After almost two decades of chronic pain in my lower back and hips, I was becoming frustrated by decreasing mobility issues. It was affecting my mental health and physical well-being as well as my personal and professional life. I went to CJ physical therapy as a last ditch attempt to gain some answers about my about what was happening. The staff listened carefully, not only tending to the physical ailments but also addressing the emotional strain that the injury had caused. A year on, I am not experiencing pain anymore, and I have the understanding and the tools to keep my body healthy and active. I didn't think it was possible to live without pain. With the guidance of CJ physical Therapy I have a new lease on life. It's really quite profound. I have also been attending pilates, which I find to be a wonderful weekly experience that's keeping me healthy, building on what I'm working on during physical therapy. All of the attention and care that I've experienced is quite unique in the healthcare system. It took an investment of time and money but I have no regrets about putting my health first because I felt very supported by the knowledge and experience of both the medical and administrative staff.

I was referred to CJ Physical Therapy & Pilates by my primary care physician. I was experiencing excruciating sciatica pain in the midst of training for a triathlon and my hopes of feeling better and getting to the starting line were looking real slim.
I met with Dr. Holly and she was fabulous! She asked about my pain, goals and history, and started to help put a plan of action in place. She is empathetic and super knowledgeable and right after my first visit, I had significant results.
We continued to follow the plan of attack of at home stretches and 1x per week PT sessions. I can say that not only did my sciatica pain go away, I completed the triathlon only a few weeks later!!
I truly felt heard and that the entire team was dedicated to my overall health and success from Dr. Carrie, Dr. Holly :), and Dr. Jill, and their super friendly and helpful front office staff!
Another major benefit was the Shockwave Therapy I had. I had many years of cancer treatment and injections to my abdomen that built up scar tissue and made it tough to lose anything around my mid section. After a few sessions, I am very excited that I have lost 3" off my waistline and counting!
Such a great experience with great results and I'm now looking forward to shifting to their Pilates!

I can’t say enough about Jill and CJ Physical Therapy.
I have a chronic bulging lower disc a right leg sciatica problem.
When I started I was in pain and my movement was severely limited.
With their different individually targeted treatment plans - I saw relief in a few sessions and after 8, I am pain free.
Thank you Jill and the whole team!

I am only a few sessions into my treatment at CJ Physical Therapy and Pilates and I am already seeing dramatic improvement in my symptoms. The treatment plan is very individualized and my sessions are a solid hour with the therapist (not shared). I'm looking forward to advancing to the point where I can also enjoy the Pilates classes offered. Highly recommend this group!!!

I pain free! Jill and Holly have done miracles for my hip and knees. I have suffered from pain in my hip for years and weakness in my thigh. I have seen several physical therapists over the years and no one until now has diagnosed my issue and given me the tools to keep me pain free! I highly recommend them. Thank you so much CJ Physical Therapy!!!

I had been reading Dr. Carrie‘s articles in the local paper with great interest before I attended one of her informational „Master Classes“ in her Portsmouth facility. The evening focused on back issues. I had been suffering from increasing lower backpain and sciatica for two years. After seeing an orthopedist, following the standard PT and receiving a couple of cortisone shots, my pain had not gotten much better. I could still only walk a short period of time. Dr. Carrie’s Master Class was convincing enough that I signed up for sessions with one of her PT Specialists. Although, I was initially very sceptical, Dr. Jill’s incredible knowledge convinced me that there are alternatives to cortisone shots. After following her instructions, I can now walk for hours without pain. Dr. Jill is very approachable and I felt comfortable to ask her advice on my knee and shoulder issues. Rather than focusing on only one problem at a time, her approach is holistic and she gave me the tools to ease pain in other parts of my body. She is truly an open-ended and comprehensive resource and I’m looking forward to take up Pilates classes at the studio.

I have had issues with my knees for a long time & was invited to attend Dr. Carrie’s masterclass session on knee pain. So glad I did! I’ve been working with Dr. Jill & Dr. Holly recently & my knee pain is almost nonexistent. Along with shock therapy treatments & specific exercises to continue to strengthen my muscles have made all the difference. Extremely pleased to have joined the CJ Physical Therapy family!

I have worked with Dr. Holly for the past six months for shoulder and neck issues. The exercises she has given me have totally removed my pain and I am back doing everything I want to do! In addition, I now have the tools and experience to be proactive to prevent future injuries. Dr. Holly is a great listener, and is so flexible in working out a program that fits your lifestyle. I cannot recommend her highly enough - I have greatly benefitted under her care!

I have been working with Dr. Holly for a few months relative to an old injury and ongoing neck issues. I wanted someone who was familiar with the McKenzie method as I had heard that could be the key to helping me. Holly exceeded my expectations and has made such a difference in my daily life and how I feel. She has given me tools to use to help keep away the neck tension which eventually would give way to significant headaches. I am so grateful to her and CJ PT & Pilates.

I have been taking Pilates classes for over a year. The staff are extremely knowledgeable and really care about your progress. The classes are small, so participants receive the attention that is missing in other larger clinics. I have gained core strength and my over all flexibility has greatly improved. I highly recommend them! (Thank you, Leslie!)

After dealing with my husband who has had 30 back surgeries and myself who have had 5, our life with physical therapy has been a challenging one. However, after meeting Carrie and her team, we finally found a glimpse of hope. Carrie and her team helped us have less pain, gave us hope for a painless future and truly changed our lives. We would highly recommend CJPT to anyone who needs help with any kind of pain or wants to improve their quality of life! The staff are also amazing... always willing to help and so friendly!

I have worked with Carrie and the team at CJ Physical Therapy and Pilates for the past 7 months as I work to rehab two replaced hips. The team is professional, easy to work with and have allowed me to achieve great results in a short period of time. I would strongly recommend CJ PT & Pilates to anyone.
