Southwest Physical Therapy PC

A miracle-worker is what Aracelli is with her healing hands! Myofascial Release Therapy at Southwest Physical Therapy in Brooklyn is what's up! Can't miss it if you REALLY wanna heal!

Aracelli will find the root cause of where your pain is coming from and work with you to help release it, actually healing the pain. She's a wonderful person too.

After giving up hope for years. I got injured doing cross fit in 2014, I was doing snatches. I injured my back, then a few months later, I injured my neck doing handstand push ups from a box, I fell on my head. Southwest Healing literally is healing me. If you are in any kind of pain right now, you should go to Southwest Healing and ask for Araceli.

I tried physical therapy and I tried the gym but I gave up because I didn't feel like old me. So I just lost hope that I could ever do cross fit again. Until I met Southwest Healing in Parkslope, BK. Since then, I have hope again. I can finally rotate my arms behind my back after I couldn't in 6 years. Araceli literally is a miracle worker. Go to her, she'll give you a miracle. I feel so much improvement after every session.

Aracelli is the best! My back never felt so good! I had a gym accident when I was in high school, I am now 35 years old and finally feeling good.

Aracelli Gonzales has a magic touch. She feels my pain and knows where to look for the source of the pain. You have to be patient, as with MFR you don't get the heavy pressure you expect with traditional massage. Initially it feels like there is no effect, but after my third treatment I felt that finally what seemed like a solid wooden set of muscles started getting a range of motion. Any other massage lasted for a day for me, but this treatment felt more lasting and gives me hope that my problem could be solved for good.

Southwest Physical Therapy completely changed my life! I lived with severe, chronic back pain from 2009 to 2013. These years were difficult, and I had given up hope that my body would ever feel normal again. After a few sessions with Michael and Aracelli I experienced the first relief from this pain in years. As we continued for several months, I experienced a complete reversal in my body.

I still have occasional discomfort, but this is not even close to the debilitating pain I once experienced every single day. Michael and Aracelli also provide ongoing support by suggesting therapies that work at home. Even when I do not receive treatment from Southwest, they have taught me restorative poses, and how to use props at home to reduce my pain.

I would recommend this therapy for anyone wishing to relieve pain anywhere in their body. Not only are they exceptionally talented physical therapists, but they are also very warm and kind people that care about your feeling better.

This is the place! For years I tried all forms of therapy for my mayofacial pain and finally I found Aracell and Michael who know exactly the therapy my body needs. It's like being given back the gift of life Without their therapy I would have never been able to enjoy my recent tour of Italy. My muscles were so tight that just walking was painful. I continue my therapy and have definitely made the body/mind connection. Thank you Aracell and Michael.

I went to SWPT on the recommendation of a friend. When Aracelli first started working on me I was very skeptical. I wasn't familiar with myofascial release therapy and when I was told to initially come several times a week, I wondered how necessary that really was. Since I trusted my friend, I did go regularly for several weeks. One morning I woke up and for the first time in at least ten years, I was without pain (I suffer from fibromyalgia, scoliosis and spinal arthritis).

As you can imagine, I was thrilled! I have continued to go as maitenance and to avoid flare-ups. Take the time to learn about this therapy and trust in the healing hands of Aracelli and Michael. Believe me, you won't regret it. NOTHING compares to the relief I get after a session with Aracelli!

When I showed up for my first appointment at Southwest Physical Therapy, I was in so much pain I could barely walk. I had a herniated disc with constant shooting pain down my leg from the sciatic nerve. I had already been to countless PT, chiropractor and doctor appointments in Manhattan where I felt like I was pretty much run through a factory. None of those visits helped with the pain. Southwest was an entirely different experience.

I have never had this kind of care. Michael and Aracelli addressed the problem immediately, and gave me great advice on how to deal with chronic pain on both a physical and mental level. They are fantastic: I went from being in pain 24 hours a day for three months to living virtually pain free. Their techniques are a bit outside the box, but that's exactly why it works. For me it was a leap of faith that absolutely paid off. I can't recommend them highly enough.

After a lower back injury 2 years ago, my body began to spiral out of control. Running from Dr to Dr just exasperated the anxiety & pain. A Physical Therapist I know suggested I give SWPT a shot. It was an incredible experience that helped me heal. The muscle spasms & pain began to release & so did the anxiety & fear. They gave me the knowledge & tools to continue to be pain free. Aracelli & Michael are incredibly talented therapists.

They focus on the entire body & the mind body connection. They have extensive knowledge of the muscles & the emotional connection to each of them. They are passionate about their work and sharing their knowledge. I am grateful to Aracelli & Michael. It was a great experience. I think everyone can benefit from Myofacial Release therapy at SWPT.
