“I have struggled with chronic pain and illness for the past 20 years, including Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, advanced fibromyalgia, and both types of arthritis. After an accident at the end of 2019 and then with the whole COVID craziness, I was a physical mess. I'd had little treatment after my accident due to COVID shutdowns and had resigned myself to pain being my 'unavoidable zone' in which I lived. It was miserable. I was on a strong pain management regiment and my quality of life had diminished. Even more so as I regained childhood trauma memories that left me with years of counseling ahead of me in progressive healing. 

I felt Tracy's presence before I saw her next to the table. The minute she laid her hands on me, I knew this was going to be different. At first, I found myself a little disappointed that the pressure was so gentle. I was used to the 'really deep' tissue massages that I felt I needed in order to help my body. As she explored and worked on my body in silence, she gently coaxed my muscles and soft tissue into deep release, and I realized I'd found something special.

She spent unhurried time going through my session and I never once felt she was rushed or worried about time. She then explained the theory behind OrthoBionomy and what to expect. She asked pertinent questions about my internal responses and left me to experience this bodywork mindfully and in silence, just as I prefer. Her level of knowledge is impressive, and her touch is divine. She has a healing touch, and she ministered to places in my body that had held tension for years! Her passion for what she does and her care for her clients was evident throughout my entire session.

As I arose after her treatment, I was actually carrying myself better. Things felt different, but lined up, and I wanted to weep with relief. The awkward feeling my body I was in now was void of pain! After just a few steps, the awkwardness disappeared and I felt lighter than I could remember, and I could literally feel no pain!
I don't understand it, but I don't need to, and TJ certainly does. Orth-Bionomy makes perfect sense and is based on science of Osteopathy.  It looks at the body as a whole and how everything in it is connected.  

UPDATE: I can't believe that I was sore the next 48 hours from such a light touch! Not a painful sore, and no bruising. Just the kind of 'hurts so good' when something that's hurt so bad for so long is finally moving. I did follow her advice for 3 days - tons of water, gentle movement like slow walks, and giving my body as much rest as possible for a couple of nights. I did all she suggested and it worked. It's now been almost a week and I'm still feeling more energy, less pain and easier movement with much less discomfort. I can't wait to get back! I found the key to my pain and even emotional tension, and I will not give it up. Save me space, TJ!”
