Sylvia Chrisney, CMT, CPT, Arcata CA

I saw Sylvia for some neck and head pain that I was experiencing. She is amazing and so knowledgeable on our body's soft tissues. Her treatments gave me great relief. She shared information with me on other local therapist who could help with other issues that I had going on. Her recommendation were top notch! These local ladies have opened my eyes to a whole new way of healing, healing that works! I am forever grateful for Sylvia's therapy, knowledge, and guidance. I highly recommend her!

Great work. I had an Achilles strain and I went in on Thursday and was able to do a sprinting time trial by Saturday!

Sylvia has been working on a leg injury the passed month. In the beginning my legs were throbbing, always in pain and causing me mental and physical stress. I've gone to her four times so far and my pain release is incredibly significant. She is very professional and knowledgeable about her work. I higher recommend her services!

Sylvia is highly skilled, and we are so incredibly lucky to have such an outstanding provider in Humboldt County. I suffered a shoulder trauma over a year ago and was seen by Physical Therapists, MD’s, and other providers with no relief. It only took one session with Sylvia to have a massive reduction in pain and significant improvement in my range of motion. Thanks to Sylvia I have hope that I can participate in activities that I love once again. Sylvia’s talent and knowledge are unparalleled in this community, if you have acute or chronic injuries/pain I can’t recommend another person more highly than Sylvia, don’t wait like I did - this can truly change your life!

I came really sporadically after reading reviews a couple of years ago and am really thankful to be back. Just seems like a good human being and there's lots of indicators of it being a safe space. It's pricey, but it definitely helped me then and hopefully it'll help me now!

My partner and I both suffer from chronic pain issues, and Sylvia's trigger point therapy has helped immensely. We've tried all kinds of therapies but what Sylvia does is hands down the only one that has provided long term relief and range of movement for us. Sylvia provides a safe and comfortable environment; and is also such a warm and helpful human being. Recommend highly!

I suffered from constant pain and tightness in my hip for about 3 months and Sylvia provided by far the most effective treatment. I was pretty much good-to-go after two visits. Highly recommend.

Sylvia has been a game changer for me. As a long time runner I’ve been struggling with some chronic injuries that I thought would never go away. After my first session with Sylvia I noticed a big improvement in my mobility and a significant reduction in muscle soreness. She is a very skilled practitioner and such a nice person as well! She also follows up after appointments and has a beautiful and calming office space. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

My 15 year old son has been seeing Sylvia for a shoulder injury. She came highly recommended by his wrestling coach and has lived up to her glowing recommendation. I was not familiar with the practice of Tension and Trauma Release and Sylvia has willingly answered all of my questions about my son’s treatments. Her space is lovely, warm, comfortable, clean, and has an inviting energy. We are so blessed to have a specialist like Sylvia in our little town!

Life changing experience. I was having a constant pain around my shoulder blade/scapula area for almost around a decade. It only took one session to fix it. For me was almost a miracle. I kept scheduling session every month and always left the session feeling happy and rejuvenated. With just some movement she is going to be able to identify the problem and attack those trigger points. At the end is way much better and cheaper than going to a doctor/hospital. Totally recommend and it will change your life.

About once a year I get pain from weight lifting in my arms under my shoulders. The only way to alleviate this pain is Sylvia. This is not a gentle message. It is a release of your muscles so it can be painful in such a good way. It works every time. If you are looking to alleviate pain from lifting or any sport she is the one for you!
