with the knowledge and professionalism of the therapists, and they have consistently delivered superior
results for our clients." Basics and Beyond About
TMJ pain: "I
suffered from severe pain in my jaw due to TMJ. I was not able to eat anything that had to be chewed and could hardly open
my mouth. My orthodontist tried to treat me with different night guards and finally sent me to an oral surgeon who of course
suggested surgery. I started to do my own research on how to treat TMJ pain and I found the Nashville Neuromuscular Center.
I made an appointment for neuromuscular massage with Rebecca Saindon, who started to work on the muscles of my jaw and neck.
I had immediate relief and within a few weeks I was back to eating carrots! I still see Rebecca once a month and would recommend
her to anyone with any pain problems." ~Christine Johnson, CPA "I
would wake up in tears with pain in my jaw. Couldn't eat anything that required any chewing. My dentist had not been able
to do anything to relieve the pain or help me open my mouth any wider. During a visit to Knoxville, my friend Rebecca Saindon
convinced me to let her work on the muscles of my neck and jaw. I had immediate relief that day and over the next 6 weeks,
I would drive to NNC from Knoxville, knowing my help was only 200 miles away. Rebecca worked on me a total of 4 times and
taught me how to self-initiate early intervention techniques to prevent the onset of any flare ups. After the 4th treatment,
the pain was completely gone. It's been 4 years now and my TMJ problem hasn't returned. I eat normally and can even enjoy
a good steak." ~Debby LovinBuuck, Social worker About Voice & Vocal Chords: "I am a Christian recording artist and have been performing professionally since I was a young
girl. My voice is how I make my living. I went through a surgery recently and had to be put under general anesthesia. Ten
days later I went into the recording studio and sang for a new project. I could tell my voice was simply not 100%. It was
determined that my vocal cords were healthy and there was no lasting effect from the anesthesia. My doctor suggested massage.
I have gone to Rebecca Saindon several times for other issues but this time she wanted to focus on the muscles in my neck
and specifically around the larynx. This was definitely a new experience. After just two sessions my voice became stronger
and the muscle tension decreased
dramatically. She did an incredible job and I would highly recommend her for singers
or those who use their voices frequently in their professions. ~Elizabeth Montgomery 
About Hip 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 refered 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 (read full comment) "I was in a constant state of pain. My leg and buttock were so
tender I couldn't even sit. I had torn my hamstring and 20 years of bodywork had made little change in my pain. Keith McCord
slowly unraveled one aspect of my muscle tightness after another. With each release he gave me exercises to strengthen or
stretch the muscle he had released from it's prison of pain. I sit evenly and comfortably now. I am gradually rehabilitating
my body to full strength and regaining stamina with Keith's help. I thank God for Keith's incredible skills."
Susan
Bradley,
Physician's Assistant
& HCA Attorney "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, The Tennessean
"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 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
was first treated by Keith McCord at NNC for two issues: one was an IT band injury that had been plaguing me for 4 years and
the other was ongoing back pain as a result of my work where I travel all week carrying a heavy briefcase. He is the best
NMT I have ever been treated by. He has been able to reduce the IT band pain entirely and to control the back pain significantly.
In fact, my back pain would go away if I did not reinjure it each week when I travel. I would recommend Keith to anyone with
any pain problems, but especially to anyone with a running or athletic injury since he really understands these in a way so
many doctors and other therapists don't.
He has also treated my mother successfully. She has knee problems from her weight
and a car accident several years ago. She is very skeptical of anyone who is not a medical doctor, but after one visit to
Keith, she was feeling better and wanted more treatment. Since she lives in Oak Ridge, Keith helped her find an NMT there."

"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!!

"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
"Pain
was a constant in my life. I had forgotten what it felt like to feel good. Now after only three weeks, working with Rebecca
Saindon at the Nashville Neuromuscular Center, I feel normal and I have the tools to use at home to continue feeling good.
After 20+ years of pain, this is truly a miracle in my eyes."
