As always, Mrs. Abbott was “in tune” w/what my body needed. Been a bit of time since I had a massage, and was really in need. I came away w/feeling relaxed and much better. I am very sad to see her leave the area, because she has been my “go to” for several years and the best therapist I have had.

JoAnn is a an extremely skilled practitioner. Her technique is individualized and you can tell she is passionate about her job. My lower back feels so much better after each session. I highly recommend JoAnn for any musculoskeletal issues.

JoAnn is very skilled in MFR. The initial session was very thorough. The follow-up session went by very quickly. We accomplished a lot in 60 minutes. Now my body can integrate everything before my next session.

My massage was AMAZING! JoAnn really worked with the tight areas in my body and pointed out things I hadn't noticed, like my tight jaw. I'm more mindful when I'm clenching my teeth now. I highly recommend JoAnn.

Fue una buena experiencia para mi. Joan fue muy Profesional. Yo escogí la primera opción porque quería saber que podía ella encontrar en mi cuerpo, porque no siempre el origin es donde esta el dolor. Fui con un problema de dolor del.cuello y de la parte alta de la espalda todo esto en el lado izquierdo. Ella encontró que tenia una rotación de la pelvis y desplazamiento hacia arriba de mi cadera en el lado derecho. Después de unos estiramiento y ejercicios en cada después de 5 días he ido teniendo mejoría en la molestia del cuello y espalda. Pienso volver para un myofascial release en la espalda.

Jo-Anne was very good at listening and explaining what she was going to do and why. It was my first time having MFR and I found it very effective and beneficial on some stubborn shoulder pain. We even heard a pop of release during the session!

JoAnn works wonders on all the tense and tight areas! She is very knowledgeable and professional with a warm, friendly personality. She really knows the body and can dial in on those trigger points. You can tell that this is more than a profession for her, it's a passion. Highly recommend her and looking forward to more sessions!

JoAnn is my "go to" for both Myofascial Therapy and Therapeutic Massage. The best massage therapist I have been to in the 56 years I have lived in Va Beach. She addresses any issues I bring to her about specific areas of pain I may be experiencing. Always fell better the next day. I do believe the MTherapy will result in some long term benefits as I get older. Wish I had found her sooner to have begun that treatment earlier in my life

JoAnn and I have been working together during the past four years. She keeps my migraines at bay. I now run 6-12 miles a week, when we first started I couldn't even run a half mile with out something cramping or locking up.

It was what I expected and more. Office is totally fine and professional and the treatment was individualized to my particular needs and was handled in the manner that was complete and, at the same time, instructive. JoAnn is the 'real deal' and you can expect overall body healing and confidence that you are doing for yourself what is right and healthy enabling fuller enjoyment of all life's activities.

JoAnn listens to you to hear your concerns and directly addresses those. She takes the time to explain techniques so you understand the processes involved. I am in daily discomfort with my back situation. After session this week, I have had two days with zero discomfort! I am thankful to have found I Am!

My lifestyle requires a lot from my body. Energy and activities are needed everyday. I've been working with JoAnn for four years now and some issues I thought I would have to live with are now gone and we just keep grinding away at other injuries or restrictions on a regular basis. I travel the world and I can tell you without hesitation, you will get results by seeing and working with her. Rich

It truly WAS an amazing experience. Several little nagging items of discord in my body are gone, but what was more important, after spending the rest of my afternoon dealing with clients and their concerns and cooking dinner for 5, I went to bed at my usual time and slept for a solid block of more than 6 hours of continuous "restful sleep," according to my Misfit. Add a couple of additional hours of mixed restful and light sleep and the calm I felt at the end of the session remains.

The neck and upper back work really helped the stiff neck. I also learned and understood JoAnn's knowledge of the connective tissues. Informative.
