I really hesitated to write this review because I selfishly want to gate-keep but my healing experience has been beyond profound and I feel compelled to share my gratitude for Gio. I’m 36 years old and have had two spine surgeries in less than 2 years for herniated lumbar discs that were impacting my ability to walk, bend, lift, hold my bladder, etc. I went through many devastating periods of excruciating pain and disability since my first spine injury at age 19, and I had literally tried everything since then.

He described Giovanni as a “highly skilled and knowledgeable body worker”. Boy wa... read more

I went to SCBM on the recommendation of a friend who had dealt with scoliosis dysfunction and had dealt with chronic pain for a lifetime until finding Functional Patterns. I have a very activity lifestyle (dance, surfing, yoga) and a number of injuries, including those brought on by carrying and birthing two children. Chronic hip pain, throwing out my back and consistent shoulder pain where what brought me to Jessa at SCBM. I started to feel almost immediate relief just one month in but now after a year of training I am almo... read more
