Alma is a gifted caregiver. She is always positive and encouraging. She is always sensitive to the patient's needs and abilities. And she is always looking for ways to improve outcomes for her patients both in study/research and continual assessment of patient's progress. I always recommend her to anyone looking for specialized scoliosis therapy. She is the best! Thank you Alma!

Alma is the very best at what she does. I would give her more than 5 stars if I could. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, very caring, easy to talk to, and always explains things in a manner that is easy to comprehend. I would highly recommend her to anyone with back problems and especially anyone with problems related to scoliosis. She's the very BEST there is anywhere!

Yes! Alma was able to help me eliminate my 40 degree curvature using stretching and exercise, when the previous physical therapy I received at the hospital did very little. She stressed that I needed to do the prescribed therapy at home as well as during my visits with her. During my appointments, she was always professional and encouraging. When I developed a complication, she was quick to identify the problem, suggest a solution and make an appropriate medical referral. In addition to her effectiveness as a physical therapist, Alma is easy to work with and as flexible as possible with her schedule. She stays current in her speciality and shares pertinent information with clients. Alma successfully combines the roles of clinician, teacher and cheerleader to give her clients a totally positive experience.

Alma Deguzman has saved my life in a way. I first went to her in major pain, having seen two spinal specialists who had confirmed that, while I had major spinal abnormalities, I was not a candidate for surgery. Alma had been a referral from one of them. By the time I had spent a year strengthening the muscles she told me would hold up my back better, I was essentially out of pain. At my age (85), there is no way to remove the twist and curvature of my spine, as it had hardened to what it is now in my late teens, but I am amazed at what working on those basic spinal muscles can do. I can do anything I want, adopt any position, exercise at any sport, all without the major pain that was keeping me from moving around, the pain that I felt every waking moment (and most sleeping ones). So this is the wonderful full life without pain that Alma has given me and I plan to work with her for many years to come to maintain that life. Thank you, Alma.

Alma is highly trained in the Schroth Method and dedicated to improving the lives of her patients by improving the spine and teaching patients how to do exercises to deal with pain. She studied my case carefully because my condition is so different & at 72 my spine curvature is advanced. Because she has spine issues herself, she understands back pain. She is genuinely dedicated to her patients.

I wish to express deep appreciation for the diagnostic, advisory and procedural benefits that I continue to derive from your integrated expertise with your characteristically empathetic and well explained approach. With three lower back surgeries over 40+ years, I have always been confident with your diagnosis of the evolving repercussions of my scoliosis, leg length difference. and needed shoe lift to counteract a pedorthic asymmetry. 'One-stop shopping' for medical advice, physiotherapy, exercise recommendations, and ordering of special shoes has indeed been very handy!
