I have been Disabled in my back and Left Leg for over 10 years. I have gone , or been referred to 5 Different Physical Therapists. Not One Ever Mentioned My Alignment. Tulla, at Physio Wise, not only Discussed My Alignment being so badly off; but rather, analizes Ever muscle, every Single Part of My Back and every Muscle or Position being off. Due to the Extreme Scoliosis UCSDs surgery Left Much Worsened, I tend to be bent over. I came to Tulla Scared Of This Horrible reality; Tulla s Expertise Literally Left Me feeling Almost Straightened. I can't Even Express how relieving it feels knowing She Is Constantly Watching All of My Alignment every muscle , Every Wonderful Session . I just can't believe her wisdom and Above Kindness For a Person Feeling Handicapped. She is punbelievable. Brenda Kitrosser read more

Tuula is a one of a kind "therapist", as she knows every muscle in the body from her PT experience and she brings it to her Pilates business. I have scoliosis, a painful double curve and have had every therapy known to man. Not only have they not helped, but some have created more pain by not understanding the specific needs a scoliosis client. Once I met Tuula, I realized that she has a unique understanding of my special needs, and creates a program every visit to treat my particular body limitations and work on strengthening my body as a whole. She is truly a unicorn in the business, and her 1-on-1 attention to the smallest movements sets her apart from the rest. read more

Tuula helped me get me back to where I needed to be. I had no idea what Pilates was before working with Tuula. I had knee surgery last year and felt like the PT I went through after my surgery was not enough. After reading her website I signed up for 5 sessions. My legs and core never felt stronger and will always remember her for helping me through the recovery of my surgery and the education I received in the field of Pilates. Thanks again Tuula, hope you are doing well! read more

I have been taking Pilates and physical therapy from Tuula for 4 years now. She has helped me tremendously with my pain, strength, mobility, balance and positive attitude. (Constant pain makes your brain hurt too) I saw her pre and post surgery for a discectomy, lumbar and cervical fusion. I like her "Pain=No Gain" philosophy. She is from Finland so a lot of her education does not translate to the U.S but I find her much more educated than most physical therapists I have encountered. She has an attention to detail and also a compassionate personality that is important when you are in pain. My husband and son also saw her for and got great results. I would not hesitate to see Tuula if you are suffering any type of physical pain, I truly believe she can help you. read more

Tuula has a rare combination of extensive experience & knowledge in PT and Pilates. She is truly a rare find! On top of this her European approach to patient care is more personal and friendly - unlike any I have experienced in 100's of hours of PT before. I have 20+ years experience trying many different modalities in conventional and alternative treatments for recovery and pain from 3 surgeries. Lastly she loves her work and does not charge an arm and a leg like most other treatments I have tried before. read more

A surgeon said that I needed a full hip replacement. I decided to try strengthening my body and increasing flexibility instead. I found Tuula and Physio Wise and have never been better! I am stronger overall, and my hip no longer hurts constantly. Tuula has a depth and breadth of knowledge mixed with kindness, compassion, and true caring for the individual. She knows just how much to work all areas of my body without pain or further injury. I have encouraged my husband to go to Tuula now, too. I thank God for Tuula!! read more

Tuula is simply the best Pilates teacher I have ever had. She helped me get my core strength back postpartum, after having stomach muscle separation and lots of hip/back/pelvis pain during pregnancy. She is a skilled professional with a deep understanding of the body and that means she can tailor exercises to you and your issues, rather than just give generic instructions like you would get in a generic Pilates class. I improved more in a few months of sessions with her than I ever have in any Pilates setting before, and I have been doing Pilates for quite a few years now. She is also a straight up lovely person and a pleasure to see once a week. read more

Tuula is the best! I have been going twice a week for a year and have never been in better shape. I am strong and flexible and enjoy every workout. She keeps each routine interesting and challenging. I would recommend pilates and specifically Tuula to anyone at any level!! read more

Tuula's background in physical therapy elevates Pilates experience to a whole new level. She has been the only instructor I have worked with who helped me to improve my posture, properly strengthen my core and, most important, reduce the pain I am constantly getting from an old back injury. She knows how to chose correct exercises for client's specific needs and she is truly invested in the client's success! read more
