Body Center St. Pete: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Body Center St. Pete has truly become my second home over the past four years! Heidi and Shila are absolutely amazing, and today I had the pleasure of working with a new structural therapist, Adam. After a car accident eight years ago, I’ve struggled with chronic neck issues and a constantly tight right trap. I had come to accept it as my “normal”—until today. After just one session with Adam, the stiffness in my trap is completely gone, and my neck feels better than it has in years! Adam is incredibly knowledgeable, yet explains everything in such an approachable and easy-to-understand way. If you’re dealing with an injury or persistent pain that won’t go away, I highly recommend booking a session with Adam. Thank you, Adam, and thank you to the entire Body Center team! ❤️
Fantastic experience: Adam was incredible. He healed my back pain in one session! Pleasure to work with as well. Great communicator.
Thank you, Alexander!! We are so glad to hear that Adam melted away your pain in one session. :)
Fantastic experience: I frequent Body Center St. Pete monthly. Every time, I walk away with new information about my body. Today’s experience was an assessment using the OOV. The nervous system feedback I was getting was wild. In some ways it felt like a full body workout without actually working out. The most noticeable difference was how much more I can breathe. It’s hard to explain in words what I’m feeling in my body, other than I feel great! The OOV work definitely has me intrigued to learn more. Excited for my next session!
THANK YOU SO MUCH, JADE!! We appreciate you, and your kind words. ✨
Fantastic experience: Wonderful session with Adam last week. He was very skilled at understanding my problem and the results were awesome. As a bodyworker myself, I am always recommending my spa clients go to the Body Center for structural work, massage is not enough to correct the deeper issues. Brunella is also amazing and I am sure every therapist that works there is very skilled at helping you move towards greater balance and being pain free.
Thank you so much, JoAnn!! It's always a special accolade when a fellow bodyworker can have a transformative experience here, too.
Fantastic experience: Adam Fields is effective and professional, who really cares about making me feel better. I am now walking straight and I am no longer limping. He analyzed what was keeping me from standing straight and limp. I was standing straight after ONE visit and I see him once a month to maintain my new/old life. I no longer walk like an old man. Thank you Adam.
Thanks for the kind words, Jon! we are thrilled you've started to change your movement pattern.
Fantastic experience: I had an exceptional experience with Adam today. I presented him with where I was having pain and he got right to work! He was able to almost immediately find the source of my pain and treat it in the 1st session. I was very surprised at how quickly he was able to get me relief for an issue that's been ongoing for 1 year. So happy I found Adam and Body Center St. Pete!
Thank you Isaac! So awesome that you felt that shift immediately.
Fantastic experience: I'd been having shoulder issues for over a year when Adam Fields work on me. After the 1st session I knew I was on the right path. BOTH of my shoulders are doing great now and a lot of it is in due of the work he did on them. I'd highly recommend them to anyone who's especially trying to steer clear of surgery.
So happy to hear, Dora! thanks so much for your kind words.
Negative experience: Just to let every know, this practice charges 200 dollars for an hour consultation with a physical therapist. Then they expect you to pay 130 dollars an hour for a massage therapist. So now physical therapists command 400k a year and a massage therapist makes 260k a year. Oh and they don't take insurance. The reason is simple: no insurance company would put up with this type of practice. There is a reason for usual and customary charges in the medical field. You're ripping people off and they're stupid enough to fall for your nonsense. You call 2 years at the Neurosomatic institute as specialized training. You know what specialized training is? It's a physical therapist who does 2 additional years of schooling for pelvic floor therapy. That's why an insurance company will pay higher usual and customary rates for that practitioner. No insurance company will touch your ridiculous mumbo jumbo. Now if you charged the usual and customary rates, I would attempt your therapy. The Graston technique is a well established practice.
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts! for transparency, it's important to note that you’ve never visited our practice or received care from our team, and we only welcome input from visiting clients, as it helps us improve and informs our community. Our rates are set to reflect the one-on-one, individualised care that's delivered by our licensed professionals, who have advanced certifications and years of clinical experience. We operate outside insurance networks so we can prioritize patient outcomes over administrative limitations, and our fees align with industry standards. We take pride in the transformative results our clients achieve. If you’d like to learn more about our approach or experience our care firsthand, we’d be happy to connect directly.
