Dear Ceci, I just want to thank you so very much for your expert care of my particular neck and lower spine issues. Your knowledge of the mechanics of the human body is truly remarkable. I can personally testify to being able to walk out of your office pain-free after being in extreme pain walking in. Barely able to walk!
Your very happy patient,

Ceci was indispensable to my recovery from a severe fracture of my upper arm which required months of limited mobility before I was released into her capable hands for PT. She is focused in her work, and use a wide range of modalities to help me regain strength and mobility. She has a gifted touch with manual therapy, and was able to give me relief from my pain at each session. I have a background in yoga so having a trained yoga therapist work on me who had an in- depth understanding of physiology and energy movement provided an added level of support. My surgeon told me that I have achieved the greatest recovery in range of motion for the severity of my injury that she has ever seen. I attribute much of this to my work with Ceci.

I have been working with Cecilia Lester specifically on issues of PTSD following RTKR in 2016. Ms. Lester has utilized a wide range of modalities from her professional toolbox to help me, especially her training in yoga therapy .Following the RTKR when under the care of traditional Western PT practitioners, methods were used that involved forcing my knee to bend. This resulted in my first ever experience with panic attacks. Ms. Lester utilized an integration of the Eastern methods of yoga therapy and other techniques with Western PT methods. I am now pain free, have had no panic attacks in two years, and can navigate stairs and do other movements that require me to bend my knee much farther than when I first came to Ms. Lester’s care. I recommend this outstanding practitioner of integrative therapy methods without reservation.