~Sandy Swofford "I
received treatment at NNC for hip and knee pain with Keith McCord and Michelle Baier. The pain in my leg was recurring and
miserable. My session with Keith and Michelle immediately alleviated 70 percent of my discomfort and after a week of performing
the recommended exercises I was completely free of pain. I continue with the exercises on a daily basis and have not had another
flare up. Keith and Michelle made a detailed postural analysis prior to my table work. I knew I was in expert hands and benefiting
from some real detective work. The massage was thorough and extremely gentle. Following the treatment they made another comparative
postural analysis to assess my progress. Their communication skills are superb, compassionate and good humored. I have recommended
NNC to patients from my own acupuncture practice."
~Mark Shprintz, Licensed Acupuncturist
About Corrective Exercise:
(see
Nashville Neuromuscular Posture Fitness ) About Vertigo/Dizziness: "I woke up one morning with the room spinning every time I rolled over in bed or tried to sit up. Rebecca
Saindon, my neuromuscular massage therapist in Nashville, commented that it might be benign positional vertigo and suggested
I see my doctor for an evaluation. Sure enough the doctor's diagnosis was BPV. Rebecca did a simple maneuver to correct the
position of some dislodged crystals in my inner ear and I did a homework version of the same. It only took a few minutes.
The dizziness was immediately gone and has not returned." (client name withheld by request) "Rebecca helped me tremendously
with my vertigo. I was unable to get out of bed without being dizzy. After one session and doing the exercise she gave me
at home, I am no longer dizzy." ~Kat Corbitt, Vanderbilt "My world was constantly in motion. When I sat, my horizon was always shifting and when I walked,
nothing around me stayed steady. Riding on an escalator made me dizzy; if I looked up or turned over in bed, my brain went
into a sickening spin. I had benign paroxysmal positional vertigo but I felt like I was living in a washing machine - on spin
cycle. Then Rebecca Saindon gently and expertly guided me through the Eppley maneuver. Bingo! My world is back to its usual
pace. I've climbed out of the washer. Thanks, Rebecca ! ~Ginna P. About Ergonomic Evaluations: "I've been a client of NNC for about 5 years. They help keep me feeling good, enable me to be
healthy enough to work hard, play hard and enjoy life without pain. Recently, Rebecca Saindon came to my office for an ergonomic
consultation. Rebecca helped me reconfigure my office desk, computer keyboard and my chair so I can be well supported while
I work. She also had great practical solutions for affordable ergonomic office furniture. With only a minimal investment,
I now have a wonderfully comfortable set up, and my fatigue at the end of a long day at the computer has been greatly reduced.
THANKS AGAIN NNC. You continue to be an integral part of my life."

“Rebecca is
truly an expert in her field. She is very experienced, very knowledgeable, and very fun too! We are 100% confident sending
clients to her. Top qualities: Great Results, Personable, Expert.” Dan DeFigio
About Neck and Shoulder Pain: "I struggled with chronic neck and shoulder pain for many years, and got no relief through medical channels.
A neurologist at Vanderbilt recommended I try neuromuscular massage therapy with Rebecca Saindon at the Nashville Neuromuscular
Center, and after diligent work with her, my pain is mostly gone, and what remains is very much under control. Rebecca, aside
from being a wonderful person and a joy to visit, is an amazing therapist, and really got to the heart of my problem immediately.
