Pain & Swelling Solutions Reviews

My Pain After Plastic Surgery Eased ★★★★★

I had plastic surgery (lipo, BBL, and boob job) and came to see Shannon two days afterwards. She was so helpful, kind, and GENTLE. I dreaded getting lymphatic massage because I heard that it was painful, but it wasn’t. I felt so relaxed and my pain was eased by the time I left my first session. I healed so much faster than expected. My surgeon was surprised. She also has a great scar gel that helps with the pain after lipo. Highly recommend!!! – Stephanie T. (Yelp Review)

Highly Recommend if You Are Post-Surgery ★★★★★

Shan was awesome. Knows her stuff and very easy to talk talk to. Felt a difference after session. Highly recommend if you are post surgery/recovery. –Anonymous (MassageBook Review)

Wildly Impressed! ★★★★★

Shannon is well versed in her practice and I am wildly impressed with her! I am excited to share more about the services she offers with many people I know who can benefit from her treatments. We are fortunate to have her in the New Mexico market and my treatment with her today was exceptional!!! I highly recommend Shannon! –Terri Dean (Google Review)

Definitely Recommend to Anyone Recovering from Surgery ★★★★★

Shannon treated me after surgery. She explained the process and her techniques very clearly. I believe I healed more quickly than had I not used her services. I’m pleased with the results and definitely recommend her to anyone recovering from any surgery. –Anonymous (MassageBook Review)

I Can't Imagine Going Anywhere Else! ★★★★★

I highly recommend Shannon Goins. She is extremely knowledgeable about lymphedema and takes a lot of time to explain and educate, especially in the first appointment. I greatly appreciate all the information on her website as well. I cannot imagine going anywhere else! Thank you Shannon! 🙂 –Jaclyn Austin (Yelp & Google Reviews)

Very Well Trained ★★★★★

She ended up not doing a Lymph massage because of some things going on. I appreciated that she explained why it was not good for me to have it. She is very well trained in other areas of massage and overall very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend her and would definitely go back. –Anonymous (MassageBook Review)

Kind, Caring and Effective ★★★★★

Kind, caring, and effective. This lady blew me away. I went to her because I’ve had this swelling for a long time after my surgery and I’ve not had any success with other practitioners. She was so kind and so caring. She really had my best interests at heart. She’s not another practitioner that only wants to make money. She actually cares. I felt so comfortable with her that not only did I forget that I was afraid, but we had a really nice conversation as well. It was so refreshing to get worked on by someone who was really interested in my well-being. Here you aren’t just another patient. Highly recommend. –Amy Chandler (Google Review)

Walked Out of My First Session with No Pain ★★★★★

I am by nature and upbringing a very skeptical person. I live on the “prove it” side of life and Shannon proved it. I have had ankle pain for years and walked out after my first session with no pain. What a difference. –John B. (MassageBook Review)

Very Professional ★★★★★

Very professional. Targeted my trouble areas. Felt wonderful after. –Rich E. (MassageBook Review)

Very In-Tune & Great Touch! ★★★★★

Very in-tune in finding things on my body that needed more work. Great touch that although you might not think is making a difference (vs deep tissue which hurts!) it really does and you will feel it the next day. I had a muscle knot in my calf I didn’t even know I had, Shannon worked on it and although I could feel she was it wasn’t painful. The rest of the day I could feel slightly where the knot was but the next day – gone! She has lots of cross-knowledge and skill. Lois B. (MassageBook Review)

Overall a Great Experience ★★★★★

It was overall a great experience. –Fay A. (MassageBook Review)

