therapist more highly.
Fantastic experience: I have struggled with pelvic pain for over 15 years, despite treatments and advice from gynecologists, urologists, and other physical therapists. After a while I became discouraged and resigned myself to just living with it. Then in November 2022, I also began to have knee pain, soon followed by pain in my hip/lower back, which ultimately left me unable to use stairs or walk up/down an incline. Driving was also painful. NeuroKinetic Therapy has been highly effective for me. After two sessions with Swapnali, my pelvic pain decreased dramatically. We continue to work toward complete resolution. After additional work addressing my knee and hip pain, I am now comfortable using stairs and driving. I really appreciate that Swapnali is very clear and direct in communicating her assessments and recommendations concerning my condition. She has taught me a great deal about how different parts of the body are interconnected and the importance of all the parts working together properly. She treats the whole body, not just an isolated area. I highly recommend her practice.
Fantastic experience: I was having back pain for a couple of months before I started going for PT. Swapnali has been amazing; She provides 1:1 attention to her patients (that has not been my experience in the past), explains why she’s treating the way she’s treating a patient and is responsive and patient to the patient’s needs. I have recommended my family and friends to visit her for their PT needs, and would do the same for everyone else.
Fantastic experience: Late in my pregnancy I wanted to ensure my pelvic floor was in good shape for delivery and a friend of mine recommended Quintessence PT. Dr Swapnali gave probably the most comprehensive PT evaluation I've ever had, I could tell she was an expert in pelvic floor therapy. I enjoyed using the app with the exercises recommended, and I appreciate the personalized comments she adds for each client. The exercises prescribed really helped me feel more physically prepared and confident. Delivery went great, and I've been seeing Swapnali since week 7 PP and even though it's more difficult to keep up with therapy and exercises now, what I've been able to do has been making an impact and I'm feeling on track to adding more intense exercise, hopefully soon! I'm thankful I found Dr Swapnali, I appreciate how Invested she has been in my recovery and how much progress I've been making. I'd definitely recommend Dr Swapnali for pelvic floor PT!
Fantastic experience: I’ve had issues with my balance for quite awhile and recently began to fall on a weekly basis. My neurologist referred me to Quintessence and Ms. Chaudhary. I began to notice improvement pretty quickly. At the end of our second session, I was awe-struck with the changes. I’ve become less wobbly and continue to make progress. I haven’t fallen once, and I’ve only been seeing her for the past three weeks. I look forward to continuing this work with Ms. Chaudhary. Not only is my balance improving but so is my temperament, I’m feeling happy most all the time. L.B. Owen
Fantastic experience: It took me 3 babies to finally seek out postpartum pelvic floor therapy. My diastasis recti (long and deep) was bothering me and needed to do something about it. Came across this office on Google and decided to give it a shot. So glad I did! I'm still getting treatment once a week, but my muscles are working so much better now, and already seen improvement in depth. The therapist takes a whole body approach, so I've seen improvement in other areas as well (low back pain, tightness, pelvic floor discomfort, and more). This is not your typical physical therapy, the neurological approach is mind blowing every time I go. I'd recommend Swapnali to anyone who needs physical therapy.
Fantastic experience: I had this on and off pain in my pelvic area which started after the birth of my first child. It used to hurt a lot with standing up for longer times, walking for longer times and if I generally had hectic schedule. The pain got swept under the rug as usual pains associated with childbirth and I thought with time it will go away. The pain was limiting me to do continuous work while standing. When I mentioned this to Dr. Swapnali from Quintessence Physical Therapy, she asked me a detailed explanation of how and when the pain started and evaluated me thoroughly. She is a very good listener and I thought for the first time someone was not dismissing my pain. The exercises she gave me were very simple but had a huge impact and my pain was gone. It is such a relief. I would highly recommend Quintessence Physical Therapy to better your aches and pains whether they are big or small.