She has helped me undo years of compensation for the pain and the imbalance it created in my body. I wholeheartedly recommend
her." ~Lisa B., Attorney I suffered with frozen shoulder. I wasn't able to raise my arm above
my shoulder. But with the care I received at NNC and sticking with the exercises NNC suggested, I was able to achieve full
mobility. THANK YOU! ~Shannon Paty "Several years ago, I was involved in a car accident and diagnosed with the unspeakable
"whiplash." The doctor put me on painkillers and sent me to a physical therapist. The medicine made me sick and
the PT worked with me for a couple of months and then told me she had done all that she could do. The pain continued to get
worse. One day my stylist noticed that I couldn't bend my head back to put it in the sink. He recommended that I go to the
Nashville Neuromuscular Center. I was extremely skeptical. Rebecca Saindon has truly changed my life. Not to sound overly
dramatic, but it's the truth. Through intense sessions of deep soft tissue work, stretches, lifestyle changes and diet and
exercise, my body feels brand new. I can honestly say that I feel stronger and my body feels more aligned than when I was
in my early twenties. My pain is gone. These people are highly intelligent professionals with the sincere concern for prevention
and pain relief. It's hard for me to be objective, but Rebecca and NNC have dramatically improved the quality of my life and
I feel grateful each day for this association." ~ (name withheld by request) "I went in with
severe muscle spasms in my shoulder, so bad I couldn't sleep and nothing I did on my own alleviated the pain or relaxed the
spasm. I'd had this problem in the past, but nothing as severe as this time. NNC was a god send. Within the first session
the spasm was relieved and with it the pain, and over a series of 5 sessions Rebecca Saindon got to the root of
what was causing the spasms, taught me exercises specific to me to realign my posture (which was causing the problem). Five
years later, I am thankful to say that I have not had any reocurrance of the problem and now if I even get a twitch, I know
what to do. The NNC staff is caring, personable and highly trained. I've referred family, friends and business associates
and all have had the same wonderful results." ~Peg Allen
"I came to NNC because of pain with motion
in my right shoulder. Mayumi identified within seconds the problem area. What was incredible was that all pain in movement
was gone at the conclusion of our session." ~Joan Schleicher, Psychologist
"Rebecca
has been like a saint for me. She helped me through serious muscle problems with my legs and has seen me through two rotator
cuff surgeries and the remnants of a ruptured disc. I still go for a deep tissue massage on a monthly basis because I always
feel so much better afterwards." ~Doug Anderson
"I am 53 years old and am a full-time Registered Nurse. When I was referred to Nashville Neuromuscular
Center, I was hurting in many places; back, neck, and shoulders especially. I felt really frustrated,because I thought 'If
I feel like this in my 50's, how will I ever make it in my 70's?' So, when I was asked what my goals were by being there,
I replied that I woud like to be stronger so I could play volleyball longer and that I would like to have my pain decreased.
I was surprised, very pleasantly, to hear Rebecca say that I should aim to be pain free. I had not had that thought
before, since I had always believed that everyone has some pain they have to bear.
Rebecca's encouragement, as well as
always taking a thorough history, giving hands-on care, and very practical hints to improve my posture, alignment and attitude
gave me a lot of relief. Just being told that it was possible to learn to sleep in a better position made me try it, and to
my surprise and great joy, my back pain is much better. My shoulders are better also, in part due to exercise she gave me,
and in part from the foam supports she made for my car seat which make me sit up straighter and hold my shoulders in much
better form.
This information and encouragement has made a huge difference in my life and just being made aware of the
ways in which I was living a lifestyle that increased stress and strain on my body has helped me to adjust and change, so
that I now have hope of playing volleyball many more years, and also of being pain free for a lot more of my life. I can't
say how much I appreciate and how much I learned from Rebecca. She not only gave me a new way of life, but she also gave of
herself, which is evident by her dedication and enthusiasm for her job. It seems to be more than a job to her, and that can
make all the difference in results.
I highly recommend this company to anyone who is having problems similar to mine
and feel strongly that it is a useful method of returning one to a healthier and happier life." ~Tina
O'Connor, RN
"I hadn't realized to what extent
my daily activities and sleep were affected by my back and shoulder pain until it was removed! After Rebecca Saindon 'freed'
my pain and restored my posture, I noticed an increased energy level and improved sense of well-being, not to mention greater
range of motion and strength. Rebecca was expertly adept at communicating complex neuromuscular terminology into terms that
I could understand. It just made sense. In just five sessions, I was strong and pain-free and equipped with
the knowledge of how to remain healthy. The sports and pain-specific exersizes that she taught me are now a part of my daily
regimen." ~Pam Wylly "I began coming to NNC when I had pain in my lower and mid back and an injury in my cervical spine that prevented
full rotation of my head and neck. Previous to coming, I had the neck injury for three years and back pain for one year. In
the beginning, I worked with Keith to get out of acute pain. Sometimes the work was gentle and other times deep, but for every
session I felt attended to in exactly the way that I needed. I have alwys left sessions at NNC feeling a sense of relief and
relaxation that affects the rest of my week." "I
am amazed at how good I feel-Bethann Easterly is good and STRONG-seriously, when I left the clinic, I already felt so much
better and her ability to zero in on the problem was incredible; I will highly recommend Bethann and your clinic. [Nashville
Neuromuscular Center] I have been doing the stretches she showed me and I actually showed them to [others in my office with
similar problem]" ~Randy Smith, accountant
"I was experiencing pain in my right front shoulder from carrying a heavy briefcase
when I travel. This pain had been increasing over the last twelve months and was keeping me out of the gym. Rebecca Saindon
has brought me back to life. I am pain free in only three sessions of neuromuscular massage. A miracle you say? Perhaps!
