"Unparalleled one-on-one care -- Through the years, I've been a patient of medical professionals of all disciplines, and I can honestly say that I've never received one-on-one care as detailed as I've received from Mya with Self Solace Physical Therapy. She looks at me holistically, and even more importantly, as a human being, not just a medical chart. She takes into consideration so many things that wouldn't even seem to be directly related to physical therapy -- she also considers psychological, emotional, and other medical factors and their impact upon my physical condition. This attention to detail has led to great improvements in my health as a result of her care."

"Finally, a therapist that looks at the whole body! -- Great one on one sessions! She takes time and listens to your goals to help get you back functioning. Unlike most therapists, she thinks out of the box and has given me different techniques as well as a newfound hope that I will be pain free and back to athletics. I am impressed that she is current on the latest techniques and not stuck in a rut and only looking at one body part at a time. I wish I had found SSPT years ago!"

"It was very beneficial for me, in alleviating symptoms that I have been difficult to find relief from with other more traditional exercises/stretching approaches and hands-on treatment. I would definitely come back if necessary in the future."

"In my 10+ years of coming to [Mya] for MFR therapy, there have been many 'success stories'. But the one that most deserves recognition is the fact that when I first came to you I could barely raise my arms, my legs were so stiff that if I sat for more than a few minutes I could barely walk. I really feared spending the rest of my life in a wheelchair, and for someone who has always loved to travel and been somewhat athletic (regular walks, tennis, bike riding) that was a horrible thought. However, within several months of MFR therapy I was my 'old self'. My colleagues at work who had seen me suffer for months (I had been in a car accident 1-1/2 years previous) trying various types of physical therapy, shots in my legs, etc that did not help, could not believe what they were seeing! I was continually asked how I had come to recover--especially so quickly. I thank God that a friend of mine had been at one of John Barnes' MFR seminars, been so impressed with John and your talents in MFR that he suggest I give you a try. By coming to you periodically and using the stretching techniques you have taught me, I am able to still (in my 70s) do the things I love and hope to do so for many years to come."

"Don't Give Up! Bring your 'diagnosis', chronic labels and hopelessness to Self Solace (JFB-MFR) and leave them there. I came to Mya with issues concerning my nervous system. I had been told many times there was no 'cure' and the traditional treatments didn't work for me (drugs and Botox). After the drugs failed, I tried acupuncture and meditation--both wonderful modalities--but it turns out I didn't need to be still and quiet I needed to MOVE! My nervous system is healing and strong, but in the last year I've also lowered my blood pressure, lost 18 pounds, I run again, I'm happy and alive. If you are on this website you are where you need to be to start your journey, WHATEVER IT IS. Mya will envelop you in her expertise, warmth, and wisdom. She will teach and support you as you proceed on your way to healing. You've made the first step--take a breath and jump into the lovely pool that is Self Solace JFB-MFR--you will never regret it."

"I would like to thank you for helping me get through the most painful and worst time in my life. I am truly thankful to God that I found you. You are a wonderful physical therapist and a very warm caring person. I will forever be in your debt."

"Mya Swan, with her MFR training with John F. Barnes, has changed my life. After many years of chronic pain and traditional treatment, or shoulder shrugging from other disciplines, Mya has done something wonderful for me; not only has she treated and given me relief but listens and respects me as she continues to help reveal ways for me to help myself to a more enjoyable life. I will forever be grateful to the friend who recommended Mya and have shared my experience with friends and family."

"Mya worked with me to figure out my goals/outcomes, determined what was going on, why it was going on, as well as setting a path to remedy the problem. Mya put me through a series of exercises and stretches to help me increase my flexibility, stretch muscles that were not functioning properly, and showed me how to build up my trunk in order to support my back. The outcome of the exercises and stretches were felt almost immediately. Within two weeks...I had much less pain, much more sleep, and felt pretty good. 8 weeks later...zero pain, improved flexibility, I run 2 miles per day every day, and I feel terrific! I have not felt this way in a very long time.... Mya was very informative and helpful, clearly very good at what she does, kept the therapy fun, has a terrific style, and was very clear with me on how I can get better. I am very impressed with my results and attribute much of my success to her."

"My ankle is so much stronger and I learned so much from our time together."

"Our little girl arrived on Wednesday! She was 10lb 7oz and I was able to deliver her with no medication, no pain while pushing and no tearing! I attribute that to all of the work we did together and I can’t thank you enough! It was the birth experience I had dreamed of and a big part of it was thanks to you. I am looking forward to our appointment with baby."

"Honestly, Mya, the session I had with you was probably one of the most profound hours of my life. If you remember, I like to run, but have to deal with urinary leaking/incontinence while I run, ever since the birth of my 3rd child. After my session with you, I had NO leaking for almost 2 months. It did begin to mildly return, and I did seek MFR treatment from a practitioner in a nearby city, but immediately after my session with her (which hurt, nothing you did was 'painful,' even if it was intense), my incontinence while running returned full throttle, worse than ever. That's a bummer. I really wish that I lived closer to you. I would become your #1 client. Of COURSE you can put my testimonial on your website! We women need to be more vocal about things like urinary incontinence and pain during intercourse, etc., so that the light shines on these issues and we figure them out. We tend to hide those sorts of things and suffer alone, sometimes unnecessarily. I hope my testimonial does indeed bring more women in need your way."

"Mya Swan is a gifted and talented Myofascial Release and physical therapist. Always the consummate professional--she is both clinician and artist. She is present and focused when treating you and is intensely committed to supporting you in your journey to good health. There is a gentleness to her spirit and touch which is partnered with training, education, and hands on experience, to provide an effective integrated whole body treatment experience. From the first moment her hands touched me, I knew I had found a practitioner who could help."

"I recently attended a restorative yoga class at Self Solace. Melissa’s instruction and flow were perfect and very supportive but what made it even better was the addition of the singing bowls that were played throughout the class. I found myself able to be more present with my body and relax more fully into each pose because of the sound and vibrations of the bowls. I can’t wait to go back!”
