People have chronic pain issues that are not completely resolved for various reasons. They are usually sent to pain management specialists and/or placed on pain medications which mask symptoms, but the underlying issues are not addressed or resolved.
Clients experience significant reduction or resolution of chronic pain with Craniosacral and Myofascial Release Therapy.
Pain or dysfunction from old injuries or trauma can reappear for no apparent cause. Many have learned to live with this pain that is unneccessarily limiting in their daily lives.
Craniosacral Therapy is an extremely effective treatment that can decrease or resolve pain and limited movement associated with "old age". It can improve posture and balance. As pain issues are lessoned or resolved, the patient can move to strengthening exercises that can increase strength and energy levels and allows the patient to return to more normal activities.
Craniosacral Therapy is also quite effective in the treatment of various neurological disorders such as PTSD, spinal cord injuries, coordination impairment, migraines, headaches and cerebral palsy.
After years of trying to manage a painful shoulder on my own, she was able to help me find relief within a few sessions. Her professionalism and dedication cannot be overstated. She is truly the best.

Ella is so experienced, she knows exactly where the patient needs help. The relief I experienced was instant and done in a quiet, restful atmosphere. I highly recommend her.

I cannot recommend Ella Nelson highly enough. Not only does she have tremendous knowledge, skill, and experience, but she also attunes her energy to her patients energy. She has really helped me with my fibromyalgia pain more than any other treatment i have experienced.

As I was scheduled to see a chiropractor 3 times a week with no real positive results. I decided to make an appointment with Mrs. Nelson. After an hour session, much to my surprise, I had no neck or shoulder pain. I do know every case is different, but in mine, I cannot say enough good things about her. I highly recommend her.

I began seeing Ella 20 months after I fell and suffered a traumatic brain injury. Most of my symptoms resolved after 9 months. However, I continued to experience some persistent headaches and scalp tenderness and struggled with word finding.
Honestly, I was skeptical but willing to try an ‘alternative’ method to help with my symptoms. I am still not sure how the cranial massage Ella uses works - but it has worked nonetheless. My headaches decreased in both frequency and intensity, and my aphasia has definitely improved. These symptoms are not completely gone ( I have seen Ella for four months) but they definitely improved. I am impressed by the treatment because the injury occurred long before. I not only appreciate the results, but the Therapy time itself. Ella is an expert at what she does, and has a wonderful warm and calming presence.

Nearly three years ago, Kimber suffered a severe brain injury that resulted in multiple facial fractures. As a result, she experienced debilitating migraines that lasted for multiple days and resulted in her missing several consecutive days of school. In addition, she also experienced muscle imbalances and facial asymmetry. Over the course of several months, Kimber’s headaches were greatly reduced. She has not missed a day of school due to a headache in over a year. When she does get a headache, they are minor and are treated with homeopathic remedies. In addition, her muscle imbalances have greatly improved, as did her fascial symmetry.

I am a 76 year old female and I started seeing Ella Nelson for a variety of reasons in 2018. I had two objectives, one was to correct my posture or at least make it better and, two, was to improve my balance.
I have seen results, both in my posture and in my balance. I can walk more normally and straighter rather than all over the sidewalk. I especially like the fact that her background is as a Physical Therapist which enables her to re-position my feet to the place that they should be as well as aligning my knees and hips. I give her 5 stars!

I am a senior citizen and in the last few years I have needed therapy treatments. Some of the treatments were mainly doing exercises with little hands-on treatment from other therapist.
I was having restricted movement or pain due to my age and I went to Ella for therapy. She listens to your reasons for seeking therapy and begins a thorough series of using her hands to assess the problem. She identifies problems by observing the manner in with you stand or move. Then her hands begin to find the source of problems and those hands have been trained to “read” every muscle in the body.
Ella observes her patients as to their posture, manner of walking and overall body movement. She concentrates on your concerns while knowing that the entire body can be affected and is in need of attention.
Ella’s hands and mind have been trained to understand the human body and to recognize how that body must be treated as a whole.
Gentle hands, excellent knowledge of the entire body guides Ella in her therapy sessions and gives me great confidence in the care that I receive from her.

I was referred to Ella Nelson by a myofunctional therapist after having a tongue tie release. Over the year that I have been seeing Ella she has worked on the many issues resulting from growing up tongue tied and chewing difficulties with TMJ. It was obvious to Ella how much trauma my body had experienced from a car accident 13 years prior. She continued further craniosacral work into the pain I had learned to live with on a daily basis. Together, we peeled back the layers of muscle memory from the trauma dramatically improving my everyday life. Ella Nelson has a very keen eye for body symmetry and an incredible strength for influencing muscle. I have been receiving chiropractic treatments almost weekly prior to the cranialsacral therapy. I can honestly say that I am retaining excellent posture and muscle growth and a greater awareness of my bodies needs with no chiropractic upkeep. With Ella’s help, I quite literally hold my head up higher without pain or struggle.

I have had low back pain, my whole adult life. My chiropractor retired and Ella was recommended. Good recommendation. If I don’t do something stupid I’m pretty much pain-free. Highly recommended.

Ella Nelson has done more to identify and relieve some muscular-skeletal issues in my back and leg than any number of osteopaths and chiropractors that I have seen. She carefully analyzed my posture, gait, range of motion and resting positions of my body, taking careful notes and data on her observations. Her gentle and precise manipulations have released numerous overly tight muscles, and I am now walking near normally after only two months of weekly treatments. She understands the intricacies of the anatomical structures involved, and we discussed where tender or sore spots occur, describing the involved, muscles and bones. Most importantly, she listens to my reporting of where discomfort is occurring and adjusts her treatments according to my feedback. I couldn’t ask for a better PT.

Ella has helped me in my recovery from full knee replacement. A surgery that did not have great results and if not for Ella's attention to my problems, I would be in so much more trouble today trying to walk and keeping the effects of improper walking to a minimum. My back and neck has been severely affected by my bad balance and over a compensation of my knee. Now Ella is helping me with those challenges as well. Thank you, Ella for all you are doing for me.
