Realign

Maryann is the consummate professional. Her own healing path gave me faith in her expertise and more importantly, lived experience. I refer my clients to her when I can to get an in-​depth postural analysis and some self-​help, self-​care tools. I highly recommend addressing lifelong postural patterns as well as chronic pain with Maryann.

I have been working with Maryann at Realign for more than a year now. I had been experiencing very bad lower back pain when I first started working with Maryann. I wanted a natural and healthy way to help remedy my back problem without using medication or a chiropractor. Through my sessions with Maryann I have learned various exercises that have truly helped my hip alignment which ultimately has helped my back pain. I started seeing Maryann weekly and then transitioned to bimonthly and now monthly sessions to stay up to date. Maryann has taught me how to remedy issues prior to various types of exercise. My main issue was back pain after running and Maryann has shown me many exercises that help alleviate the pain prior to the run. Maryann makes herself available when you need help outside of your appointments as well. I would highly recommend meeting with Maryann and Realign if you are experiencing any sort of chronic pain.

The simple version– If you are in ANY type of physical pain, no matter how minor or serious, call Maryann right now and make an appt. You will not be sorry!
The more complex version– I’ve been a hairstylist for 11 years. I stand for long hours and use my body for work. I surf, lift, do yoga and am all around very active as well.
About 5 years ago I had such severe shoulder pain I was filled with anxiety at the thought of having to quit my job, stop surfing and go to a more sedentary lifestyle because of it. Massage and chiropractic were only temporary fixes and as the pain began to spread, my emotional health started to decline too. Maryann got me out of pain fast, basically saved my career, got me back to my active lifestyle and with that came balance with my emotional health. With this she also took my spine (which was once flat, with no natural «S» shape left) and literally reshaped it. I went from having no curve in my lower back to a healthy «S» shape in my spine.
Now, you’d think with such a dramatic result I’d stick to it right? Well, I didn’t :(A few years later my alignment was so off that I broke my ankle and tore my meniscus. I later learned certain muscle groups were overexerting themselves so much to keep me in line that my ankle and knee snapped after a very minor movement. Let’s just say after 3 months out of work and basically off my feet, I learned my lesson.
Today, I have no more pain. Maryann has been a miracle for me. She keeps me healthy and able to maintain my work and active lifestyle. I trust her fully and will be with her for life. I refer anyone I can to her because what she does WORKS. We only have one body in this life and we do so much with it, like a car it needs maintanance. After all, you can’t just go get a new body in 10 years, but you can go see Maryann today. Score!
