Testimonials

“Before I started working with Charlene, I had pretty severe back pain. I was unable to bend over and stand up again without pain. I became fearful to do anything that would injure it. My pain level was at an 8 all the time. Work was hard and stressful because I was worried about hurting myself and having to take time off. I couldn’t play with my kids, I couldn’t enjoy boating or other things I like to do because of back pain. I felt some pain relief from massage but the pain would always come back. After only my second MyoKinesthetics session, I felt no pain. Charlene and BodyWork Concepts has really changed my life. I am able bodied. I can bend over, pick-up my kids and even carry them for a half a mile. I can work like I did in my 20s. I was a little depressed feeling broken and now I am happy and can do everything I want to do!”

“I was diagnosed and suffering with plantar fasciitis. One foot hurt so bad it would keep me up at night. During yoga, I could not lay still. I had to keep moving my feet because it hurt my heels so bad. I couldn’t stand or walk any distance at all. I had tried cortisone shots, multiple custom fit orthotics, physical therapy, stretching, icing, the sock thing that pulls your foot up. It was depressing. I couldn’t walk, run, shop. No matter what shoes I wore, I was in pain all the time. My yoga instructor suggested I try deep tissue massage and she sent me to Charlene.

Charlene did deep tissue massage and MyoKinesthetics. It was very gradual but it got better and better each time. At first I could lay in bed and it didn’t hurt. Pain was less and less each time. Finally, I was virtually pain free and able to wear other shoes without orthotics. I was even able to wear high heels at my daughters wedding – pain free!”

“Exceptional care and concern describes the services I received over the course of a 2 year health crisis with Charlene Rayers at Bodywork Concepts. I live in Texas and struggled with an undiagnosed health issue that took me on a maze of 9 specialists and a pending apt. with Mayo clinic. Charlene became involved with my care long distance and within months had a diagnostic health plan mapped out for me. With a customized health and wellness plan she was able to identify and treat my illness. No conventional medical physician was able to help me. I got my health back at the hands of Charlene and I thank God for her and Bodywork Concepts!”

“A co-worker recommended Charlene when I mentioned I was suffering from plantar fasciitis. I had been told that the typical physical therapy treatment is usually fairly painful deep massages and along with painful exercises. My experience with Charlene’s therapy was anything but. She performed an evaluation and we started a treatment plan. It only took a few sessions for my pain to subside and only a few months for the pain to go away completely. It has been almost a year and that horrible heel pain has not returned. I would, and have, recommend Charlene to family and friends telling them she is a miracle worker.”

“Before I went to see Charlene, I was uncomfortable while bike riding. It would ache for every ride. Even just sitting, it would throb. Her assessment pinpointed the area that was hurting. Charlene targeted in on that and it felt better after the first visit. She also gave me some stretches and the pain has gone away! She broke the chain of pain. Charlene healed me!”

“I have consistently seen Charlene  since 2013 when she was recommended to me as someone who could and would help me find the cause and cure for my debilitating pain.  For years, I had gone the route of traditional medicine to no avail. She introduced me to MyoKinesthetics (a retraining of the central nervous system).  Not only did she identify my issues but she was committed to the possibly long process of healing me and that’s exactly what happened!  For the first time in many years, I am PAIN FREE all due to Charlene and her highly skilled expertise, dedication and caring attitude.”
