Roots Physical Therapy & Wellness

Experiencia fantástica: Couldn't recommend enough! I had a persistent IT band problem from hiking in Peru that was causing a lot of pain, especially in my knee. Leo was able to identify exactly what was causing the pain and how the IT band had become a problem, and we worked through four sessions in managing this pain and strengthening specific muscles so that I could get back to walking and hiking without pain. Leo explained everything in detail so I could understand exactly what was wrong and how the treatment was helping. I finished with a bespoke document of exercises that I can refer back to and strategies to deal with this issue if it ever reoccurs. Thanks so much!

Experiencia fantástica: Súper profesionales

Experiencia fantástica: Nicole is basically the Dr. House of physiotherapy. I connected with her after developing a knee pain that appeared suddenly and was inhibiting my life, including preventing me from running (which is something I love) and even walking comfortably. I am glad I took it seriously right away because it wasn't something to walk off or something that just needed pain management. I learned this, of course, through Dr. Nicole. Dr. Nicole is a pro of the pros in every which possible. I first of all dig her overall friendly, easy going demeanor that. She has a positive outlook on everything including your injury and she will have you believing healing is possible, and maybe even easy and fun. She can get you to believe that because she believes it, and she is fantastic at her job so she knows what she's talking about! The process with Dr. Nicole has been a bunch of things. I have learned a lot about my body, including the fact that my issue had to do with my body set up and was longer standing than the knee pain. Dr. Nicole identified that AND helped me fix it. I thought I was naturally flat-footed, but I was amazed, surprised, and shocked to see arches appear in my feet the more I worked with Dr. Nicole. Dr. Nicole is the real deal and the whole package. If you are suffering from something, don't hesitate to reach out to her.

Experiencia fantástica: Nicole is so good at what she does! Professional, well-informed, and somehow able to explain everything in a way that makes sense! Working with her has helped me recover from an injury and become a stronger runner in the process! Thank you!!

Experiencia fantástica: Leo is incredible and a must see physio in Mexico City. I came to Leo with a runner’s knee 2 weeks before the Mexico marathon with the hope of a miracle to help me run and manage my injury. I could’t have found a better person. Leo taught me about the injury and the function of the muscles around it, which gave me a better understanding of what i needed to do to fix the injury and strengthen to stop it reoccurring. He was flexible and would alter our plan to accommodate for changes such as my ankle also becoming incredibly inflamed and stiff. Leo’s positive mindset and belief that i would finish the marathon gave me a mental boost as well, which was probably one of the reasons why i was able to complete the race. I am so glad i found him, he will 100% change your mindset and sort out your injuries.

Experiencia fantástica: I had a great experience with ROOTS - super professional, knowledgeable and encouraging! I would 100% recommend working with them.

Experiencia fantástica: Josue muy buen mesero

Experiencia fantástica: Nicole is great and helps to build a lasting and holistic understanding of your body. Cannot recommend enough.

Experiencia fantástica: I arrived in Mexico a year ago, and was recommended Nicole's services at Roots to fix long standing issues I have with both Achilles tendonitis, and my calves, after playing rugby for most of my life to date. To put this in perspective, I am a keen runner, I hadn't run properly in over a year when I met Nicole. She has a new-age approach to physio-therapy. She doesn't want to know 'where it hurts and why', she wants to know your history, what sports you have played, any injuries you have suffered in your life, any operations you've had, what you do for work. All of this information feeds her holistic approach to working with a new client. It was the first time I've experienced this method, and it's incredibly refreshing. After a year of working together, including some false starts in terms of returning to running and full fitness, I'm happy to report we are almost at a point where there isn't anything more Nicole can do to correct compensations I've developed to 'deal' with old injuries and niggles. I no longer hobble out of bed in the morning, my Achilles tendons are healthy and pain free ...and my calves just need managing the same as anyone else that has played a lot of sport. I'm on track to get back to running the middle distances I love and I'm confident that I can finally return to full fitness. I cannot recommend her services enough!

Experiencia fantástica: Great session with Dr. Nicole Seward. She reviewed the pains in my body as a system and I really learned a lot from her in a single hour. I'm excited to implement my personalized recovery plan for my running!

Experiencia fantástica: I went to Nicole to figure out why I was spending countless hours in the gym without seeing any progress or results. She is a true professional, she kept things interesting and blew my mind in showing me how I had been training inefficiently for years. I learned how to use my brain to activate my muscles to get effective workouts. I know that I was a very difficult and negative client. Nicole was always super encouraging and had to be very creative to come up with new ways for me not to cheat. She really knows what she is doing; consider yourself very lucky if you can get some of her time!