Fantastic experience: Working with Swapnali at Quintessence Physical Therapy has been a great experience. They are kind, professional, and very knowledgeable. The techniques they use are gentle and easy to follow at home. I was experiencing a lot of hip and low back pain while trying to prepare for a backpacking trip. They were able to help relieve me of my pain and I was able to go on my trip successfully. Highly recommend them.
Fantastic experience: I sought Quintessence Physical Therapy for an issue with my calf that I had tried to nurse myself and though was doing better, but the pain and discomfort continued reappearing even two months later. All along, I was babying my calf with a calf brace but still not able to comfortably do the activity I love doing – social dancing. My calf kept cramping and getting sore and I was limping around. I am so glad my friend "insisted" I seek help from Quintessence Physical Therapy. I was not too happy having to pay out-of-pocket because Quintessence is out-of-network for me, but I was totally sold after my very first visit and knew I was in good hands with Swapnali. She spent almost an hour and a half thoroughly evaluating all aspects of my body and explaining what was going on. It was hard for me to be believe that my calf had not been engaging and that my deep core was weak. I was given some simple exercises and release to do at home to get the calf to engage and strengthen the core. I had two visits with Swapnali before she had to go on vacation. I continued to do the simple exercises for the short while she was away and noticed a drastic improvement in my condition. I could even tell that my core was getting much stronger. Since then, I've had a few of more appointments and additional related and non-related issues addressed. I've stopped wearing the calf brace altogether and I'm dancing to my heart's content! For the last two weeks (while I was still in therapy), I've been dancing four days a week for almost two hours each day without my calf misbehaving! I can't thank Swapnali enough. Quintessence website and other reviews already describe Swapnali's approach. I wholeheartedly agree with and endorse this holistic approach to physical therapy. It's been a pleasure working with Swapnali. She never makes you feel rushed and promptly addresses your questions and concerns via call, email, or text. I wish there were more medical professionals as passionate and dedicated to helping people as her. If you are in need for physical therapy, I would "insist" that you go to Quintessence Physical Therapy. Even if you have had physical therapy elsewhere and it didn't help, give Quintessence a try.
Fantastic experience: I recommend Quintessence Physical Therapy without hesitation. Dr. Choudhari has worked closely with me to assess and treat shoulder pain and back pain. She is one of the most attentive doctors I've ever met, listens carefully to what I have to say, and gives top quality care. When I have had questions about the exercises to do at home between appointments, she responded to my questions via text - or sometimes phone call - to make sure I understood what to do. Under her care, my shoulder is healing and my back pain is nearly gone. I anticipate in a few more weeks they will not be an issue any more as I continue the exercises she's given. It is important to make sure you understand the exercises she gives to do them correctly at home. Thank you, Dr. Choudhari!
Fantastic experience: It was great working with Dr Swapnali. I suffered from Diastesis Recti… went to several therapists who were only working on the wrong diagnosis and I did not see much difference. Doing the exercises under her guidance, understanding which muscles to engage was what made a huge difference in the quality of my life. Every myofascial release and every session just made me stronger. Very thankful to the Doctor who actually listens.
Fantastic experience: I have been dealing with chronic pain/discomfort for over 10 years. I have seen countless doctors, chiropractors, and physical therapists, and they could only alleviate the symptoms. Quintessence Physical Therapy actually got to the root(s) of the problem, and now I finally see a light at the end of the tunnel. I could not recommend them enough! If I could give 6 stars I would.
Fantastic experience: After a bad sprain left me in crutches in 2017 I had insurance that sent me to one mediocre quack after another. The disingenuine nature of these so called professionals who wasted my time left me cynical and avoidant of proper treatment for years. Finally, tired of my regular re-injuries and my physical activities being so limited and painfullyyyy aware that these issues would only get worse with age I decided to look for help in the Austin area and found Quintessence. After just four treatments and three weeks on the daily exercises my quality of life improved tenfold. Now months later as I'm nearing my discharge date I can confidently say that Dr Chaudhary's frank yet compassionate education, insistence on treating my body holistically as one whole machine, and individualized approach to my recovery has positively effected more than just my fitness and mobility. Without their care I would not have the quality of life I have today. If you've found frustrations with your care in the past go to Quintessence and tell them you deserve better, because Dr Chaudhary will agree with you and show you how to get there.
