Client Reviews

"I have been a migraine headache sufferer for 16 years. Upon relocating to the Birmingham area I reviewed many websites related to therapeutic massage and chose to book an appointment with Linda. I instantly knew I had made the correct choice when upon my first visit, she asked several questions about my history and demonstrated to me, based upon my answers, exactly where my pain was! Linda is a true professional who has a passion for her work and for helping others. She attempts to zero-in on problem areas and to help you understand why ist is a problem area and the reasoning behind her therapeutic approach. I have followed her advice and after having completed several visits, have found that my condition has improved significantly. I suffer from fewer migraines and have been able to reduce the amount of high-powered medications I was taking to manage my pain." P.W.A., Fultondale, AL May/2009

"Linda, I want to thank you for your help in getting me through those 4 marathons in 4 months! It had been a goal of mine to run 4 marathons in a row to celebrate my milestone 40th birthday. I was not sure I would be able to do it because I had to stop running for a while after other marathons due to injuries I got during training. Even before the first of the 4 marathons, my IT band and hip were really becoming tight and inflamed. I am so glad Anne gave me your name! The therapy I got from you really helped my body recover form all the fatigue and tightness and got me ready for the next marathon. I can't believe that I am still able to run without having to take off months from running to recover! You truly have the gift of healing. Thanks again!" Liz, Birmingham, AL May/2009

"What impresses me most about Linda is her mastery of a variety of different massage modalities. Believe me, if you want a "feel good" massage, Linda is great at that, but what she's really amazing at is her deep tissue work for specific painful conditions. Linda has obviously dedicated her life to healing through body work, and it really comes alive in her touch. I have had the pleasure of being her client, and believe me, you will not be disappointed with the results of a session with Linda." James E. McMinn, M.D. July/2007

"My husband is an anoxic brain injury victim. He has reduced range of motion on his right side with a lot of tone. His massage work with Linda has improved his flexibility and range of motion in his right shoulder and arm. I feel the massage is also beneficial in reducing the effects of a contracture with his finger. His physical therapist has noted to me in his early recovery process that he could see the positive effects in my husband's walking ability." M.L.W., Tuscaloosa, AL. March/2003

"I am pleased to offer some observations about Linda Patterson in her role as a massage therapist. I began seeing her on a weekly basis because of a variety of neuromuscular problems, including fibromyalgia, degenerative disc disease, excruciating headaches and neck pain. She has helped me to achieve improvement in all areas. My headaches have decreased in severity, as has my neck pain. Also the joint pain throughout by body has decreased in intensity. Several weeks ago I began to experience such severe pain in my right foot that I could barely walk. Sometimes the pain was so severe I had to use crutches. Ms. Patterson has dramatically relieved the pain and crutches are no longer necessary." L.M., Tuscaloosa, AL. June/2003

"Linda is able to look and feel - and most importantly - listen to me before each session and apply her skills appropriately. Linda is one of the few, elite massage therapists that is able to feel bands of muscles in problem areas and work them out. You know I will continue to use you as you are the best massage therapist I have ever been committed to!" Dee T., Homewood, AL. July/2007

"Linda has a true gift! I have had chronic back pain for years and no one else seems to be able to find "that spot" and work it out. After I explained to Linda what I was feeling, she knew exactly what muscles needed the help and even found some I didn't know about! Now Linda is helping me through my pregnancy with massage. I make my massages with Linda a priority because it improves my quality of life!" Danielle George, Pelham, AL July/2007

"I have suffered with neck and shoulder pain for 10 years due to stress, poor posture and pregnancy. I started seeing Linda over a year ago and she changed my life! In the past, I thought I was not a "massage" person. I didn't like people rubbing on my neck and back. Linda made me a believer in therapeutic massage, With her knowledge and training, she has used her special touch to work my target areas and basically eliminated my pain. I continue to see her and will always recommend her to anyone in the market for a massage therapist." Jill Edwards July/2007

"Linda is very intuitive and perceptive - she listens, watches your posture and tailors the massage to your needs that day. I have had many massages, all pleasurable, but until I became Linda's client, I didn't realize you could feel "improved" after a massage not just relaxed. Linda is a true therapist that I would recommend over any other therapist I've seen. " Sandra August/2007