Experiencia fantástica: Nicole is great at what she does. Amazing to have been able to fit 2 quality sessions in my brief time in CDMX. Much higher standard to what I'm used to in the UK. Would highly recommend if you're stopping over or based in the city.

Experiencia fantástica: So…I have a shoulder injury I have been rehabbing quite a while now. It starts acting up after I play some tennis. I find Nicole right before I am headed back home….which was a bummer. Why - because she was awesome for the few visits we had! She started with mobility, after diagnosing my problem. Progressed to some exercises and immediately had my shoulder more mobile than it had been in a year of rehab at other places. She is legit, if it hurts..go see her, you will not be disappointed. She is my go to anytime I am in DF from now going forward.

Experiencia fantástica: Don't wait for a 5-alarm fire to get relief! I went to Dr. Nicole with a recurring injury that wasn't halting my life but was limiting my yoga practice and generally deeply annoying me. She not only helped me build a practice around re-stabilizing and strengthening the injured area, truly getting at the root cause to stop recurrence, but also explained things in a way that empowered me with a better understanding of how and why this injury wasn't going away completely with rest alone (go figure, I know). She gave me similar tools for a few other frequently sore/agitated spots that also weren't debilitating, but were limiting me in ways I didn't realize until I had the chance to see how much better my body function could be. Bonus - she's a joy to be around on top of being incredibly skilled and at the top of her professional game.

Experiencia fantástica: After a knee break, and weeks of PT with someone else where I felt no progress was being made, Dr. Seward helped me see light at the end of the tunnel. Her guidance, explanations, encouragement and humor helped me avoid surgery, start walking and I'm on a path to running and skiing again! Feel SO lucky a friend recommended her to me, and can't endorse her highly enough. She's incredible knowledgable, professional and has given me the tools to continue to make improvements outside of our sessions. THANK YOU NICOLE!

Experiencia fantástica: Nicole is the best physical therapist in CDMX! I've been going to PT since I was 15 and she's legit the best I've ever had; I've never had someone not just treat my knee, but see how years of compensating for that knee has shown up throughout my body and help me retrain my brain!

Experiencia fantástica: I can't recommend Nicole enough as a physiotherapist. Her holistic, investigative approach, hands-on treatment and practical tips were instrumental in relieving my neck pain, while making the journey to recovery feel supportive and tailored just for me. Nicole's expertise, great communication style, and practical approach empowered me to actively participate in my recovery. I am now pain-free and grateful for her exceptional care.

Experiencia fantástica: After 38 years of chronic pain and the last 3 of chronic fatigue, Nicole has been a godsend. I never would have expected the level of healing and strengthening I got from working with her to come so quickly. Despite all my years of self-study, conventional, functional, and alternative medicine work, Nicole has done more in four months than others have done in 40 years! Thank Gd for Nicole. Never give up on healing, not just symptom relief, but actual healing and strengthening. If I can do it after all these decades, so can you!

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience. Nicole helped me with an ongoing issue I had with my hip.

Experiencia fantástica: Nicole was incredible. I had a terrible back spasm during my holiday and though Nicole had a full schedule, she went above and beyond to help me through the day virtually. She was also able to send a therapist to my hotel to help with the pain. Couldn’t have asked for better care

Experiencia fantástica: Nicole is an amazing PT who has helped me rehab my lower back and shoulder. She is focused on getting at the root of the problem and providing tools to prevent, maintain and treat. I highly recommend her services!

Experiencia fantástica: I had a great experience with Nicole and immidiately a click. She helped me reducing my neck pain, understand my symptoms better and showed me very useful, easy to do exercises at home. Recommended!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Nicole helped me recover from an ankle sprain. Very professional and helpful with providing all the information I needed to know to continue healing and recovering. I was back to my normal exercise routine quickly after working with her in a couple of sessions.

Experiencia fantástica: Nicole is the best physiotherapist EVER. I had debilitating shoulder & neck pain (couldn't sit on a sofa, carry a bag etc) for months, and after the first session with Nicole I saw improvements. I had seen three (terrible) physiotherapists in the UK who had zero impact, but Nicole resolved my problems. I can't thank her enough or recommend her enough. Don't even think about it, try to get an appointment.

