SPORTS MEDICINE

"Cheryl has been my physical therapist since I was nine when the athletic trainer at my gym referred me to her. She has been a big part of my life in helping me get back to gymnastics after injury. She is great at problem-solving and has always communicated very closely with my coaches, which is critical for any athlete. She'll even come to see me work out at the gym - which has given her better understanding of what I need for my sport. She is a great therapist who makes therapy fun. Thanks, Cheryl."

Chellsie Memmel, US Olympic gymnast/world gymnastic champion

"Ankles, knees, shoulder, back. You name it, I've injured it. Cheryl always gets me back training and makes me laugh in the process. It's nice to have a PT who has worked with some of the world's best athletes - and to feel like I'm getting the same attention and skill as they get."

Charlie Dee, 61-year-old First Wave Birkebeiner Competitor

"I saw Cindy in 2005 to address recurring back problems.  I wanted to avoid surgery, I didn’t want more injections, and I needed to be strong to succeed on the court with my team. Cindy really helped me understand the biomechanics of my spine and immediately set me on a good course of treatment. With hands-on therapy and very specific exercises, I was able to return to living my life and coaching my team in the style I was accustomed to.  Since then, Cindy and her staff have served as consultants to my players, my family and my friends. I am heading into my third year since therapy and am doing great."

SCOLIOSIS

"Your progressive thinking and commitment has been our prayers answered. No matter the outcome, you allowed us choices where there seemed to be none."

The Hildenbrand family

"My therapist coached me, and is always is happy when I make an improvement. She is interested in what I have to say, and is always there for me. She is truly dedicated to what she does, and wants to help all of us suffering from scoliosis. I feel more empowered. I finally have a way that I can work to prevent surgery. I never was able to have that feeling. It was just, wear the brace and hope that it helps."

Rebecca Ruesch

"Our daughter, Megan, is in Schroth treatment. Every session has run on time. The receptionist is very professional with scheduling. We are very happy with the program and our therapists’ guidance and treatment. I would recommend this clinic to others."

The Briskies

"We felt your passion for your work. Everyone at Spinal Dynamics was committed to providing us with the most pleasant and productive experience possible."

Sara and Tzpoar Neumann, scoliosis family from Chicago

CHRONIC CASES

"Thank you for going above and beyond to help me achieve a better state of well-being. I am so appreciative that you were able to tackle my multitude of musculoskeletal problems and get me in better shape. I am grateful for the daily tools you gave me to help keep my symptoms at bay."

Christine Bartos, patient and physician

"I spent years struggling with chronic pain and resultant deterioration of physical fitness. When I was referred to Spinal Dynamics, I pretty much settled for a greatly reduced quality of life. Today, I have learned how to manage much more effectively on my own, and I have knowledge that my therapist is there to help me find new strategies if needed. Cindy has an extraordinary combination of excellent technical skill and empathy for her patients. She has been a gift to me and my life. Thank you so much for giving me hope and independence."

Karen Desotelle, patient

"Prior to Spinal Dynamics, I was convinced that I would have to live my life in chronic pain. My therapist not only provided me with consistent pain relief at each appointment, but invested her time into me to empower me with the tools I needed to move forward and rely on her less and less."

Karly Clunie, patient and registered nurse

PAST FAILED THERAPY

"I have suffered with increasing pain for over 10 years. After many doctor visits and many unsuccessful treatments, no one seemed to be able to help me. It wasn’t until my therapist from Spinal Dynamics worked with me that I was accurately evaluated and expertly treated. My therapist believed me.”

Allyson Dermot

"I can’t tell you how thankful I am for the PT you provided. I never thought I would get back to normal, especially after 10 years and a previous failed try with PT seven years ago. Your confidence in your treatment and advice helped me overcome my hopeless attitude about it. You’ve helped me improve my quality of life."

Kelly Jaeger

PELVIC FLOOR

"Thanks Linda for all you have done for me. It has helped so much and is so appreciated. You are great at what you do and I couldn’t be luckier to have you as my PT!”

