I have been a client of Dessie's for nine years, and have been fortunate to benefit from her physical therapy talents. Her experience with and knowledge of the human body is impressive - she can always get to the bottom of where and why something hurts, and knows the best techniques to soothe it, from trigger point releases to cupping to recommending traditional at-home exercises. Most importantly, Dessie cares about her clients as a whole - I always feel refreshed, reset, and balanced both mentally and physically after my appointments with her. I can't recommend Dessie enough!

For several years, I’ve dealt with various physical rotations and misalignments caused by injuries, tight hamstrings, and ongoing overuse. Each month, I see Dessie, and she consistently puts everything back where it belongs, allowing me to continue living an active life.
We start every session by discussing what needs attention, and over the next 45 minutes she works her magic. Dessie always explains what she’s doing, identifies the root causes of my issues, and offers helpful suggestions for improving and maintaining the affected areas.
If you’re looking for a physical therapist who genuinely cares about helping you get better, I highly recommend seeing Dessie.
A Happy Client
I am always so happy to come see you! I truly look forward to my visit with you. You listen to me and what I feel is going on with body, then really take the time to work my body as needed. Your compassion and knowledge is top notch. And I love how you ask all the questions to make sure we are addressing the true source of what is going on! I also love that you’re willing to pass on information of others when necessary! I always leave you feeling so much at ease! Thank you so much for the amazing work you do!

From the very first visit I saw how exceptionally knowledgeable and compassionate Dessie is. Her observation skills are extraordinary: she quickly pinpoints imbalances and their potential causes, and she knows exactly what is needed to resolve them. She has undergone a wide variety of trainings that give her all the tools necessary to do the trick. I also appreciate the exercises she assigns for home practice after each session. They are empowering for me, helping me take responsibility for deepening and maintaining the changes that she initiates. She has made a huge difference for me.

I'm so glad to have this opportunity to write about Dessie. I have been seeing her for six months, and my body feels so much better. I don't think I've ever met a professional who cares so deeply about how I am actually feeling, both mentally and physically. It is so wonderful to be taken seriously and to be really heard. She always offers encouragement and educates me about how my muscles are supposed to work and this has had a huge effect on my progress. Her office is quiet, private and beautifully set up for comfort. I never feel pain during sessions and the appointments fly by. I highly recommend her and am so glad she was recommended to me. My walking has improved so much and my TMJ is incredibly relieved.

Before I started my sessions with Dessie I had injured my leg in a slip and fall. I had a couple of years of PT which helped tremendously, but there was still something not quite right. When I started my sessions, my whole body felt "lighter" and I felt stronger and more like myself. I am walking more upright and my lower back pain has diminished. Thanks to her knowledge and expertise I have improved my mobility and therefore have gained muscle by being able to walk more. I highly recommend - you will feel amazing!!

I am an accountant, so I spend many hours at the computer—usually without paying attention to proper posture—until my back, neck, and arms (my whole body) are knotted with tension; that, combined with a couple of falls, is how Dessie came into my life.
I’m not a fan of medication or surgery, and after going through physical therapy, I was becoming desperate because I couldn't find the right path to feeling well again. One day, while chatting with a friend, she said, "I think I know the person you need—her name is Dessie Fazzuoli. She uses a different kind of therapy than what you’ve tried before, and I think she can help you."
I started seeing Dessie in June; I remember her telling me that I was misaligned and that I needed to work on aligning my body. She explained her approach, very clearly, gently, and in a friendly manner. As the sessions progressed (two per month), I began to feel my body regaining energy, vitality, and—above all—the joy of waking up each day and enjoying life. Dessie has been a blessing in my life, and today I have the opportunity to write about the benefits her approach has brought me. Thank you, Dessie.

I have been seeing Dessie for an overall wellness session for knee issues. Working with Dessie has been an wonderful experience. Dessie is knowledgeable in the field and very personable. Dessie listens to my issues at each session and sets up a plan with a positive outcome. I highly recommend Dessie.

As Dessie notes, the body keeps score, and I have been going to her for a few years for "tune-ups" to undo the pains and misalignments that come from everyday living. From shoulder and hip issues from too much sitting in front of a computer to pelvic misalignments from tripping or falling on some ice, Dessie has dealt with it and helped “unwind” the everyday abuse I subject my body to. After a visit to Dessie, I know my body is back to square and ready to function again as it should. Best yet, she equips me with stretches and exercises that I can do in between appointments to help keep things working well. If you have a nagging ache or feel like your body just isn’t working as smoothly as it did before, I highly recommend a visit to Dessie.

I have been a client of Dessie since 2018. I had tried traditional physical therapy and chiropractic care and nothing was working and then my acupuncturist suggested I see Dessie. Her holistic approach was exactly what I needed. Her hands on method has produced amazing results for me. I am a senior citizen and have challenging issues.
Mary D,
I have been seeing Dessie since January of 2025 for constant hip pain, since my visits my hip pain is now minimal and she has also helped improve my generalized mobility.

I highly recommend Dessie for wellness. I appreciate the opportunity to benefit from
her knowledge and skills. She is always positive and encouraging and listens patiently to my
concerns. Dessie provides the exercises to help alleviate the problems and takes the time to
explain how they work. She genuinely cares about her client’s recovery and wellness.

Dessie Fazzuoli is a gifted healer. I have been dealing with arthritis in my hands for two
decades. My fingers were becoming twisted like gnarled tree limbs, and were sore most of the time. My grip was weak, and I couldn’t get the top off anything! I was introduced to Dessie when she worked at a Physical Therapy Clinic in Sturbridge. My arthritis doctor had given me a course of treatment for OT, and told me I could go anywhere. I asked around, and my friends
told me about Dessie. I can honestly say her skills have changed my life. My fingers are slowly straightening out, and there is no pain in them! My grip is better, and I can often get the top off on the first try!
Lynn L,
I have been receiving body alignment sessions from Dessie for almost a year, and the results have been life-changing. She is extremely knowledgeable, dedicated, and truly an expert in her field. Since starting regular wellness sessions, my body feels great—my sciatica has completely resolved, and the numbness in my hands has disappeared. Each session leaves me feeling aligned, relieved, and supported. I highly recommend Dessie to anyone seeking effective, professional body alignment work.

I injured my left wrist in a fall walking on ice. The wrist was extremely sore with very little mobility or strength. I was sent for PT for six weeks with minimal improvement. Then I was sent for OT for 6 weeks which again resulted in minimal improvement. From there, I found a doctor
with multiple decades experience who worked on entire body work.
Some things improved but the wrist would feel a little better for a day or two then stiffen up again. Then I went to see Dessie Fazzuoli and my wrist was better. I was seeing both Dessie and the doctor. After seeing the improvement, the doctor said if you found someone who can make such a change so quickly, I should stick with her. I continue
to see Dessie and my wrist always has mobility and I have regained a lot of hand strength. It gets better after each session
I can attest to the abilities of Dessie Fazzuoli.