Shannon is Now a Part of My Regular Wellness Program ★★★★★

Wonderful Therapist! I am not the type of person who normally posts reviews, but after my session with Shannon the other day I feel compelled to share my story of how she helped me. I have been living with chronic pain for years. I have been to doctors and therapists and more doctors and more therapists. No one has been able to figure out what was wrong with me. I had about a half an hour consult with her to decide if I wanted to try yet another person. She was so friendly, so knowledgeable, and so considerate that she made me feel really at ease. We talked at length about my health history and she made sure that working on me would be ok for *my* body with *my* conditions. (This was really impressive. She was more thorough than most doctors I’ve seen.) Since we didn’t know what was wrong and caused all of my pain, she didn’t claim that she could “fix” me. She only said that it sounded like lymphatic therapy could help and that I would know after one session if it would be effective. Honestly, I was somewhat skeptical, but I decided to give it a go. She really seemed to know a lot, so I took a chance – and boy, am I glad I did. By the time I left her office not only did I know what the lymphatic system was (I didn’t when I went in), but I also knew all the ways that it affected my body. How did I make it to my age and not know this about my own body? The session was pleasant. I was kind of afraid of the electro-lymphatic machine she wanted to use, but I got used to it and it was no big deal. You think when you see it that it might hurt, but it doesn’t at all. We were so lost in conversation about my illness that I wasn’t really thinking about how I was feeling until our time was up. Then, when I got up off of the table to get dressed I realized that my pain had gone down a lot. I could breathe for the first time in I don’t know when, and I just felt better. I can’t believe that a single session helped me so much. I can’t believe that I learned so much – and it was fun. She has a very nice demeanor and can tell you lots of complicated information in a way that is very easy to understand. Shannon is now a part of my regular wellness program. I am so happy that I found her! –Elizabeth Johnson (Google Review)

Serious Results ★★★★★

Serious results from a knowledgeable practitioner! Not only is Shannon polite and professional, she is also a really nice person who is easy to talk to. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from a Myofascial Release / Myofascial Massage, but I can say that I was VERY happy with the results. 100% recommended! –Phillip T. (MassageBook Review)

Answers to Questions Were Easy to Understand ★★★★★

I had a lot of questions and they were all explained to me in answers that were easy for me to understand. –Anonymous

A Provider with Considerable Expertise ★★★★★

I loved the educational aspect and that I understood in advance what I would be experiencing. Shannon is a provider with expertise considerably above anyone else I have experienced in the field of lymphatic (or other) massage. I am very excited about Shannon’s offerings and have already started telling others. –Anonymous (MassageBook Review)

Healed So Much Faster! ★★★★★

Healed So Much Faster! Shannon was AWESOME and aided in me healing a lot faster than anticipated.

I Felt Good Immediately ★★★★★

Besides being an authority in the field of manual lymph drainage, Shannon Goins provided an effective treatment for my delayed onset muscle soreness. I just started back at the gym and my musculoskeletal feels flushed out. This is a cleansing modality treat should be tried by anyone experiencing post-operative or tissue damage of any kind. Highly recommend. –Jason Goldberg (Google Review)

Tremendous Improvement! ★★★★★

I just had a hour session with Shannon on a Friday and now it is Monday and I can’t say how much improvement I have felt and it is still working. As soon as the treatment was done I felt my whole head and chest open up and it has stayed that way which is incredible because I have had asthma since I was 5 and have been on steroids for as long as I can remember. Now I have lessened my use of those inhalers and I feel great. I have so much more energy as well. I can’t wait to see what other changes I will be able to see as I continue with this therapy. Shannon has a wealth of knowledge, is thorough and has a true do no harm attitude!! I already have my next appt in the works!!! –Tamara G. (MassageBook Review)

Helped Me Turn Around My Pains ★★★★★

This was my 3rd treatment with Shannon. Each has helped me turn around some pains that I couldn’t deal with alone. Her caring, careful questions and subsequent plans for treatment of each visit has given me great hope. –Brenda H. (MassageBook Review)

Haven't Felt This Good in Years ★★★★★

I came to see Shannon at the unceasing insistence of a friend of mine. I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and doctors couldn’t help me. In looking for alternative therapies, I read that lymphatic drainage could help, so I tried one of those chain massage places that offered lymphatic massage, but didn’t feel any different afterwards. When my friend insisted that I try Shannon, I didn’t understand why I should throw more money at a therapy that hadn’t worked…but I’m glad that I listened to my friend, because her therapy and what I got at the big box massage place were not at all the same. I came to learn that Shannon has very advanced training in the lymphatic system. Not only did she provide a great and very helpful therapy, but I understood what she was doing and why. She is very good at making it easy to understand what she is doing. I haven’t felt this good in years! I will definitely be back! –Gina Davis (Google Review)

She Gave Me Relief ★★★★★

She was amazing! She’s so full of knowledge and I was very comfortable. I signed up for a 90 min and extended to the 120 min in the middle of the massage.
