Dynamic Changes Physical Therapy

As both a practitioner and as a person, Giorgia is absolutely *incredible*!
Without going too deep into the personal details, let’s just say I had a great deal of pelvic pain after the birth of my son. I saw Giorgia a year and a half after his birth (it’s never too late!), and after two sessions, I experienced about a 95% reduction in my pain. Yeah. I had my third session today, and we are already moving on to addressing old ankle injuries etc. I’m so excited!
With those kind of results I would have been willing to do almost anything (seriously, I would have sat in icewater for an hour for those results), but as a bonus, the sessions with Giorgia are actually very pleasant! She has worked with me fully clothed each session, working with nerve points all over the body that, for me, produce a pleasant feeling of release. It’s intimate (like a massage or energy work), but not uncomfortable (like a gynecological exam). And she is so kind, funny, and humble — she puts you right at ease!
Before going to Giorgia, I had tried another pelvic PT in Berkeley who also had great reviews. She was also very nice, but the experience was completely different (the focus was almost entirely on my pelvic region … felt like a painful gynecological exam). She had me do some kegels and typical pelvic/​trunk strengthening exercises. I stopped going after a couple sessions because it felt like it was making my pain slightly worse, not better. Not so with Giorgia!
She also makes a real effort to explain everything in a way that you will understand. Her model of the body and way of working with it is different from any other PT I have encountered … Her approach seems more comprehensive /​complex /​real than others I have seen.
I don’t normally write reviews, but this experience was so amazing, I had to. Anyone with pelvic pain (or really, just anyone!) should try it out. With Giorgia I have trust that I will fully heal, which is not something I even thought was possible. Thank you so much, Giorgia!

Where do I even start with this fabulous woman! My doctor gave me a referral for physical therapy to address stress incontinence (something many of us women don’t want to talk about but many of us have this issue!) vs. surgery… well her expertise and magical hands has done wonders! My doctor said women tend to like Giorgia because she takes a more «whole body» approach vs. traditional PT for this issue.
Giorgia is one of the most compassionate and gifted PT’s I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. She is committed to you 150%.you feel like she is your best girlfriend trying to help you out. She never rushes your time with her and ensures your session is everything it should be to «move forward». Some sessions you walk out feeling like you had an amazing massage as she is very gifted in the strain/​counter-​strain technique for all fascia systems of the body as another reviewer mentioned. It’s amazing! As a result of my treatments my posture has even improved!
I can’t recommend Giorgia enough! You deserve to have your body back and Giorgia is the answer to this!

My doctor referred me to Giorgia for physical therapy to address some pelvic floor deficiencies I was experiencing. I was very grateful for a non-​surgical option. Giorgia’s hands-​on, customized approach worked wonders for me. Aside from her excellent PT skills, she is warm, compassionate and committed to her patients.
But beyond her expertise in this area, I discovered that she is trained in a strain/​counter-​strain technique (Jones Institute) for all fascia systems in the body. This technique has had amazing results on my chronic pain issues. For me, this approach has been much more effective and gentle than getting a message. And since she is a PT, she has vast knowledge of body musculature/​ligaments, making this a much more viable approach.
Due to a new healthcare law, it is possible to self-​refer to PTs. Plus, my medical insurance provides coverage for this treatment.
Whether you are in need of pelvic floor therapy or pain management due to stress and overwork, Giorgia is an answer to getting your body back in balance.

I have seen Giorgia in the last month and find her the most compassionate and gifted physical therapist. She takes the time to listen to the patient and great care with her treatment plan. I am a Healthcare provider and it is rare to come across someone who takes such care for patients. She has helped me a great deal and I highly recommend her!

I had a problem with a lot of pain in my pelvic area and I was referred to Giorgia. She is a God-​send. Not only does she help with the pelvic pain but she goes out of her way to make you feel comfortable and even helps me with general pains in my body. She is always available for me whenever I have any questions. She also encourages me to supplement our sessions with sessions at home in order to make me heal quicker, which I appreciated very much. Thanks to Giorgia, I now see my body in a totally different light. I highly recommend her!

Giorgia receives an A+ for being an EXCELLENT physical therapist. She is truly an EXPERT in her field. Giorgia has «healing hands» and I look forward to each visit. I am forever grateful to her and would highly recommend her. She is simply the BEST! Thanks Giorgia!

I had seen Giorgia last year for some pelvic issues I was having. I was ready to have surgery but was referred to her by my doctor. Almost immediately, I saw relief from my symptoms and very soon, had complete resolution. Giorgia is such a great listener, very gentle and I would VERY HIGHLY recommend her to anyone. She seriously saved me from under going the knife!
I am again seeing her for an issue and literally within my first two appointments am feeling much better. She is my go to Physical Therapist!!!

I’ve had a prolonged problem causing unbearable pain. Giorgia patiently identified where the problem was and she solved it with grace. My first impression? wow! what a perfectionist. I then noticed how she loves to help people in everyway she can. She’s an amazing professional. Thank you Giorgia for practically saving me.

I was referred to Giorgia by my midwives after giving birth to my second baby. She is an amazing physical therapist who is very attentive and listens to the concerns a woman may have after delivering a baby. I had a very long labor and delivered a large (9+ lbs) baby and it left me with some weakness and nerve issues. I saw her for a few sessions and she immediately gave me some exercises to help alleviate the issues. What I like most about her is that she doesn’t pressure you to keep coming every week to see her; once she’s seen you for a few sessions, if she feels that you can continue to progress at home, she will tell you so and save you money. Of course, if you want to keep coming to see her for additional sessions, she’s very friendly and open to that as well. Very knowledgable, very sweet, I highly recommend her, ESPECIALLY for post-​partum women!

Every so once in awhile, you come across someone very special and wonderfully talented. Giorgi at Dynamic Changes is one of those people. I have seen her for several long term problems no one else could figure out. She has an amazing understanding of how the body works and how to free it up. I highly recommend her.
