Testimonials

Dear Kerrie,

A brief note to thank you again.
Recall I had been referred to you by a fellow triathlete who suggested you could help me to stay injury free. I had been ignoring the importance of stretching and flexibility training, and delayed contacting you. But when the pain from a previous neck injury flared up, I called you to schedule an initial evaluation.
Expecting a massage session, I was surprised when your focus was on stretching and core strengthening exercises. Your evaluation addressed my whole body, not just my sore neck and back. After that session I had already begun to feel better. The foot pain which I had come to accept as a part of daily life had started to subside. You also had piqued my interest me with your description of Active Isolated Stretching. This merited further investigation. I called the next day and scheduled 5 more sessions.
I may never be a fast runner, but through your help I have become faster, and enjoy running more, because now I better understand the importance and know the proper technique to warm up and stretch. I finished my 2006 triathlon and road racing season feeling strong. Two weeks after the New York City Marathon I was back to running, the fastest recovery I've ever had after a marathon.
With your help I have also gained new body awareness, and a better understanding of the relationship and interconnection of all my parts. This is sure to help me to improve my swimming, cycling and running form as I train for next season.
Through all this very serious and important work you've always kept it light and fun. You might put me through my paces with a hard workout, but it’s always enjoyable and leaves me wanting to come back soon. Beyond the flexibility training, your massage helped to eliminate the inevitable nagging niggles, creaks and stress.
The massage and flexibility training have been quite literally 'life changing” for me. Thanks again for all you’ve taught and given me!
Best regards,
Tom Newman

	Client Testimonials
	"The stretching I do is essential. I find a huge difference between the Flexibility Training with Active Isolated Stretching that you do and the regular static stretching I used to do and have done my entire career as a dancer. The Flexibility Training that you do for me brings in more blood flow to the muscles, which allows me to perform at a much higher level." Davis Robertson - Professional Dancer, Master Teacher and Choreographer Associate Director of the Joffrey Ballet School, Broadway show credits - "Moving Out" and performing with the NYC Lincoln Center - Metropolitan Opera
	"Kerrie - you are truly the greatest!" Robert Harris - former defensive tackle 97 of the NFL - NY Giants
	"The Best Massage Therapist - Period!" Glen Sullivan - Driver - NASCAR - Busch Series
	"Throughout my career as a professional modern dancer I have worked with many massage therapists and have tried countless body therapies and strengthening techniques to both heal and prevent injury. In just a short time working with Kerrie, I not only felt relief from my injury but found a new awareness of my entire body and how to achieve maximum strength and power within the injury prone muscle groups. Ms. Flynn is gifted in her ability to teach athletes and dancers about their instruments while relaxing and rejuvenating them at the same time." Patricia Kenny - former principal dancer with "The Parsons Dance Company" and Founder and Artistic Director of "Patricia Kenny Dance Collection".
	"Thank you for helping me recover from what we in the Sky Diving world call "a very hard opening". My neck and back are finally back to normal, so I can resume what I love the most - jumping out of planes from 14,000 feet." David Ness, D.C. - The Flying Chiropractor
	"Your healing hands, laughter and openness has meant so much to me through this healing journey that I've been on. Thank you for listening and sharing, especially being open to the range of emotions ready to emerge. You have many characteristics I wish to emulate. Thank you especially for helping me gain movement, flexibility and strength again in my body - which I am now taking back into my life." Rhonda N. back to top
	"All the trouble spots you worked on today are pain free. If there were a hall of fame for LMT's, you would be in it. You're marvelous, you're fabulous and everything else in- between. You're the BEST!" William C.
	"In March 04, age 40, I pinched a nerve in my neck while playing with my children. For the next 3 months, the pain got progressively worse and began to greatly affect my daily life. My right arm was curled up and my left leg was being dragged; think Boris Karloff in The Mummy. At this time, Chiropractic care was sought but based on my medical insurance a Doctors referral was needed. When visiting the Doctor, he recommended that I speak with a Neurologist. An appointment was made with the Neurologist while I started Chiropractic treatment. The Neurologist sent me on a series of X-rays, Cat scans and MRI’s. After reviewing the film, the Neurologist initially thought that I may a have a tumor on my spine and sent me on more exams. Meanwhile the Chiropractor thought I might have MS. The Neurologist then referred me to an Orthopedic Surgeon or one who does surgery of the spine. When visiting this Doctor, he diagnosed me with Mylopathy, he said was common in men 20-30 years my senior. Immediate surgery was recommended, which would entail, removing 4 degenerative discs in my neck, bone would be taken from my pelvic area be grafted into my neck to hold replacement discs and a steel plate would then be added for stability which would be held in place by a series of screws. A follow up surgery would then have to be performed at a later date yet the reasons for such I cannot recall. The Doctor explained that the discs were pressing into my spine and the pressure would have to be relieved. Since there was spinal cord damage, my symptoms could either improve or digress, there would be no way to know. My life would change drastically and it would be immediate. I would be unable to drive or lift for 3 months, sports of any nature would be a thing of the past and I would loose upwards of 40% mobility in my neck. Through basically complaining to friends and associates, networking and referrals I met Kerrie Flynn. I was very skeptical of massage therapy and alternative medicine or therapy in general. Considering my options, the choices were limited, so this was the way I went. Within one session the pain was gone and the affects were amazing; suddenly I could walk up right, perform tasks without thought and my stress level or level of stress was gone. Through the on going sessions I started to understand the value of stretching, exercising, vitamins and basically “thinking outside the box”. The weather is warm today, I just got back from having a water gun fight with my 2 sons and plan to go bike riding tonight. Tomorrow I’ll be at the gym as I do 3 times a week, this seems to be a complete contradiction to the life that the Medical community described to me only a year ago. For this I owe Kerrie Flynn a world of thanks." -John Ward June, 2005 back to top