Fantastic experience: I was referred to Swapnali Chaudhary, PT, MSPT at Quintessence PT after not seeing results at a different provider with their pelvic floor therapy plan. I had bad anxiety before sessions and was generally uncomfortable going to the appointments. My sessions with Swapnali are relaxing and nothing like what I experienced during previous pelvic floor therapy sessions. One reason is she is also following Neuro-Kinetic Physiotherapy techniques during my session. This has absolutely changed everything. I was first diagnosed with pelvic pain, kidney stones and then pilonidal cyst. These have been very painful with no simple fix but since I have been seeing Swapnali I am seeing more improvement than I have in years. I highly recommend her services.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Quintessence Physical Therapy for about 8 weeks now, starting when I was about 10 weeks postpartum. I was suffering from bad neck and neck pain, as well as still having some ab separation from my pregnancy. Dr. Swapnali has been so helpful in getting me back to where I want to be with my core strength, and my neck and back feel sooo much better than they did when I first went to her. Not only does she give helpful exercises to do at home (which are super easy to follow on the app she uses), but she also does manual therapy in office which is something I haven’t experienced with other PTs - but it makes a huge difference. I’m so glad I found Quintessence and would highly recommend to anyone, especially if you’re having pain postpartum.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been to a number of PT clinics over the years, but I have never received so much focused attention as I have at Quintessence. This one-on-one intensive care has given me major results in my health over a relatively short period of time. I will recommend Quintessence to anyone looking for personalized high quality care.
Fantastic experience: I took my son to Swapnali as he had wrist tendonitis and just one session later following all the wrist exercises that she had given, his pain is gone!! I am so impressed with her care and treatment plan that I highly recommend her to anyone in pain. Swapnali was very patient, polite, attentive and asked a lot of questions to help diagnose the issue and curate the best treatment plan and she is not in a hurry to push you out the door.
Fantastic experience: I had tried PT, chiropractic and massage for in going hip pain, none of them solved my issue. Quintessence was quite different from other modalities. She spent quality 1.5 hours with me in each session and provided detailed exercises to do at home. After 6 weeks I was pain free and have been since then. I highly recommend the treatments.
Fantastic experience: I have been a patient of Quintessence PT for the past 4 months. I have an old injury, approx 11 years ago, from hysterectomy surgery of which my hip was twisted somehow during the procedure. It also traumatized a sacral nerve called the Pudendal nerve. Sitting, walking, standing, even laying down became unbearable & I was basically crippled. I sought therapy after for several years & it helped some however none of it helped to strengthen my body back to normal function. So I continued to suffer it out. I knew recently I needed to find therapy again & the “right therapy & therapist” to help me help myself to better function. After some research I found Swapnali @ Quintessence PT through the Neurokinetic website. She is amazing & her therapy has been helping me to where I have better movement & am regaining strength & balance. My energy level has increased dramatically. She is compassionate about her work & I felt from the beginning she really cares about my well-being. She is truly gifted & listens to you. I cannot recommend her more. I know that from my experience one can easily give up on themselves & investing in therapies. Swapnali has restored my faith & the fact that the body can heal with the right person & therapy. I am beyond grateful for her helping me & for my better quality of life. Once again I cannot recommend her more.
Fantastic experience: Before working with Swapnali, walking would cause pain in my right quad and ankle. I had tried heat, foam rolling, medication, supplements, topicals, chiropractic care, and other types of physical therapy, but everything I had tried only brought me short term relief. After a few weeks of working with Swapnali, I experienced significant relief - I am able to walk and exercise without pain! Also, other issues cleared up that I didn’t originally come in for - my balance improved and standing has become more comfortable. I strongly recommend Quintessence Physical Therapy!
