Shirley with Always Chiropractic & Wellness

I had never visited a massage therapist before, but after a training injury in 2014 a friend suggested I see Shirley. In a short period of time I was 100% rehabbed and back to training. I could not believe it! For this particular injury I had tried physical therapy and had seen a physiatrist specializing in sports medicine, all with little relief. Shirley was amazing in her assessment of my injury and how best to address it using various massage techniques. That was two years ago and I continue to seek out her expertise to maintain my rigorous training regimen and to get me ready for various alpine/​ice/​rock climbing trips and other fun activities. To say she is amazing is an understatement and I consider her part of my training «team» that helps me stay fit and active. I have since recommended her to several people and all sing her praises. She is the BEST!

Oh Shirley, Shirley, Shirley! I love this lady. Whenever I have any sort of ache or pain, she’s the first one I call. She always listens to exactly where I’m in pain and knows just what to do. I soooo look forward to my hour long massages with her. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone that was in need of a massage!

I have had massages from others and when I found Shirley I had to look no further. She does a wonderful job with helping take my pain away. Her prices are reasonable. I would highly recommend her if you are having any kind of body pain. She has a healing touch.

I’ve had a lot of massages in my life, and Shirley is simply THE BEST. I cannot say it enough: she has magic hands! She works deep in the muscles and unlocks tension in a way I’ve never had before. After about twenty seconds on the massage table, I am totally relaxed as in a way that I cannot replicate without Shirley. I’m in law school, so it’s hard for me to feel totally relaxed! My mom and I like exploring new places in Seattle, but now that we have experienced massage with Shirley, she is literally the only massage practitioner who we will go to.
If you have had a few professional massages, you may know that a lot of massage practitioners either give a massage that goes really deep but feels painful, or doesn’t go deep enough and, though relaxing, won’t give you the healing benefits of massage. Not Shirley. She has a technique that feels so good and relaxing throughout. And, because of the deep muscle work she does, you feel amazing for days after the massage. I don’t know how to describe it other than Shirley drains out toxic pockets of stress from my body.
Massages are a luxury, but maintaining one’s health is not optional. I highly recommend Shirley’s massages for mental and physical well-​being.
