Wellness Sport & Spine Chiropractic and Massage

Wellness Sport & Spine Chiropractic and Massage Therapy is conveniently located on FSU’s main campus and same building as the student Health and Wellness Clinic. I previously seen Dr. Brian Farrell which was an amazing experience. Great doctor with awesome bedside manner. Recently I was seen by Dr. Van Tassel and immediately felt a huge difference right after a couple of adjustments and exercise techniques. The adjustments alleviate the pain right away and the exercise techniques helped prevent the pain from returning right away. After the visit I felt relieved and relaxed. I didn’t need to take any muscle relaxers or otc pain reducing medications later that evening or night. Dr. Van Tassel has a great bedside manner and what I refer to as an old school doctor, very personable and knowledgeable. The office is not bustling with a lot of people or noise. The front office assistant is very friendly and soft spoken but professional and proficient. I look forward to my next visit. I’ve even recommended this office to my coworkers who also work in the medical field.

Brian Farrell is an amazing chiropractor that always gets right to my issues without delay. I’m very thankful for his professional nature and listening skills. He is like a gentle giant with healing hands. I’ve sent several referrals to him that have all experienced the same type of care!

I have been going to FSU’s chiropractic care (Wellness Sport & Spine) for the better half of this year. I have seen both Dr. Farrell (amazing) and Dr. Parker. Dr. Farrell was the first chiropractor to make me feel like I was heard, That even though I am young, this pain is real and he showed the compassion I needed to bring me back. I just started doing treatment with Dr. Parker and I have already felt understood and cared for with him as well. Whoever the Dr. or Massage Therapist may be, you are in wonderful, caring hands.

Wellness Sport and Spine/Athletic Family Chiropractic and Massage is the first chiropractic office I've been to in Tallahassee that truly cares about their patients. Previous offices would ask whats wrong, quickly "adjust" , then send me on my way, without granting any relief. At WS&S, I see Dr. Parker, and he is kind, attentive, and really listens to you and what's going on instead of rushing you through visits. The front desk staff is also always friendly, and scheduling appointments is always quick and easy, especially if you need a new and/or last minute appointment.

I’ve come to this practice on and off for several years, and every time I’ve received the care and relief I was looking for. I’ve had everything from back and neck issues (even from something as simple as sleeping wrong) to TMJ discomfort, and through a combination of adjustments, education, and at-home exercises, I’ve seen real improvement. For some issues, I felt noticeable relief after just 1–2 visits. For longer-term discomfort, like TMJ, it took several sessions — but the steady progress was worth it. My jaw no longer clicks or pops. Many people assume they just have to put up with pain or stiffness, but for me, a few focused visits have made a big difference. I’ve experienced less discomfort and better mobility, which has really improved my day-to-day life. The team is knowledgeable, supportive, and effective, especially Dr. Farrell who has helped me make steady progress over time. I’m very grateful for the care I’ve received here and highly recommend them.

I've had a lingering shoulder injury that I've been trying to take care of on my own, went in got a massage and in 30 minutes Aaron did more to heal my shoulder than 3 weeks of work on my own! Highly recommend!

Aaron Thomas, Massage Therapist is an excellent therapist. He listens and asks specific questions to evaluate my aches and pains. I appreciate his professionalism and concern for my well being.
