"I came to Nashville Neuromuscular Center as a last resort in early 2004. I had been experiencing daily headaches almost as long as I could remember, and they were worsening with age.
At the time I first saw Rebecca Saindon, I was taking three different prescription medications for sinuses and allergy, plus migraine medication as needed, plus what was probably an unhealthy amount of over-the-counter headache medicine, none with satisfactory results.
No one could seem to find the source of my headaches,
and I was actually scheduled for a CAT scan to determine if I had any tumors or growths that could be causing the pain.
I really did not hold out much hope that Rebecca would be able to help me but was willing to try anything at that point. Miraculously, on my first visit for neuromuscular massage therapy, Rebecca found the source of my pain. And it was so simple! Years of bad posture and neck positioning had actually shortened the muscles in my neck. I had been my own worst enemy.
After evaluating my posture and stance, Rebecca went right to the source of my pain - one application of pressure on the offending muscle immediately triggered the sharp temple to temple pain from which I had suffered for so long. (I was amazed...and so relieved! I felt better after the very first session.
After a few sessions implementing certain rules and exercises to improve my posture, I experienced an amazing transformation. I was no longer taking any medication, whatsoever, for headaches or misdiagnosed sinus/allergy problems. Additionally, the neck problems for which I had sought periodic chiropractic care for years were also remedied. Rebecca has taught me so much.
I am forever changed for having found Nashville Neuromuscular Center, and will be forever grateful to Rebecca for helping me. I would recommend NNC to anyone experiencing pain of any kind."

Paralegal "I hadn't realized to what extent my daily activities and sleep were affected by my back and shoulder pain until it was removed! After Rebecca Saindon 'freed' my pain and restored my posture, I noticed an increased energy level and improved sense of well-being, not to mention greater range of motion and strength. Rebecca was expertly adept at communicating complex neuromuscular terminology into terms that I could understand. It just made sense. In four sessions, I was strong and pain-free and equipped with the knowledge of how to remain healthy. The sports and pain-specific exersizes that she taught me are now a part of my daily regimen." ~Pam Wylly "Several years ago, I was involved in a car accident and diagnosed with the unspeakable "whiplash." The doctor put me on painkillers and sent me to a physical therapist. The medicine made me sick and the PT worked with me for a couple of months and then told me she had done all that she could do. The pain continued to get worse. One day my stylist noticed that I couldn't bend my head back to put it in the sink. He recommended that I go to the Nashville Neuromuscular Center. I was extremely skeptical. Rebecca Saindon has truly changed my life. Not to sound overly dramatic, but it's the truth. Through intense sessions of deep soft tissue work, stretches, lifestyle changes and diet and exercise, my body feels brand new. I can honestly say that I feel stronger and my body feels more aligned than when I was in my early twenties. My pain is gone. These people are highly intelligent professionals with the sincere concern for prevention and pain relief. It's hard for me to be objective, but Rebecca and NNC have dramatically improved the quality of my life and I feel grateful each day for this association." ~ (name withheld by request)

"I am 53 years old and am a full-time Registered Nurse.
When I was referred to Nashville Neuromuscular Center, I was hurting in many places; back, neck, and shoulders especially. I felt really frustrated,because I thought 'If I feel like this in my 50's, how will I ever make it in my 70's?' So, when I was asked what my goals were by being there, I replied that I woud like to be stronger so I could play volleyball longer and that I would like to have my pain decreased.
I was surprised, very pleasantly, to hear Rebecca say that I should aim to be pain free. I had not had that thought before, since I had always believed that everyone has some pain they have to bear.
Rebecca's encouragement, as well as always taking a thorough history, giving hands-on care, and very practical hints to improve my posture, alignment and attitude gave me a lot of relief. Just being told that it was possible to learn to sleep in a better position made me try it, and to my surprise and great joy, my back pain is much better. My shoulders are better also, in part due to exercise she gave me, and in part from the foam supports she made for my car seat which make me sit up straighter and hold my shoulders in much better form.
This information and encouragement has made a huge difference in my life and just being made aware of the ways in which I was living a lifestyle that increased stress and strain on my body has helped me to adjust and change, so that I now have hope of playing volleyball many more years, and also of being pain free for a lot more of my life. I can't say how much I appreciate and how much I learned from Rebecca. She not only gave me a new way of life, but she also gave of herself, which is evident by her dedication and enthusiasm for her job. It seems to be more than a job to her, and that can make all the difference in results.
I highly recommend this company to anyone who is having problems similar to mine and feel strongly that it is a useful method of returning one to a healthier and happier life."

