I am an RN that has the immense fortune to have been referred to Alternative Therapy at the request of my Neurologist.

One year ago, I suffered 3 significant strokes. This result of which at first resulted in a seizure disorder and blindness, as well as weakness on my right side.
I was very fortunate to have my eyesight gradually return, but left permanent vision loss and difficulty with coordination.

I have had the opportunity over my 25 years working in the healthcare industry; both in the hospital setting as well as the home healthcare arena, to work extensively in collaboration with different therapists treating and specializing in the recovery of stroke survivors. My experience within this field had left me with the realization that I may never work again as a result of my brain injury. With my healthcare background I am very much aware of the seriousness of my diagnosis, and I held very little hope of returning to my lifelong career as a nurse- much less ever leading a normal life as I had known it prior to the day my brain injury occurred.

That all changed for me the day I met Andrzej Strzalkowski, RPT at Alternative Therapy in Bradenton, FL...

I am giving a very heartfelt and honest review. After my very first appointment with
"Dr. S" (as I refer to him) I walked left his office With HOPE for the very first time!
I have never met anyone prior to that day
that gave me a reason to believe that I could- and WOULD recover to lead a truly productive life again. His skill set is one that
utilizes both Western and Eastern Medicine
in such a way as to bring every aspect of HEALING and health together; resulting in the most powerful techniques to allow for my body & brain to reconnect again. I realize ...and he will be most honest in telling you, too - That there is a path ahead of me that may not always be easy. But for the effort that I am willing to put forth - based on the hope that he brings through his skill set; I KNOW that "The Cure is Within Me" to lead a normal and fully functioning life once again!
I bless the day that I had the good fortune to have been referred to Alternative Therapy!

Lee Ann is wonderfull and very knowledgeable about how the different parts of the human body work together. I've only seen her a few times and I already feel better. She is hands on, unlike a lot of physical therapists who give you an exercise, tell you to do 20 repetitions and move on to someone else. She will also show you how to do the right exercises. I highly recommend her.

I was very surprised to get such great results from one acupuncture treatment with Ellen. I went in feeling fatigued, achy , sinus pains and bloated . I left feeling energized , and had no pain anywhere . Ellen said my circulation was very congested and slow and after her treatment My bladder was full .. I weighed myself before i went and when i came home i had lost 2.6 lbs of water, I felt light and i had no swelling in my feet’s and fingers and I could breathe and my back had no pain. I’m hooked :)
