Report
My assessment with Joseph Federico was comprehensive and extremely helpful. Joseph listened to all of my issues thoroughly, asked questions, and helped me investigate the issues. He was very methodical and found several potential sources for my pain. He already gave me exercises to work on and I look forward to following up with him.
