"A short time ago, I visited MANAVA Health for a myofascial release session and found the entire process to be truly outstanding. While healing from a damaged ligament in my knee, I had improved significantly but lacked total flexibility.
Amy's work was incredible. She showed great empathy and carefully described why she was performing every movement. Her professional skills allowed me to regain nearly all my previous movement within just two visits, and I feel sure that I will soon be fully mobile once more.
I strongly suggest seeing Amy for anyone searching for skilled and kind professional treatment."
