Align Therapeutics Myofascial Release - Madison, Connecticut

Hope

I have limited ankle mobility from an injury 25 years ago which has affected not only my ankles, buy my hip and knee mobility as well as my lower back and neck and shoulders. After working with Vanessa for the past several months, not only have I felt relief from the pain in my joints and more mobility in my ankles immediately after my sessions, but the suggestions and exercises she has given me have made an overall positive impact on my life. Her space is so clean and relaxing; it’s difficult not to fall asleep while she is working on me! After my sessions, I feel like I’ve just had a massage but MFR is light touch, nothing like a deep tissue massage; however, the effects for me are comparable. I feel so much lighter and relaxed after each session! I have never worked with Lyn but I have had the opportunity to talk to her, and both she and Vanessa make a great team; always so friendly and welcoming!

After being diagnosed with pretty severe scoliosis, I was referred to a chiropractor to try to help with not only the back pain, but chest pain that was a result of the scoliosis. After seeing a chiropractor several times a week, for almost a year, my chiropractor referred me to Lyn for Myofascial Release Therapy to be used in conjunction with the chiropractic care. I was immediately comfortable with Lyn, her vibe, her studio, and her approach to care! Within the first session, I learned so much about listening to my body as well as how things are all connected. After several sessions with Lyn, I was able to learn techniques to use at home in between visits. These techniques have helped with migraines, back pain, chest pain, etc. Needless to say, I discontinued chiropractic care for the time being as the work done with Lyn has helped with all the symptoms I had been experiencing. I will also say, I drive almost an hour to see Lyn at Align Therapeutics, because of the level of care, comfort, and results she delivers! I would highly recommend Align Therapeutics and Lyn for any MFR needs!

I cannot speak highly enough of my experience with Align Therapeutics Myofascial Release and my clinician there, Lyn Lynn, OT.

I had suffered from significant neck discomfort and profound loss of range of motion for well over a year prior to beginning myofascial release therapy.
I had tried traditional physical therapy as well as long periods of rest, multiple medications, and multiple orthopedic evaluations prior to meeting Lyn.

My experience with myofascial release therapy was extremely positive and productive.
The thorough and holistic approach used by my clinician addressed much more than my area of acute discomfort. Lyn evaluated and very competently addressed my chronic, lifelong habits with poor posture, work and driving ergonomics as well as exercise habits. Lyn helped lead me to a better understanding of many of the sources of my chronic pain.

Lyn treated me with patience, compassion, confidence and a friendly, supportive manner.
I always felt very welcome at Align Therapeutics. The process of myofascial release was physically comfortable, and for me, remarkably relaxing. It seemed much more thorough than the traditional physical therapy that I had tried previously. Lyn was available with any questions or concerns that I had between our sessions. She corresponded consistently with me, providing excellent recommendations for stretches and exercises.

I recommend Align Therapeutics and myofascial release therapy very strongly. I am incredibly thankful for the time I spent learning from and healing with my clinician, Lyn Lunn, OT.

I recently came to Lyn's MFR practice to treat chronic knee pain from an old ski accident which was worsening as time went on. The orthopedics told me I would most likely eventually need surgery to repair. Most days I would feel throbbing pain and was especially painful to squat or kneel down. If I was out biking or hiking I would usually feel increased pain, to the point I would avoid participating in activities. I had tried prior treatments with chiropractic and other massage therapies which would help temporarily but nothing lasted. I am so glad I found Lyn! I started working with Lyn in July, going 2x week, then eventually 1x week, and dropped down to once monthly in October. After these 3-4 months of treatment, I cannot believe how great my knees feel and I know longer hesitate to participate in more intense hikes and bikes and other outdoor activities. My range of motion is so much better and I am getting back to more exercise classes without hesitation. The daily pain is nearly nonexistent, and I feel more like my old self. Lyn is so professional and highly skilled in her work, I always feel safe and so relaxed when receiving her MFR treatments. I would highly recommend giving Lyn and MFR a try!

I began seeing Lyn for painful scar tissue, the result of a double mastectomy and weeks of intense radiation. Her technique is masterful, her knowledge impressive and her commitment to my improved well being incredibly sincere.

Lyn has listened to my concerns, challenged me with at home exercises and given me a true lesson in the intricacies of this gentle, and powerful therapy. Lyn Lunn is a positive practitioner who has stayed professionally current and has an intuitive understanding of how MFR has and will continue to change my body for the better. My scars have literally changed under her care, I am more balanced and undoubtedly healthier for trusting her. Thank you Lyn.

I can't say enough good things about Lyn! First of all, she's a joy to work with. Her warmth and her enthusiasm for her work come across immediately and provide an instant sense of hope. She's also a true professional and is very serious and dedicated to helping others with her specialty.

Lyn's training and knowledge base is top notch. She's trained for many years with the developer of the MFR technique which gives her not only an amazing skill set but also an intuitive wisdom. She is able to focus in on where in my body I'm having trouble and how it connects to other parts of my body. Lyn is very gently in correcting these tight areas and sticks to a treatment plan. On my first visit, she corrected my shoulder to get it to line up, within a few weeks she corrected my posture, and within a few months has corrected my rotated hip which I've had since I was a child. Pain that I was having in my back is gone.

I am so grateful to Lyn! It's the best experience I've had with any practitioner I've gone to for help, hands down!

Lynn is a wonderful occupational therapist with excellent hands on skills. I found myofascial to be extremely helpful in treating neck/back pain and postural asymmetries I was having when I starting seeing Lynn. She assessed me each time I saw her, quickly identifying what areas to target each session. Her home exercises/self-treatment programs were very helpful and have made a world of difference for me. I'm now able to feel when I have a pain cycle starting and use the techniques she taught me to stop it.
I also want to say that Lynn provided a relaxing atmosphere for my treatment sessions and she was always ready and waiting for me when I arrived. I highly recommend her as a Myofascial practitioner -she will definitely make an impact in your pain and posture.

At 75 I was an active adult traveling, walking, playing with my grandchildren, taking dance classes and gardening. Gradually my activities slowed and eventually stopped as I experienced pain in my hip and lower back. As I sought help I saw 2 physical therapists, 2 physiatrists, 2 acupuncturists, an orthopedic hip surgeon, a back neurosurgeon and a chiropractor. I also had 4 steroid shots ( 3 in my hip and 1 in my back ). Finally I found Lyn as someone suggested seeking myofascial release therapy. She changed my life! She is a delightful sprite, always positive. Her knowledge of the body and how it moves is amazing. I actually felt better after my first and more importantly I had HOPE, Now I walk everywhere, play with my grandchildren, garden , shop and even dance around my house. Thanks, Love you Lyn
