I have been coming to Susan for many years any time I injure myself or experience any abnormal pain or discomfort. I recently sprained my ankle very badly playing basketball and getting treatment from Susan has really accelerated the healing process. Highly recommend anyone who is experiencing pain or discomfort to pay her a visit.
