"I just wanted to say THANK YOU for all the amazing work you did with me this fall to get me back on my feet!" -- S

“This is the second time I’ve received therapy from Agnes Schrider for two different issues and I have benefited tremendously from her knowledge and skillful therapy suggestions. Agnes provides the information needed along with the motivation to practice the exercises at home. As with all physical therapy, you must be a partner in your success, but if you are willing to do the work, you will feel better!” —PC

“Dear Agnes, All of us at TOPS 0760 (Nellysford), want to thank you for sharing your professional expertise with us yesterday (April 23) as our program speaker. Many, if not most us, know you from either being your client or by “word of mouth.” We value your knowledge on how to get and keep our bodies in the best possible condition. You passionately express the importance of doing all the right things to make our lives more healthy and meaningful.” —JH

“Everything is fine … no pain anywhere, feeling really good, playing 18 holes of golf two to three times a week, and all of this is thanks to Agnes Schrider.  Many of my friends are having shoulder, knee, and/or hip surgery, even after I say to them to try therapy with ACAC.  For me, surgery would be the absolute last resort.” —DG
