"Benessere gave me my life back! I am free of pain after over 12 years of difficulty, depression, and the challenge of functioning "normal" while living with chronic pain. I gave up on traditional medical treatments and holistic options. Benessere is so different you have to experience their services to understand. Benessere brought not only my body in balance, but my life. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about what a miracle it is to be pain free. "

"After a car accident a person has more then enough to be concerned about, especially their health. But after my car accident all my health concerns were put to rest when I walked through the doors of Benessere Body In Balance. From the moment I met Dr. Mancini, my chiropractor, and David Lunsford, my neuromuscular massage therapist, I knew they would always have my best interest in mind, a personal sense of security that is rare these days. I saw the dedication in their eyes to cure my daily headaches, I heard the compassion in their voice when they took the time to answer all my questions and explain the treatment they fashioned just for me, and I felt hope when the severity of my headaches lessen after each appointment. My treatment was also well rounded from instituting a particular bed pillow that helped my neck pain to teaching me exercises that I could do at home to maximize the benefit of an appointment and to keep me on the road to recovery after my time with Benessere.  My car accident was one of the worst events in my life, but going to Benessere proved to be one of the best decisions I ever made, for my body and mind."

"I have been to doctor after doctor and I didn’t feel any better and they told me it was in my head.  Julia helped me and my symptoms are gone and I feel great."

"I had hand surgery in 2001 and was sent to many hand therapists. They would have me drive across town just to squeeze a ball or hook me up to a tens unit (which I had at home) for a half hour and send me home. I was in so much pain and it would not go away. I was so sick of being told it was all in my head. Then I met Kay and she took my hand and massaged the incision, broke up the scar tissue that was building up and I was able to use my hand again. She made such a difference in my life. Then in July of 2007 I was rear ended and the first person I called was Kay. I had to have a spinal fusion in March of 2008 and if it weren't for Kay, David Lunsford and Dr. David Mancini I kow in my heart that I would not be walking today, I was in a body brace for 5 months and could not even straighten my right leg. I continue to see Kay and Dr. Mancini and HIGHLY recommend them. 

Also Nancy, that wonderful office manager is the best. She treats you like you are the only client they deal with.

Benessere's number one fan."

"I was stiff and sore and I knew I needed to get my body moving, but exercise just seemed to make things worse. I was stuck and the pain was really starting to impact my life. I knew I needed to do something, but I wasn't sure what. That's why I chose Benessere.

They got my body in balance using a combined treatment approach. The staff worked together and determined what treatments would be best for me and when. With that approach I know I progressed much faster.

I just finished my first Pilates class, pain free. It feels great to be able to move again!"

"Every movement was painful. I could barely lift my foot high enough to clear a curb. My aching body consumed my life. I needed help. When I dragged myself to an MD, he sympathized with my plight, diagnosed me as having fibromyalgia and recommended a course of steroids. Reluctant to embark on such extreme chemical treatment, I expressed my concern to a good friend. "Oh, she said, Go to Kay. She is a real healer." I will be forever grateful for that advice.

On my first visit to Kay Troan she carefully evaluated how I stood, observing my tilted pelvis, my uneven shoulders and my extreme muscle tension. She had me lie down on the table and she got to work. In six months of weekly sessions, Kay's strong hands and sensitive touch literally reworked my body from head to toe. Soon I was standing straight, pain free and feeling terrific.

In the years since, I have dutifully practiced the stretching exercises Kay suggested and I visit every month or six weeks for "tune-ups." Sprained ankles from running, wrenched backs from portaging canoes, even aching sinuses have responded to her touch. Every session with Kay energizes. At seventy some, I regularly run, hike, canoe and kayak in this country and abroad. And, in these years, I have grown half and inch-standing tall because of Kay."
