Client Testimonials

Highly Recommended

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.

Amazing

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.

Master Techniques

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!!!”

knowledgeable

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.

Professional

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.

Remarkable

Gail is truly a remarkable human being. They say it is not what you do, but how you make someone feel last a lifetime.  She is a true embodiment of service. No matter how long she has known you she treats everyone the same. "Like family" More importantly she is tremendously knowledgeable when it comes to restoring the feeling of the body. As a college coach I lean on Gail for her expertise to help get my players ready to perform at optimal level. Time after time when I call she is always available to help my athletes remotely. I suffered from knee pain due to a torn meniscus.  Gail allows me to be functional when coaching my athletes and teaching technique.

PERFORMANCE

The 2022 season was my first season with the New York Jets. One of the biggest adjustments for me was finding a team of good people that could help my body recover from week to week. I am very picky with the people I work with because of my knowledge and understanding of my own body. After asking around someone told me about Gail and how good of an MT she is. I started working with Gail at least once a week throughout the season. She is a huge part of the reason that I was able to play in all 17 regular season games along with never missing a practice. I've never worked with someone that is better at releasing and working on your lower half. She has a great understanding of the body and how it works together with a background in other things like yoga and techniques to improve mobility in certain areas. I can’t say enough good things about Gail and the work she does to help get my body ready for Sunday’s. I would like to add that she is also just a great person to talk to if you have anything going on in your life, serious or not. You can lay there get work and be quiet or you could lay there get work and talk about truly anything. For as long as I am playing football on the east coast I will work with and rely on Gail to help me be at peak performance.

Healing

In the two seasons I spent under the care of Gail, she was the most thorough and precise therapist I had ever been worked on by. In my experience her approach to getting to the root cause of things is unique in nature and reflects her personal character of being kind, loving and selfless as she gives of herself totally in order to heal others so they can perform at their very best. Gail is the professional standard in which we should all aspire to reach. Gail is absolutely wonderful at her style of message therapy. She finds even the smallest problem areas that can cause injury if not taken care of an eliminates them. Every time she works on me I feel refreshed, limber and balanced.

Matt Forte

incredible

I’ve been going to Gail for the past 15 years. I’m a professional basketball player and when I’m in the off-season she’s the only person I’ll see for a massage. She’s incredible, both as a masseuse and a person. I can’t recommend her enough!

John Petrucelli 

Professional Basketball Player in Germani Brescia (Guard)

Gail Bannister held a vital role in my readiness each Sunday by keeping me pliable with her expertise and techniques. I can’t say enough good things about her work ethic and character, which helped allowed me to stay on the playing field as long as I did during my time in New York. She was an important cog in my recovery after every physically taxing game. Can’t thank her enough.
