I've been working with Gail for about 2 1/2 years now since before I got drafted in 2018 and she's been absolutely amazing. Whenever I have a nagging muscle or something doesn't feel right I can count on her to get me back on point. She uses a lot of different techniques depending on what you need specifically which is one of my favorite things like being exposed to Thai massage and Graston for example. I'd recommend her to anybody I know.

My time in NYC was amazing, but my time on the field was fruitful because of Gail. Her technique, spirit, and energy keep my body moving optimally which produce great results on the field. You won't be disappointed by spending time with her.

Arizona Cardinals | New York Jets
Gail is incredible at what she does. She seems like a master when it comes to the body and the techniques that she uses. I feel like I can conquer the world after each session with her. She's great for recovery, when you have a day or two to recover, as well as getting the body primed for same day activity. My body felt right every week during the 2019 NFL season thanks to Gail. I love you so much and thank you for being so awesome!!!
Ty Montgomery
New York Jets
Working with Gail, helped my body in ways I never thought imaginable. She has a very keen understanding of the body, to know how to find the root causes of problems and help get the body back to proper balance. She's helped me release muscles and knots in muscles that in turn helped me return to the field without the risk of tearing or straining those muscles.

How It Works
Stay in the Game with the Bannister Method
What is Fascial Stretch Therapy?
Fascial Stretch Therapy (or FST), a type of stretching that targets not only the muscles, but the fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds muscles, bones, and joints. FST also targets the entire joint and joint capsule, using traction to remove restrictions from movement and to stimulate lubrication.
A Fascial Stretch Therapist will evaluate their client, looking for imbalances, as well as the source of those imbalances. Using techniques of slow undulating movement, traction, and modified PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation), synchronized with the breath, the therapist will stretch the entire body to lengthen muscle, increase range of motion, and improve flexibility.
What is Thai Bodywork?
Thai bodywork is traditionally performed on a large comfortable floor mat that gives the receiver both comfort and full-body support. Working on the floor allows the therapist to move freely around and above the client, making for effective use of the therapist's bodyweight and mechanics.
The Thai-Yoga Therapist uses their hands, fingers, palms, arms, knees, and feet, along with the receiver's body weight and resistance to provide a deeply moving experience. Flowing rhythmic compressions are blended with stretching positions allowing the body to relax and embrace the healing.
