"2013-05-30T00:00:00"^^ . "I purchased a Groupon to visit the Tranquility Point Therapeutic Massage... I figured I'd try it since it was so close to my work. Weeks went by and I finally made my appointment using their online appointment system, which was, by the way, super easy to use. My day arrived, I left work and drove to Chastain Avenue and got lost... I was in the correct parking lot, but still couldn't find suite# 2 so had to call them for directions. Annette answered the phone, gave me directions and walked outside to meet me. She was not at all what I expected, but had a big smile and was friendly so I kept going. Her studio is in one of those smallish multi-tennant office parks but it was clean and well organized. Annette gave me some paperwork and asked me why I'd come to see her. We discussed a childhood foot injury that is now giving me a lot of problems. I told her how my primary care doctor, my foot & ankle doctor and even an orthopedic surgeon couldn't seem to locate the source of my pain. I also told her I'd had an MRI and even a highly specialized, very specific cortizone shot... neither of which were at all helpful in finding the source of or relieving my pain.\n\nAs soon as she touched my foot I knew she had a different type of understanding than the other doctors did. She said that they were trying to fix structural bone issues, not muscle issues... which made sense to me as my foot had not been broken as a child, but badly stretched and pinched. She put some essential oil on my foot and moved it all around while applying pressure to certain spots. It was very helpful. After the session, she showed me some charts that better explained what she thought my issues were so I was able to see the muscles and compare normal muscle structure to what she said the muscles were like in my foot. I left her studio with no pain in my foot... after one visit with her, I'd learned more than all the other very expensive visits combined. She did of course tell me about her pricing (which is very reasonable) and how her referrals worked, but was in no way pushy. I enjoyed my time with Annette and I'll absolutely go back to her. I recommend Tranquility Point Therapeutic Massage for anyone that has pain that your doctor can't fix. If you don't want to take pills to manage your pain, try therapeutic massage, it really helps."^^ . "4"^^ . "2"^^ . "0"^^ . . . "10"^^ . .
