Resonance Physical Therapy & Wellness - Folsom, California

I can't recommend Dr. Sandy enough! She takes a holistic approach to care, helping me uncover the root causes of my symptoms rather than just treating them superficially. From our very first session, she went above and beyond to educate me on everything from posture to anatomy, ensuring I felt confident in doing the prescribed exercises and stretches on my own. I initially came in with intense sacrum pain, thinking it was pregnancy-related, but, we discovered a different cause. Within just a week of implementing her exercises, I felt noticeable relief— this was much sooner than I ever expected! I feel a lot more comfortable and confident going into birth!

What stands out the most about Dr. Sandy is her passion for her work and her genuine care for her patients' well-being. Her knowledge and personable nature made every session enjoyable, and I always left feeling empowered to take control of my healing journey. While consistency with the exercises is key (I notice symptoms return when I slack off), I'm so grateful for the tools she has given me to feel better and stay better. So make sure you do what she tells you to do!

I am a nurse and always planned on seeing a pelvic floor physical therapist during my pregnancy. When I started seeing Dr. Sandy prenatally I was already having lower back pain in my first trimester. The consultation was very thorough and all recommendations and treatments were extremely personalized. My back pain was much improved throughout my pregnancy with the strength training and exercises she prescribed.

I was also developing diastasis recti
(DR) pretty early on in my pregnancy and Dr. Sandy helped stabilized this. She continued to give me a tailored treatment plan that was reviewed at every visit with exercises and advice on how to support my core and pelvic area throughout my pregnancy…and also get my body ready for birth and labor!

Dr. Sandy is very wise and kind! I really enjoyed learning more about anatomy and why I was experiencing certain physical symptoms.

I ended up having an unplanned c-section and losing a lot of blood during surgery. I continued to see Dr. Sandy during postpartum and this was so important in helping me get my strength back.

I highly recommend Dr. Sandy. It is clear she is a true expert in her field. Without her, my pregnancy would have been much more difficult. She helped set my body and me up for as smooth a labor and delivery as possible. Of course things dont always go as planned, but I believe a huge part of my quick recovery was from my time with Dr. Sandy!

I would not recommend Sandy as a physical therapist. I initially took my son to her for scoliosis treatment, expecting a more specialized approach. However, after two sessions, I noticed that she did not provide any specific exercises or practices to address my son's condition. Additionally, her rates are excessively high considering the level of knowledge and care she offers. When I found her prices too high, I searched for other physical therapists, and almost all of them had rates at half of her prices. I took my son to one of them and found that doctor to be much more knowledgeable, providing effective exercises in the first two sessions.

Sandy gave me the impression that her focus is more on money than patient care. Her cancellation policy is also very restrictive, requiring notification at least 7 business days before the appointment to avoid a cancellation fee, and she charges fees seven days in advance. Furthermore, she does not have any specialized equipment for exercises, whereas the new location where I am taking my son has more equipment available. Overall, I would not recommend Sandy's services.

I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Sandya for a year with multiple treatments. She was not only hands-on, but educational in teaching me target areas and specifics for self-treatment. She is extremely personable and approachable. I would recommend coming to her for treatment and especially looking to her with a learner mindset.

As an adult with scoliosis I was excited to give schroth therapy a try, and Sandy was sure she could help reduce my pain within 5 or so appointments. After 8 very expensive visits ($300 each), and a very strict cancelation policy, I did not see any progress. She gave me minimal things to do at home, which I did religiously. I felt like the appointments were very slow moving, as if trying to stretch things out for maximum payment. I also felt like she lacked compassion.
When I requested my records she charged me $50 for basically 15 pages of repeating what she wrote on the first visit 8 times. She refused to fax or send them to my Dr, but rather required them to be emailed to me which was a pain.
I have since joined an online Schroth therapist exercise program for $39 a month, Schroth Boss, that I am very happy with after just a month of working every day feel I am starting to make some progress.

Dr Sandy is amazing! She has helped me understand and manage my scoliosis pain through whole body therapy starting with posture, learning how to correctly do the right exercises and focusing on breathing.
I drive 1 1/2 hours to see her but she is worth it. I completed the 12 visit program but decided to continue seeing her every few months.
I definitely recommend Dr Sandy!

Dr. Sandhya Dharmadas, PT, DPT, OCS, FAAOMPT was incredible. From consultation call to our final session, she was thorough, trauma-informed, holistic and I genuinely felt she cared about me and my progress. When I first started with her, I was so discouraged and had been trying to resolve my particular challenge for over a decade. Despite this, she infused me with hope from the beginning and was very invested in my overall health even though we were working on a specific issue. Again, I felt very cared for. She is both experienced and very kind. It took time, but that's what was needed and I was able to naturally address the issue and I have successfully completed my health goals and am so grateful to her! I wish I had found her sooner!

Dr. Sandy is an exceptional physical therapist in every way. She clearly understands the physiology of scoliosis and how it affects the entire skeletal system. I was suffering from chronic hip and shoulder pain as a result of scoliosis. After trying several chiropractors and personal trainers, I decided to seek her help. She was able to meticulously diagnose the problem and provide me with exercises and stretches to alleviate my pain. Her knowledge of therapeutic massage, stretching, and strength training all combined to create an amazing and lasting solution. I highly recommend her!!
