I went to Lizanne because of Vulvodynia, chronic pain and swelling that I had for over 10 years. Lizanne worked so methodically, meticulously, and in a very holistic way with the pain patterns in my pelvic floor muscles. I have made incredible progress working with her and after less than a year of working with her am THRILLED to be nearly pain free.

After being bounced around from Internal Medicine Doctors, Rheumatologists and Physical Therapists I was finally referred to Lizanne Pastore for chronic hip, pelvic and coccyx pain. Pelvic Floor Dysfunction was diagnosed after lots of communication, a thorough exam and many tests including bio feedback. Recovery was attained through pressure point massage, stretching and education. I was able to avoid surgery and internal injections. Lizanne has a lovely way of making uncomfortable situations very approachable. I have been under her treatment for over a year and have recommended her to many friends and physicians. She has educated me on how to maintain this healthy lifestyle resulting in pain free hips for several months.

It is my great pleasure to tell you what a true healer Lizanne Pastore is! She is kind, gentle and caring as well as being an expert in her field. My condition was greatly improved as a result of her work with me. I would highly recommend her for any problem that requires a Physical Therapist!

I have been an adrenaline-athlete my entire life. Hence, I have had many injuries requiring the care of many health care professionals from a multitude of specialties and skill-sets. Some injuries are very straight forward. A broken bone requires a cast, immobilization, rest, and then POOF! Good as new. Chronic Pelvic Pain has no straight forward, quick fix. There is no, “take two aspirin and you’ll be fine tomorrow.” This condition requires a healer that is not only well trained in the most current treatments but is also willing to think outside the box as well as treating every patient’s needs individually. Lizanne is by far one of the most knowledgeable, intuitive, well rounded health care professionals I have ever met, and I have met quite a few. I am far from being fixed but I am certain that my care is in the hands of the most qualified person for the job. Lizanne is a highly skilled healer with a kind, gentle persona.

I have been working with Lizanne for almost 15 years, starting with her
hands-on help with the full recovery of the use of my left arm after breast
cancer surgery. In addition, I have congenital hip dysplasia, which has led
to multiple operations, including two hip replacements and one knee
replacement. Along the way, I have benefited from Lizanne's skill in
releasing tissues that are too tight to stretch on my own and her training
in a wide variety of physical systems. She has gone deeper than any other
therapist I have met in my long life of recovery from surgery. I trust her
with my body - and recommend her heartfelt, and intelligent way to anyone in any kind of pain.

As a patient and physical therapist myself, I cannot recommend
Lizanne's work enough. She is both competent and kind, and her treatments make a real and immediate difference in my life.