Fantastic experience: Ms. Chaudhary is a magical and masterful physical therapist. I recommend her to anyone and everyone, especially those in any kind of pain and/or ailment that might need surgery (as a second opinion). I set up an appointment with her as recommended by my gynecologist and she ended up helping me in improving the condition I saw her for and many more areas in need of help, which I hadn't realized were bothering me. I am stronger and my pain is gone. She gave me exercises to keep things that way, which I fully intend keep up. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Swapnali is magic! At least it feels that way. :) I have been dealing with an issue with not being able to void my urine properly, for the last decade. After surgeries, acupuncture and other forms of healing, I was referred to Quintessence PT. It took 10 days to be able to pee freely again and I feel like I'm walking on sunshine. Swapnali knows exactly what she is doing and through small movements and exercises, she balances the whole body. My broken foot from a year ago even feels better as well! I can't say this enough, if you need PT care...especially Pelvic PT care, run to Quintessence PT! She is the best! :)
Fantastic experience: I was recommended to Quintessence by my primary care doctor for tail bone discomfort and lower back pain and I'm very happy I got the care. Swapnali is very knowledgeable has a unique way of assessing the issue and remedying it. You get a dedicated hour with her unlike a lot of other PT places. I am very happy with the results and I would highly recommend her.
Fantastic experience: I worked with PT Swapnali Chaudhary from Quintessence Physical Therapy, for several weeks in regards to my knee pain, which I had for several months. Swapnali was extremely knowledgeable, patient, diligent and helpful throughout my entire rehab process. She was always prepared and committed to each session, ensuring I was progressing according to schedule, was available over the phone and did multiple follow ups. I also appreciated her quick-wittedness and humor during some of the tougher sessions. Due to Swapnali's help, I was able to finish my therapy in very short time and my pain levels went down from 8 to almost zero, I'm now able to walk, run and function without any limitation. I highly recommend Swapnali from Quintessence Physical Therapy!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Swapnali Chaudhary is the most caring physical therapist. She not only listens to why you need therapy but finds any thing else that could prevent you from properly healing. She spends as much time as needed with you and doesn’t push you out the door. It is one on one therapy so she can continuously try to correct anything needed. I came to see her for pelvic floor therapy, that I should of done over a year ago and she also helped me with previous neck injury was causing issues still from years ago as well. I would recommend her to everyone that has any pains/ injury that other doctors can’t help with or even any unexplained weakness or balance issues. If every PT had her training and compassion, most everyone would be able to heal their bodies. Don’t hesitate to get a consultation, best decision you can make!
Fantastic experience: Quintessence physical therapy has great therapists. I have been treated by Swapnali. She has been very patient and attentive to my needs. She has great amount of knowledge about body and muscles and has always explained in detail what was the cause of my issue. She never rushes through the visit, always give time and attention. She follows hand on approach which I love the most. Definitely recommend it!
Fantastic experience: This review is long overdue. I cannot say enough positive things about Ms. Swapnali Chaudhary and her approach to physical therapy. I saw her last year for neck and shoulder pain (rotator cuff injuries), as well as pain in my hands due to degenerative arthritis. Within a few sessions, I saw improvements and my pain decreased. The home exercise plan was thoughtfully crafted and personalized for my specific symptoms. Her approach is holistic, and it works! I've seen many PTs over the years, and although some have been excellent, no one else has used this type of holistic and neuro-kinetic approach to my treatment. In addition, when I was discharged, she created a home program that was tailored to specific areas, so that I could treat these areas as needed. I would recommend Ms. Swapnali without any reservation--I have already shared her name with friends/family who need a good PT.
