BACK PAIN

"I began feeling sharp, constant pain in my hamstring. I was active in athletics, so I thought I had just pulled a muscle. For 3 months, the pain only got worse and I finally went for an MRI which showed a lot of compression and damage to a disc in my low back. Several months of physical therapy, epidural injections and a multitude of other treatments provided no relief. I was in excruciating pain for almost a year and my life was miserable. I was on the brink of having back surgery, when I was referred to Rebecca Saindon for Neuromuscular Massage Therapy. I admit I was skeptical that her PostureFitness exercises and massage techniques would be effective, since all else had failed. But in only 3 weeks my pain was significantly reduced. I was able to function normally and sleep well. After 3 more weeks my pain was completely gone. It is now several years since I completed my therapy with Rebecca and I still have no pain." ~Jim Catino, RCA Label Group

"I have been suffering with bulging discs for over a year now but was suffering intensely for about 10 months when someone mentioned a neuromuscular massage therapist. I had never heard of one. I've had 3 shots and been to a chiropractor, but over this whole time, the most relief I've had is from Rebecca! It actually gave me a better outlook on my life, it was very depressing to think I would be in pain the rest of my life, not wanting surgery! I highly recommend this place! ~ W.H. 2019

"Working with NNC has improved my quality of life so much! I hurt my back and they have reduced my pain dramatically and helped me prevent reinjury. Knowledgeable, kind, and super helpful. I highly recommend Nashville Neuromuscular Center." -K.S.

"After two car wrecks and 20 years of periodic misery, I believed my condition was just something I'd have to learn to live with the rest of my life. The Nashville Neuromuscular Center was able to quickly assess the primary cause of my chronic pain, and provide a measure of relief in the first session. Over the past several months, I have seen continuous improvement to the point of not having to fear the dreaded spasms which used to drop me on the floor. After having seen a series of neurosurgeons, doctors, chiropractors and therapists, NNC was the only place able to provide the clinical care as well as long term guidance on specific exercise that has me very hopeful for a future without overwhelming back pain." ~Bill Karlson

"I was at the end of my rope after spending weeks with near-debilitating muscle pain from a large number of knots throughout my lower back and hips. I went to massage therapists, my doctor, a chiropractor, and physical therapy, but nothing worked. After one session with Rebecca Saindon, for the first time in over a month, I was able to walk around with a relatively normal posture and without significant pain. By the third day after my visit, I actually felt like myself again. I am really impressed with her professionalism, knowledge, and willingness to help. After all the time and money I spent using more mainstream methods of treatment, I was glad to find someone who takes a systemic approach to the body. Rebecca's specific knowledge of neuromuscular therapy was EXACTLY what I needed. In one one-hour session, she did more for my back pain than anyone else! It's now been over three months and I have not had any pain. I truly appreciate everything you have done for me, Rebecca." ~Lee Bateman, BioMimetic Therapeutics, Inc

"I was a walking, talking wreck when I showed up in Rebecca Saindon's 4th floor office one muggy summer's day. A veteran marathon myself, I had been injured and unable to run for weeks and weeks. I'd gone through the runner's litany of usual suspects seeking relief--PTs, massage therapists, voodoo doctors, othopedes, the full lot. Not a darn thing worked. Then Rebecca put her hands on me. Three quick sessions and voila, the proverbial clouds of pain were whisked away across the sky, and I was out on the trails again. A short time later, I knocked off a hilly trail marathon outside Canberra, Australia. I credit Rebecca 100% with making that race possible. And I've continued to see her, quite happily since then, for other aches, pains and more serious issues. 'Nuff said. She's the best." ~Willy Stern, Journalist

'I began having pain in my side after the birth of my first child. It wasn't incapacitating, but it was pain that I felt almost daily. My discomfort was also obvious to those around me. Friends and loved ones would ask me why I was sitting a certain way or in a certain position. It was always an attempt to alleviate my pain. I had determined that this was a pain that I would live with and if anything, it would probably only worsen with age. Then a friend recommended the Nashville Neuromuscular Center to my husband and me. After only a few visits, my pain was virtually gone. I am amazed at how much better I feel -- remarkably better. As I continue to do the exercises they taught me, I have true hope that my pain will never again be a problem. I think NNC is great! ~Sally H.

"Great job-exactly the pain relief I needed. Visiting from Arizona and they worked on my back spasms and allowed me to keep working for the customer. Recommend them - professional and knowledgeable." ~Steve W

"I spent three years in severe pain, trying everything I knew to find relief--chiropracter, massage, physical therapy, acupuncture. Nothing worked until I came to the Nashville Neuromuscular Center. Thanks to Rebecca Saindon, I can exercise again, sleep soundly, and sit without hurting. Thank you, NNC!!" Jana Joustra Davis Health Corporation of America

"Two months ago, after having severe one-sided SI joint pain for the past 12 months, I was referred to Rebecca Saindon at the Nashville Neuromuscular Center. I have undergone approximately 5 massage therapies in conjunction with acupuncture and yoga exercises. Having had prior 2 SI injections, physical therapy, and drug treatment without improvement. Since beginning this 'alternative" regimen I have had significant pain relief and been able to greatly reduce the amount of pain medication required." ~ J. A., 2006 (Orthopedic physicians confirmed Rebecca's suspicions that this was not actually an SI joint problem. J. had hip surgery and returned to NNC in 2009 to relieve post rehabilitation pain.)