Fantastic experience: So impressed with my care provided by Adam! I went to see him for terrible back pain that left me unable to get comfortable in any position and by the end of my appointment the pain was down significantly and I was able to move around again. Such great bedside manner. Highly recommend!!
Thank you so much, Emilia! We are glad to hear the pain has subsided enough for you to function better!!
Fantastic experience: I attended my first treatment with Adam at Body Center St. Pete on Friday, June 13th, and I was genuinely impressed by the noticeable results I experienced within just two days. Adam's extensive knowledge and the effective healing solutions he provided made a significant difference. Adam is passionate about helping people in pain without the use of drugs, and I saw outstanding results after just one session. My knee pain has disappeared, and my sleep issues have improved significantly; I actually slept for eight hours last night! The culture at Body Center St. Pete emphasizes a team approach, as Adam also consulted with another therapist in the office.
Hi Andrew! - Thank you so much for the kind words, so happy to hear that you finally slept well and have some relief. We look forward to seeing you again, and there will be a time when our visits are less frequent, which indicates your continued improvement!
Fantastic experience: I made an appointment with The Body Center because of pain in my upper arm that would travel up my neck and down my arm. I would take over the counter pain meds to help with the pain but nothing was working. I went to see Adam Fields to see if he could help. After my session with Adam the pain that I was feeling was pretty much gone. I was no longer feeling pain travel up and down my arm. He is a magician! Everyone in my family has been to Adam for different pain and they all said that he helped them. I would recommend Adam to anyone seeking pain help. 5 star!
Hey David! - Thank you so much for the kind words!!
Fantastic experience: Wonderful, professional, always helpful care. I’ve been with Shila for at least 9 years and value her care highly!
Thank you very much for your kind words, Ellen! We truly feel honored to have the opportunity to be your care provider for that amount of time!
Fantastic experience: What an incredible find!!! All the instructors and therapists are top tier. You will not be disappointed. I particularly need the therapy on my body because of my work out schedule and my disability. I go weekly and have been for years. Alyson has completely changed my body to a comfort level I never thought possible. She, as well as the other staff are amazing. I see her the most and am partial to her techniques and bubbly, infectious personality. For instance, today walked in with neck and trap pain:(. Left pain free and able to swivel my head almost like the exorcist- lol. She’s a magician. Highly recommend!!!!
Thank you so much, Crystal! It’s been an honor to support you all this time, and we’re so glad your pain is now manageable day to day.
Fantastic experience: Brunella is absolutely amazing! She knows exactly where my body needs help and the reasons why. Very thorough and knowledgeable, besides being such a positive soul!
Thank you very much, Arlene!! we sincerely appreciate your kind words.
Fantastic experience: Shila and her team are hands down the best in town! I've been going to the body center for years and I always learn something about my body and how to help myself at home. I also leave every session feeling better. I can't recommend this place enough!!!
Thank you so much, Abby!! -- We truly appreciate your longstanding business with us.
Fantastic experience: For several years I've been a patient and I have to say the care I receive is genuinely exceptional It's not the kind of place where you feel rushed in and out Shila takes her time to understand what I need and the treatment is suited to me She is incredibly skilled and very thorough. It's a place I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for effective and supportive therapy
Thank you so much, Susi! We sincerely appreciate how long you have been coming to our center. It is a labor of love to provide that intentional service so that the appointment does not feel rushed!
Fantastic experience: Amazing teachers! You will feel so energised and peaceful at the same time
Thank you, Chemen, for sharing your feedback. We appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: Life-changing treatments! Shila is incredible - extremely knowledge, kind and compassionate, and integrative in her approach.
Thank you so much for the kind words, Dayna!!
Fantastic experience: Love Body Center St Pete! If it weren't for Shila and her ensemble of talented folks, I would be in terrible shape. I've worked with her for almost 10 years now and am the better for it. I am grateful.
We are so grateful for you, Eugenie! We are honored that you have trusted us with caring for your body for so long.
