Scott seems to be a kind and compassionate man, and I had high hopes for my treatment at Wholistic. I had to find a new PT since mine of many years no longer took my insurance, and since she was a manual PT and did some myofascial release work, I thought Scott's practice would be a good fit. My first visit was pleasant and reassuring; in the evaluation I explained that I had fibromyalgia and had undergone cervical spine surgery and was very reactive, so caution was needed. On my second visit, Scott spent a lot of time on my neck. Apparently he did something to a cervical disc (two other PTs have since explained to me how this happened). By the time I got home I was in severe pain that only got worse over the next several days. I saw my internist who immediately knew I had a pinched nerve and sent me for an MRI that confirmed a bulging disc and nerve compression. Eight weeks on (and after a ruined, agonizing trip to Europe), I am waiting for a cortisone injection and hoping desperately to avoid surgery. The office called me a while back to see why I hadn't returned and I explained. I haven't received any followup call or apology -- it seems fear of lawsuits rules. I don't even know what to say as a warning; I'm sure the damage was unintentional, but it's done, and it's probably permanent. Just -- be careful, I guess. read more

Wholistic Physical Therapy- A Beautifully orchestrated practice of Wellness, you have finally arrived at a space where you "WILL" be Healed.  Upon your arrival,  attune yourself to the High Vibration of Healing. You are welcomed with a warm smile and soft voices. If you are lucky enough, Sage will even come over to greet you (yes, there is even an animal healer available). Now relax on the comfortable sofa, as you listen to the music of soft Native American flute playing in the background. Smell the essential oil aroma wafting through the air. Have a cup of tea. BREATHE. When you are finally delivered to your room, it will be clean and comfortable and you will be treated with the utmost of compassion and care.  As your treatment begins, you will be listened to intently, touched with gentle hands, and may even break down "sobbing in tears" as long held emotional trauma lodged deeply into your tissue is finally released. Notice how this "Intuitive" practitioner  is "breathing through your pain" - to help clear it. Relax.  You will be reminded throughout your session, that this is a "Safe Space " that you may be free to "Let Go" of anything which you are holding onto causing you pain. At times, the release of trigger points can be painful- just breathe into the pain and allow it to FLOW.  At the end of your session, you will be allowed time to relax - enveloped in the luxury of moist heat packs or infrared light therapy. You will NOT be rushed. You are always advised that you may rest longer - if need be.  Here, at Wholistic Physical Therapy- your Healing is truly HONORED.  As a Center of Whole Body Wellness, Scott and his Expert team are FULLY INVESTED in your Healing -  as you have noticed above, Scott uses various tools, appealing to "all of the senses." Gently  rolled  into your protocol will be the importance of diet, movement, mind awareness, breathing and exercises to perform at home. Allow yourself to experience the gifts of each and every practitioner here. There is a great deal to learn from them.  On your way out, check out the "Learning Library." It is important for us to be "pro-active" in our healing. Knowledge is POWER!  In addition, Scott has taken the time to explain in great measure the Magic of "Myofascial Massage" on his website. Make sure you check it out.  At the end of your first session, and for that matter every session thereafter, you will "drift" out of this "Sacred Space" knowing:  THE UNIVERSE has answered my call; HEAVEN has DELIVERED an "EARTH ANGEL" read more

I am a 71 year old male who was a college athlete and has a broken body to prove it! I have had a life long back problem and recently injured it badly, playing baseball with my grandkids! I have gone to chiropractors and orthopedic doctors and never really felt like the problem was solved! However, My 8 week stint at Wholistic Physical therapy was a completely all around mental and physical success! The people there , most notably Scott Luanne and Katy , as well as the support staff Jess and Steve, were incredible individuals who showed nothing but positive influence on me. The therapists emphasized not only what they were showing me in terms of both exercise and diet, but helped me make a complete lifestyle change in these areas! I would highly recommend them for anyone who needs therapy and I guarantee that if one follows what is presented to them , their life will improve many times over! Mine Has!!!!!! read more

