Terran, patient
I came to Vanessa because my hips, lower back and pelvic region was in worse shape than I imagined. It got to the point to where I refused to sit down for more than 5 min due to horrific pain or couldn’t get intimate without having pain as well. Vanessa immediately made me feel comfortable and made a set plan for me to get better basically that day rather than just throw a TENS machine on me and call it good. She introduced me to cupping, which I will say was a game changer for my lower back and with taping and teaching me exercises to do at home my hips and back became less and less of a bother (that I cannot thank enough for!!). For my pelvic floor, she helped me figure out why it was painful and also set a plan to help with that, and we ladies know that this can be embarrassing but she made me feel incredibly comfortable and also showed my partner what he could do to help me as well plus a lot of great recommendations to stop tearing. She is professional and personal all at the same time and actually does care which in my view is very rare!

When I met Vanessa, I still hadn’t received my diagnosis of H-EDS (a hypermobile connective tissue disorder) and recently had endometriosis excision surgery. I came to her with chronic complex pain and had been dismissed for many years by multiple medical professionals. An integral part of my care with Vanessa, was her ability to make me feel comfortable from day 1. She always took the time to listen to my concerns and developed a plan to address them accordingly. She always made sure to check in to ensure a movement or muscle release was not causing pain or discomfort. When I was being a less than compliant patient, she would take the time to help me formulate a plan to ensure home exercises were achievable. Vanessa has truly changed my life! Through her care, I am able to live with less pain and enjoy my life more. You will get truly unmatched care at Imua PT with Vanessa Cornwell-Chiu.

I came to Vanessa at age 14 with a serious concussion. Over a year, Vanessa not only guided me through the journey of safely returning to activity, but also became a friend and mentor. Vanessa ran me through balance and eye movement exercises, introduced me to cupping, monitored my heart rate as we gradually increased my level of activity, and made creative exercises that would involve soccer (the sport I loved). Vanessa’s honest, direct, and compassionate communication style kept me going even when I felt completely discouraged. Anyone would be lucky to work with her.