Fantastic experience: I came to Body Center St. Pete after suffering a herniated disc in my lumbar spine (L3–L4). My doctor recommended strengthening my core, glutes, and stability muscles through Pilates to prevent future injury. However, I was in so much pain that even sitting, laying and standing were a struggle—mat Pilates felt impossible. On top of that, I started developing knee pain from how my body was compensating for the nerve inflammation. I knew I needed to address the structural imbalances in my body and find a more gentle, personalized approach. That’s when I discovered the Body Center, which offers structural therapy combined with rehabilitative Pilates—and they even mention working with clients who have herniated discs on their website. This combination of therapies has truly transformed my body and my pain. When I started, I could barely walk normally, and my right hip was tilted significantly higher than my left. Within just a few sessions, my hip alignment drastically improved. They also helped me relearn how to walk properly, focusing on how to distribute my weight through my feet and legs. The rehab Pilates instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and gentle, tailoring every session to my body’s specific structural needs. After four months, I’m in a completely different place—I’m transitioning into mat Pilates and soon moving into a maintenance phase with only occasional structural therapy. I’m honestly still in disbelief at how far I’ve come in such a short time. Their integrated approach to healing has made a remarkable difference in my pain, mobility, and overall well-being. My herniated disc is nearly healed, and I’m no longer living in constant pain. I can’t recommend Body Center St. Pete enough.
Thank you SO much for trusting us with your pain, It’s wonderful to hear how our approach has helped you move forward in so many ways. We are honored!
Fantastic experience: Alyson is the best! She listens and listens closer (both to you and your body response). I've been through several LMTs in the last few years, and she's the best!
Thank you so much, William! - We are passionate and love to listen to our client's needs and the way their body speaks back.
Fantastic experience: Shila is the best. She is so interested in problem-solving and has such a great rapport with my kid. She really takes her time. She has a ton of knowledge but is always curious and learning. She makes you feel like you are an equal partner in fixing whatever is going on with your body. Very empowering.
Thank you so much, Jenny!! - We strive to empower our clients and ensure that they do not feel undermined. It's crucial for us that the experience is focused on learning about your body, rather than being told about it!
Fantastic experience: Excellent and knowledgeable, and necessary for therapy.
Thank you so much, Fred! we appreciate your kind words and patronage.
Fantastic experience: Great place for a massage and other services. Ask for Alyson, she is very knowledgable and is the best therapist my husband and I have ever been with. She'll take care of you!
Thank you, Kim, for the kind words!!
Fantastic experience: What a fantastic experience we had at Body Center St Pete for Laura Turley's (Professional Lymphatics) Networking Meeting. Shila, Delpfina and all the experts there gave an amazing presentation explaining just how Professional and helpful thier services are. The Energy in the studios and Staff drew me to Body Center of St Pete and I will be sending my Reiki clients to them for any issues I see could be helped there. Thank you for an enjoyable AND educational evening! When Love & Service come together, JOY is created. Keep Enjoying what you're providing for our Community! In Love & Light, Brenda
Thank you, Brenda!! Love & Kind Service is the way.
Fantastic experience: Always an amazing experience. From injury repair to maintenance, no place compares! Miracles happen here not to mention the wealth of knowledge, level of personal attention, and commitment to health & happiness. I am a client for life
Jeanine, thank you SO much for these kind words and for trusting us to care for your body. We are truly honored to assist in your health journey!
Fantastic experience: Was referred by a friend, and glad I came. Brunella was amazing and I will definitely be coming back.
Thank you so much, Zach! We're happy your friend graciously referred you to us, and we look forward to seeing you soon.
Fantastic experience: Very different approach to getting back to fitness level
Thank you very much, Rich! We truly appreciate the opportunity to assist you and are glad to see that you are open to our alternative therapy modality.
