Carolyn Cerbo Digestive Health & Therapeutic Massage
Reviews
June 24, 2014 My name is John. I am 66 years old and I TRY to enjoy a 2 mile walk 3 or 4 times a week. About a year and a half ago muscle cramps started developing in my lower back and legs which at times were so bad that walking two miles was just not possible. I would get about 1/4 mile into my walk start cramping up and have to cut the walk short. Carolyn Cerbo is a trusted friend of 5 or 6 years that I know to be a caring professional who is passionate about her work in the areas of nutrition/naturopathy and massage therapy ("orthopedic bodywork"). Initially I did not go to Carolyn with my problem because her practice is about 90 miles from my home. Instead I used a massage therapist in my area who worked specifically on the muscle or muscle groups that were bothering me. This worked short term but in a few weeks I would find myself back on her table again. When I called Carolyn and explained the problems I was having she: a. Scheduled me an appointment about 2 weeks out. It was 2 weeks out because we are both busy people. b. Suggested I try Epsom Salts baths in the mean time, which I did and the baths helped some. In my first session with Carolyn she: a. Carefully analyzed my symptoms. b. Identified and correctly diagnosed my problems! c. Showed me some exercises to do at home on my own. d. Recommended a successful course of treatment to fix my problems which included 3 sessions close together. For a day or two after the first session I had some muscle soreness, which was expected, but was able to complete my walks without cramping up. However, I continued following Carolyn's instructions - taking the Epson salt baths and exercising. When I went in for my second session with Carolyn I told her "Ya fixed my body!", I have been pain free for almost 2 weeks and I am walking without cramping up. Carolyn was pleased with the improvement but suggested that we go on with the session anyway explaining that a cumulative effect can be achieved through multiple visits close together. I am so glad we did! After completing the second session I am experiencing a whole new level of Pain Free! When I walk now it is like every muscle in my body is flowing together. Everything feels so smooth! My energy is up, my pace has increased even my posture is improved. Can't wait for the third session. Thank You Carolyn!
I love, love, love Carolyn Cerbo's massage therapy. There are truly not enough stars to rate the excellent service she provides. Lufkin is truly blessed to have her in this area. I will continue this review at a later time, when I have more time. This is not nearly enough of what I want to say about Carolyn. Okay, I'd like to add a bit more about Carolyn's wonderful work...She is very knowledgeable about how the body functions and how our muscles work. If you are having pain of any kind such as a "catch" in your shoulders, lower back pain, leg pain, neck pain, wrist pain, etc., Carolyn can definitely help you. Digestion or weight issues? Carolyn can educate you and offer solutions for these problems also. She is very professional, respectful of your privacy, and tops off this with encouragement. This lady is a joy to be around and will treat you like you have known each other for a long time. May God continue to bless and expand her work and ministry to this area. As I've said before, but not often enough, she is a true blessing to the Lufkin area.
I have trouble with pain in my lower back, hips,thighs, and it seems to be moving lower now below the knees. I visited Carolyn yesterday and the pain was much improved after the appointment. Today I will estimate my pain to be a 5 on the 1 to 10 scale. She explained to me that it would require additional visits to help relieve the tightness I have acquired over the past years from a job where I did a lot of sitting. I am looking forward to the next massage. It is so worth my hour drive to feel so much better. Thank you Carolyn
I was at a family gathering. Carolyn was there as well, as she is kin to me. She worked on my upper back one of the evenings, and brought relief. She was encouraging and respectful.
