Synergy+

I can not say enough good things about Zeina who owns Synergy + and who worked on me. Zeina knows so much about the body because she was an athlete. In her quiet and unassuming way she has changed my life and gotten me out of pain. Zeina understood the root of my issues and gave me simple ways to address each problem. She also advised me on what to change in my yoga and exercise routine. All of these things plus her physical manipulation have me feeling quite well.
I am most grateful!

My husband and I both have been coming for 6 years. After my husband’s near disaster with knee surgery Zeina got him walking again. She spared my son a back surgery when he was prepared for his third operation. When Zeina was out for her pregnancy, Maria substituted. She is also great and caring. Wouldn’t give up either one so we now alternate: one week with Zeina and one week with Maria. They’re both great.

Took my first Pilates mat class with Maria and it was great. I know it’s probably in my head but I swear my abs were tighter and flatter the next day and I felt a bit stronger. The class focuses on core strength and Maria really makes sure you are in the right positions so that your core is working at it’s best. Really enjoyed the class and will continue to take them even after my Living Social voucher runs out.

I am so thankful and grateful that my Orthopedic (Dr. Kristin Wingfield) referred me to Zeina Grifoni! I am 35 years old, an avid athlete, and I have been in and out of pain in the hamstring and hip for eight years. I had no idea that the best way to manage this pain was through strengthening my core. Zeina has taught me in a few months how to use my core muscles properly. Her Pilates techniques are something I never thought would help solve my pain. I have seen more than four physical therapists over the years and never before was I taught a lasting program that really worked for the long-​term!
Zeina really is the best when it comes to pain management and personal care! To add to her professional strengths, she is a wonderfully sensitive person who listens, individualizes treatment, and follows-​up. I will not forget her saying to me, «I was thinking about you this weekend and I think we need to try this…» That is the voice of a true professional who is passionate for what she does.
Thank you, Zeina.

This is the place to go if you have some type of physical discomfort, or if you want to get started with Pilates. Zeina Grifoni is the primary physical therapist here, and she is a gem! She has completely «fixed» my painful shoulder problem that 2 doctors thought would require surgery. She has helped my wife with a back problem where surgery was recommended. And she is helping a friend and neighbor with her painful back… and our neighbor is delighted with her progress!
I have been to a couple of other physical therapists in the past for rehabilitation of knee injuries, and a back pain problem; I know from experience that it is common for them to rush around, seem distracted, and to relate in a very impersonal and brusque way. I am relieved that I haven’t had to contend with this in my work with Zeina.
And if I didn’t have a «condition» that I needed to rehab., I would here for Pilates. I have done Pilates in the past, and have enjoyed it… but again, so many of the personal trainers and Pilates instructors have such a coarse understanding of the body’s musculature, and of the Pilates exercises, that they can push you to the point where you sustain an injury (usually minor, but who needs unnecessary pain?), or are so dreadfully over-​worked that you aren’t sure you want to return. Much better to go with someone who has a more complete and nuanced understanding of the body and of Pilates… and that describes Zeina, and Maria, and everyone else at the studio.
In summary: this is the only place I will ever recommend to friends or family for rehab or for Pilates. And I would urge you to give them a try!
