Adina DeSantis: Health & Wellness

“Adina is the best! When suffering from lower back and knee pain, she was recommended for physical therapy. She coached me through a very painful period with a combination of structural evaluation, physical therapy exercises and hands on massage therapy.  She is quite skilled in her field, understands the healing process and maintains a positive attitude. She listens well and customizes the treatment plan to individual needs. I’m now able to once again enjoy my active lifestyle. I highly recommend Adina!”

“If I can call it luck, it was incredibly lucky that I met Adina when I did. I had fallen off the roof and shattered my tibia, tore out my knee completely, and tore my shoulder rotator cuff. I was not in good shape! The Doctors said it was one of the worst breaks they had seen, and that I would walk with a limp the rest of my life, plus I would likely need a knee replacement within 5 years. Adina had just joined Nancy Edward’s The Chiropractic Centre. I started seeing Adina shortly after I got home from the hospital. Adina has a special gift for healing and an understanding of how the body works. She worked with me patiently, taught me several easy exercises that targeted strengthening the muscles that needed to be strong, and her massages helped ease me through recovery and I am sure heal faster.
Well, it is 5 years later now. I do not walk with a limp, and I have no intention of getting any knee replacement. But I do intend to continue working with Adina! I still see Adina every month, not because I have to, but because I want to. It just kept getting better. And she’s a great person to boot! I am thankful for Adina. She is a fantastic therapist!”

“Adina always helped me when I was performing for Teatro ZinZanni in Seattle.  She treated my shoulder and my neck that had been a problem for a long time due to my acrobat act.  Her combination of manual treatments and exercises calmed everything down and I had relief for the first time in a long time.  Because she showed me specific exercises I could continue to heal when I returned to Berlin.   The work I did with Adina was very important because it taught me a lot about how to take care of my body while working as an acrobat. She helped me so much!   Thank you again, Adina!”

“I am a circus performer for Teatro Zinzanni and travel the world entertaining with big cirque productions, TV shows and cabarets. Unfortunately, injuries are part of my work- some really serious.  Luckily, I always get the best therapists especially when I am working in Seattle.  Adina is by far one of the best in the world!  I can not count the times that she fixed me allowing the show to go on.  Go see Adina!”