Fantastic experience: What an incredible experience at The Body Center! I have been diagnosed with scoliosis and after years of making little progress with conventional doctors, I was really searching for someone who could help me understand how to take better care of my spine in my daily life. During my initial consultation and structural therapy with Shila, the owner, I found it to be the best investment I've made in a long time. Shila reviewed my X-rays and immediately helped me grasp my spinal imbalances, starting to work with me on correcting my posture. She explained what scoliosis truly is in a way that no other specialist has done before. One of the most valuable insights I gained was understanding not just the curvature of my spine but also how my spinal cord is twisting. Through her detailed explanations and corrective movements, she guided me on how to effectively unwind my spinal pattern. I was so impressed by how productive just one hour with Shila was that I ended up booking a package of three classes with another fantastic therapist/trainer. She walked me through foundational exercises to address my imbalances, analyzed my gait, and helped me enhance my overall posture while walking. I can't recommend The Body Center enough!
Thank you SO much for sharing your experience, Camilla! We’re honored to be part of your journey and love to hear about your progress. Shila and our team are passionate about helping clients find balance and alignment, and we’re so happy to support you as you continue to unwind and strengthen your body.
Fantastic experience: I have been a client of Shila at Body Center since the beginning, and I can’t recommend this place enough! As a professional dancer and instructor, I have struggled with back pain as well as many other aches and pains from my job and just daily life. Shila is so thorough in her work and really looks at the whole picture to get to the root cause of the pain. Recently she introduced me to the Oov, and through her guidance and working on my own, my back is now pain free! The Oov really was a game changer for me and I no longer need to have treatments on a regular basis. Shila and her staff are professional, incredibly knowledgeable about the body and will make you feel great!
Thank you so much, Heidi!! We sincerely appreciate you being a client of ours since the beginning. It's a privilege to be able to share this work with others in a beneficial way.
Fantastic experience: If you are suffering from any chronic pain or an injury that you just can't beat, this is the place for you! The Body Center's Structural Therapy sessions are amazing! The entire staff is very knowledgeable and well educated. They definitely know the intricacies of the human body and how best to help you. Such a wonderful gift to have this gem in St. Pete
Thank you Maria! We are so appreciative of your feedback and are very happy you're having a good experience with us.
Fantastic experience: Delfina is a perfect example of excellent client attention and care. She is knowledgeable and methodical in her approach to this process - working towards the overall benefit.
Thank you Angela! We are lucky to have her and are so happy you are benefiting from her sessions
Fantastic experience: Absolutely cannot recommend Alyson enough. Literally changing my life by taking my pain and stiffness away worth every penny
Thank you so much, Essi! we sincerely appreciate your support and are SO glad we can help you on your healing journey.
Fantastic experience: Shila is a miracle worker. The results have been amazing. She has fixed a number of issues with my aging body and in just a few treatments. What a gem! Cannot recommend more highly.
Thank you so much for your kind review. It’s our pleasure
Fantastic experience: My experience at Body Center St. Pete has been top notch. Alyson has that special ability to locate and release trigger points that caused me years of chronic pain. My body feels like decades have been peeled away. It's a special treat to find such a caring staff!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that your experience at Body Center St. Pete has been so positive. Alyson is truly exceptional at what she does, and we’re so glad she could help bring you relief and make you feel renewed. We’re honored to be part of your wellness journey and grateful for your appreciation of our team. We look forward to continuing to support you!
Fantastic experience: I practiced pilates and got an adjustment for migraines/TMJ at Body Center, and both experiences were excellent. The space is clean, bright, professional and welcoming. Shelia did my adjustment, and not only did my impending migraine stop, I have been feeling less of the general stiffness/headache-y-ness that usually follows me around! As far as Pilates, I loved it. I wanted to practice as it’s good for not only fitness but ADHD and interoceptive awareness, and the workout left me sore in places I didn’t know I had muscles! I’ll definitely be back for the group classes as well as more 1:1. Thanks, ladies!
Thank you so much for your detailed review! We're thrilled to hear that our technique helped relive your migraine so quickly and continued to provide relief long after you left! We look forward to seeing you back for more classes and sessions!
Fantastic experience: Cute little place, individualized treatments with caring and professional staff.
Thank you for your feedback!
Fantastic experience: I have had the opportunity of experiencing a massage and Pilates. Sheila and her team truly care and are wizards at making sure the body is aligned and functioning optimally. I leave here feeling so much better than I came. Thank you, Body Center team!
Thank you for sharing your experience! so happy to hear that!
