It's amazing to think that stubborn pain that I had been enduring for years could go away so quickly. After years of a mild but annoying lower back ache, and 2 years of chiropractic treatment, Laura was able to cure me 100%, not just a reduction of pain but a complete cure. I recommend that anyone who has chronic back pain see Laura. She can really help you. She uses the Sarno method of understanding muscle tightness and focuses your mind on the possibility of psychology being the root of many stubborn muscle aches. Sometimes it can be hard to believe that pain can be caused by psychological causes but after reading Sarno's book, I have come to believe in how logical this is and how illogical it is to constantly seek treatment that is just a placebo or a maintenance of the pain without solving the root of the pain. I have also enjoyed Laura's massages. I've been enjoying massage most of my life and really find it a great way to relax and kind of sink deeper into my body. Laura is really great and has the touch that transforms. I think a practitioner needs to have that healer's touch to really make massage transcendent. Lastly, Laura has the ability to converse with me and seems to know just what to say about health and spirituality. She has insight and intelligence and an ability to communicate that has really helped me grow. She has been very generous loaning me material like books and handouts on related subjects that have helped shape my thinking about a number of related topics. When you think about life and why we store stress and how we can avoid even allowing stress to get a foot hold, it's important to feel like you have an ally who can help guide you. Laura knows her stuff on many levels and can meet you where you are to help lead you back to health.

I suffered with lower back pain for many years and visits to a chiropractor and sessions with a physical therapist resulted in only temporary relief… sometimes a few days, sometimes only a few hours. Out of desperation and unable to get through a day without thinking I must need surgery, I booked a session with Better Back Massage Therapy in Norwalk. I was encouraged when Laura told me that I do not have to live with back pain, and endless suffering will not be a part of my life. With all my visits to chiropractors and sessions with a physical therapist, no doctors told me there is a cure for my back pain just treatment. Laura, however, with her many years of helping people like me, said that I can live without lower back pain. After a few sessions, along with Laura’s positive attitude and professionalism, my lower back pain was well on its way to being a thing of the past. That was about twenty years ago, and today I am still living virtually pain free. Thanks to Laura I am back at the gym and enjoying activities I had to give up well before my first visit to Better Back Massage Therapy. Thanks, Laura, you are a life saver.

My sessions with Laura Skutch were life changing. I finally came to understand that stress is the source of the lower back pain that I’d been dealing with for at least 4 years. Laura expertly and compassionately guided me through the principles of Dr. John Sarno’s book, The MindBody Prescription, and helped me to understand how to apply them through examination of my own personal story. Her unique combination of skilled massage, and thoughtful guidance in exploring my own stress triggers, allowed me in only a few short weeks, to reclaim the active lifestyle I thought I’d lost. She really has changed my life!

Laura Skutch helped heal my chronic back pain and helped me learn to
deal with the underlying anxiety that was causing the pain.

For years my upper back, shoulder blades, and neck were full of
painful muscle knots. My body always felt tense. Sometimes the pain
was so bad it kept me from sleeping and from relaxing and enjoying
life. I went to several doctors and tried acupuncture, yoga,
chiropractic, massage therapy, and Chinese herbs. Nothing was a
permanent solution. I knew my back pain was caused by stress, but I
didn't know how to stop my stress from causing the pain.

Then I found Laura Skutch. I went to her because she combined massage
therapy with stress-reduction, which sounded like exactly what I
needed. It was. My back pain is significantly reduced thanks to
Laura. In a few short weeks, I've learned how to stop the pain right
when it begins. Laura is compassionate, knowledgeable, and fun to work
with.

Laura is an excellent massage therapist, and thanks to her guidance,
I now understand how to manage my stress. My back feels better and I
feel calmer and happier in general. I give Laura my highest
recommendation. If you suffer from back and/or neck pain, you should
make an appointment today. Carolyn F.

I'd suffered for over five years with what I'd been told were symptoms
of a ruptured disc in my neck. I'd been treated by a chiropractor
weekly for over five years, and I haven't had one appointment since I
began working with Laura. Working with Laura has changed my life.
I've taken control of my physical and emotional wellness. After my
second appointment with Laura Skutch, my pain decreased 80%. With
continued work, I now live 95% pain free, and am still moving forward.
I would encourage anyone suffering from chronic pain issues to
explore massage therapy with Laura to learn how to do more than manage
their pain. They can be free of it!

I lived with arm and elbow pain for 10 years, convinced it was pointless to expect any better. Laura only asked that I be open to a new possibility. Hey, why not? She used a mind-body method that has been proven so effective, it makes surgeons and chiropractors a little nervous. You don’t needs tons of sessions, nor do you need to pay $1000s to get cut open. It includes great massages, some reading, some re-thinking your approach to your body.

If you’re committed to the process and do the “mind work,” I can almost guarantee that your pain will go away. Mine has. Isn’t it nice to know that our bodies are much stronger than we think? Laura has a formidable grasp of this approach. I highly recommend her as a practitioner and partner in your health.