Experiencia fantástica: Nicole is amazing! She helped me to fix 20 years of back pain in just 10 months! I came to her in a huge amount of pain, taking medication every day and having trouble moving and doing my job. I had stopped all forms of exercise due to the pain and was having trouble sleeping. Nicole explained everything to me, including the process of recovery and that we would work together to find the root cause of my problems. She used stretches, massage and functional exercises all working together and now I am now pain free! The moment she told me that physio was no longer needed was wonderful after so many years of suffering! Thank you Nicole!

Experiencia fantástica: I came to Roots after months of ignoring a knee injury. Within weeks of therapy and training, I was able to gain full mobility in my knee and confidence in my body. Nicole was so attentive, thoughtful, and practical about my needs. She knew when and where to push my limits and provided me with invaluable training & insights that I continue to use every single day. I couldn't recommend Roots more!

Experiencia fantástica: Nicole is a champion. She's a tremendously knowledgeable and skilled professional, and is a wonderful human. I saw her for a single session before leaving Mexico City and she was able to both implement immediate pain management strategies and derive comprehensive long-term treatment plans for two unique injuries...all while educating me on the finer points of nerve anatomy and swapping stories about living in Mexico! Highly recommend to any and all.

Experiencia fantástica: I've been on a long journey of recovery since my knee surgery, and while I tried other physiotherapists, it was only with Nicole that I truly began to see and feel a significant difference. Her expertise, personalized approach, and dedication play a pivotal role in accelerating my recovery process. I’m grateful not just for her exceptional physiotherapy sessions but also for her holistic approach. Alongside our physio, gym & home exercise plan, Nicole introduced me to nutritionist sessions that transformed my meal plan, ensuring a faster muscle recovery. The combination has been fantastic, and I can now track tangible monthly progress in my muscle mass. Thanks to Nicole, the dream of getting back on the water isn't just a hope—it’s a rapidly approaching reality. I can't recommend her highly enough!

Experiencia fantástica: Nicole is an extraordinary provider and transformed my relationship to my body and mind. I'm so grateful for her expertise, her real talk, encouragement, and persistent nudging. During the seven months I worked with Nicole, I made tremendous progress in flexibility and strength building. Before I worked with Nicole, my back would frequently be in pain and I was continuously afraid of my back "going out." Now, my back is strong, my hips are considerably more flexible, and I'm confidently working four days a week with a personal trainer (something that would have been physically difficult prior to Nicole). Most importantly, Nicole taught me how to not just listen to my body, but to take control of my future. Recommend Nicole 1000%!

Experiencia fantástica: Nicole is phenomenally professional and goes above and beyond for her clients. You can tell that so much of her energy goes into this work and she truly gives you AND your recovery her all. When I was recovering from torn ankle ligaments, the fact that I had to work with her virtually from a different country did not stand in the way of my progress. She gave me great stretches, body exercises and advice for my recovery that helped me so much and still continues to check in with me about my progress even though she doesn’t have to! I could not recommend her enough.

Experiencia fantástica: Nicole has been a life saver! I came to her with back pain from a herniated disk and unable to even put on socks on without squirming in pain. Rest and scaled down gym routines weren't helping. Nicole immediately diagnosed the issue and took extra time to truly understand both my goals and current limitations. Thanks to PT with her, I've now significantly improved my mobility. She's gotten me back to my normal lifting workouts and has helped me make adjustments to prevent future injury. We've also had success working on my knee and shoulder. I'd highly recommend her services if you want a no-nonsense PT who knows her craft and will get you back to your pre-injury state ASAP. I'll continue to work with her on an ongoing basis to ward off future injuries. Don't think twice and make Roots your PT in CDMX!

Experiencia fantástica: Gran fisioterapia. Empieza por la comprensión de los síntomas y sus causas, para después desarrollar un plan personalizado, progresivo y eficiente. Muy recomendable.

Experiencia fantástica: If you or someone you know is looking for a new PT I'd say to look no further. I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Seward!!! None of the healthcare I've received as college athlete and into my adult life has ever been as great of an experience as I've had with her. I feel like FINALLY I've found a PT that really knows what they're doing and I very much wish I found her sooner. She is an encyclopedia of knowledge about the body, and every session I have with her leaves me feeling stronger and more hopeful about my health. Before seeing her for my injuries this year I saw two different doctors who doubted the pain I was in and did nothing but tell me to rest and take medication. During our sessions she's made me feel heard right away, worked collaboratively with me to heal, and gave me reassurance that I'm going to be okay. I'm happy to say I'm feeling stronger and on the road to healing properly Qualities of Dr. Seward I love: - She is kind, compassionate, easy to trust - She is a real, true professional - She seeks first to understand your specific injury and takes notes throughout the session - Her way of explaining things is digestible and always easy to follow - She makes me feel like my healing journey is a team effort Thank you Dr. Seward!

