Since this was the first acupuncture session I've had, it pleases me to say I have no reason to go…read moreto any other practitioner. I really like the services here. I was skeptical. How could becoming a living voodoo doll cure me of my ailments? After much urging from a friend to try acupuncture (since I have a condition that responds poorly to conventional treatments), I decided one time can't hurt. At her referral, I saw David Schiman. He is a very easy going person who will put all your fears at ease and answer your questions to the best of his abilities. After a brief intake during your first time there, including an extensive medical history check and some questions about what you're looking to improve, you'll be brought into the treatment room where the fun starts. Like I said, I was skeptical. What happened next completely changed my mind. Since my shoulders were very tight that day, I ended up getting two needles in the trapezius area of my shoulders. At first they spasmed badly and actually scared me for a moment, but then they relaxed. Just totally relaxed! I'm not sure how this actually worked, if a nerve was hit and that relaxed them, but it was like a miracle. I won't lie; some of the needles will hurt. Some will bleed. Some will fall out or irritate your skin. Just be prepared for it. Once all the needles are in it is somehow very calming. I like that it's forced meditation in a way - you can't move because of the needles, so you have to calm your mind in other ways than physically. After a session I always leave completely relaxed, as if I'd slept a whole night's sleep in under an hour. This practice is very clean, very well lit, and despite being a place where you get stuck full of needles it is never scary. The location itself is right on Main Street in Manayunk, and even though it's on the third floor of an office building it's still very easy to find. If you ever were interested in acupuncture but unsure if it's for you, I would definitely recommend you see David. I'm a believer now, and feel like this location is a great place to start for any beginner.

When I lived in the area, I'd come here several times a month for acupuncture. I really loved the…read moresliding scale and the fact that you can book your appointments online. The only downside is that you never know who you'll be in the acupuncture room with. It's an open room with maybe 6-8(? I forget, it's been a while) acupuncture chairs---hence the "community" part. Most times the people you're in the room with are quiet and the experience is relaxing, and other times you could get someone who is coughing or clearing their throat the whole time or just generally noisy, which could hinder the relaxation portion of your experience. All in all, 85% of the time you get a good group.

She showed me around the office and I was amazed at everything it had to offer: Acupuncture, chiropractic care, personal training, yoga, nutrition counseling and lots more. Angela walked me through everything I needed to know about the detox and was always available to answer questions I had along the way. After the detox I felt lighter, healthier and more relaxed, just as she said I would. I highly recommend this center for anyone looking to improve their health.

Quest Chiropractic was recommended by a trusted friend who has lived in Philadelphia for decades,…read moreand I was glad I took his advice. Dr. Tremblay is knowledgeable, helpful, and a great listener, and he has the physical strength to work effectively with larger or tighter body types. In my case, that strength makes a real difference and helps me feel genuinely unlocked after an adjustment. Every time I leave, I feel noticeably better and more mobile in my neck, mid-back, and upper back. The office is clean, tranquil, and easy to book through its online scheduling system. The massage machine is absolutely incredible, providing a deep, therapeutic treatment that loosens the body and sets you up perfectly for the adjustment. As a lifelong athlete and current keyboard warrior, I have found this work enormously helpful for managing accumulated tension. Regular visits have been outside my budget lately, but I plan to return soon and highly recommend Quest.

I feel compelled to write a review update because Meredith has done so much for me over these past two years!! I cannot speak highly enough about her. She provides the safest space, with no judgment, for ultimate healing and processing. I originally started seeing her for TMJ pain, but our relationship has evolved over time. She's helped me with breathwork, grounding, and processing so much emotional drama. She took my cupping virginity and has opened my eyes to how our emotions impact our physical being. I love her so much, am so grateful to have found her, and will recommend her to anyone who will listen!

Let's put it this way, I am a tough client. Meredith is one one of those very few magical massage therapists who actually meets that standard, or even sets it for me. She is both technically skilled and deeply intuitive. Her touch has the most healing and nourishing quality to it. And she is an incredibly fun and deep, and insightful person to top all that! I have deep trust in and appreciation of her work, and can't wait till the next time I am able to get on her table! If you find her, never let her go!

Chiropractic work is of course no "quick fix," but honestly, my husband and I look forward to our weekly appointments like nothing else. It's SO NICE having such an excellent business in the neighborhood and I wish more people knew about it so they could take advantage!! Dr. Rachel has a confident but relaxed demeanor, and is equally easy with carrying on a conversation or meditatively going about her work while you relax. Plus, I am usually afraid of dogs, but like Dr. Rachel, her pet, Charlie, is calm and gentle and easy to be around. Dr. Rachel's adjustments are often more subtle than that of past chiropractors of mine, but they have profound results, from relaxing specific tense/knotted spots to somehow loosening up my whole upper body, making even breathing easier. Since starting with Dr. Rachel about a year ago now when we moved into the neighborhood, not only have my carpal tunnel and overall pain levels have gone way down, but I sleep easier, digest easier, and experience way fewer cramps and headaches. Plus, she lets you pay either by appointment or with a monthly package, which saves you a little money. Go to Mt Airy Chiropractic!!

Some of the concepts could be a little "woo woo" but I am really into that so it's fine. I bought a ten pack and I will be buying another one soon, probably this week. Mt Airy Chiropractic is different in a couple of ways. I was given a detailed assessment and tons of information on my personal treatment plan. Unlike other chiropractors, Dr. Rachel does not just forcefully adjust you and send you on your way. There are some spots she checks every visit, and other areas she monitors as needed. The environment is always very welcoming and relaxing. I cannot complete the review without mentioning CHARLIE. Charlie is a dog who is the mascot/ greeter for Dr. Rachel. He is a sweet boy who knows his audience well. I am always a little cautious about new dog friends and he respected that. We are now quite close and I love seeing him. I believe Dr. Rachel has a ton of knowledge and all you need to do is ask.