"My chiropractor referred me to NNC for constriction in my neck and pain in my neck and shoulders. I've also suffered with low back pain for years, but only in the last year had begun to feel the constriction as well. Another major problem was related to general stiffness in my shourder blades and upper back. I've learned how pivotal your spinal health is to all your body's functioning. I've been significantly helped by [the therapists at NNC] and have regained full range of motion in my neck without pain. In fact, the constriction had become so familiar to me that I had developed the habit of not turning my head to look before changing lanes which of course eventually led to an accident. I'm ecstatic to say that I no longer have that problem! The Sacral wedge and Posture Control Inserts have been tremendous. I thank God for NNC and how they've helped me. ~Kyna Moore
“I suffered from neck pain and severe headaches for ten years. I visited every doctor that anyone recommended. There is no way to figure how many dollars were spent by me and my insurance company to no avail. Then someone suggested that I make an appointment with Rebecca Saindon. After everything I had been through I really didn’t have much faith, but I was in so much pain I would have done most anything. After only two visits I knew I was on the right path. She explained everything she was doing and gave me exercises to do at home to accelerate the process. Almost immediately my headaches became less frequent. She also suggested other things that would help me, from the way my office is arranged to the way I lie in bed at night. After only a few months of neuromuscular massage therapy, I am pain free for the first time in ten years. There is no way to explain how this feels. If you are reading this, you are contemplating making an appointment. Don’t put it off any longer. You deserve to feel good again.” ~ Nina Crain

"I was experiencing pain in my right front shoulder from carrying a heavy briefcase when I travel. This pain had been increasing over the last twelve months and was keeping me out of the gym. Rebecca Saindon has brought me back to life. I am pain free in only four sessions of neuromuscular massage. A miracle you say? Perhaps! However, the healing hands of the professionals at the Nashville Neuromuscular Center have made my pain go away and taught me techniques and stretches to keep it from coming back. I cannot say enough about the caring, relaxed, professional approach and atmosphere in which I was treated. Bravo! Thank you so much." ~Craig U. Colby "Pain was a constant in my life. I had forgotten what it felt like to feel good. Now after only three weeks, working with Rebecca Saindon at the Nashville Neuromuscular Center, I feel normal and I have the tools to use at home to continue feeling good. After 20+ years of pain, this is truly a miracle in my eyes."
~Sandy Swofford
"Rebecca, I went out the other afternoon to practice golf. Hit 150 (at least) golf balls and never felt the strain on my back, legs or arms. I spent almost 2 hours there. Also I walked to pick the balls up and my legs did not give away. However, without your exercise regiment, I would have broken every bone in my body. I look forward to seeing you on Thursday!!" ~ETH, Realtor

"I found the Nashville Neuromuscular Center at a time when I was worried that my lack of mobility due to back, knee, and foot pain would severely limit my ability to do the things I wanted to do.
Rebecca Saindon worked me out of severe pain and then began to work on a progressive strengthening program. Without NNC, I believe my life would be much more limited today. I couldn't recommend NNC more."
Gayle Ray "Two months ago, after having severe S-I joint pain for the past 12 months, I was referred to the Nashville Neuromuscular Center. I have undergone 5 neuromuscular massage therapies with Rebecca Saindon in conjunction with acupuncture and yoga. I had 2 prior S-I joint injections, physical therapy, and drug treatment without any improvement. Since beginning this "alternative" regimen I have had significant pain relief and been able to greatly reduce the amount of pain medication required." ~Joyce Alfery
"I've been a client of NNC for about 5 years. They help keep me feeling good, enable me to be healthy enough to work hard, play hard and enjoy life without pain. Recently, Rebecca Saindon came to my office for an ergonomic consultation. Rebecca helped me reconfigure my office desk, computer keyboard and my chair so I can be well supported while I work. Rebecca also had great practical solutions for affordable ergonomic office furniture. With only a minimal investment, I now have a wonderfully comfortable set up, and my fatigue at the end of a long day at the computer has been greatly reduced. THANKS AGAIN NNC. You continue to be an integral part of my life." ~Billy Kirsch, President, Kidbilly Music LLC
