President and Founder of FAST Wellness Soft Tissue Center, PLLC.

My name is Mindi Deschenes and I've been a therapist since 1998.

Since 2007 I've been developing a technique called FAST, which stands for Fascial Strain Therapy. It targets layers of fascia for fast, not-so-painful relief from our everyday habits, sports injuries, accidents, and surgeries. FAST ...

REVIEWS for my Bodywork or Wellness services

Just amazing
by Amber on Apr 29
Mindi takes her time to listen and assess. She is so well versed in all techniques (new and old) that I would never go to anyone else. She helped me tremendously before and after joint replacement.

Got all the pin points

Mindi is super professional- she understands scar and scar tissue’s very well. I saw great improvement at each session.

Mindi found what was my issue and corrected it in the first 15 minutes! Then she went on to take care of another issue. She is so amazing!
by Sarah on Dec 28
Mindi truly is a master at her craft. She is not only amazing with her hands, but her knowledge and willingness to learn to better herself and her clients says it all!! She needs to start a school to teach her craft honestly! 💗❤️‍🩹💗

Mindi took the time to explain to me what she was doing. She was gentle and then worked her way up to a little more pressure. It didn’t hurt. I’m on my second day after the treatment and I walked an entire main street and back. I keep telling everybody I can’t believe the relief

Mindi has helped me after several knee surgeries and now replacements. I had one done at 35 years old that wouldn’t bend past 90 degrees. After a few visits with Mindi I was at 115 degrees and still good after years of not working on it. Now she is working on my other knee after 7 weeks of replacement revision. I have no doubts I will feel better after a few visits! She knows her stuff! I can’t thank her enough for helping my healing without all the PT painful pushing.
