"TELE THERAPY (USING ZOOM) WITH DR. HAGIT BERDISHEVSKY HAS BEEN A TRANSFORMATIVE EXPERIENCE FOR ME".
J.E 80 YEARS-OLD
"You are so encouraging, a great cheerleader and encourager, and I really love the tidbits in anatomy and new or easy (or more advanced) ways to do thing I have already learned, so I am getting value from these sessions even if not getting better."
M.H 67 years-old
"I began taking therapy zoom classes with Hagit the end of March. I have attended over 30 zoom therapy classes and each class has taught me a new lesson. Hagit’s knowledge, superior instruction on specific techniques of both Schroth and Pilates are designed to alleviate pain, correct posture and strengthen your core. Hagit’s dedication and patience with her clients is exemplary. I highly recommend Hagit for both Schroth PT and Pilates. In person or on Zoom, Hagit is able to provide excellent instruction and monitors you to make sure you have the correct technique."
