EXCELLENT Based on 218 reviews Posted on Google Yayaan ManagementTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went to bed one night and woke up unable to move my left arm. The next night, trying to protect the left side, I slept more heavily on my right side and woke up with both arms in pain at a level 9 out of 10. I finally went for an ultrasound in Playa del Carmen. The doctors stopped counting after finding more than five tears between both shoulders, arms, and scapular area. Seven weeks of physical therapy followed, three sessions a week and while I appreciated the effort, I experienced very little true relief. Then I made an appointment with Emily. The session was brutal in the way real therapeutic body work often is. Not relaxing. Not spa-like. Not the kind of treatment where you simply lay on a table and listen to music while someone rubs lotion on your back. This was precise, knowledgeable, intentional work on injury, tension patterns, inflammation, compensation, and dysfunction throughout the body. And for the first time since the injury, I walked out feeling genuine relief. Not temporary comfort. Relief. In one session with Emily, I felt more improvement than I had after seven weeks of conventional therapy. I have not returned to that same level of pain since seeing her, and I immediately booked my second appointment. There is a massive difference between massage and body work. Massage can feel good for an hour. Real body therapy changes how your body functions. It addresses the root patterns, the guarding, the restrictions, the injuries your body has been compensating around for months or years. If you are an athlete, chronically stressed, physically overworked, injured, healing, or simply living in pain, do not mistake this for a standard massage appointment. This is therapeutic body reworking by someone who deeply understands the body. Emily is doing restoration work. And frankly, after what I experienced, I cannot recommend her highly enough.Posted on Google Jenni BlackTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Emily is by far, THE BEST RMT/soft tissue expert in this area of the country. I've had a multitude of injuries and therapists over the years and she is the only one I allow to treat me here! I've referred her to high-level athletic friends who consistently return for her treatments. Absolutely the best top notch world class 👌🏼 worth every dollar!Posted on Google francisco javier carrillo miramontesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lo mejor que puedes esperar de un tratamientoPosted on Google Ebone WalkerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I saw Emily twice doing my time in PDC. I have terrible deeps knots and triggers. No one has ever released any triggers until now. I’m so grateful I found her. Her knowledge of the body is amazing and she worked extremely hard to provide me with some relief. The best I’ve felt in years. I will see her everytime I come back to PDC. I’ve spent thousands on all types of massages when I could have just come to her. If you’re in pain and can’t find relief definitely go see Emily while you’re in Playa!!!!Posted on Google Rebecca CombeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wow. This is life changing treatment. I have lived with chronic pain most of my life from being extremely tense and one session I feel like a new woman. I’m now investing in weekly sessions to tackle my whole body. I’ve had two 1.5 hr sessions one on my pelvis hips and glutes and one on my neck and shoulders. I even see a difference and feel incredibly different . Next up is Jaw and shoulders. I will make a review on the longer term changes but want to assure you you truly get what you pay for and this is worth it’s weight in God! Don’t delay if you live with chronic pain, see Emily! Emily is so warm and welcoming and truly such a joy. Thanks Emily excited to go on this journey with you.Posted on Google Diane RiouxTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Service 5 étoiles pour Émily qui a des super pouvoirs avec ses mains! En plus d'être gentille et attentionnée, elle est très compétente ! Je la recommande chaudement pour vos maux de cou et autres douleurs!Posted on Google Alex McLTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Emily was amazing, she knows how the body works and reached all the delicate or complicated spots not other therapists know how to reach. When you have a body ache that requires reaching deeper layers of tension I would highly recommend a session.Thank youPosted on Google adam smithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Emily is just a wonderful healer. She was so thoughtful as she listened to all the factors that went into my situation, and then she was very effective at targeting all the areas that were applicable to me. No fluff, no extra, just straight to business. It felt wonderful and I had a great release afterwards! Wonderful myofacial work.Posted on Google Brad DeCorteTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely Amazing. Life changing.
