Live life uninterrupted by low back and knee pain.
Get relief and at-the-root healing with Dr. Stacy Oliveira, PT, DPT. Holistic physical therapy for high-achieving, ambitious, active adults in Enfield, CT.
You’ve had to stop your favorite activities because of nagging low back or knee pain—pushing through a run only to hobble home or skipping leg day because squats leave you limping. Maybe you’ve even given up chasing your kids because every movement feels like a battle. The pain isn’t just physical—it’s draining your energy, mood, and motivation.
Imagine running pain-free, feeling the breeze on your face as your body moves effortlessly. Picture hitting the gym without hesitation, knowing you won’t pay for it later with ibuprofen and ice packs. You’ll get back to the active life you love, feeling stronger, in control, and free from that constant ache.
At Optimal Health Solutions, I blend manual therapy with myofascial release and joint realignment. This hands-on, full-hour treatment focuses on finding and releasing the body’s underlying sources of pain, not just masking the symptoms. Think of me as a fusion of massage therapist, chiropractor, and physical therapist in one—working to help your body function as the amazing system it is.
With 9 years of experience and a deep respect for your body and your goals, I’ll provide expert guidance to help you recover and thrive.

"I had learned to live with a lot of pain in my body and had not realized the toll that it was taking on me physically and mentally. Stretching and strengthening at home has been critical to my recovery, but has been made possible through the education, body awareness and physical care that I receive from each visit. I used to use PT as a way to treat an injury or ailment. Now I find that utilizing it consistently has given me a much greater quality of life!"

"I am so grateful to have found Dr. Stacy. Her ability to balance my body is like nothing I’ve ever experienced before. As a very active person, I was used to dealing with daily soreness and muscle pain, plus overuse injuries. It’s incredible to say, but I just don’t have any of that now. Dr. Stacy is a delight to work with, very kind, personable and so knowledgeable. An incredible, cutting-edge, results-driven doctor."
