They spend so much time singling out what may be troubling you. If you’re active in any way, you’re going to experience pain and injury. Surgery should be the last option. Try this place first. And if you’re not active, you may still have pains! Try this place first.

Hannah is so knowledgeable about all things PT related, and so valuable for complex pain and chronic conditions! She makes you feel comfortable during her dry needling treatments! I get instant relief! I love how she and her mom, Heather, have brought such a holistic wellness practice to Galveston! So many relaxing and healing things to choose from!
