“About five years ago, I was diagnosed with a chronic illness called Pseudotumor Cerebri. Virtually bed-bound, I was unable to walk even a short distance without feeling like bullets were penetrating my brain with every step that I took. After an intensive program with Lori, many of my symptoms – including a weakened immune system, seizures, migraines, a 24/7 headache, muscle/joint pain and weakness, vertigo, and even vision and hearing loss – have markedly improved, or have even vanished completely. Today I am flying on rings & less than 1 year ago I could hardly get out of bed. It’s a miracle! A thank you can not even begin to express how grateful I feel towards Lori and her specialized practice in Myofacial Release Therapy! I am getting my life back!”

“Miracle in Motion! Almost 5 years ago, Emily contracted an illness that, along with a great deal of pain, pretty much put her out of commission and kept her virtually bed-bound for about 3 of those years. She went from being very active and athletic to using a wheelchair, walker, and cane. Thanks to prayer & the healing hands of Lori Zeltwanger at Advanced Release Therapy, Emily is finally coming out on the “other side” and making incredible progress. Welcome back to the world, Emily…you are living proof that miracles do happen, and I am so incredibly proud of you for fighting so hard!”

“My work with Lori has been an enlightening and gratifying journey. Unlike conventional journeys I did not know what my eventual destination would be. When I began working with Lori I knew that I had considerable discomfort and pain, mostly emotional, but did not know the precise source of these disturbing feelings. I had done some similar work previously so I understood that some of my discomfort stemmed from energy trapped in my body and past pain that had not been allowed to heal. Through Lori’s skillful guidance and support I was able to pinpoint more precisely what I was feeling, where these emotions came from, and what I needed to do to heal and reconnect with the here and now so I could move forward with my life.

There are many helpful therapeutic and healing processes. What I liked about working with Lori is how she integrates the physical aspects of pain, discomfort and energy flow with a sound conceptual framework for understanding and dealing with trauma. She is at once assertive and gentle, empirical and intuitive, analytic and empathic, willing to offer her personal observations but steadfast about insisting that the client is in charge of what he or she wants to do in the session as well as with his/her life. For me, Lori created a safe and unconditionally accepting space that allowed me to find the courage to deal with some scary feelings and experiences, and the confidence to believe it was in my best interest to engage in this sometimes painful healing process.”

“Lori is a genius. I have had a severely sore shoulder for about three years. I tried a variety of ways to make it better but nothing worked. The soreness and pain greatly affected my tennis and kept me awake at night. In the course of about five visits, Lori worked everything out, and now I am almost as good as new (come on, I’m 68!). I am now able to play tennis without pain. I would and am recommending Lori to anyone who needs physical therapy. She is an expert! And a quality inspirational & fun person.”

“I have been getting therapy at home every other week for the past 2 years as it is the only thing that helps with my fibromylagia pain. I was on vacation in Sedona & my therapist thought it would be good for me to see Lori. I thought I was ‘splurging’ by coming to see her but she touched me in places I had never been touched and I feel like I had 2 months worth of therapy in that 1 visit. She really got to some places that were holding me down. I am so grateful my therapist recommended this.”

“I had only a few treatments in Lori’s care and I noticed a huge difference in my ability to move. I had problems moving one hip and after treatment I could do things that I had not been able to do for ten years previously. Furthermore, with the techniques she taught me, I was able to further enhance my progress at home on my own. The whole experience was positive for me and I feel a thousand times better than prior to my treatments. It has helped my whole relationship with my family and I feel much more positive.”
