I have been seeing Ilene as needed for a few years. After decades of computer use, my neck and shoulder were in near constant daily pain. Ilene has helped me improve, not just in physical therapy sessions but also in developing better body awareness so that I can head off pain before it begins. She is wonderful and caring and my shoulder and neck have dramatically improved.

Ilene has treated me twice; my neck a few years ago and my back this year. PT is different with Ilene - gentle, hands-on manipulations that ease the pain and instruction on how to do the same myself. She draws on traditional PT, Feldenkrais, Tai Chi, Trager method, and probably other practices to find the best approaches for one’s condition. I recommend her as an alternative to the typical “go over there and do these exercises, I’ll be back” PT approach.

I have been seeing Ilene for a frozen shoulder for about 4 weeks. Just checked in with my doctor. She was thrilled to see that I have regained full range of motion so quickly! Ilene is knowledgeable and gentle and I will definitely return to her for any future PT needs.

I saw Ilene for an chronic headaches I was having for months. After few treatments I got a noticeable relief which I didnot get from seeing other physical therapists , Chiropractors and even with medication. Her clinic was very quiet not like other physical therapy studios which are very noisy. She gave at home exercises which are very helpful also she doesn't push for more treatments like I experienced from other therapy studios. she is the best I am glad I found her.

I suffer with chronic back pain. I consulted with my niece who is a retired Director of PT. She did the research for me and referred me to Ileen Watrous. I have been going to her for the past few years and cannot say enough about how she has and is helping me to manage my pain. She focuses on the site of the pain as well as locating other areas where there are issues. When I leave her office I feel like a new person. Not only does she focus on the area of the pain, but she always has suggestions as to what foods/drinks to avoid or consume that may cause or relieve inflammation. She looks at total body health. Her office is pleasant and has a very calming/relaxing effect and her demeanor is the same. It is not noisy with a lot of distractions. I look forward to my sessions and highly recommend her.

Recently I started seeing a physical therapist for an achy shoulder. I had been living with discomfort for many months and it started infringing upon my lifestyle and my range of motion (I am a tennis player and generally quite active). A friend had mentioned she had a similar problem with her shoulder and after being treated by Ilene Watrous at Watrous Physical Therapy she was pain free. So, I made my appointment to see if I could find some relief. I was very concerned that the shoulder pain was taking its toll on my lifestyle.It has now been three weeks and 9 treatments later and I am happy to report that the hands-on manual physical therapy administered by Ilene Watrous has provided me with sustainable relief. After each session the amount of discomfort lessened. Now I can look forward to resuming my activities. Ilene taught me exercises and positions that can alleviate a reoccurrence of the injury. I can’t thank her enough!