Fantastic experience: Quintessence PT is an amazing place to go for holistic body analysis, treatment plans and healing. I suffered an injury from competitive rowing and was in pain for several weeks prior to seeing Swapnali. Within 2 weeks of frequent Quintessence PT treatment and home exercises, my intense pain was reduced and mobility had returned. I continued PT for several more weeks to fully recover and Swapnali maintained her holistic approach the entire time - she attended to my neck, shoulder, ribs and feet to aid the recovery of a hip injury. I highly recommend Swapnali's approach and amazing application of her PT skills.
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Swapnali now for a couple months and she has been very instrumental in helping me achieve my health goals. Since having my child I have experienced pelvic floor pain. I thought that I would be stuck with a lot of these concerns for the long haul, but she has explained to me how the body can correct these issues through a series of exercises of strengthening you body. Even breathing the wrong way can create a slew of issues that can build up over time. Swapnali has been patient and kind and she always explains things to me in a caring way that helps me understand the healing process. She is very knowledgeable about the body. Do not hesitate to make an appointment with her if you are experiencing any kind of physical pain.
Fantastic experience: I have been dealing with pain in my hamstring for over a year now (along with a lot of other random ailments throughout my body). I was at the point of getting an MRI (had one scheduled), but decided to look for a PT that does neurokinetic therapy based on a lot of research I had done. From the very beginning, Swapnali was extremely professional and easy to work with. I am still on a healing journey, but working in the right direction thanks to her help! She is extremely educated and I experienced shifts in my body/pain based on specific adjustments or pressure points she worked through which was very cool. She takes her work seriously and has a great memory of issues we have discussed in the past. This is perfect for anyone that wants full body healing without the BS. This isn't a quick fix. You have to be serious about getting better and doing the exercises she assigns, but if you are willing to put in the effort she is the perfect therapist for you!
Fantastic experience: I can not speak highly enough of my experience at Quintessence. I started attending PT sessions because of rotator cuff issues (from swimming and weights) and because of hip pain (long distance running). Over the course of four months, Swapnali not only addressed those local issues, but also started to deal with the root causes (core and rotational strength). Swapnali is extremely diligent in tracking week to week results, allowing fast course corrections if things are not improving. She demonstrates an uncommon level of scientific knowledge as well as care and concern for her patients, and she really views PT as a two way interaction. My wife recommended Swapnali to me, and I would refer anyone who needs PT to this unique and wonderful practitioner!
Fantastic experience: I saw Dr. Swapnali after I suffered a shoulder injury from playing volleyball/tennis. She was super knowledgeable about the body and explained how everything connects. After every session, I left feeling better. Not only that, but she was extremely flexible when I would need to change my appointments due to unforeseen circumstances. I have been able to return to the sports I love after months of recovery. Would recommend Dr. Swapnali to anyone needing an experienced, affordable, and kind PT.
Fantastic experience: I found out about Quintessence 2 years ago when I was pregnant. I decided to set up an appointment to get an assessment of my pelvic floor health in preparation for the delivery. From the get go, I found Swapnali to be very meticulous and diligent in her efforts. She reached out to me before my first visit to give an overview of what she will do in the assessment. I started my therapy in full force after my delivery. I was diagnosed with diastasis recti, and contrary to popular belief, Swapnali was so assured that with proper physical therapy this can be fixed. And it did happen for me! During the course of the treatment, I found Swapnali to be a very patient and empathetic listener. She's very good at her job, it was almost magical to me, but of course scientific to her, when she would diagnose some pain to be due to a very specific muscle not doing its work. There were hundreds of instances where she would very quickly figure out the root cause of some muscle not engaging the way it should leading it to pain in a different location. Looking back I feel my sessions with Swapnali in my postpartum period did a lot of good for me, both physically as well as mentally. While I would highly recommend her to all new mothers for their pelvic floor health, Swapnali diagnosed and helped me with my years old neck and shoulder pain as well. Wish you a lot of success in your career Swapnali!
