I came in for the first time because my husband had seen an article about Jennifer Casey in a Portland's Best medical practitioner's review. I had been having chronic hip pain for quite a while and had been treated by an acupuncturist with some improvement, but still I was plagued with pain and mobility issues. After my first massage, I experienced dramatic and lasting improvement, in both mobility and pain level. I had 2 massages from Dr Casey, and then went for more than a year before seeing her again. I have come to terms with the fact that I have an injury that may never be completely resolved. I'm not the kind of person who wants to use medications, even if they would help. I'm a nurse and have seen too many side effects. Stomach bleeding from Ibuprofen, loss of effect from narcotic medications with only an addiction and ruined receptor sites left behind. Now, the casual observer would not know I have a problem. I don't limp, or appear to have pain. Walking long distances can be problematical, but after working with Dr Casey I have done a 9 mile hike with 2500 ft elevation gain and was no worse for wear the next day. I find that after a massage from Dr Casey I feel no residual pain, and an immediate ease of movement in my pelvis and hips that carries over for many months, and has permanent benefit. I highly recommend her services if you have pain and you want to see change. She has helped me dramatically.
Pros: Lasting improvement in mobility, decrease in pain after one massage
