Laura Mannering Physical Therapy

I saw Dr. Mannering for severe back issues and nerve pain due to a herniated disc. After only two sessions, she had me moving much more fluidly and with far less pain. After a three more sessions over several weeks, I was almost back to normal activity level. She also worked with me how to prevent future issues and how to mitigate when the pain started to come back. I highly recommend working with her for back/disc related pain and mobility issues.

Laura Mannering supported me to recover from a back injury. Even better, she taught me skills to prevent re-injury going forward, allowing me to fully return to my activities with the confidence that I will be able to nip problems in the bud. She encouraged me to put in time and money towards my health- efficiently. For example, she discouraged spending money on an expensive office chair that won't provide better lumbar support than a pillow or a rolled up sweater. Highly recommend.

I recently visited Laura Mannering in connection with a lumbar herniated disc. I had also done traditional PT before visiting her, which got me moving again but which I doubted was addressing my actual underlying issue (I work out regularly and have reasonably good core and hip strength, which traditional PT focused on). Instead of focusing on purely muscular work, Laura encouraged me to think differently about the issue and to focus on my spinal movement and mobility. This approach made a lot of sense to me - my sitting at a desk, slouching on the couch, and repeated forward-movement seemed like the more likely culprit. Laura had me work on extension movements for my spine, which helped it to move the way it should with a full range of motion. Laura was encouraging, and wonderful to work

Laura Mannering is amazing. After years of physical therapy I was used to how I thought it works. Her technique is completely different and 100 times more effective. I couldn't move my neck and her interventions got me moving again quickly and gave me a way to work preemptively. Her bed side manner is top notch understanding and kind. I recommend her services. Not all PT is the same.

I had an excellent experience with Laura Mannering. She was always patient and professional, and her depth of knowledge is truly impressive. You can really see her passion for what she does and she even took the time to educate me about all areas of health and wellness in addition to the back injury that I was seeing her for.