HIP PAIN AND KNEE PAIN

"Working with the staff at Nashville Neuromuscular Center (NNC) was a life-changing experience. I can't account for all that I've learned, developed, and healed because I went to NNC for help with what I referred to as "the pain in my butt." The NNC staff solved the complex mystery, educated me, treated me, and created an individualized plan that is helping me move back into the natural alignment my body was designed to maintain. The changes are dramatic. I can effortlessly engage muscles that I didn't know I had in the beginning. I can't believe the improvement in my strength, flexibility, and stamina… even my yoga teacher asked what I was doing differently. Every week more people tell me how different I look. "Something has changed," they say. I look taller, thinner, more healthy. Thank you NNC!!" ~Christy Farr, Life Coach

"I had chronic knee, hip and back pain for 15 years. My daughter introduced me to massage which felt great but didn't really change my situation in the long run. I kept trying different neuromuscular massage therapists in Nashville, but it was only when I worked with Rebecca and the Nashville Neuromuscular Center that things began to really change for the better. The neuromuscular therapists at NNC seem to have a knowledge and understanding I did not find anywhere else. With their help I am now walking with ease and sleeping without pain. I highly recommend Nashville Neuromuscular Center." - D. Bright

"I was referred to Rebecca at the Nashville Neuromuscular Center after dealing with very painful lower right leg pain for over a year. I had been told to accept the pain as something I would have to deal with since "serious" issues had been ruled out. Rebecca immediately started working with me with several methods, stretching, neuro massage therapy, and kinesio tape. No kidding, after the first visit I was pain free. Rebecca told me that it would take a little time, and it turned out she was right. The pain came back, but not as bad, and then continued to lessen over the next 3-4 weeks until it was gone. I visited Rebecca once weekly. I am now pain free, and forever grateful that I took this step. Please don't accept what others tell you about living with pain until you have explored your pain with NNC and Rebecca. This is a highly professional, personal, and caring business that LISTENS to you when you talk. Thank you Rebecca, for making such a difference in my quality of life!" ~Sandy M. 2011

(Note: Seems everyone else was working on Sandy's leg. We found the problem to be in her back. Nashville Neuromuscular Center treats both the pain and the SOURCE of the pain. That made all the difference.)

"I came to the NNC with chronic pain in my sides and hips that kept me from typing, washing dishes or walking for more than a block. Doctors had not found a cause or an effective treatment. Rebecca Saindon was able to trace the pain to its source and I had significant relief after a couple of sessions. I would highly recommend Rebecca and the NNC to anyone, especially if other therapies haven't worked." - Jennifer Barnett, Journalist

I came to Nashville Neuromuscular Center with a right hip problem. My hip was catching and causing pain, while inhibiting my movement. My therapist Rebecca Saindon worked on me and resolved my problem in a few visits. I continued to see her for significant tightness in my thoracic region on my back. I'm happy to say I was able to get significant relief! I'm so grateful! ~Laurie B 2019

"For 14 years, half my life, I suffered from hip pain. I had seen several doctors and had no satisfactory results or explanations for the pain. As time went on the hip pain became more frequent and much more severe. Still X-rays and MRI did not show significant damage to the joint. Physical therapy had not helped and the current doctor could only offer a surgery that could potentially make the problem worse. My sister, an occupational therapist, suggested that I try Neuromuscular Massage Therapy and she found the Nashville Neuromuscular Center for me. From my first session with Rebecca Saindon, I experienced drastic improvements. Not only did my pain subside, but I also noticed huge improvements in my ability to move, as well as a lot more energy. Further sessions built on this framework and improved my problem even more. It has been about 2 months since my last session and I still feel great! ~ Lynn Samuelson, Vanderbilt Medical Researcher

"I found the Nashville Neuromuscular Center at a time when I was worried that my lack of mobility due to back, knee, and foot pain would severely limit my ability to do the things I wanted to do. Rebecca Saindon worked me out of severe pain and then began to work on a progressive strengthening program. Without NNC, I believe my life would be much more limited today. I couldn't recommend NNC more." Gayle Ray

FOOT PAIN AND ANKLE PAIN

"Rebecca, What a difference in my feet! You are a miracle worker. Thank you so much. I’m glad I have several sessions already scheduled because I cannot go back to the pain I was in!!! Hope someone “makes your day” today like you have mine, ~Mary Baker

"After suffering with plantar fasciitis and other muscle pain for almost three years, and being more discouraged than I can say, I finally found relief through Rebecca Saindon at Nashville Neuromuscular Center. I'm crazy about her because she wouldn't give up on helping me. If one technique or exercise didn't fit my ability, she would pull another from her bank of knowledge. My results with her were so good that I continue to see her for what I now say is 'regular maintenance.' I'm grateful to Rebecca and to my wonderful doctor for telling me about her." ~Jane M.

"Therapist was prompt, friendly, professional. She explained treatment rationale and procedure. Used full hour with no sense of being rushed. My pain was relieved fully." ~George B.

I was suffering from plantar fasciitis and went to see Rebecca. She was very professional. She treated me for a few visits and now I am free of pain!!! I cannot say enough good things about this business and Rebecca! I highly recommend Nashville Neuromuscular! I promise you will be glad you called on Rebecca! ~Christy C.
