This app makes it easy to book and change appointments, vs dealing directly with Orthology which is cumbersome

Larissa works thoughtfully with me each session helping me to determine the exercises to strengthen my injured elbow and the other parts of my body. I appreciate Larrison's whalistic & patient approach. She has guided me to build my strength to do exercises that were hard at first.

Larissa is an incredible PT. She puts extra care, attention to detail and support into every visit. She is the best PT I have ever had- and I have done a good bit.

I first found Larissa after sustaining an injury while training for the NYC marathon. Larissa was practical with my training and recovery time, and ultimately provided me with the appropriate exercises and advancements each week for me to heal in time to run the marathon! Larissa is very approachable with questions, patient, and takes time to thoroughly explain exercises and how to localize strengthening certain muscles to help with recovery. I am so grateful to have found Larissa when I did! She is a fabulous PT, highly recommend!

Larissa and the Orthology team truly are top notch! I came in with a shoulder injury months ago and have been experiencing steady relief of my pain over time. What stands out about Larissa is her patience with her care. Even if she is busy, she takes time with me to insure I get the care I need and understand specifically whats going on in my body.
