As a native of West Windsor, NJ, Michelle opened Connect PT in Hamilton in 2009. She lectures on women’s and men’s health issues at many community events throughout New Jersey. Read Michelle's full bio.
Michelle provides a level of personalized care that you can't find in a typical PT practice. Not only does she help you get better, she teaches you exercises that help you manage your condition for life. Her goal is to heal through education and self-care. If you want a thorough explanation of your condition and how to alleviate it, this is the place to be. I've never seen a therapist who is so thorough and detailed. |

I feel completely different after a guided meditation. At the beginning, it's very hard for me to calm my mind but by the end, I feel very quiet and peaceful. I'm so grateful for learning the skill of meditation and visualization, and hope to practice this daily. From my first phone call to Connect, to the friendly women at the front desk who schedule, to the helpful reminder phone calls for appointments, to the promptness of my therapist, the stage was constantly set for an outstanding and excellent experience. I cannot say enough about the professionalism, competence, dedication, and true caring that was shown to me by Karen Bruno. I would like to say THANK YOU for the help and improvement I have experienced. |

Becca is most passionate about treating urinary urgency and pain, bowel disorders, pelvic pain, and recovery for men after treatment for prostate cancer.
Read Becca's full bio. After many years with a painful condition, I'm so happy to have learned new techniques from my therapist [Rebecca] that will make lasting improvements to my condition. The staff is friendly and instantly makes me feel at ease. The facility is clean, bright, and professional. I highly recommend [Rebecca] and Connect PT to anyone! For quite a few years I never wanted to talk or admit about a certain “guy issue” I had. It was pain in my testicle. I ended up at a Urologist…at that point, my only real option to fix this was a surgery to have it removed. [Then] I had the pleasure to meet and speak with Becca Ironside (PT, MSPT). Simply put, Becca is an amazing person and Physical Therapist. She has a cool, calm demeanor and knows exactly how to get to the point of any issues us guys may have. Becca’s approach has helped the pain subside to the point where I can function normally and not have to worry about being cut open by a doctor in such a sensitive area. |

Bryn is board certified in biofeedback for pelvic muscle dysfunction through the BCIA. Beyond using the biofeedback for teaching strengthening or releasing of the pelvic muscles, she has a focus on coordination of the pelvic muscles for functional constipation. Read Bryn's full bio.
I had the best experience at Connect Physical Therapy. My therapist Bryn was the best. She was patient and took her time to make sure I was comfortable with my sessions and that I understood all my treatments with pelvic floor therapy. I had such terrible pain when I first started, and at the end of my therapy, I had zero pain. I'm so grateful for all the help I received. I had a tough injury and the excellent care I received made all the difference. |

In 2013, Cynthia received her spine specialist certification through the McKenzie Institute. Her knowledge, passion, experience and drive to continually further her education enhances her skills as a pelvic health clinician to provide the best care for those affected by these conditions to return to pain-free and optimal living. Read Cynthia's full bio.
Cynthia is exceptional. She is warm, knowledgeable and absolutely goes the extra mile...She listens carefully to your symptoms, and addresses each one systematically. She also can tell when you have not been doing your exercises at home and will gently make sure that you do. I have been treated by Cynthia for a few weeks and already I feel incredible changes. I’d been saying for years that I couldn’t breathe deeply and had tried yoga, deep breathing techniques, etc, and while it increased my awareness, I still felt I couldn’t breathe sufficiently. I bought a yoga mat a few months ago but hadn’t been able to use it because it was too painful to lie on my back. Now I can! Words cannot express my gratitude!! |
