At Vibe Bodywork, I am committed to helping you get rid of the chronic aches, pains, and physical dysfunctions that have been in your way of living the life that you love!

I have been in practice since 2002...  and have seen over and over again clients who come to me with health issues that nobody else has been able to help them with. And this, I believe, is because out of all of the orthopedic examinational testing techniques used to diagnose myoskeletal pains and dysfunctions, none of them are very good at detecting what I consider to be the main causes of most peoples' issues...  which are fibrosis, scar tissue, and connective tissue/fascial adhesions.

These types of "interferences" often cause biomechanical and circulatory restrictions, accumulate metabolic waste products and certain biochemical compounds that irritate the nerves, and cause chronic pain & dysfunction. They also can contribute to lack of sensation, muscle weakness, and inflexibility. 

These tissue restrictions will not go away on their own!

The only ways to identify them is for a very qualified practitioner to either manually find them with their hands, or to locate them using Ultrasound. Then, to get rid of them (remediation) they must use very sophisticated manual techniques, and in some cases, specific tools and physiotherapy devices, such as Shockwave.

This manual approach to restriction remediation tends to be the majority of work that I provide in my clinic. But beyond that, I also offer full-body general wellness treatments to help you achieve optimal health at levels that are far beyond what most people are aware is possible.

And my treatments are the best bang for your buck! 

With chronic pain cases, on average, there is at least 80% permanent improvement within 3-5 sessions. But some are completely remediated within the first or second treatment session.

After each treatment session, you must wait an average of 3-4 days to fully know how much permanent progress we have made. As long as we are making permanent progress, we keep going until all tissues are as fully remediated (smoothed out & re-normalized) as possible. 

So, whether you're looking to finally get rid of your chronic pain & dysfunction issues, increase your mobility & circulation, improve your sleep quality, boost your immunity, or simply live a healthier, more energetic lifestyle... Please browse my website to learn more about the services & classes that I provide, and the very effective products that I endorse.
