Martha is a special person with exceptional skills. She combines her conventional Physical Therapy with Cranio Sacral Therapy (holistic hands-on treatment) and other therapeutic tools, to provide a unique, powerfully effective treatment and healing experience. I highly recommend her to those who have tried conventional therapy and need new techniques and perspectives to facilitate healing. She really helped me.

Martha was unbelievable. She was patient with me ( hard to do!) , and walked me through the entire process. My scar, which was quite substantial, has basically disappeared in under 3 months. In addition , the therapy she provided was on point and help speed up my recoveryAnd Martha always followed up to see how I was doing.Highly recommended 5 Stars plus……

When I started with Custom Fit, I had multiple physical issues as well as emotional due to the chronic pain. I had attempted traditional treatments to no avail as they utilized a "cookie-cutter" approach. The same approach just does not work on everyone. Custom Fit treats the whole person with a very hands on approach. They identified issues that were impacting healing on other parts of my body that were not identified previously. One is sent videos of the exercises that you are to do versus being handed a piece of paper. The videos are incredibly helpful in making certain that you are doing your exercises correctly. I no longer am suffering with the chronic pain that I had for over a year and am gaining strength back that I had lost. Custom Fit is professional, knowledgeable and compassionate. I will continue to utilize their services as needed and I VERY highly recommend them. If I could give more than five stars, I certainly would.

What a great experience I had with Martha at Custom Fit Physical Therapy. I am competitive athletic that had a serious neck and shoulder injury. Martha was instrumental in getting me back to full strength and beyond. She taught me breathing techniques and mobility exercises that greatly improved my performance. Thanks to her, I’ll be back in training in this week!

Martha is an amazing well trained physical therapist and a naturally gifted healer. She listens to her patients but assesses the whole body because she is keenly aware of how every bone and muscle interact and thus affect each other. I wish all health care professionals were like her. So glad we crossed paths after I had worked with several other traditional PTs. This has changed my life.

I wanted to share how wonderful my experience with Martha has been since meeting her last November...first of all, she is not just your everyday Physical Therapist...she is so talented in her approach and her care for each person's unique situation that she is on an entirely different level. I believe it is the best PT you will find anywhere I promise you-I was suffering from lower back pain for the last 10 or so years, and nothing I ever did would help relieve the pain- everyone I spoke with or saw would always concentrate on the usual suspects (muscles/tendons/spine/etc..) , however Martha was different in she took a completely different approach, and am I glad she did as I have been feeling the best I have in quite some time! So, I had multiple abdominal surgeries as a child and have quite few "old school" scars (long before laparoscopy surgery was a thing) . After just a couple of sessions, Martha told me that all this lower back pain was most likely coming from my old scars believe it or not, so we started therapy really focused on that. She is extremely proficient in using this device that really targets scars/scar tissue release/muscles/etc called Dolphin Neurostim OTC - its kind of like a TENS device but way better as it gives these high pitched sounds until it locates the exact spot that needs the most attention, then targets that spot! Quite incredible and I really think this was the beginning of my healing. It has released most of the hard scar tissue that was literally pulling me out of alignment for all these years, causing pain. I can't say enough nice things about Martha- If you need any type of Physical Therapy for anything, please don't hesitate to call Martha- she will help you, I am so thankful I found her:)

I went to Martha for physical therapy after I broke my shoulder. She is an excellent therapist and helped me regain a lot of movement. I liked how I was her only client for an hour and had her full attention. She is kind, compassionate and has a wonderful sense of humor. I actually enjoyed going to physical therapy with her and looked forward to our sessions. I recommend her highly.

Working with Martha has been transformational! Not only does she perform wonders as a physical therapist, she makes sure her patients have the tools, including exercises to work on strengthening, breathing and videos to help me perform these healing and strengthening exercises at home. I have learned so much and am able to move in a way that I haven't been able to move in a long time. Thank you Martha!!!

If I could give 10 stars to Martha Tassinari I gladly would!!! Martha is extremely knowledgeable, professional, welcoming, and compassionate. I definitely feel supported and listened to when I come into her practice. Martha takes her time with the physical therapy to make sure I leave in a better way than I came in. I can say most definitely that my experience with Custom Fit Physical Therapy has been a wonderful experience and I am doing so much better physically.

Martha is amazing! I have had a lot of injuries and done a LOT of bodywork with some very talented practitioners, but she was able to resolve problems that no one else ever had. Her approach addresses the underlying, systemic issues, and I found that several problems I'd assumed were unrelated actually tracked back to the same sources - and Martha fixed those and has helped me to develop a simple home routine that keeps them fixed. I haven't felt this aligned and pain-free in years. I am so glad I followed the recommendations of several friends who had the same experience with Martha's expertise. An additional benefit - she is just a delightful person to work with!

