My son was experiencing tightness and inflammation from sports so we decided to give this a try. The treatment was gentle and painless and he left feeling that he had more range of motion and he felt so relaxed and free of pain. Allison was great with helping him understand the treatment and making him feel so at ease. We will definitely come back again!
Allison is amazing! I unfortunately experienced a major health crisis in my normally healthy body. This crisis has resulted in numerous body parts not functioning correctly due to a broken collarbone, then a frozen shoulder, and severe nerve damage in different limbs. Allison has helped me overcome so much, and her sincere, gentle, caring manner is much appreciated. I have felt truly invested in. Allison is intuitive and empathetic. I have felt supported by her in each step of my journey. Just try finding someone else that is as gifted in the John F. Barnes myofascial release therapy -- it's not an easy task!! And the only reason, I've looked is because I'm not a Sarasota resident. But traveling to see Allison is a must, and those in Sarasota have no reason to look any further! Understanding our fascia and the relief from pain and entrapment one can experience with this therapy can be life changing. I've had a doctor wanting me to have surgery, but I believe working with Allison will help me avoid such a drastic measure. Plus a visit to her means time on the Bemer mat!
Allison is nurturing, intuitive, knowledgeable about John Barnes myofascial release techniques. I think my favorite thing about her is just her nurturing energy. When I go see her I just feel safe and cared for. I went from basically locked up shoulders to being able to lift things and feel every muscle in my shoulder front back and middle. This is huge. Before I would get an automatic migraine every time I lifted anything heavy. Honestly I could go on and on about Allison. She can help you release old emotional traumas and physical traumas without having to suffer through them again. She can help you to have fluid movement in your body. Please don’t take my appointment time but go see her.
Allison is a truly gifted and talented myofascial message therapist. Apart from her skills at addressing and relieving my extremely painful hip, she is kind and considerate, listens attentively to your problems and shows real concern and empathy. Most importantly, she is extremely effective at providing relief from pain and restoring balance and functionality. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking help with pain and looking to avoid needless and potentially harmful surgery.
Allison is a very talented therapist and healer. I’ve been seeing her for two years for neck and back pain, and since working with her I’ve had far less flare ups, better range of motion and in general less tension in my body. At first, I saw her every week and now I only need to go in for a “tune up”. I’ve seen several other myofascial release therapists and tried other massage modalities and no one else has compared to Allison’s level of care and the techniques she uses. Most importantly, she really listens to you when you sit down with her before she works on you: she is kind, compassionate and a pleasure to spend an hour of your day with. I’m very grateful to have found Allison.
