About Body Remedy

Debbie's Story and the
Start of Body Remedy

Debbie established Body Remedy to help others live pain free in the same way she herself was able to overcome chronic back pain. 

A childhood accident nearly left her crippled. An auto accident later in life further complicated her injuries leaving her with herniated disks and chronic back pain for years, leaving her barely able to walk without assistance. 

She considered surgery and was referred to Dr. Bart Green at the University of Miami. Dr. Green suggested she get neuromuscular massage therapy before considering surgery. After three months of extensive therapy with David Shea, an expert in his field, Debbie was pain free and avoided surgery all together.

Debbie left her banking career and committed to obtaining her massage license and went on to receive instruction and mentorship under David Shea’s wing, of which she is forever grateful. She went on to found her clinic in 1999 and has helped thousands of people become pain-free. 

Debbie has passed on the gift of healing to her wonderful team of therapists who receive extensive training and under her guidance provide an outstanding level of care. She is sought after by colligate and professional athletes from The Miami Heat, University of Miami Athletic Department, players from the NFL and MBL and last but not least the scores of weekend warriors that rounds up the roster. It is her passion and determination to see all her patients well that makes her massage clinic special.

Our Corrective Massage Therapy Technique

Corrective Massage Therapy is a technique developed by Debbie over many years of practice. Her technique combines advanced modalities which significantly reduces chronic stress, gives greater physical support and flexibility ultimately influencing emotions and energy levels. As the muscle groups and body structure becomes more organized, chronic strain patterns are alleviated and pain stress decreases. 

Furthermore, it can speed injury recovery by reducing pain, stiffness and muscle tension. Improving movement and circulation around joints and attending to both the injury and secondary pain that may develop favoring the injury.

For optimum levels of results, our therapeutic approach is performed over a series of 6-10 sessions. This process allows the therapists to affect the clients structure in a methodical manner. It consists of loosening superficial fascia before working deeper areas and helping clients find ways in benefiting from freer movements in daily activities.

People seek this type of therapy as a way to reduce pain, and chronic muscle tension; generally struggling from physical and emotional traumas. This method is used on many professional athletes to break up scar tissue, rehabilitate injuries and increase range of motion to improve performance and avoid future injuries.

Additionally, this therapy helps to decrease repetitive stress injuries which creates greater physical support and flexibility and ultimately influences energy levels.

Company Culture

Our goal is to provide an excellent experience to our patients from the time they book their first appointment, to the time they leave our office. We are obsessed with making certain the client experience is superb. The patient-therapist relationship is important and time is taken during the first appointment to fully understand the client’s concerns. The treatments, the corrective therapy, and expectation of the patients recovery goals has to be excellent to meet and exceed our clients and patient’s expectations.

The story is personal. Twenty years ago, I recovered from a serious back injury and avoided surgery by seeing a neuromuscular therapist. After a two-times-a-week regiment for three months, and daily stretching exercises I was pain free. I wanted to help others with pain relief and started massaging friends and family. I did this as a hobby. Today our clinic sees over a 100 patients a week and relies on a wonderful team of dedicated therapists

Well, I’ll start by saying who we are not for… If you seek the spa experience, we are not for you. No memberships here. Our massage therapies are clinical in nature, excellent for pro and amateur athletes, pre and post rehab for muscle fatigue or injury recovery, or individuals working through post surgery recovery and people looking to release chronic muscle tension. We have a unique presence in the community. We are a personalized therapeutic and massage clinic focused on individual recovery and corrective therapy.

Our standards and expectations in patient care remains the core of our business model. We invest in our human resources and take pride to see our therapists grow personally and professionally. Our team is experienced and highly trained in the application of our unique techniques and modalities that have proven highly effective in our treatments. So, it is the patient care experience that drives us to excellence.

The patient/therapist experience is a critical first step in our intake process. We take time to listen and understand their concerns and together decide on the best course of treatment. You can expect personalized care and treatment, expert therapists, and find our team to be knowledgable, professional, friendly and caring.
