get real results with

the bannister method.

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 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.

Kelvin Beachum
Arizona Cardinals (2020–present) | New York Jets (2017–2019) 

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 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
NFL 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.

Demario Davis
New Orleans Saints (2018–present) | New York Jets (2017) | Cleveland Browns (2016) | New York Jets (2012–2015) 

Gail is the best! Certified in many different categories and very knowledgeable on the body. She always gets me right whenever I'm in need and has my body feeling great!

Tobias Harris
NBA Detroit Pistons

I was blessed to win a Super Bowl, play 10 NFL seasons all of which without missing any games during that tenure. Gail Bannister was a GIANT part of my personal success. The methodology and skill she has developed over her journey allowed me to bring my best onto the field week in and week out.

Steve Weatherford
NFL NY Giants

Gail Bannister-Munn is everything I look for in a professional. She is engaging, knowledgeable and current with the latest methods and techniques. She provides all athletes the best opportunity to perform at the highest level. Gail has been an integral part of my success as an athlete and as a business owner because I recommended her to all of my players to gain an advantage over the competition. Gail is the best of the best!

I've been a professional wrestler for 14 years. My body gets beat up on a weekly basis. I've searched for years for somebody who could make me feel better. I'm so glad I met Gail. She is extremely friendly and uses techniques that I have never experienced before. I would highly recommend Gail for any serious athlete.
