Ruth S.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I visited Shawna with extreme burning and pain in my L5 and L4. I truly believed I was headed for a major procedure. She was recommended by my massage therapist. After one hour of therapy the pain is gone. I can't put into words how she helped me. I'm pain-free feeling like I can go about my life. If you have pain go see see her!!! She's a game changer. She gave me exercises to do which will help with my body staying in line etc. Thank you Shawna Townsend!!!!

Shawna is truly a blessing and amazing! I originally was prescribed PT 10+ yrs ago after a car accident & when she worked for Cox. I was extremely excited when I figured out where she was today and have been seeing her since. I recently tried my therapy on the IR mat and that made a world of a difference! My body let go easier and faster, and it felt so nice that I don’t want to go back to the old way! My body has been feeling better and better after every visit with her and I thank her tremendously for everything she does for us!

I have been seeing Shawna for several months and because of her vast experience and knowledge, she has been able to provide me relief for some long term back and neck issues. She is a strong Christian lady that God has blessed with talents she is willing to share. I would highly recommend her.

I have been treated by Dr Shawna this year and have had tremendous benefit. Long term problems are going away like my shoulder that protruded out on my back. She helps me with neck pain, back pain or ribs I got out of place lifting stuff I shouldn’t have. She helps when I rotate my pelvis and it gives me low back and hip pain. The results are long lasting unlike the chiropractors I saw for decades. I’ve been to acupuncturist and other practitioners over the years but Dr Shawn’s has helped me the most with actual fixes. I tweaked my wrist and I knew to go see her and sure enough she fixed it. She fixed other things that stumped all the other specialists I saw. She can work on the whole body, head to toe. She has helped regulate my nervous system and vagus nerve. She has a lot of methods to help you. I can’t say enough, just go and see for yourself. I’m so grateful for her knowledge and healing! Thank you Dr Shawna!

I want to leave this review to encourage anyone that has physical pain to reach out to Dr. Shawna. She has the heart of a teacher and truly wants to help people live a better quality of life. If you are like me and understand surgery is painful and has lasting affects, this is the place to go! I do physical labor and have had work that has required repetitive motion. These things will break you down over time. I have had issues with my neck, shoulders, back, and my right hand going numb. She took the time to teach me how to stretch. She listens and is able to get to the source of the issue. Thank you Freedom From Pain!

Shawna has been a God-send! Almost two years ago, I was hit by a semi-truck. Even after seeing many therapists, I've struggled with pain and nerve issues on my left side. Shawna is helping me heal from that pain in ways the other therapists haven't been able to help. She has done brain, nerve, muscle, ligament, joint, organ and soft tissue work. She definitely deals with and is trained in whole body work! Her technique is gentle and very calming. I am so thankful for her years of experience, training, knowledge and faith in God. She's given me a restored faith that I can heal from the pain.