I have been seriously in pain with my sciatic for at least 6 months . This wholistic physical therapy was very new to me . I can not say it enough that this different way of PT helped me so much . I can walk on the treadmill , bike and all exercise and stretches without struggling. Also, very happy to say I am on the mend and I have 1more treatment left. I am so happy that I started coming here and every person that work here is knowledgeable, caring,friendly .I feel so relax and calm as soon as I walk into the office. I mentioned it's my last day next Monday for therapy with the therapist and they all helped me in so many ways . I am grateful for their positive actions while working very hard with me and it all paid off. Thank you read more

So often PT is about treatment plans and fixing a structural issue. But healing involves more than that. It's about body/mind/spirit. Especially chronic pain issues. Wholistic Physical Therapy embodies true healing in their practice. You can feel the way Scott and Kate truly care about all of you when they are treating you. Their knowledge base is extensive and they are always providing education so you are a partner in the treatment and can feel safe with whatever they are doing. And a shout out to Steve - for keeping everything running smoothly and making me feel welcome from the moment I step through the door! read more

Getting professional help for physical challenges can be the biggest challenge. Wholistic Physical Therapy totally removes that challenge. The office staff is superb with every detail of appointments, follow up, accommodating schedule changes and everything in between. The caliber of professional therapy is without equal. It is simply the best. The therapists not only understand their skills but they apply them with true skill and clearly targeted results, and then achieve them. My highest recommendation. Doug M read more

I am so happy I found WholisticPT ! The staff and atmosphere add to the amazing treatment. I noticed positive changes after the first session. All my concerns about my diagnosis, surgery and treatment were thoroughly addressed. I have recommended WholisticPT to many family and friends. Looking forward to my next session! read more

Whenever I have treatment I always feel like it's helpful and healing, some sessions are even more so. Today was one of those. Earlier this week, when I went out to my garden, I discovered a sparrow had gotten entangled in the net we put over the cherry tomatoes (to keep the birds from taking a bite out of every one). The poor bird was exhausted and terrified of me. As I tried to help free it, it's struggling just entangled it more. Finally I was able to gently hold it, and work the mesh free. As I was working, the bird relaxed, I was able to get the net off, and then off it went. But first it had to "let go" of the struggle against the net. Kind of like me today. I pictured that little brown bird struggling in my hand, and was able to "let go" of the struggle against the pain. I trusted you, to take the net off. And I felt a huge release and opening. Freedom from pain. Thank you. read more

Myofascial Release is the main modality practiced here. If you are looking for something resembling mainstream massage therapy or physical therapy, you will not find it here.. Myofascial Release, as practiced here, is more than a little esoteric and involved more than a few very unexpected psychotherapy-esque moments. At one point in the session a suggestion was made the gist of which was "why are you so committed to holding on to the story of your pain" : | Just going on out on a limb here, but I don't think the average person in chronic pain, and thus chronic fear of worsening pain, is really helped by this line of inquiry , which to my way of thinking is uncomfortably close to "it's your fault, and it's all in your head anyway." Also, as if all of that wasn't enough to make me regret spending money for this nonsense, there was a SHAMELESS and completely unexpected sales pitch towards the end for Juice Plus. Juice Plus is sold through a Multilevel Marketing company.. If you haven't heard of Juice Plus a quick google will reveal how terrific it is.. will Juice Plus hurt you ? nope. Will it save your life and cure your arthritis (like it did for OJ Simpson)? Nope. Will you feel completely snookered if you buy it from this guy.. yep, you probably eventually will. They also tried to get me to buy an overpriced semi hard plastic 3" or so diameter ball to lay on.. I'm sure that could be some value to using a ball in this way for self massage - it's not so different a concept from a foam roller, etc.. but when you're already spent A LOT on a one on one session, and you know that said plastic ball probably cost them 50 cents or so from a wholesaler on ebay or in china, it feels really shitty to be told to buy it for an additional 10 dollars. especially right after receiving the unexpected pseudo-pschotherapy and the juice plus sales pitch. Maybe there is something to the philosophy and practice of Myofascial Release - i'm a possibilitarian, and am not writing off the practice as a whole - but unfortunately all the other icky things about my experience at Wholistic Physical Therapy described above occluded any faith I could have had in the practitioner and process here. Yuck. This will probably get taken down somehow, but hopefully one or two people can benefit before it does.. read more