Gregg R., pelvic floor patient

"I can,t tell you how thankful I am for the PT you provided. I never thought I would get back to normal after 10 years and no results with previous therapy experiences. Your confidence and your advice helped me overcome my hopeless attitude. You have helped me improve my quality of life and I am thankful.”

Female pelvic floor patient

POST-SURGICAL

"You have given Stephanie instruction and guided her from numbness and pain to allow her to live like a normal 18-year-old girl getting ready for college. In the words of our physician, “Cindy saved another one!”

The Zacker family

CUSTOMER SERVICE

"Heather is a gift ... she is so friendly and helpful ... she is a keeper."

Mary Yentz, patient

"Each of you play such an important role in what makes Spinal Dynamics so unique and special. From the moment I walk into the clinic and am greeted so warmly, to the relaxed ‘at home’ atmosphere you create, to the genuine concern and consideration you have shown for me, and of course for the extraordinary and compassionate care/treatment I have received . . . every visit truly has been a pleasant and healing experience."

Julie Gerber

TENACITY

"Thank you for your insight and skill in helping me with a big dilemma. I felt safe in your care and trusted your investigative skills to the “maximum.” It has made a difference and I thank you for your help."

Marli Moldenhauer

SPINE SPECIALISTS

"We have referred to Spinal Dynamics since 2003. We whole-heartedly supported Cindy Marti's decision to develop a spine-dedicated practice, as we belive that the complexity of spine patients requires special physical therapy expertise. Our patients return to us not only extremely satisfied with the service, but most often with excellent clinical outcomes. We utilize Spinal Dynamics as a resource prior to surgical decision-making and to help with differential clinical diagnoses when radiology findings are inconclusive. We are pleased to work collaboratively with these therapists to achieve optimal outcomes for challenging spine patients."

PAIN MANAGEMENT SPECIALISTS

"I have been referring patients for physical therapy to Spinal Dynamics for the past three years. I trust them for their expertise in managing difficult cases, especially in their ability to get good outcomes with patients who have failed elsewhere. Their experienced staff is very resourceful in managing problems beyond the capacities of many general practice PT clinics."

Hany Nosir, MD, interventional pain management specialist

"Physical therapy can be important to restore functionality once pain levels have been reduced. At Advanced Pain Managementl we treat a very large number of patients with a variety of spinal disorders, and have always preferred to utilize a physical therapy firm that shares our field of interest. We have expectations for a high degree of patient satisfaction, combined with favorable outcomes that consistently exceed the norm. I have had many patients treated unsuccessfully at other locations, both hospital-based and free-standing clinics. Many patients return to my office exclaiming the superb treatment and attention to detail they receive at Spinal Dynamics. They are a 'step above the ordinary.' The execeptional results obtained there are, undoubtedly, due to their well-trained and attentive staff. I believe that by focusing on one subset of the therapy market, their skill levels and outcomes improve. That is, after all, what the practice of medicine is all about."

Thomas E. Lass, MD, interventional pain management specialist

SPORTS MEDICINE

"I have worked with the spine specialists at Spinal Dynamics for the past five years and have been so impressed by their expertise in the field of spinal rehabilitation. I frequently refer my 'difficult' patients to this clinic when others have tried and failed. In this day of 'numbers crunching' medicine, it is so refreshing to have a group of dedicated medical professionals who still spend time with the patient and truly affect/change their lifes for the better. There is no PT group better for spine care in Southeastern Wisconsin."

Thomas S. Weber, MD, sports medicine physician

NEUROLOGY

"I learned about Spinal Dynamics as a patient, after referral from my orthopedic surgeon. I was impressed with their ability to establish a treatment plan that dramatically improved my symptoms and alleviated mulitple chronic complaints. Since then, I have referred mulitple patients to Spinal Dynamics. Their unique approach to treatment has resulted in many very satisfied patients, and their approach to Parkinson Disease is unlike any program I have used in the past. Their knowledge and positive attitude has improved the status of many people who have previously failed physical therapy, and restored independence to many debilitated patients."

Paul Nausieda, MD, neurologist
