Jeanne Mandelblatt3 months agoThis is an excellent and truly unique practice. Mr. Shenk is an exceptionally well-trained practitioner. He has the detailed knowledge about anatomy and physiology to understand problems and apply an effective treatment course. Mr. Shenk is also a gifted listener and healer. He creates a collaborative environment that is calm and person-focused. I have major chronic musculoskeletal disease and he has helped me maintain my best function. I think he is simply the best in the business!Fran Nguyen3 months agoThom has been instrumental in helping me through a lower back injury, complications stemming from hypermobility and scoliosis, as well as lymphedema.
He’s a wealth of knowledge on both the physical body and the spiritual one and skillfully intertwines the two in his hands-on session.
Thom is punctual, personable and tireless in his treatments, which are very much akin to foam rolling and Myofacial release tools, only using human hands.
He’s helped me re-direct a slipped rib back to its natural position as well as greatly relieve sciatic pain that other modalities did not improve.Sima Z12 months agoGalia Maranon2 years agoGalia Maranon2 years agodonna martin3 years agoThis is the place to go for expert analysis of complex issues and body work by a compassionate and open practitioner of healing.

It's amazing how tight muscles and fascia can cause a domino effect in your joints and limbs.Jessica Probst3 years agoThom is outstanding. As a healthcare provider, I regularly refer patients to him, and as a person, I’ve really benefited from his services!Sima Z3 years agoJane Gardner5 years agoI definitely hit the jackpot with Thom. I have dealt with back pain for over a decade from a motorcycle accident. I have seen chiropractor for years and even though they helped somewhat, I had to keep going back very often for it to not get worse again. I have seen Thom about 10 times and my back has improved tremendously. My pain has gone down by 70% and I can feel that it is not just a temporary relief; structurally I am improving. He is a master of his craft and I’m glad to have found him. Wish I would’ve found him in the beginning, but better be late than never :)Jane Gardner5 years agoI definitely hit the jackpot with Thom.

Best hands in the business.
I play 4 instruments and had been living with severe, chronic back pain for 8 years when I met Thom.
I was probably incurable, and frankly, I know I will never be 100% again, but Thom brought me back from the brink of desperation, and set me on a course towards improved posture, heightened body awareness, and pain free living. After one year of regular treatments, I felt strong and balanced enough to stop everything---physical therapy, acupuncture, pain meds, the constant swimming, stretching, and cure searching--and start to live a life that was more than my pain, and my daily obsession with finding any way I could to minimize its impact.
Thanks Thom! I'll never think about bodies, muscles, and movement the same way again.Manny Bernardo10 years agoThom is a miracle worker. Seriously. Best hands in the business.
