Testimonials: "I am writing this letter to suggest and support Marina Kesler, PT, DPT, MS, OCS, CAPP OB, CAPP Pelvic in furthering her studies in the field of visceral manipulation. Being a veterinarian, acupuncturist & canine rehabilitation therapist myself, I understand the necessity of having evidence based techniques as the foundation of our practice. However, I also acknowledge the significance of discovering new therapies that may lead the path to a deeper understanding of the body and its functions and result in better healing.
My experiences with Marina’s visceral treatments have been profound. She poses the talent, intuition, curiosity and knowledge to pioneer, practice & heal. I have suffered from chronic lower back pain for 7 years and have seen countless doctors (western and eastern) and not a single practitioner has been able to help me aside from Marina.
She takes the time to listen to each individual situation (something that is unfortunately strongly lacking in today’s health care system) and accounts for every detail therein. Her pelvic PT treatments were immensely important to my recovery, but her visceral techniques have given me my life back.
Please support Marina in her endeavor to enhance her therapies and learn more about this healing technique that has helped me so much. I am extremely lucky to have someone as brilliant and talented as Marina Kesler. Sincerely yours, N.B., DVM, CVA, CCRT, CTPEP"
