Vinson
Testimonials
Over the past year and a half I have benefited from Vinson's
massage, stretching, knowledge, and kindness. After a long day of
work at a computer and raising my 3-year-old, I throw myself into my
passion: ballet. Ballet is a rigorous discipline and can cause
muscular imbalances. As with any sport, cross-training, stretching,
and healthful practices are encouraged and are necessary for longevity.
Vinson has helped me concurrently heal strained muscles and
safely practice ballet. My range of motion has not suffered from my
minor injuries and the pain associated with dancing through a minor injury
has been reduced. The healing process is safer and quicker. His
knowledge in the muscular and nervous systems is excellent and his massage
skills are intuitive. I enthusiastically recommend Vinson Foster's massage
and AIS stretching skills.

Since
college I have suffered from a repetitive stress injury (RSI)
brought on by long hours at the keyboard and probably related to an
old high school wrestling injury.
I have
had several surgeries on my wrist which helped for a time but never really
fixed the problem. Since my work
involves heavy use of the computer it has not really been possible to avoid
the actions that irritate the RSI. The purchase of an expensive
ergonomic keyboard and regular consumption of Ibuprofen, or vitamin-I as I
like to call it, made the situation manageable but still less than ideal.
Since
beginning sessions with Vinson Foster my need for ibuprofen to deal with
the wrist pain has significantly decreased. Vinson is both very
knowledgeable and very professional and I highly recommend that anyone in need
of therapeutic massage employ Vinson's services.

Vinson
and I graduated together from massage school. We are both passionate
about helping our clients to achieve health in body, mind and spirit.
Vinson has expanded his bountiful natural talent by becoming a certified
personal trainer and by attending seminars and studying ….
I am confident that Vinson himself will one day be nationally
recognized as an expert in the field of massage therapy.
On a personal note, over the past few months, Vinson has been working on
releasing multiple layers of tightness, immobility, trigger points,
and myofascial restrictions in my hands, arms and shoulders, a condition
that was threatening to end my massage career. He has done amazing
work, focusing on the problem areas, and finding just the technique that
works to release the restrictions. He is a well trained and gifted
therapist.

Hello
Vinson,
I just wanted
to formally thank you for the terrific job that you have done on the
flexibility and strength of my hips since we started working together this
past April of 2006. I just got approval today from the cardiologist to go
forward with my hip replacement operation this December. I'm totally
confident that the work you have done on my hips will enable me to have not
only a greater probability for a successful hip replacement, but an even
greater probability for a faster and healthier recovery.
Thank
you again Vinson for your outstanding work ethic and knowledge of how all
of our muscles move and how to make them move more freely. I highly
recommend your services to anyone.
With Sincere Thanks,
Joe

Vinson
has been my massage therapist for over a year. It has been the best year of
my life since I was 13 years old as far as relief is concerned from
headaches, TMJ headaches and migraines go. I am 46 years old now. I have
suffered with migraines since I was 13 being diagnosed then any ways. I
also had headaches 4-5 times a week growing up with migraines in the mix. I
herniated a disc in my neck almost 8 years ago and had 2 unsuccessful neck
surgeries. That only compounded the frequency and the intensity of both the
migraines and headaches.
For a couple of years I had daily migraines. Doctors tried everything to
help but NOTHING helped that much and nothing kept me from having that
migraine everyday. When I say everyday what I mean is it NEVER really went
completely away for 2 years. It would just vary in intensity with medicine,
hot water bottles, ice bags, and migraine medicine. Some of the migraine
medicine in the triptan family would help from time to time.
A few months after seeing Vinson on a regular basis, I only have a headache
or a migraine 2-3 times a month. I did not think that would ever be
possible for me. Not even that constant nagging feeling is there. My head not
to mention a neck that I could barely move a little over a year ago is
almost pain free 24/7 . Even the intensity of the headaches and migraines
now have calmed way , way down on the few that I still have .
Vinson has used many different techniques to help me. I really think his
diverse education in massage therapy techniques has been why he has been
able to help me maintain my wellness. He has taught me many different
stretching exercises so I can maintain all he has done for me. I wanted to
write this so people who were searching the web and come across his site
and wonder if there is hope for their headaches, TMJ headaches and
migraines can see that there is help and hope for them out there. Thanks to
Vinson's hard work and continual education to learn new things to help
people, my headaches and neck pain is very manageable for the first time in
over 30 years.
Thanks Vinson ,

My
husband of 72 years of age has been coping with slowly progressive Multiple
Sclerosis since the age of 47. He has been using a wheel chair for thirteen
of those years...........recently, within the past two years, his condition
has deteriorated to the point where he was unable to transfer without
help from his wheelchair into the bed and back again because his leg
and hip muscles were weak and stiff. Falls were also a problem.
We
found Vinson by word of mouth (what a blessing). Vinson has
been working with him for almost a year now beginning with whole body
massage and then going into the Active Isolated Stretches
technique.........The AIS technique really has strengthened his leg and hip
muscles as well as regaining flexibility.
As caregiver
my job assisting my husband is not as difficult. I have hope
that with Vinson's help my husband will remain more active and able to
do things for himself. The fear of his becoming bedridden was always in the
back of my mind. That fear has subsided,,, thanks to progress we
can see.
Thanks
Vinson..............

Im a 65+ year old male with
Arthritis and Parkinsons disease. Massage Therapy is key to sustaining the
quality of my life and extending the time that I can live independently.
Without it Id be in continuous pain and my body movement would be
greatly constricted.
Vinson Foster is my Massage Therapist. He is the third Therapist to work on
my body since I commenced Massage Therapy two years ago. The other two
therapists, who practiced elsewhere, were capable of providing temporary
relief and sort of a dependent relationship.
Mr. Foster, on the other hand, has provided me with extended relief and
empowered me to take care of myself. This is a very important for any older
American who resents as I do being patronized so much by
younger Americans.
Mr. Foster has a
winning manner with people and a deep respect for his craft. I feel blessed
that he is helping me to thrive in the Golden years of my life. Im confident that any other
client will feel as I do.
Best Regards,

As a massage therapist, Vinson is tops! He takes time to listen to what my
challenges are before beginning a session, and then gets right to work, assessing
the area, applying his therapy, and retesting surrounding muscles. His
touch is both skillful and compassionate; the sessions thorough and
complete. While his work is specific, he shows a definite sensitivity to my
individual pain threshold and responds appropriately. When our sessions
end, I feel rejuvenated, in every respect. Whether the goal is therapeutic
or pure relaxation, Vinsons work is nothing less than brilliant!

Vinson is by far the
best massage therapist who has worked on me and Ive tried many massage therapists
over the years. I have had chronic neck and jaw problems (TMJ) for many
years and Vinson has produced lasting improvement in these conditions. He
combines medical and other therapeutic techniques with strength and
understanding of what the individual needs. He does not do a one size fits all massage.
Bottom line He is masterful; the best Ive seen.

This was my first professional J massage and I thoroughly enjoyed it. He
found several knots and worked on them. To term a clichι it hurt so good! I was impressed with the
gentleness and care he took in his technique and pressure. Given the
opportunity, I would do it again for a longer period of time.
Great Price for 10 mins!

The Massage Therapists
are a welcome addition to a great convention. We weave because we love it,
but to have this service added makes the pleasure even more relaxing.

I have received a massage
each day of convention and enjoyed all 3 of the therapists. They were
unique in their style and very effective in relieving my discomfort.
I particularly enjoyed the PNF Stretches that Vinson performed on my glutes
and lower back. It relieved a great deal of discomfort and enabled me to
resume my activities with renewed vigor.
