Working with Dr Shannon has been one of the best decisions I have made for my well being. Her techniques and mindset have helped me physically and mentally throughout my program. I am a 46 year old man, and I am a carpenter and played ice hockey my whole life including playing some professional hockey. All the years of physical abuse have finally caught up to me and was diagnosed with spondylitis in my lower back. Pain was always there at some level for years. Chronic pain eventually affects you mental well being as well as physical and I wanted to try anything before surgery or medications. I met with Dr Shannon and we got right into a program. The program was focused and efficient, and I felt benefits immediately. Dr Shannon custom made a program for me to do at home, and the one on one visits were great to have her adjusting my techniques as well as having a coaches motivation during the exercises. Her program had great balance without demanding hours of my day. Working with Dr Shannon taught me that I must be pro active with my back pain and this has transferred over into all areas of my life including work ethic and my diet. I am organically working toward a healthy life and realizing I could heal my back pain without surgery. I am motivated and focused to stay healthy moving into my 50s which is right around the corner. I would strongly encourage anyone to visit with Dr. Shannon and see what she has to offer your health. Also all of you stubborn tradesmen living and working in pain everyday, the workday is a lot more enjoyable when you are physically fit and not in pain, it could be one of the best decisions you will ever make. Many thanks to Dr Shannon for being the catalyst for my new healthy life.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Shannon. I have had chronic back pain since high school and working with her has significantly improved my pain, strength, and quality of life. I am now able to do things I never thought were possible and challenge the beliefs that I didn’t even know were holding me back.

I've been working with Dr. Shannon for about 6 months now. Before I met her, I was having issues with my neck, shoulders, hips, and feet. I also had a mental block when it came to exercising. I knew I needed to exercise, but just kept coming up with excuses. I am now doing strength training exercises 3 days a week and have a whole new mindset in general. I can actually jump, use a kettlebell, and do exercises that I've never tried before! I am so grateful to her for not only helping me with my physical activity, but improving my mental clarity as well. Thank you, Dr. Shannon!

Working with Dr. Shannon has been one of the best decisions of my life. It’s been almost 6 months and all of the chronic pain I had for years has either disappeared or decreased significantly. More importantly - I’ve learned the tools to navigating my flare ups. I know when my back starts to really hurt, that my body is asking me to do something differently, and Shannon has helped me learn so many different ways to explore what that difference might be. She is incredibly helpful and motivating, a constant source of positive reinforcement, and your biggest cheerleader. I appreciate the constant experimenting to figure out what works and doesn’t work for me. Workouts in person are full of wonderful conversation and connection so you really feel like you’re connecting with an actual person who cares about you and your progress and health - which isn’t something I can say for 99% of my experiences in any medical setting. If you’re considering working with her, take the leap!!

Dr. Shannon has completely changed my mindset on how to manage chronic pain. I was very active in high school, went to the gym, ran, etc. Then around 19 years old I started having a lot of unexplained joint pain and other symptoms (fairly certain I have hyper mobile EDS, but that’s another story). Now after almost a decade later of failed injections, medications, and specialists, I finally understand that physical therapy is the best medicine. Only thing is, you have to know how to do specific movements in the right “dose”, as Shannon always says. I have tried to join gyms and go to classes, only to come home with ice packs all over my body while holding back tears laying in bed. It’s never been productive and honestly always made me want to try to be more active even less. Also, the weekly 30 minute video call with her is what has kept me motivated, even on days when my mental health is in the toilet and I just don’t want to do the workout. The “coach” aspect is what has kept me going for 10 weeks now. Do yourself a favor and book a consult with her!!

UPDATED REVIEW!!! I have been working with Dr Shannon for over a year now. I can sum up my experience with one sentence...Dr. Shannon saved my life. That might seem a little extreme but it is the truth. Prior to working with her I had seen multiple physicians, chiropractors, a physical therapist, a chronic pain specialist, and had spinal fusion surgery due to chronic neck pain I have been suffering from for over 2 years. I was at my wits end. I came to Dr. Shannon feeling hopeless, sleep deprived, fatigued, and having very little quality of life. I couldn't lift a laundry detergent bottle, provide daily care for my son, or even wash my hair due to the chronic neck pain. When I first spoke with Dr. Shannon I felt a glimpse of hope because of her kind demeanor and caring personality. From the beginning I felt like a friend to her rather than just another patient. She listened to my entire story and was the first medical professional that truly cared. She created an individualized plan that suited my unique lifestyle. In one year she has helped me strength my body and improve my confidence to be able to live the life I aspire to have. I am now able to take care of my son, do activities of daily living for myself, and have increased my strength to do more than I thought I would ever be able to. So like I said before, she saved my life and increased the quality of it. If you're looking for something different than the common health care approach, keep your mind open and maybe Dr. Shannon can save your life too!

Dr Shannon is how ALL medical practitioners should be. I started my original journey over 2 years ago when I saw Dr Shannon in person and she was immediately warm and wanting to help. I’ve had issues with my back since my 20’s (so for over 20 years I’ve had bad flare ups come and go but fairly consistent pain that I just had to live with) and Dr Shannon is the very first practitioner (I’ve seen a lot over the years) who didn’t want to band aid a fix but find a solution to improve and strengthen me for the long term. I took a year off before seeing Dr Shannon again recently which I now do virtually and I’m about 8 weeks into a tailor made strengthening program and I feel the best I have been for years and improving each week. Energy, flexibility, strength and sleep patterns all have improved. I highly recommend Dr Shannon, she is an incredible and inspiring coach and a delightful person to work with.

I’ve had issues with mobility, poor range of motion and injuries most of my adult life from athletics and my manufacturing job. Not only is Dr. Connolly a stand-up individual, she’s very knowledgeable and down to Earth. She’s helped me understand my body and how to approach with ways to remedy my faults and to turn them into strengths. I highly recommend working with her. You become more than a patient, you become a student.

We cannot say enough positive things about our experience with Shannon ! Watching her work with my daughter both on and off the feild we saw huge improvement in all areas of the game. Most importantly we saw a huge shift in her confidence . So much so even her High School coach commented that she she’s a marked change in her confidence and level of play ! I highly recommend Shannon she is the real deal !!!
