San Diego Myofascial Release - La Mesa, California

Graham

As someone who has struggled with decades of pain, I arrived cautiously optimistic. I was referred to Shannon by a friend whom gifted me a session but I had many questions upfront, like what the hell is myofascial release!? I did a bit of research and came to the realization that this is likely the kind of treatment that I overlooked in the past. Having tried massage therapists, chiropractors, and inversion tables, I figured this was worth a shot.
Shannon welcomed a nervous stranger with welcoming energy and began a series of questions that meant that she truly was trying to discover the root of the pain, not just to treat the immediate symptoms. Shannon's eye for obvious physical discrepancies in my posture were impressive. Once my session began, I felt immediately at ease and was eventually able to gain a range of motion that I didn't think I could ever regain. Results may vary. Shannon encouraged a dialog throughout the session that made me feel like she was really trying to understand the issues at hand.
For those of you reading this review that are skeptical, I highly encourage you to seek out this more permanent resolution to pain. No pills, no temporary relief, just enabling your body to reset its problem areas.
Shannon, thank you for putting me at ease and making me feel heard, not just listened to. I appreciate the thoughtfulness in your questions and the disarming nature of your practice.

I truly can’t recommend myofascial release with Shannon enough! After struggling with fibromyalgia pain for the past few years and being on medication, I never thought I’d be able to feel like myself again. But after working with Shannon, I’m almost completely off my medication, and my pain is nearly nonexistent (I know it sounds too good to be true and I’m shocked).

I did go through a cleansing period where my pain actually felt worse, but having back to back sessions allowed it to quickly pass. On the table, I could feel the pain and sensations moving all around my body (and afterwards). I also processed some past traumas that I didn’t even realize were connected to where the pain was. It felt like true healing on so many levels.

I first heard about myofascial release during my yoga teacher training and was immediately curious about its benefits. Honestly, this experience has exceeded all my expectations. I finally feel so hopeful that I can reclaim the version of me I thought I’d lost to fibromyalgia… If you’re on the fence about trying this, just go for it - you really won’t regret it! Shannon’s expertise and compassion make all the difference. Thank you so so much

San Diego Myofascial Release is my go-to for all my aches and pains or just a monthly tune-up. Sharon is a true professional, knows her stuff, listens and is compassionate. I am a true believer that the good Lord has directed her in this profession for a reason as her hands work wonders with myofascial release. The tranquility, soundscape, room temperature and cleanliness of her office and workspace is just superb. The atmosphere puts me in heavenly state of being. At the end of each session, I am rejuvenated, standing tall, walking straight and on top of the world. Thank you for all you do and keep up your outstanding work!

I had such an awesome experience with Shannon! I immediately noticed a ton of difference in how stiff I was prior to going in with low back pain. She was so sweet, gentle, and funny! She is a true healer and I cannot wait to see her again. It is so amazing to learn more about fascia and how everything in the body is connected!

Shannon has a gift. I have struggled for a long time with a list of issues related to a connective tissue disorder, and chronic illness that at times left me unable to move much and caused pain and tightness I couldn’t resolve with anything. The first time I met her, I realized I had stumbled upon something different and profound in my healing journey.
Not only has she helped me make immense progress in my healing journey, she is able to connect on a much deeper level that almost defies normal communication and connection. What I hope if you’re reading this is that you give this modality a try, because it is unlike anything you will likely come across, and definitely not like having just any practitioner work on you.
This is soft, gentle, and almost might seem as if it couldn’t possibly be the answer to the restriction and pain in your body. But it is the most significant thing I have done to regain movement and release and I am forever grateful I was led to her. Shannon is a very special person and you will see healing with her.

Healing hands! In a nutshell that’s the best way to articulate her service. I was apart of a major production and hurt my shoulder pretty bad so much so that it interfered with my performance. After explaining my situation Shannon then took me through a series of movements and stretches that released a lot of the pressure and pains that I was experiencing. Without her services I would certainly not have been able to continue with the show that I was apart of. If I could rate with 10 stars I would. Amazing service!

About seven years ago, I herniated a disk in my neck. As a result, I had lost a lot of flexibility to where I was unable to move my head from side to side without great discomfort. Shannon worked on me for about 45 minutes and now my range of motion has increased exponentially. The tightness has gone and my neck has not had this kind of mobility in years. Thank you!

WOW!! Shannon helped me with neck & shoulder pain that I couldn't fix thru stretching, .massage, chiro. The release was so deep that it kept releasing even after and throughout the evening! She also released scar tissue over an old surgery with hardware. I CAN STRAIGHTEN MY ARM NOW! I couldn't for 20 years! Thank you so much Shannon!
