Massage Therapy

When I first came to Pierce Family Wellness I was struggling with healing from an ankle surgery due to a lacrosse injury. I was quite frustrated with the physical therapy that I had received. The physical therapist essentially gave me some balance exercises and sent me home. At Pierce Family Wellness I received an in-depth evaluation and individualized treatment program that got me on the field faster than I ever expected. After healing with the help of Pierce Family Wellness we went on to win the state championship in lacrosse. If you are looking to take your athletic ability to the next level while avoid future injuries Pierce Family Wellness is the place for you. I started working out with TJ when I was in my late forties through early fifties, and having lived with HIV infection nearly all my adult life, I wanted to lift to increase muscle mass, fight the effects of wasting and lipodystrophy caused by the HIV or the medications, or both, and of course become the gorgeous hunk all men want to be! In my early fifties, I actually started getting compliments (for the first time ever!) on my body -- for being fit, toned, and even ripped! He's a lifestyle of energy, education and a good common sense approach. Use him to the max as your trainer ... trust me, he is without parallel.”

TJ is a miracle worker. I came to him for a frozen shoulder and pinched nerves in my neck which caused shooting pain down my left arm. I had tried everything I could think of before he was recommended to me. I had tried PT with different people, dry needling, chiropractic adjustments, exercises galore and even PRP (platelet replacement procedure) to help my body try to heal itself. Nothing worked.

When I started seeing TJ at Pierce Family wellness my body was not balanced. Since starting my program I have become more balanced and a result of that has been that my back has strengthened.  I have noticed that my upper thoracic and neck alignment is better. I don’t think you could make a better choice than going with TJ.

He did simple diagnostics that quickly showed more than a few fundamental things that were off, that were affecting my entire body. We’re talking discovery in seconds here—not minutes or hours. He told me things no other trainer/therapist could ever articulate and, best of all, he has had a corrective solution for each of the discovered issues.The treatment I received at Pierce Family Wellness was better than any bone doctor I’ve encountered in the last couple of years—and I’ve been to Steadman Hawkins for two other injuries—fingers and ankle. I have received the highest level of manual therapy, corrective exercise, and fitness programming imaginable. I highly recommend Pierce Family Wellness to anyone looking to improve their life!

I was in a fairly good place, but needed better direction for my workouts. I’ve had excellent results. I’m more fit, have better posture and better flexibility. I’ve also learned a great deal more about nutrition what an excellent learning experience, plus being LOTS of fun. I think that everyone will benefit from working the programs. The workouts changes, this is no opportunity for mental or physical boredom.
