Hands on Healing

Gary is amazing at what he does, very knowledgeable. He has helped not only myself…my son and mom also 3 generations, age is not a problem. I have and will continue to recommend him to anyone that shares w/me their pain,digestive,etc. issues.

I have seen Gary for more than one issue. He’ is courteous and he welcomes your feed back. I was in a car wreck over 10 years ago and suffered some injuries to my neck. I had been seeing a chiropractor for years and needed better relief. I found it with Gary. I had reoccurring UTI’s, And I had broken my tailbone twice, Gary was able to treat my issues and give me relief. I feel so much better. And I continue to return, to see what else Gary finds to release in my body. I highly recommend Gary as a practitioner. He really does have healing hands.

I have been struggling with upper back pain that interfere with my sleeping and breathing for around 15 years. I am a physician myself and I have tried various treatments including, trigger point injections, TENS, massage, chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy but nothing gave me any significant relief. I am a classical dancer, so posture wasn’t my issue either! When I tried facial-counterstain treatment all I was looking for was a little relief from pain but I was surprised by the results. After the first treatment session, my pain reduced from a nagging 7/10 to 1/10. After my second treatment, I am pain free! I used to have axial tenderness on my spine for years, but not anymore! I was able to drive for 3 hours, sit in an 8 hour flight without significant discomfort and despite the travel, I’m still pain free. I have not been pain free for 15 years!! I wish I had the opportunity to refer patients who struggle with pain to Gary! Or bring the facial-counterstrain treatment into mainstream medicine rather than pushing opioids. For anyone who is suffering from pain, I highly recommend Gary!

Gary Collins at hands on healing has been incredible to work with! He’s very knowledgeable and is the only one I would trust to work on newborn! My little one had quite a few restrictions following a tongue and lip tie release contributing to difficulty settling , reflux, and difficulty latching/feeding. After working with Gary all of these areas have significantly improved leading to a happier baby which in turn means a happier mama! Thanks Gary for the wonderful work you do!

YES, a thousand times, YES! My tennis elbow was 80% improved after one treatment. It was unbelievable; I wish I had known about this option four months ago. Gary is kind and his techniques very gentle. Do I recommend Gary? ABSOLUTELY! I am trying to arrange an appointment for my parents! If you are in pain- go see Gary! You won’t be sorry.

I recently met Gary in a hostel while traveling abroad. He was helping another traveler with a sore shoulder, and after about 20 minutes she said his work really helped her. I tentatively asked if he had the time to check out my sore ankles (we were all walking a long-distance pilgrimage), and he readily agreed. I was so impressed with his immediate commitment to help me, and his absolute attention to detail as he moved through various protocols for ankle pain. He generously gave me two treatments that day. My pain lessened, and I was able to (very slowly) walk several miles the next day, something I would not have been able to do otherwise. Gary's expert care had helped my healing to "turn the corner". This cheered me up and gave me the confidence to renew my own bodywork techniques on my ankles. Within a couple of days, I was back on the trail, walking pain-free.

Full disclosure....i have fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis with that being said I have to admit I was a sceptic at first, but after the second visit my pain and tingling was significantly less. After the second week my pain and tingling was completely gone!! He is now working on other issues that I have had for years. I highly recommend Gary for any issue that you are experiencing!