However, the healing hands of the professionals at the Nashville Neuromuscular Center have made my pain go away and taught
me techniques and stretches to keep it from coming back. I cannot say enough about the caring, relaxed, professional approach
and atmosphere in which I was treated. Bravo! Thank you so much." ~Craig U. Colby
"It's Jaclyn Berry who was in to see you on Friday afternoon. First off, you're my miracle worker. I
woke up this morning very tender/sore, but with NO pain. I am moving more and had less tenderness as the day progressed. Thank
you so much for everything. I would like to go ahead and make an appointment with you next week to learn some exercises to
strengthen as well. I took your advise of using a wash cloth rolled up on the "pinching" point and I really think
that made a huge difference as well as the ice and heat. I really want to express my thanks for you seeing me on such short
notice as well as being very compassionate and helpful. I have never experienced pain like that, and hope I never do, but
will definitely spread the word of you and Nashville Neuromuscular. Thanks so much. PS I am also going to poke and prod my
husband to come and see you about his plantersfaceitious [sic] too. " ~ Jaclyn "I am 50 years old and have suffered from severe pain
from osteoarthritis for 15 years. I am unable to take many of the medications for this condition because of drug allergies.
Physical Therapy, acupuncture and massage therapy have helped to alleviate some of the pain, but I have achieved better pain
management through the therapeutic massage treatments with Rebecca Saindon at the Nashville Neuromuscular Center. After about
four treatments, my overall pain has been reduced by 80%. Rebecca has been very helpful in showing me ways to manage my pain
between treatments." ~ (client name withheld by request) "Rebecca is wonderful, as a therapist and
person! Rebecca Saindon at NNC helped relieve years of neck and shoulder pain, after several doctors over several years
were unable to find the source of the problem -- a local neurologist suggested I try her, and I sure am glad I did! I recommend
Rebecca and NNC wholeheartedly." leel_tn
"This is a letter of reference for Rebecca Saindon of the Nashville Neuromuscular Center. I received
neuromuscular work from Ms. Saindon for several years and have always been impressed with the quality of ther work, her thoroughness
in answering any questions I have, her suggestions for continued self-improvement and her high level of professionalism. I
have recommended Ms. Saindon to many people I know and will continue to do so, satisfied that she will provide the same quality
of service as she provided to me. I have always found Ms. Saindon to be fair and ethical in all of our transactions."
~Debra Grimes About Foot 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 "A skiing accident in college made a mess of one of my ankles. It became,
as I put it, 'stuck.' The range of motion was almost zero. I began going to Michele Baier on a regular basis. Her knowledge
of massage techniques, along with her determination to help me, has definitely paid off. I'm happy to say my ankle is no longer
the painful problem it once was."
Patsy (last name withheld by request) "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. "Following a critical case of chronic meningo-encephalitis, I experienced
numbness and heaviness of the extremities, ataxia, severe low back and shoulder pain. My physician thought Neuromuscular Massage
Therapy would be beneficial and he was joined by another health care professional in recommending Rebecca Saindon at the Nashville
Neuromuscular Center. I have found Ms. Saindon to be a consummate professional with the client's well-being her primary consideration.
I firmly believe Ms. Saindon has been an integral part of my recovery. I no longer require prescription medications to control
the pain. The ataxia has almost completely resolved and I have a much greater range of motion. When I went back to work after
two years absence, she consulted with my company regarding the ergo dynamics of my work station. Based on her recommendations,
they made some simple changes that benefited me immediately and significantly reduced the pain in my shoulders. Ms. Saindon
set goals with me, educated me, and allowed me to participate in my therapy. To someone who had been extremely active and
independent before becoming totally dependent, the participation and sense of control were especially beneficial emotionally.
Ms. Saindon has unquestioned integrity and is an outstanding representative of her profession."

