I have been a client of Stress Medic for over 2 years. Regarding the first review that "Stella T." wrote: shame on her/him for giving such bad marks and a bad review for a business he/she has never even patronized - it's not an honest review and it should be removed. With that being said, I cannot say enough about the relief and comfort that I receive from being a client. A little about my background: I have had chronic neck and upper back problems from a desk job and muscle imbalances from improper weight training. I came to Cindy as a referral from a friend in a yoga class. During my first session, she asked me what my concerns were and made me feel at ease. She spent time working over my problem areas and explaining to me what was going on. She not only treated me, but she educated me on what I could do to help alleviate my pain and help correct my issues. She does this every session I have ever had with her, consistently and patiently. It's hard to describe how different I felt after the first session because for me, I did not know how frozen and tense my neck and shoulders were - it was all I knew for so long and thought it was normal. Anyone who has unknowingly dealt with discomfort or pain for so long knows what I mean. For me (and I suspect the rest of its clients), Stress Medic offers a comprehensive solution to pain: hands on, medical and therapeutic bodywork and education to help the treatments rebalance and heal the body. I recommend this place to anyone I meet, as well as friends and family. If you are reading this review and are looking for a place to find relief and solutions to pain in a comforting and highly skilled environment, I promise you that you will not be disappointed. read more

My mother started taking me to see Cindy when I was 12. I was in gymnastics and I had pains in my legs often. She explained why I had these pains and helped me relax by unlocking tight muscles that were straining other areas. I'm all grown up now, and I have continued to visit Cindy. She has continued to open my eyes to different issues I'm having and not just with my muscles. Through medical massage, I have found that even spider veins and cellulite can come back to a central problem. Who knew that a weak lower back and gluts would cause not only those issues, but cause my neck pain, and my imbalanced flexibility. I'm currently working in alliance with Cindy to balance my body. She loosens the locked tissue and takes tension off of my muscles, and I carry on that healing through exercises, stretching, and attention to posture. We discussed these issues just last month, and after that one visit with her, I have already seen great improvement. It's wonderful to know that so many of my issues have a root and are all curable with very little cost to me vs. the benefit. Without Cindy I would have spent years of my life paying for periodic spider vein and cellulite treatments, chiropractors, doctors visits, and who knows what other problems could have occurred with this imbalance. I wasn't broken. It wasn't crippling me, but medical massage has ended and prevented years of problems and helped me understand my body. read more

I've been coming to Cindy Barrett (founder of Stress Medic) for over 10 years. I've had chronic back issues & experienced some injuries in that time and Cindy has always helped rehab injuries or kept my back pain at bay. She's the best medical massage therapist I've ever found! This isn't your "buff & puff" spa massage, but medical, rehabilitative, help your body-function optimally bodywork. Cindy fit me in when I've had the injuries & didn't even make me wait until my next scheduled appt. All of my family members have also come to Cindy at various times. She is a medical professional and a good friend. She will educate, give stretches to maintain/further improvement and/or give functional exercises to help improve quality of life. Can't recommend her any stronger! read more

When you're in pain there's no better place to go than Stress Medic for therapy. I've been a client for 5 plus years and have had wonderful results being treated for fibromyalgia. The treatment is specified for my body and its needs. Cindy is awesome and knows exactly where to start and how to help me. We discuss additional treatment possibilities. I appreciate all the brain storming she does with me. I've seen several other therapist at the Rock Hill Church Rd location and there other newer locations as well. So far I've been very pleased with the different therapist I've seen. You won't get a "foo foo"massage here unless that's what you want. read more

Unlike the previous review, I have actually been to Stress Medic and have been worked on by the therapists who are very caring and knowledgeable about what they do. Cindy, the owner, has a special gift and enthusiasm for therapeutic work and is recommended by many physicians and chiropractors in the area. They list themselves as Christian therapists because they understand that to some, this is important when they are searching for a therapist. I think it's quite unfair to judge a business poorly based on nothing but their affiliation. read more

I lived with a throbbing pain on my left shoulder that would go down to my wrist for almost a year. I finally went to see a Dr who recommended that I see a physical therapist. Well the physical therapist referred me to Stress Medic so I made an appointment. I saw Kiva Crutcher and was amazed to feel 75% better after just 1 visit. I have now seen her around 4-5 times within a few months and all my pain is gone!! I highly recommend this place and Kiva Crutcher if you have any body aches or pain. She has changed my life! read more

I'm one that's not only big in quality care but sanitation as well. The environment there is very calm, relaxed and very clean. The therapists really care about their clients. I've had the pleasure of experiencing a therapeutic massage from therapist Chelsea. Firm in her pressure and always being sure that I was ok. Needless to say the therapy help me in more ways than one. I would recommend Stress Medic to anyone in need. You won't be disappointed. read more

I have been going here for a couple of years. I look forward to my appts. My therapist does not let me leave until my knees are doing what they are suppose to do. Having arthritis in both knees makes it difficult to walk. Cindy makes sure they are moving and bending as they should. I do recommend Stress Medic for anyone who needs help with their muscles. I crawl in and walk tall out. Give them a chance, you won't regret it. read more
