I loved working with Dr. Samantha Antonietti during the last few weeks of my pregnancy. I was having significant pelvic pain and Sam really helped me. From our very first appointment I felt heard and seen. She made me feel extremely comfortable. I plan on returning to her now that I am post partum to help during my recovery. I can't recommend her enough!

Sam was excellent! She helped me heal quickly and gave great advice that I will follow for years to come. She offered extremely detailed answers to all of my questions and helped me achieve my goals in fewer sessions than initially prescribed. She always gave me time to do home PT and didn't push me to schedule more sessions than necessary or take medications too soon. Thank you for working your magic, Sam!

I can't praise Sam and Core Dynamics enough! I was having significant post-partum pain and Sam helped me so much in such a short amount of time both physically and mentally. Unlike my Gyno (who told me I should feel completely better 6 weeks after birth), Sams favorite thing to say is that "it takes 9 months to make a baby, so it should take at least 9 months to recover from it" and just hearing that at each appointment made me feel so much better about how long it was taking me to recover. Sam also helped me learn the tools I needed to do PT at home and didn't string me along or make me come to more appointments than were absolutely necessary. Even though they don't accept insurance (so it was definitely more than I have ever spent on PT) it was 100% worth it! She was absolutely incredible and I am so happy to have found her!!

Core Dynamics is an amazing place if you need pelvic floor PT. I had pelvic organ prolapse and my Dr recommended I complete some therapy to see if my issues would resolve. I was lucky to have been able to work with Dr Samantha Antonetti! She is extremely knowledgeable, kind and truly concerned about your well being. I worked with her for four months and was a blessing since I ended up needing prolapse surgery. My recovery was greatly enhanced by my treatment and followed up after surgery to make sure there were no post op issues. Samantha gave me all the time I needed to get back on my feet! I still do the exercises she gave me and would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs pelvic floor therapy. Thank you!❤️

Had a wonderful experience with Niva during the last trimester of my pregnancy. Her PT massages and exercises greatly alleviated my pelvic and hip discomfort/pain. She was very knowledgeable and gave me lots of helpful tips. Would highly recommend.

I highly recommend Niva's services. Her knowledge of the body combined with her listening skills is first rate. I was referred to her by my Dr during the COVID-19 shutdown and she set up a virtual appointment and talked to me the same day as the referral. The questions she asked to reach a diagnosis were pointed and detailed and really showed her knowledge of the subject matter. She came up with a treatment plan and demonstrated exercises to me and made sure I was doing them correctly all over video chat and I am now pain free. I couldn't recommend Niva highly enough!

I came to work with Niva after being referred to her by my doctor. The office is easy to find, staff is polite and kind, and Niva was great to work with. Extremely professional and made the type of therapy I was receiving much easier to navigate!

I had an appointment last January,2019;I had been recommended by a former therapist.I suffer from from chronic pelvic hypertonia.I had not used stairs for months.I arrived on the rainy day and decided not to walk up the inclined driveway so I went in the back door.I looked for an elevator;there wasn't one so I climbed 26 steps to the tiny office.I was in excruciating pain.They provided no moist heat in addition to limited space and No elevator. After this incident my severe pain continued. I went to another therapist, and the incident resulted in awful coccyx pain. How can a pelvic therapy place exist with NO elevator!!!!

I highly recommend Niva and Core Dynamics. After months of thinking I’d never feel normal again, my doctor recommended seeing Niva and I am now 100%. Niva is very understanding, sympathetic, and knowledgeable. She made sure I understood everything and had the proper knowledge to prevent future problems after completion of treatment.

I received treatment from Rebecca and I must say that words will never express my gratitude for her and her help. I walked in that office for the first time thinking that I would never get better and ended my treatment a completely different person. She uplifted my spirits and her treatment method was simple and effective. She is friendly and listens to your concerns and needs. I would give her more stars if I could. Would I recommend her? Yes! Yes! Yes!

Thanks for the extremely professional and helpful physical therapy. Niva Herzig was sympathetic and super knowledgeable.. After starting therapy at Core Dynamics I was initially skeptical that I would receive dramatic relief from my Pelvic muscle spasms. I was pleasantly surprised. After the first session I had immediate improvement and after a course of 5 weekly visits I am now symptom free. Very highly recommended .

Core Dynamic was highly recommended by my general practitioner as well as my chiropractor; however, I didn’t actually go in until I had severe SI joint pain to the point I could barely walk or carry anything during my third pregnancy. Niva Herzig was such a joy to work with and I especially appreciated that Core Dynamics is child friendly so I was able to bring my two toddlers along. I felt much better after my first assessment and PT work with Niva, but I also was given exercises to do at home. It took about 1 month of working with Niva where I was 100% back to normal. During that month, she continued to give me new exercises to add as I became stronger and the pain lessened. She walked me through which pain was ok to push through which encouraged safe movement as my body continued to heal. Most importantly, she also knew how to work safely with someone who is pregnant.Maybe my favorite part was when she “fired” me as a client because I was healed! I was actually sad to say goodbye not only because she helped me get to the root of my issues and resolve my weaknesses so quickly, but because it was so much fun to work with her.
