Coastal Health Institute

This clinic has been an answered prayer! Everyone at the office is truly fantastic! Working with Edsel and Marco has been the best thing I have ever done for my chronic pain, migraines and headaches. Seeing them is my favorite part of the week! They understand pain and hyper mobility like no one else. I am so thankful for everyone at this office!

I highly recommend Edsel Bittencourt as a physical therapist. Before I saw Edsel, I was still having major issues 7 months post total knee replacement. My knee was very swollen and hot to the touch. My range of motion was poor despite 6+ months of post operative PT and several months of chiropractic care. I walked with a very noticeable limp and was in constant pain. My orthopedic surgeon had even suggested a follow up surgery to try and figure out what was wrong. Thankfully, within 1-2 appointments with Edsel, I was finally moving in the right direction. Swelling quickly dissipated and my knee was cool to the touch. I no longer walk with a limp, pain has significantly decreased, and I am continuing to make gains on my range of motion. He also corrected my hip misalignment during the initial session. Edsel is extremely knowledgeable, kind, and compassionate. He spends a full hour per appointment performing manual therapy, Winback TECAR Therapy, and dry needling. Edsel truly understands how different body parts interconnect. Edsel is also very knowledgeable about EDS. The CHI team members are extremely friendly and professional. If you experiencing chronic pain or headaches, I would not hesitate to recommend Edsel and CHI.

My therapist is amazing. Reina Fernandez goes beyond the usual. She really has inconspicuously made me take inventory of myself. Reina is a loving beautiful person. I thought she wasn’t going to be able to handle me, however, she proved me wrong. I have taken her advice and have seen positive results. Her strategies to help me are very effective. Reina lets ME figure out on my own my strengths and weaknesses. Thanks to Reina I see a new future.