"I feel like I have been to every place in Nashville where the people claim to
be 'neuromuscular therapists'. I have never had anything that even comes close to the approach Rebecca Saindon and the Nashville
Neuromuscular Center provides. They are so thorough and the techniques are way different from all the other people who claim
to do neuromuscular work. I got real relief from my symptoms for the first time in 12 years, and it's lasted for over
6 months as of today. These folks are the real deal!" ~Jenny D. About Headaches: "I came to Nashville Neuromuscular Center as a last resort in early 2004. I had been experiencing daily
headaches almost as long as I could remember, and they were worsening with age. At the time I first saw Rebecca Saindon, I
was taking three different prescription medications for sinuses and allergy, plus migraine medication as needed, plus what
was probably an unhealthy amount of over-the-counter headache medicine, none with satisfactory results. No one could seem
to find the source of my headaches, and I was actually scheduled for a CAT scan to determine if I had any tumors or growths
that could be causing the pain. I really did not hold out much hope that Rebecca would be able to help me but was willing
to try anything at that point. Miraculously, on my first visit for neuromuscular massage therapy, Rebecca found the source
of my pain. And it was so simple! Years of bad posture and neck positioning had actually shortened the muscles in my neck.
I had been my own worst enemy.
After evaluating my posture and stance, Rebecca went right to the source of my pain -
one application of pressure on the offending muscle immediately triggered the sharp temple to temple pain from which I had
suffered for so long. (I was amazed...and so relieved! I felt better after the very first session.
After a few sessions
implementing certain rules and exercises to improve my posture, I experienced an amazing transformation. I was no longer taking
any medication, whatsoever, for headaches or misdiagnosed sinus/allergy problems. Additionally, the neck problems for which
I had sought periodic chiropractic care for years were also remedied. Rebecca has taught me so much.
I am forever changed
for having found Nashville Neuromuscular Center, and will be forever grateful to Rebecca for helping me. I would recommend
NNC to anyone experiencing pain of any kind."
~Joanna L. Stanfield
Paralegal
"I suffered from neck pain and severe headaches for ten years. I visited every doctor that anyone recommended.
There is no way to figure how many dollars were spent by me and my insurance company to no avail. Then someone suggested that
I make an appointment with Rebecca Saindon. After everything I had been through I really didn't have much faith, but I was
in so much pain I would have done most anything. After only two visits I knew I was on the right path. She explained everything
she was doing and gave me exercises to do at home to accelerate the process. Almost immediately my headaches became less frequent.
She also suggested other things that would help me, from the way my office is arranged to the way I lie in bed at night. After
only a few months of neuromuscular massage therapy, I am pain free for the first time in ten years. There is no way to explain
how this feels. If you are reading this, you are contemplating making an appointment. Don't put it off any longer. You deserve
to feel good again." ~ Nina Crain
"I came to NNC because I was experiencing debilitating migraines almost daily. I also could
not lift my arm above my head and my shoulder blade hurt all the time. After working with Rebecca, my headaches
have reduced significantly and I am able to move my arm over my head again! I am more relaxed and less tense all over my entire
body and my shoulder blade does not bother me anymore. Oh, and Rebecca was also able to relieve a pain in my mouth/jaw."
~Katie Pareigis "After
a serious car wreck in 1997, I spent four years trying different therapies and therapists to deal with the chronic neck pain
and headaches. By the time I got to Rebecca Saindon at the Nashville Neuromuscular Center, I was pretty tired of physical
therapy, massage and pain medicines. Working with Rebecca made drastic improvements in my pain and mobility immediately. Within
a few sessions I no longer needed pain & anti-inflammatory medications and soon after was almost totally pain-free."
~Sarah Trahern, Producer "The painful effects of being hit from behind in a car wreck came on gradually
and progressed over the course of several months. Physical therapy, epidural cortisone injections, and many visits to four
specialized doctors later, I finally learned about the Nashville Neuromuscular Center. Rebecca matched me up with Keith McCord
who has shared with me a wealth of practical knowledge about the human body and how to heal it. The extensive soft tissue
pain that I experienced has improved so much in the 3 months I have been receiving treatment. They has even helped my husband
and his "computer neck!" I don't know what I would have done without NNC. They have been a real blessing
to me!" ~Debbie Gott
About Low 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 . "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 "This is not one of those testimonials you will be likely to put on your website, yet I feel I owe you a big
"Thank You." When I came to Keith McCord I had been suffering for 9 months from what I thought was a bulging disc.
