imFlexible Testimonials
I have been a video game developer for the past 5 years. Working long hours on my computer and past surgical problems have created physical pain for me, especially in my lower back, hips, knees, and neck. The pain got so bad that I thought it would surely warrant a hospital visit. I felt like those areas were wound as tightly as a bow string.
I went to see Ann-Marie and she immediately went to work in assessing the problem and describing what she found. She has an expertise level that exceeds the many medical technicians, doctors, and therapists that I have tried in the past. She actually fixed my problem!!! After many years of "band-aids", she discovered that my left leg is a tad bit shorter than my right which throws my whole body out of alignment. She made an insert for my left shoe and I've been wearing it for a week now. There is no pain and I am standing straight for the first time in years!
Her newest book Staying Flexible has been a great help to me in helping me to understand and keep my own body pain free. I highly recommend it!

I have run for fitness for many years and in the last two years I have begun to run the half marathon. Last year during training my right hip and ankle were in so much pain that I could barely continue. I went to Ann- Marie for help. She lined up my hips and taught me how to keep myself in line through the techniques in this book. The exercises are simple and straightforward and they had an immediate, positive effect on my running. This year I have integrated these techniques into my regular routine. After each training run I use the therapy ball and stretches and I am training completely pain-free. My exercise routine is so much more effective as I feel it actually adjusts my spine and keeps me aligned. I recommend "Staying Flexible" to anyone who deals with back or hip pain as part of their daily life.

Because I am constantly on the road with lots of flights and different hotel beds, I often developed very bothersome, lower back pain. Ann-Marie's treatments have addressed and corrected the pain every time; sometimes with immediate results. And when I have followed the exercises she has given me, the problems have gone away on their own. Since she first treated me several years ago, even after intense travel for weeks, my back has been consistently better. I heartily recommend her!

For forty years my body had compensated for a misaligned pelvis resulting from a fall as a child. After having tried conventional medical approaches as well as chiropractic to no avail, I was finally helped by Ann-Marie. Through her trained eyes and hands she was able to recognize and correct my problem, setting me on a road to relief from pain!

After consistently incorporating the stretches and the techniques that Ann- Marie taught me, I began to feel less pain in my lower back and my posture began to improve. The main thing I noticed was that when I stay consistent with the stretches and techniques, my flexibility and back health overall improves.

I suffered from chronic knee pain for the past ten to fifteen years. After treatment, I was re-aligned and have ceased to suffer from this ailment. I have been pain-free for over a year now thanks to the Manual Therapy I received from Ann-Marie.

As a result of my scoliosis and whiplash injury, I have been in and out of physical therapy many times. Standard physical therapy is always the same: stimulation, heat, exercise and ice; the usual band-aid administered. Ann-Marie is far above the run of the mill therapist. Her non- conventional, hands-on techniques focus on releasing healing and soothing problematic areas with professional therapeutic massage, pressure and/or stretching. Patient comfort and successful maintenance are her priorities and the results are wonderful: comfort, mobility and less medication, plus empowerment to self-treat and maintain, resulting in finally, a pain-free existence. She has even designed equipment for other specific problem resolutions.

I tried several remedies and treatments over many years after my four car accidents. I was determined to find out WHY I was in such excruciating head, neck, shoulder, back and butt pain. I had tried chiropractic, physical therapy, neurology, medicines and injections over a period of eight years with no results. They always told me that nothing was wrong with me and everything was fine. One day I went to my doctor, once again trying to find some lasting relief of all my pain. I felt hopeless and I was still in excruciating pain. He referred me to Ann-Marie. Immediately I was impressed. Someone actually understood and cared that I was in pain, and wanted to help me. After the first treatment, I had less pain in my head and was able to bend over without pain, something I had not done in eight years. It has continued to get better and better with continued treatment and I feel like I’m twenty again!