I was referred to Martha from another PT who was unable to help me with my shoulder/upper back issue after 20+ sessions. Martha has a very different approach to PT. She initially did a free 1/2 hour (actually longer) discovery visit to "discover" if you thought she could help me. She listened to my concerns and developed an individual plan of treatment for me. After 2 visits, my pain and range of motion was at least 60% better. She also gave me a personal home exercise program with videos of how to do my exercises correctly and not your typical generic printed home exercise program. Martha is a kind, genuine, caring, and gifted person and I am so grateful that our paths crossed.

Martha has been instrumental in improving my health and well being. I'm a Physical Therapist who has also had some experience with Craniosacral Therapy but am new to NKT. I've always been active but have hip and knee pain that is markedly improved in just a few sessions. I've also experienced improvement in walking and functional mobility. She combines techniques to achieve optimal function. Martha is thorough, compassionate, thoughtful and professional and her warm approach is a plus. I never feel rushed and she makes me feel confident that I will continue to progress in a positive direction. I would highly recommend seeing Martha if you are experiencing any sort of pain or dysfunction. I'd give her 10 stars if I could!

Martha is a uniquely caring therapist. Her investment in my care was very personal. I felt very comfortable and at ease with what she recommended. My recovery was more timely due to her special care. I highly recommend her. If I need care again, I will certainly return to her capable hands!

Martha is above and beyond the best P.T. I have ever worked with and unfortunately I have worked with many over the years.She has helped so much with my back pain and her videos and instructions are so helpful.

Martha is not the kind of physical therapist one typically associates with how a physical therapist practices. Her practice encompasses far above and beyond the standard physical therapy. Martha's holistic approach, knowledge base, specialization in scars and additional certifications such a cranial sacral therapy make her an exceptional and phenomenal therapist standing out from others in her field. She takes the time in her assessment and evaluation process to determine the root cause of your complaints and does not focus on just your symptoms. I had major abdominal surgery and breast surgery within a 6 month time frame. It never occurred to me that my abdominal scars would have caused so much havoc in back and neck pain and core stability. It has been such an educational as well as healing process. Martha really helped me understand what was going on with my body given the changes I had experienced. The cranial sacral work she does is such an added bonus and hard to find a cranial sacral therapist at her level of expertise. Martha is a health care practitioner that is not easily found these days. She is empathic and compassionate and obviously is passionate about her work and helping people feel better. Martha is a real find.

I met Martha from someone I trust. I was having issues with my hip, back, and knee on my left side....what intrigued me about Martha was her approach with a phone interview first to see if she could help me.My first visit seeing Martha....I was impressed with her questions/evaluation and what and how long she would need to see me...but most of all was her knowledge because I had never encounter someone with an approach of details and getting better with certain exercises....along with her patience in making sure you are doing things right.So far 10 visits later...I’m feeling so much better with less issues and I’m able to do some of the things I use to do.Also...she is lovely, professional and determined to help you get better!!Thank you, Martha!Viann Nappi

Martha has a strong understanding of the connections in the human body through her trainings in craniosacral therapy, myofascial therapy, and various other courses and certifications. She is a well-rounded and experienced physical therapist and has been able to put me back together again every time I've needed help.

Compassionate, individualized, knowledgeable care is offered by this gifted physical therapist. Martha is a far cry from traditional PT since she addresses the whole person, not just the symptoms. I highly recommend Martha, especially if you haven't had results with traditional routes.

I was referred to Martha by a trusted friend who has been one of Martha's patients for years, and who kept gushing about her capabilities. When I met with Martha, I was amazed at the time she dedicated to understanding my myriad of medical issues and then astounded when she started to work with me and I felt so much better. Over the weeks we worked together, Martha guided me through some new exercises and made adjustments to others, always listening to me and my body. I've been totally stunned at the positive improvements in how I move more freely and painlessly. I've been to many, many PTs who only focus on the one area of pain---Martha looked beyond the pain, to the source of the issue(s), and then explained what she wanted me to do, and why. I'm thrilled to have met Martha and strongly encourage anyone with PT needs to get to her as quickly as you can.

I first started going to Martha after a high school sports injury and car accident pain was not going away with standardized PT sessions. Martha opened my eyes to the body-mind approach of healing. Her individualized sessions allowed for my body to heal while also realigning my nervous system anxieties through Craniosacral therapy. Martha has gone above and beyond as a clinical to continue her education over the years. I highly recommend Martha to anyone who is looking to make a change in their body and mind movement and healing patterns.
