"I went to Danielle due to sharp and continuous pain in my neck and shoulders. I was unable to lift more than a few pounds and was having trouble doing most of the exercises in my regular excercise class. In addition to those recent problems, I mentioned to her that I had experienced carpal tunnel and/or a pinched nerve for several years, so I was unable to sleep or lean on either side for more than a few minutes - this despite being seen by a doctor and undergoing the prescribed three month physical therapy regime a few years ago. After one session with Danielle, the neck and shoulder pain was greatly reduced. After two more sessions all of the neck and shoulder pain was gone, and the other symptoms were diminished to the point that I have been able to sleep on either side for up to 30 minutes! I have continued to improve for the last three weeks and I am back to normal in my exercise class."

“Following a summer of triathlon training and years of physical activity without enough stretching, my neck, shoulders, and back had gotten so tight that I couldn’t turn my head to the left enough to see over my shoulder. I had persistent pain in my neck and shoulder blades when cycling and swimming, and when on the computer. In just the first massage session, Danielle was able to improve my mobility and decrease the pain. With additional work, Danielle was able to bring back a range of motion I haven’t had in years! I look forward to continued work with her to keep things well tuned. Thanks Danielle!” Elizabeth M. Ransom, P.G.
"I first visited Danielle over a year ago for massage therapy sessions, to relieve stress in my shoulders and back, which were brought on by stressful line cook work. I then realized that she could help with my illiotibial band, a tendon that was causing pain around my right hip, and had been a problem for over 3 years. She came up with a specialized stretching/exercise plan for me to follow at home, and during our visits she worked on relieving tension in the fascia around the affected area. I then returned to Danielle for treatment of lower back pain from a pinched nerve, mild scoliosis, right shoulder pain and a further look at my IT band. She used craniosacral therapy and after six sessions we were on the right track. She connected and released lines of tension in my body and after two more visits I felt no more pain in any of my body! Danielle helped balance my body and relieve me from pain that was affecting my sleep and work. Her unique, gentle techniques and honest interest in the well being of her clients goes unmatched. After seeing several doctors, I can truly say she was the most helpful and the best person I could have seen for my medical issues. I recommend her for anyone seeking a patient, personable, dedicated healer who won't give up on you! Thanks a million Danielle!" Britni White Portsmouth, NH
An email in regards to treatment for a neck and shoulder injury that had left Kevin unable to turn his head or reach forward without sharp pain: "Hi Danielle,
First of all, thank you very much for treating me yesterday. I don't have any hestitation to turn my head and reach out with my hands after the first treatment. It was amazing. I definitely will come back and refer others if they are seeking a good therapist." Kevin Portsmouth, NH
"I called Danielle in an "emergency" situation. I had strained my neck the week before, and began to feel throbbing pain in the back of my head, neck, and even into my jaw. The pain got worse over the next couple days, and felt like the worst headache I had ever had. My doctor told me that massage might help to dissipate the tension in my neck and relieve the headache. The next day, Danielle worked on me with massage and craniosacral therapy and was able to relax the tension and muscle knots in my neck and upper back. Now my headache is completely gone! The day after my massage the pain had subsided about 50% and felt more like a regular headache. The following day it was very light until about 2pm when it completely went away and hasn't been back since. Thank you very much for helping me Danielle, I really appreciate it."

"I have been seeing Danielle for an unusual muscle condition on my back and shoulder blades. Last fall I was rear-ended while driving on the highway, and although I recovered fairly fast, I had lost a good deal of my muscle mass in my back. I shoot archery competitively, and found myself unable to draw back my bow properly. In my efforts to rebuild my muscle mass, I overdid things, and found my scapula muscles were so built up that they were pinching nerves, causing random but persistent itching sensations in the shoulder blades.
Danielle has a background in sports, and was able to work with me to release the pinching of the nerves. Over several sessions of massage, combined with stretching and exercise assignments, I can now say I am trouble-free and once-again competitive in my sport. I don’t believe just any Massage Therapist would have gotten me back in tune with my body so quickly, nor even understood how important it was for me to make as much improvement as possible in a short amount of time. Danielle possesses a keen awareness of what my body needed at every stage of recovery."

"Nearly two years ago, I started massage therapy with Danielle Ouimette to treat chronic neck and shoulder pain. The deep tissue massage and home exercises that Danielle taught me have virtually eliminated my pain. I have been very pleased with the results and highly recommend Danielle as a massage therapist." N. Brown
"I have been seeing Danielle Ouimette for over a year and my results have been amazing. I build homes for a living and the demands placed on my body and mind is overwhelming at times. I would be very sore at the end of a workday and wake up the next morning feeling even worse. My mother encouraged me to see Danielle, raving about the benefits of massage. I was a bit skeptical at first, wondering if massage would really help improve my physical conditioning and relax my mind. After a couple of sessions I was feeling more relaxed and the aches and pains were subsiding. I was still feeling sore upon waking in the morning, so she asked me a series of questions about my daily routine and diet to try to pinpoint the source of my soreness. Danielle suggested increasing my daily water intake, and found that I wasn’t stretching, which compounded my problems.
Danielle spent her free time to develop a stretching routine that was quick and effective and the results are amazing. Just ten minutes of stretching in the morning is all I need to warm up my body and give me time to plan my day. Taking the time for massage was the best thing I’ve done for my career and my health. Danielle’s professionalism and expertise is exceptional and I would definitely recommend her talents to anyone looking to better their health and lives."

"I have been to Danielle Ouimette numerous times since breaking a wrist and several ribs to help with my recovery. She is very knowledgeable in massage therapy and has increased the mobility of my wrist greatly. I always leave her office feeling relaxed and in less pain than when I arrived. I have and will continue to refer friends, family, or anyone I run into that is in need of a massage to her."