Experiencia fantástica: Nicole and Jose are excellent physical therapists! They’ve helped me in so many ways through all of the aches and pains and problems with getting a bit older….from my initial reason for going in, through to so many other things I’d kind of learned to live with but don’t have to! Could recommend them more!

Experiencia fantástica: 5 starts does not even begin to cover my opinion. Over the years, I've had more than my share of damage, so I've visited a wide variety of orthopedic doctors, osteopaths, physical therapists, and even a myotherapist. Thankfully, my pilgrimage is over. I will never go see anyone ever again. I have never received better, more effective, or more clearly-explained care. Not once, not anywhere.

Experiencia fantástica: Best physical therapy in town

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing! Amazing! I’ve been working with Nicole for 8+ months now. I know it sounds like a long time! However, I see my sessions with Nicole as an investment into my healthy, fitness and physical education! I came to Nicole after knee surgery. My knee didn’t heal as well as I had hoped for. I tried out many different Physiotherapist in the city, but I wasn’t able to improve past a certain point and I continued to live in pain. In all honesty I gave up and I started to believe that I wouldn’t regain the strength in my leg again. I’m a Pilates Instructor by profession, so I thought I could rehab myself but the result was that I over compensated in order to do the things I loved. Since seeing Nicole we’ve worked on learning basic movement patterns that my leg forgot entirely. As a result I started to build strength and flexibility and develop positive movement habits. I’ve gone from chronic daily pain to every oh only every now and then. I’ve gone from a limp leg to regaining muscle mass and definition. I’m in a happier place for sure! She’s amazing folks! Don’t put your health on hold! Try this fabulous, knowledgeable, kind hearted yet fierce physiotherapist and gain control of your life again! Don’t live in pain.

Experiencia fantástica: Nicole is a life-changer. The perfect balance of a professional doctor and holistic healer (but without any woo-woo). I've worked with her for over a year and I feel educated, empowered, and cared for on a deep level. I look forward to having Nicole in my corner for many years to come - both in person and remote, as we continue to expand upon the work, beyond just "healing" but going for "optimal performance and lasting longevity".

Experiencia fantástica: I was experiencing mysterious neck pain for months before going to see Nicole. Through a combination of massage therapy, strengthening, and stretching, we made vast improvements in gradually reducing and eventually eliminating the pain. Nicole not only helped reduce the symptoms but she also focused on strengthening and preventing future injuries, teaching proper posture and targeted stretching. Highly recommended!

Experiencia fantástica: Highly recommended! I thought I would never be able to do hard hikes or play sports without knee pain, but after a few months with regular sessions with Nicole at Roots PT I've had a lot of progress. I've learned and improved so much. I highly recommend Roots PT!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Nicole is the best. She truly cares about getting you back into peak form. I can’t speak any more highly of her. A true professional, always working hard for her clients’ success, and highly motivational. Thank you so much, doc! :)

Experiencia fantástica: Nicole is literally the best. I have never felt so listened to, or so well taken care of as the many months she treated a difficult shin splint issue for me. She is very dedicated and really investigates with all her heart. She is also very happy to explain what she is doing and why, which feels very transparent, and makes you feel like you're learning about your body at the same time as you're being treated. A++ service and a lovely human being.

Experiencia fantástica: Nicole invested significant time and energy into investigating the root of my chronic shoulder pain and now we have a treatment plan that is making it go away for the first time in 5 years!! She really cares about her patients, their pain, and their athletic success (which means feeling good and getting strong the right way). She has taught me so much and I recommend her to anyone who wants to improve or feel better physically in their sports or lives. Thanks Dr. Nicole!!

Experiencia fantástica: Roots prepared and trained me for my first half marathon by creating a customized virtual plan aligned with my athletic ability level with specific directions for hydrating, resting, stretching and dieting. The specialized training plan helped me to beat my marathon pace by almost 2 minutes and meet my goal with no injuries. Dr. Nicole provided weekly check-ins with me and modified the training plan according to how I was feeling. She is so knowledgeable and goes above and beyond and genuinely cares. I would highly recommend Roots and all of the programs that they offer.

Experiencia fantástica: Nicole es la mejor fisioterapeuta y entrenadora que he tenido en mi vida. He venido trabajando por más de 1 año y me ayudó a correr mi primera Marathon con resultados increíbles y ahora me ayuda mucho a mejorar en mi forma de correr. Recomiendo 100% sus servicios!!