Fantastic experience: It was recommended by my orthopedic physician that I receive physical therapy for a chronic and acute pain in my right hip following a double hip replacement. I chose Quintessence because of the reviews praising the individual approach used by their therapists. Swapnali did an initial evaluation to determine the root cause of the problem and then targeted treatment to address the situation. I now have less pain and am able to return to a more active lifestyle. I would recommend Quintessence and Swapnali to anyone seeking a more individualized approach to physical therapy.
Fantastic experience: Why is Quintessence Physical Therapy different than big chain physical therapy places? Well, Swapnali Chaudhary is not afraid to treat the whole person. I had gone to several physical therapy places that were approved by my insurance, but these places refused to address adjacent areas outside of what was written on the prescription. They also put me on exercise machines for like 90% of the session. Swapnali is different. She is extremely knowledgeable and knows that pain in one area might be related to an issue in another area. She doesn't just give you a list of exercises and hopes things will get better. She thoroughly explains every exercise, what muscles are being targeted with each movement, and (most importantly) when to stop targeting those muscles. She also does manual therapy, like myofascial release. If you feel like nothing is working for you, please give Quintessence Physical Therapy a call. You won't regret it!
Fantastic experience: I am now 65 and was diagnosed with a bladder prolapse a few years ago. Last May, the hormones I was taking, prescribed by a naturopathic doctor, stopped working as far as my feeling the pressure of the prolapse. It was recommended then that the next step wasn't more hormones but physical therapy. I read all the great reviews about Quintessence and was hopeful Dr. Swapnali could help me. I thought maybe over time the pressure would be relieved but I was pleasantly surprised when after the first visit, the pressure and discomfort wasn't there! It is now October and I'm still free of that awful feeling. I have learned so much from Dr. Swapnali. She's teaching me about the importance of breath in relation to how my diaghram moves and pushes on the pelvic floor. I've learned about how injury and regular, everyday stress can produce scar tissue that contributes to a tight pelvic floor. Every visit was followed by specific exercises that she personalized for me and that I do at home. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I appreciate, so much what she's done for me, that I recommended my husband and a friend see her too! Dr. Swapnali is kind, caring, brilliant, and innovative. In my humble opinion, she walks her talk and is a beautiful example of her teachings. Austin, Texas is very fortunate to have such a gifted physical therapist!
Fantastic experience: I've had pelvic floor pain for as long as 2 years and just thought there was nothing I could do about it. I found Quintessence Physical Therapy just by searching around me and am so glad I did. Swapnali really helped me understand the different factors that might be contributing to my pain and was patient in helping me work on strengthening different parts of my body. I never felt rushed in any appointments, and I always felt comfortable in her care. She was very kind and professional in all our sessions. I feel more equipped now to release tense areas, and I feel like I even learned a thing or two about the rest of my body. I would definitely recommend Swapnali for any pelvic floor related issues.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Swapnali is a great physical therapist. she was able to diagnose the cause of upper back pain and able to treat it with correct exercises. I feel relieve on my pain after her 3 sessions only. She is even checking my overall body muscle strength and helping me to release my muscle tensions. I would highly recommend her.
Fantastic experience: Quintessence physical therapy has been a game changer for me. Swapnali has been really patient and have been helping me with my shoulder and back. She is super knowledgable and explains everything in details. She not only helped me with the pain 9i was having since couple of months but also helped me work on my daily habbits which might lead to dicomfort
Fantastic experience: Swapnali has been excellent! I couldn’t stand, sit, sleep (and a lot more!) without feeling pain throughout my back and hips. Swapnali’s application of NKT has been incredibly helpful, insightful, and effective. I love her dedication to patient care, esp her writing extremely detailed notes of how exercises are properly done. She’s extremely encouraging and thoughtful when sharing feedback of progress and improvements. I also enjoy our talks on life as she applies treatment—always pleasant conversations!
