Body Reform has been so beneficial to the well-being of our entire household (2 adults and 4 children as clients). We have all had incredible results from Shannon’s expertise and knowledge. This is and will continue to be money well spent in our lives. I personally couldn’t have gotten through frozen shoulder without his experience in treating such a terrible ailment.
