I began receiving treatments from Lisa in October of 2021 and am grateful to say I have been seeing her on a consistent basis since. I had major back surgery 11 years ago and have dealt with steady chronic pain since then; while the surgery was successful for the stability of my spine, it left me with many nerve and muscle issues. I sought care when I was at a low and felt as if my body was dying, at the age of 45… I was miserable. I sit at a desk all day and felt my body becoming stiffer from having such a sedentary lifestyle. I had a constant knot near my right shoulder blade that I attributed to using a mouse all day while working on the computer. Deep hip pain also became an issue for me – I thought for certain this was menopausal bursitis.
I’ve called Lisa the chiropractor of the muscles because she knows what needs to be adjusted and works the muscles into their natural place. Not only do her treatments stop the muscle spasms and work out painful nuances, but they also stick. My hip pain is virtually nonexistent today, also the nerve pain and numbness I had on my outer thighs since my back surgery is gone. She is very knowledgeable about the body and how the muscles work together; it helps that she has strong hands with a keen ability to locate the source of the issues. Unlike any treatments I’ve had in my life, her ability to get the stress out of my shoulders and neck has given me relief to the point of stopping many years of usage of Excedrin for headaches.
Not only would I recommend Lisa for your care, but I would also excitedly encourage it. I feel good again and am enjoying my life without the daily pain.

I’ve gone to see Lisa several times. She is great at reading me and has great energy. She has really helped me a lot with energy and physical issues. I highly recommend her.
Lisa’s magic hands combined with her knowledge and experience allow her to get deep down to the root of the issues leaving you in a better state of total well-being. Highly recommended!
Lisa has done a great job doing deep tissue therapy. She finds the points of tension I hold in my neck, shoulder and lower back and gets deep down into the tissue to work them out. I have had strain and tension in my neck and shoulders for years. I felt better from the first time I visited her and feel better then I have in years.
Lisa K Townsend is currently treating my scoliosis. I’ve had it since 6th grade and I have to tell you- I’ve seen scoliosis specialists, several chiropractors, had 3 different back braces, even other massage therapists. All of them have told me that I will need surgery eventually. I never knew scoliosis could be treated, but I tell people all the time now-deep tissue therapy is so much better for your body than going into surgery, go see Lisa!!!
It’s a very intense surgery and it’s been something I have been scared of since I first heard it. That is until I met Lisa! I had heard that she had been able to correct another girl’s scoliosis and knew I had to give her treatments a try. Since I’ve been seeing her, I feel a million times better! I had one shoulder that was higher than the other and she’s been able to even them out, as well as (with the exception of a small tilt on my lower back) has straightened my spine from top to bottom! (I never thought that would happen!!) Lisa is incredible and I recommend her to everyone that has any type of back/shoulder/muscle issue.
Lisa is awesome! She’s been working on my back since I had surgery back in January. I have had days where I have barely been able to walk in to her home and after her professional massage, breaking up of adhesions, and her other magic, I was able to walk out and get on with my day. Between the pool therapy I’m going through and Lisa’s work, my recovery is going to be long, but hopefully, with less negative impact on my life.
Lisa is unlike any other in terms of her expertise, clinical skills, and knowledge base. She knows anatomy (I am an RN and she put me to the test!) and has magic hands! She genuinely cares about her patients, is extremely flexible on Scheduling, and has a wonderful relaxed atmosphere. I’ve stayed for over two years! Highly recommend her. She does Reiki at the end which not a lot do but is very calming and leaves me always feeling more focused and energized.
