Helping My Body Heal, Restore Mobility, and Move More Freely
By Toni Sheads
Debbie has been instrumental in helping my body heal following a traumatic riding accident almost a year ago.
After my injury, my arm was immobilized for approximately 12 weeks, which meant I was unable to begin physical therapy right away. Once I was able to start traditional physical therapy, I worked with my therapist for approximately five months. That process was absolutely necessary and helped me regain some strength and mobility in my arm. However, when my physical therapy sessions ended, I knew my body was not completely healed. I was still experiencing limitations, discomfort, and areas of restriction that I felt had not been fully addressed through traditional physical therapy.
That’s when I began looking for a different approach to healing. I remembered Debbie Romero, an Alexander Technique teacher whom I had known for quite some time. What I didn’t realize was that Debbie was also certified as an orthopedic massage therapist. I am so grateful that I discovered this additional aspect of her work.
I have now been working with Debbie for several months, and she has been addressing not only my shoulder and arm, but also my back and my body as a whole. Her goal is to help me regain full mobility, balance, and fluidity of movement. The results have been remarkable.
Debbie has an extraordinary understanding of the human body. She has an extensive knowledge of ligaments, tendons, muscles, fascia, and so many other structures I didn’t even know existed. She has an incredible ability to place her hands on an area where there is tension or restriction, ask insightful questions, and then work specifically with those areas to help release and restore movement.
I have been amazed by how accurately she can identify areas where I am experiencing difficulty and how effectively she works to improve mobility and flexibility. Her knowledge, skill, sensitivity, intuition, and ability to understand how the entire body works together are truly remarkable.
I cannot thank Debbie enough for the progress my body has made since I began working with her. She has played an important role in helping me continue my healing journey, and I am incredibly grateful for her expertise and compassionate approach.
I highly recommend Debbie to anyone dealing with issues involving muscles, ligaments, tendons, mobility, balance, or physical movement. If you are looking for someone with deep knowledge of the human body and a thoughtful, individualized approach to helping you heal and move more freely, Debbie is someone I highly recommend seeking out.
