Blue Crane Physical Therapy & Yoga

I saw Michelle Walendowski after a fall and significant injury to my ribs and lower lumbar. I was nearly disabled and experiencing tingling in the feet from it. Michelle worked with me via telehealth during the COVID pandemic and re-habbed me entirely. We worked together virtually for 8 months by video and she tailored my program by making me custom videos to follow her when we were out of session. The blend of yoga technique and PT was totally in line with what I needed and wanted given I was a former Yoga enthusiast. She also was able to see how I slept (bed I was using), how my at-home office was set up (how I was typing) and how I was doing exercise to ensure I was not re-injuring myself. She also was able to chart all of my daily activity and review my MRI and physician notes to coordinate my care. She provided excellent clinical knowledge. I would refer her out to anyone needing help with an injury! I am so grateful to have my mobility back - as a very busy executive in hi-tech and venture capital - she was able to accommodate my busy schedule and life style as a practitioner.

Michelle has been a miracle worker for me. I was experiencing pain in my knee whenever I walked up stairs and I had to limit my hiking routine. After working with Michelle for just a few sessions the pain was greatly diminished and I was able to do my normal hikes, and now as I continue to follow her guidance I am almost back to normal. Unlike the knee specialist and the first physical therapist I saw, Michelle asked detailed questions and really listened to my answers. Her probes made me remember issues that I'd never connected to my pain, and then she spent time on her own researching those issues. She gave me specific exercises that built on my existing yoga practice, which made it easy for me to follow the routine consistently. With each visit she adjusted the exercises to keep challenging me as I got stronger. I wasn't sure how well all this would work over video but it wasn't a problem -- I just adjusted the camera as I did the exercises and she was able to figure out how to guide me. Michelle clearly knows what she's doing and she genuinely cares about helping people live without pain -- what more could you ask for?
