Body Temple PT and Yoga

I have had chronic pain and serious body issues for 14 years. About a year and a half ago, after seeing PTs for over 10 years I lost hope. I felt I had tried everything: dietary changes, meds, holistic care, acupuncture, yoga, etc. I was at a loss and in complete despair. Soon after, I found Liz and have been hooked ever since. She has taught me how to retrain my body with breath, movement, yoga therapy, and she is the only massage therapist to do body work on me and not flare me up! I am now practicing yoga and exercising around 5 times a week and, albeit not pain free, I have a significant reduction in pain. I recommend her to everyone. She is a joy to work with and, I feel, saved my life.

Liz is very talented. She diagnosed the cause of my back/​hip pain, applied massage and cupping, and suggested very effective exercises. I’m not keen on exercises, but these were so effective that I was willing to do them. If you are looking for a solution to your problem, she’s the one you should see! Very highly recommended!

Liz is truly gifted, and more importantly, genuinely passionate about healing. I once had a slipped lumbar disc impinging on my nerve and had lost motor signal through my sciatic to my lower left leg. 3 surgical consults had claimed if I didn’t operate, I’d lose the neuromuscular function permanently. Liz started me on a progressive path of healing and physical therapy, and additionally encouraged me to seek other healing for a truly holistic mind-​body-​spirit approach. I was able to gain back my nerve control and have even returned to my favorite winter activity of skiing. I am immensely and truly thankful for her gifted healing.

My wife and I have been working with Liz for 3+ years. We’re both reasonably fit (Liz — please agree with me here), but a variety of injuries and other ailments have gotten in the way of feeling our best. Liz has been huge for us — she spends the time working to understand your personal situation and design a personal plan for each person. Her style is great — supportive but not overly aggressive. She is very knowledgeable about physiology and body mechanics so we feel we are in good hands. In addition, she is a MASTER massage therapist, and is great at working out the kinks and stress. In fact, I always have to push myself not to use our workout sessions for massage — but its great that she does both well. If you want an knowledgeable, friendly and supportive expert to help you recover from injury or just get on track with an exercise plan, you’ve come to the right place!

Over the last 1.5 yrs, I have been suffering from back pain. I had surgery at the end of December of last year and continued to have significant issues (several times I was flat out on the bed for days). Liz has worked with me for 2 months now and I am happy to say, I’m 98% better! She takes a very different approach than the typical PT and the results are astounding. Two months ago, I would wake up in pain, go through the day in pain and go to sleep in pain. Now I wake up pain free and it has stayed that way!

I’m a 40 year-​old male weekend warrior who also happens to be a healthcare practitioner. A year ago, I was in Hawaii and ran full-​speed with a bit too much exuberance into the ocean, only to twist my ankle so badly that I needed to go to the hospital and have a wheelchair through the airport on the way home. A few months later, I was still suffering, unable to hike, run, and even hopped around my office while trying to help others with their own aches and pains. Not a great advertisement for my own services. After x-​rays, rest, acupuncture, pain relievers, and consulting two other physical therapists, I went to Liz. She spent 1 ½ hours pushing and pulling on me. At one point, she twisted my foot in a certain way, and *pop*, something went back into place. She had found a tiny bone that had popped out of joint in my foot. Wow, what a difference.
I am an avid hiker and backpacker, and decided to write this review because I just returned from a two-​day, 25-​mile backpacking trip in Yosemite. I thought about her a lot, how thankful I was/​am to be back to what I love, after her one miraculous treatment.
I have worked with people in various states of pain all day long for 15 years, have worked at 4 different physical therapy clinics, and with a few orthopedic surgeons. I don’t compliment anyone easily in orthopedics, and I have to say, Liz saved me. She gave me back my quality of life, which is really what medicine is all about. You should let her save you, as well.

Liz fixed me. She is worth every cent and every second.
After being quite invincible thorough my 20’s, my office job finally begin taking its toll. Extremely uncomfortable tingling and pain in my head and neck became a daily occurrence. Little did I know, I didn’t have to live with it. Liz worked her magic, and the tingling was gone the next day, and the pain left in another day. She put the icing on the cake by teaching me exercises I can do to prevent a recurrence.
Liz is also a great spirit. She brightens up the room and your day.

Liz is a miracle worker who brought me back from back pain when doctors could not. She combines a knowledge of anatomy with a healer’s gift. I cannot say enough good things about her work.
