Always tells me what she is trying to achieve during the treatments. Since seeing her my pain level has decreased tremendously. Worth the 3 hour drive to get there....!!!

Mindi really helped me with some shoulder pain. She is very knowledgable and kept me informed with her procedures and how they were helping my shoulder and arm.

Mindi evaluated my situation before starting the session, which I feel is a great start to any session. She explained what she found as she was doing my session. Informed me of her recommendation for future treatment and why. Overall, for me, I was satisfied with her treatment and professionalism.
