What patients say:
Bettina correctly assessed my dysfunction and treated it so effectively that today I am no longer in pain! She is an exceptional therapist and merits my highest praise. - Anonymous After 9 sessions with Bettina, I've gained invaluable wisdom about my body's strengths and limitations. My level of pain and tightness was high when I first came to see Bettina. By the end of my 9th session my pain level decreased to low on good days and moderate on bad days and my body feels much more open and relaxed. - Jennifer S.
