    “Your search for a PT ends with Margarita! I had been seeing various practitioners after the birth of my third daughter but was still having some lingering symptoms. Margarita's approach is completely different from any other provider I've seen. So often in postpartum care I think your care is generalized but Margarita takes her time to holistically identify what your individual, specific issues are before designing a care plan. Within one visit I noticed an improvement in some of my more persistent issues, and she's designed a fitness program tailored to my individual recovery. I cannot say enough good things about Margarita and her approach in making women feel strong and healthy after birth.”

  • ELAINE U.

    “I had a very positive experience during my pregnancy and postpartum period dealing specifically with hip issues and hyper mobility. Divya always made time to answer all of my questions, gave very clear instructions on how to do exercises at home and alternatives if things were too easy or too challenging. I completely recovered from all the pain and limited mobility issues I had, and can't recommend synergy enough. They were great at providing me a super bill to submit for reimbursement with my insurance.”

  • SINEAD O.

    “I’ve had a great experience with Margarita! She spent a lot of time diagnosing imbalances that I’ve had for years that were exacerbated during pregnancy. I worked with her initially while pregnant and then postpartum to get back to running pain free. Margarita was also very flexible about scheduling around my childcare and work, and was able to give me exercises to do at home on my own time to supplement our sessions. I would highly recommend!”

  • PIETRA G.

    “I had my first session with Margarita when I was pregnant and from the beginning she was very attentive. When I returned to take care of my body during postpartum, in addition to being technically very competent, she is very empathetic and explains everything that will be developed in the session very well. I strongly recommend.”
