Tammy has been helping me with my hyper mobility (or hyper flexibility) for over a year. I have pretty loose ligaments, and sometimes things pop out of joint, my hips when I go for long walks over uneven ground, my shoulders when I reach higher or in ways my body isn’t built for. Tammy is able to get them back in when they pop out, and we’ve been doing exercises every week that strengthen them and help prevent my hyper mobility from causing me pain. She has a vast understanding of the human body and the interactions between nerves, muscles, bones and ligaments. She has reduced my pain multiple

I spent years trying to figure out how to find my inner "balance". I have dug through multiple disciplines and approach on philosophy and all forms of education just trying to find & create myself. A jack of all trades here.
It's a shame I never took that healthcare related approach in my life & focus on it at a young age although I share that interest within me. Instead, I took a different route in my life.
It was only due to my injury leading up to facet syndrome and now a spinal curverture that I am now reconsidering my situation.
Tammy might not know it, but she is helping me alot here just

On numerous occasions over the past 6 years I have experienced deep muscle and neck strain sports injuries. Tammy helped regain pain free body function allowing me to get back to enjoying basketball, volleyball, soccer and other exercise activities. She has the expertise that allows her to identify the areas needing attention and how to apply massage techniques to relieve my pain and regain muscle function. I am fortunate to have Tammy in my life.
