Client Testimonials

Shout out to Shannon! What an incredible job she did alleviating my back and shoulder pain in a very short time. I was unable to sit or prolong stand without excruciating pain in my lower back and my shoulder had an impingement from weight training. In just three sessions Shannon eliminated my back pain and increased my shoulder flexibility and range to almost 100%.
The reason I’m writing this is, I went to the doctors first for both issues and after numerous visits, x-rays, cortisone shots and therapy I was still hurting to the point of finding another solution. I researched about Myofascia and that’s when I found Shannon. She is very skilled at her profession and very professional. I still can’t believe that she was able to eliminate the pain so easily after I spent so much time, energy and money from the doctor’s visit and treatments. Being an active person and always pulling something, Shannon will and is my first stop to alleviate my issues.

I am in awe! I had no clue what to expect but Shannon was able to HEAL an issue in my neck I had been dealing with for decades! It was incredible. She also worked on my body just three short weeks after a pretty significant surgery and was able to release my scar tissue before it created major problems! I cannot thank her enough for the healing she created in my body! I will be a forever client and will always tell everyone I know to go see her. Myofascial release shouldn't be a last resort! It should be the first stop you make on the road to recovery!

I am SO beyond grateful for Shannon! She literally was gifted by God with healing hands! There is no denying it! Within moments of her doing her thing I felt instant relief and restoration on my injured knee! I was limping and in pain before hand and right after I was able to get up and feel no pain! I highly encourage you if your thinking you should go see her, don’t think about it just go! Have her help you become restored, healthy and whole! Oh and she is the kindest sweetest person ever to top
It off! Thank you, Shannon!!!!

Everything about my experience with Shannon was awesome. Her office was easy-to-find, restful & immaculate. She was soft-spoken, sensitive & a wonderful listener. Shannon did both myofascial release & scar release which I really needed 7 yrs after bilateral mastectomies & gracilis-flap reconstruction. She was not intimidated by the complexities of my body. Shannon worked thoughtfully & patiently on my body for 3 sessions while I was in San Diego. She is a very skilled practitioner whom I hope to visit again soon in her new ER, more beautiful location!

I'm a powerlifter in my free time and I push my body pretty hard when I'm training. I often make the mistake of ignoring the nagging little pains that come along with it - shame on me! I had been having a tightness issue in my back/shoulder for about 9 months before I found Shannon at SD Myofascial Release. I read through her whole website and watched her 45 minute Q&A video. This was very interesting - I had never heard of this technique before and decided to give it a shot. Wow, am I glad I did!! I booked 3 sessions, every other morning for a week with Shannon. After the first session I didn't feel much of a difference but it's one of those things that you have to be patient - especially if your body is all wound up like mine was. Oh man, by the evening after the second session, I could feel that I was going through my "healing crisis" and all of a sudden a spot on my back that hadn't popped in close to 2 years just shifted and popped. What a glorious feeling!! Now I go to SD Myofascial for maintenance as needed. Shannon is an expert in her craft and truly cares about her clients' wellbeing. Book your appointment, it's worth it.

I just know God put Shannon in my path so that I could experience complete healing in my back. My life had been taken over by pain and discomfort. I had done it all pain killers, muscle relaxers and weekly chiropractor visits. I had never heard of Myofascial release but I am now a believer!! In just 3 sessions I can honestly I haven’t been in pain anymore, small discomfort here and there but nothing like before at all!! I will be back!! I’m beliving for a day where I am back running marathons and wearing heals for fun

I started researching alternate pain relief options while struggling through longhaulers. I found Shannon and her Myofascial therapy and have not looked back. She does a great job explaining how recovery works and what you might feel for days after a session. I don’t know how this works, but it does.

I went to Shannon because I had chronic pain in my shoulder that was so bad that I could not lift my arm. Three sessions with her, and the pain is totally gone and I have all my mobility back in my shoulder.

It's amazing, because the work she does seems so subtle... but it definitely works! 5 stars and thank you!

Shannon Whitall at San Diego Myofascial Release in La Mesa is an absolute miracle worker! I've suffered from really debilitating piriformis issues on my left side for the past 3 years and have tried everything from regular massage to acupuncture to needling (not in CA!) to Ayurveda. Only traditional Ayurvedic Abhyanga massage (the real deal done in India) had come close to easing the pain, but those results only lasted a week. Then I discovered San Diego Myofascial Release, did just one treatment with Shannon for the piriformis issue, and I've been in ZERO pain since that treatment 6 weeks ago. It doesn't seem possible to me that such minuscule and painless adjustments that Shannon did to me in one single session completely released my piriformis, so I feel the need to shout this from the hills because this treatment was so darn successful! I was almost resigned to the fact that I'd just have to deal with piriformis syndrome the rest of my life, but thank goodness I found Shannon Whitall & San Diego Myofascial Release! I've even flown on several flights in the past 6 weeks across the country, which have always been a trigger for my piriformis syndrome, and I can honestly say I didn't even feel a twinge. I am a true believer, and Shannon, thank you - you have my business for life! Now I'm just going back every few weeks to work on other small but annoying aches and pains and alignment issues in the body because why the heck not? No need to live in pain anymore!