A friend recommended Wholistic to me. From the welcome greeting to the tranquil setting and professional, compassionate and knowledgeable Therapists I was in the right place. Last October 2017 I received a flu shot in my left arm and had a bad reaction. With the help of Kamal I was able to finally move my arm without pain and sleep. This September 2018 when I found myself with terrible pain in my right hand and arm I knew exactly the place to go. With Kamal's help I was able to move my arm, perform tasks I hadn't been able to and get a better understanding of where my pain was stemming from. After a session you feel more relaxed. You are presented with easy at home exercises to help you get back to where you can function a normal life. The therapists take the time to listen. You are not given a sheet of equipment to work on and go off by yourself. You have one-on-one full attention of your therapist. I highly recommend this practice from the wonderful care I received. read more

Scott and his team are the best at what they do and go above and beyond. Over the years I have always had good results from PT however since I started working with Scott, I can say that the impact on my wellness has been significant and transformational. They take great interest in getting to know you and put into action a comprehensive program to get you feeling your best in mind, body and spirit. read more

Working with Kamal at Wholistic Physical Therapy has been life changing. Before seeing Kamal I was getting migraines multiple times a week and now am nearly migraine free. I previously saw a traditional physical therapist but didn't find any pain relief. The office staff is always friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Wholistic Phsycial Therapy! read more

I have had chronic pain for about 10 years. I've seen chiropractors, physical therapists, doctors, and others. In just 2 months Scott has given me more pain relief than anyone else I have ever seen. His approach is different than anyone I have seen. Thank you for the help! It has definitely changed my life. read more

I have attended many sessions of Physical Therapy and I have never encountered any other practice or exercises as the ones I have received at Wholistic Physical Therapy. They are absolutely the best. I've had much experience and much time for thoughtful comparisons and noone in the Physical Therapy business comes near Wholistic Physical therapy in Brewster. The results are amazing and I my body has never felt as good as it does today. I thank Wholistic Therapy and Thank God I discovered them. read more

Wholistic Physical Therapy is the best! I had been living with chronic neck and shoulder pain for over 20 years. I went through a myriad of other treatments from pain management to chiropractors. In a matter of 8 weeks Scott was able to not only control my pain but completely heal it. Myofacial Release and Craniosacral Therapy are gentle forms of stretching and balancing that have a deep, profound effect on the body's tissues. A WHOLE body / mind approach is used to reduce pain, restore movement and improve function. I have been pain free since December 2017. What a remarkable feeling to be able to return to a whole person again. Thank you Scott!!! I highly recommend Wholistic Physical Therapy. read more

This is my first Physical Therapy experience. The practice was highly recommended from someone I totally respect, it has lived up to my expectations and beyond. From the staff to the practitioners I've found it to be very welcoming, accommodating and safe. The Wholistic approach and the myofascial release work has addressed the problem I came there for and another problem that could have ended in surgery but now will not. Now i highly recommend the practice. read more

The staff here made me feel very comfortable from the beginning. I have worked with many Physical Therapist before and I can say that the staff here is exception. I love the holistic approach. I have seen better results in 5 sessions here than I have in 6 months of sessions at other Physical Therapy practices. read more

This practice has very knowledgeable and care-giving Physical Therapists, an excellent staff, and a welcoming space. The therapists practice the Myofascial release technique, which of all the physical therapy I have had, has been the most helpful and effective for me. This, combined with expert evaluation of my issues and exercises to do at home, has relieved my pain, and helped me to learn new patterns for better posture and body alignment. read more

Different from traditional physical therapy, this manual and holistic approach to healing the body will leave you feeling not only better at the site of your pain, but feeling better as a whole person. The most difficult part of the therapy is giving yourself permission to let go of your pain. Scott and Meghan can help you through the process. They are experienced, professional, warm and nurturing...... a combination that is very hard to find these days! Truly a special place to heal. read more
