Total Approach Therapy
Having had major back surgery ten years ago and just recently a hip replacement, I am certainly much better today than if I had not had these surgeries. However, I still have pain - chronic pain. I have tried various ways to manage my pain over the years with little to no "lasting" success.
We recently relocated to MA and prior to moving here, my doctor had suggested trying to find a therapist who specialized in accupressure and cranial sacral massage. I was fortunate to meet Marilyn who has years of experience and expertise in these areas and still continues to take courses to better her skills. She is professional, personable and caring. I feel fortunate to have Marilyn as part of my pain management team. She is making a difference!
