“My energy levels are like night and day”

By Christine Ruppert | Published July 31, 2019

Christine’s assessments, alignment corrections, neuromuscular and lymphatic drainage sessions always help me feel better physically, plus I have more energy. When my allergies/sinuses or stomach are giving me issues, I know Christine will clear them up. My energy levels are like night and day after a lymphatic drainage session. It’s amazing because I don’t need to take any medications, yet my body is able to heal itself after Christine uses her knowledge and magic touch skills. I had a feeling I had alignment issues and Christine validated that by taking measurements to show me where my alignment was off. Christine’s extensive knowledge of the body systems has healed medical issues that multiple specialists could not solve. You will not find someone with her training and specialties at Massage Envy and Christine is worth it.

In my practice in Rockville, I have an extensive array of techniques that can help you relieve your back pain, whether chronic or acute. continue reading »