I had been to physical therapy, chiroprator, IDD therapy/traction, water therapy and nothing worked. Neuromuscular Therapy
did not resolve my condition either, but you just may have saved me from tragedy. Everyone who had treated me up to that point
had told me to keep moving, exercising, pushing myself. On my 2nd visit to Keith, he told me to go to bed; to be up only 15
minutes at a time, which I did and finally got so much needed rest. Then I got a myelogram which showed I had major problems,
and was so messed up the dye would not even go below a certain point in my spine. As it ended up, I had two herniated discs
which had both calcified and multible bone spurs and an abnormally small spinal column in my lumbar region which complicated
my problems. I was told that the discs had calcified because I had kept moving through my pain and that it could evolve into
a state where I would lose control of my bladder. I think had I not come to NNC and had Keith not put me on bed rest, it's
very likely I would have contracted the condition that would have necessitated emergency surgery which is very dangerous.
So thank you for being the only one out of all those professionals to tell me to quit pushing through the pain. Thank you
for really looking at me, and really listening to me, and telling me to stop exercising. I had surgery in July and my recovery
has been remarkable. " ~Denise Smith "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 acupunture 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." ~
Joyce Alfery, 2006 (Orthopedic physicians
confirmed Rebecca's suspicions that this was not an SI joint problem. Joyce had hip surgery and returned to NNC
in 2009 to relieve post rehabilitation pain.) . "NNC has provided me with healing for many years
now. I have a standing monthly appointment, and deem it high priority on my calendar. No matter what concerns
I may have, the staff at NNC seems always to have the answer. Well, as you can tell, I am totally bias!
And with good reason, may I add. I had been plagued with lower back pain for over thirty
years, but nary a sign any more since beginning with NNC. As an older guy, my hips give me some annoyance.
After Rebecca works on me, things seem to straighten out. How's that for an accolade?" ~Kent
Cathcart, retired drama teacher .
"I'm feeling MUCH better now. Thank you! I feel like I've got a brand
new back, in comparison. The sessions were really worth it. NNC has given me some homework and helped me identify
my problem areas. I'm much more conscious of how to maintain healthier posture on my job, while I'm walking, and when I'm
sleeping".

About General Malaise and Fibromyalgia: "Prior
to coming to see Bethann Easterly, I was diagnosed with several debilitating conditions due to overall body pain and fatigue,
including Fibromyalgia, Epstein-Barr, and an unspecified auto-immune mixed connective tissue disorder. After working with
Bethann for a few months, I am happy to report that except for the occasional flare brought on by stress or lack of sleep,
I feel Great! I never thought I'd feel this good again. Her natural intuitive abilities, kind intention, and deep compassion
have helped me cultivate a peaceful and loving relationship with my body. I feel more present within myself, and more integrated
as a person. In addition to the concrete pysical changes I've experienced, the emotional healing
and releasing I've experienced through Bethann's healing touch has been profound. We are still working through layers of tension,
but the benefits of treatment have been amazing so far. Before you consider drugs, injections, or surgery, definitely give
the Nashville Neuromuscular Center a try. ~ Holly B. . "I have been privileged
to be a client of Rebecca Saindon's at Nashville Neuromuscular Center for several years whenever things crop up to cause me
pain. The new technique she is using with me has helped incredibly with my range of motion, decreased my muscle tightness,
lessened my pain and given me a better sense of overall wellbeing. I have had several treatments and improved drastically
with each one. Thank you, Rebecca, for consistently furthering your knowledge of how our bodies work and what they need to
work better." ~Jo Findley

As a pain relief clinic in Nashville, TN, we have had good success relieving
Neck pain, Arm & shoulder pain, Headaches, Low Back Pain, Pain between the shoulder blades,
TMJ pain, Hip and Knee pain, Foot and Heel pain, Ankle pain, Tennis & Golfer's Elbow
In our experience, over 90% of the soft tissue pain syndromes we see can be resolved
following our specific Neuromuscular and Corrective Exercise protocols. But there are some incidents of pain that are not
caused simply by muscle or postural imbalances, and these situations may require medical intervention. If
you have dramatic sudden loss of strength or muscle size, or a true deadened numbness with absolutely
no feeling as opposed to a superficial 'numblike' sensation, extreme coordination problems, bowel or bladder
dysfunction, you should see your doctor for medical evaluation.