Fantastic experience: The Body Center helped me know more about myself and understand how it works. I didn’t realize how much stress I put on my body and they taught me helpful practices to maximize my health potential. Everybody is knowledgeable and very very nice.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Our team is dedicated to helping everyone understand their bodies better and achieve their health potential. We're glad you found our practices helpful.
Fantastic experience: I loved my first sessions with Maria at Body Center! She assessed my goals and customized the sessions to achieve my goals, and even more! As a busy entrepreneur and mom, being able to get a combination workout - stretching and strengthening - all at the same time will make my life flow so much easier.
That's awesome to hear, glad we could provide you a more efficient customized technique for your workouts. Thank you for the feedback!
Fantastic experience: The Body Center St Pete is amazing and I can’t recommend them enough for structural therapy massage and their Pilates classes. Every practitioner that I’ve worked with is so knowledgeable and passionate about what they do, and they truly treat each persons individual needs. I personally didn’t come in with pain (although I know their experts at addressing this) but had a lot of balances from my years of weightlifting and being active, all of which are fixed every time I leave my session.
Wow, thank you so much for this glowing review! Thrilled to hear you've had such a positive experience. Our team is really passionate about what they do, and it's wonderful to know that it shows. We're glad we could help you with your imbalances and keep you feeling great!
Fantastic experience: The team at the body center is very knowledgeable. I feel better walking out of there every time. I’m glad I found them.
Thank you so much for your feedback! We're delighted to know that our knowledgeable team helps you feel better with each visit.
Fantastic experience: Amazing experience, very thorough review of my body and its needs. Felt amazing afterwards!!!
We're so happy that you had an amazing experience! Your well-being is our top priority!
Fantastic experience: The practitioners here are lovely- they truly want to look at the whole patient and find solutions! Martha’s hands are healing! And Heidi’s Pilates instructions are top notch.
Their holistic approach really makes such a difference. Wonderful to know you had such positive experiences with them. Thank you for the positive feedback!
Fantastic experience: Wonderful, powerful, unforgettable Literally to the point
Moments and feelings like that are what truly makes a difference. It's great to see your thoughts summed up so perfectly! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: St Pete is surely blessed to have this up leveling sanctuary! Chronic and or acute pain,musculoskeletal distortions, stiffness and or hyperplasticity… Shila and team never cease to amaze me, always ready to assist in transformation.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're truly honoured to be considered a sanctuary for healing. Your kind words inspire us to continue our mission of providing exceptional care and support.
Fantastic experience: Very professional and knowledgeable staff. Sarah is amazing!
Thank you Shannon!
Fantastic experience: Shila and the team at Body Center are the absolute best. They are incredibly skilled and offer a blend of transformative healing and re-education that gets to the root of the issue. The center is serene and the vibes are always high which provides a perfect atmosphere for their uniquely effective therapeutic bodywork. As a movement professional and bodyworker who has traveled the globe seeking to learn from the best in our industry, I can honestly say that Shila and her team are the most qualified healers in the world. I’ve benefitted from their dynamic programs including 1-1 sessions as well as group workshops and I regularly travel from NYC to take advantage of their cutting edge trainings. I highly recommend Body Center St Pete not only for addressing pain and injury but for learning the tools necessary for maintaining a healthy, strong, and centered body.
Thank you so much for your heartfelt review! We're thrilled to hear that you've had such a positive experience with our team. Your feedback means the world to us, especially coming from a seasoned movement professional like yourself. We're honoured to be apart of your healing journey and look forward to continuing to be apart of it. We hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Amazing experience! I have had back pain for years and tried everything. Doing a combination of Pilates and Structural Therapy has helped me so much. Everytime I go see Alyson for Structural Therapy I walk away feeling 10x better. So worth it.
Thank you Alex! Your dedication and consistency has really paid off! We're happy to give you the support you need for healing.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful staff and owner. Finding solutions for longtime issues. Highly recommend!!
Thank you Steph! We appreciate your feedback!
Fantastic experience: I worked with Alyson and was absolutely blown away by her understanding of anatomy and the spinal pattern in my body. I trust both her expertise and emapthy completely & cannot wait to see how the work that we continue to do together helps me in the long run.
Thank you for the feedback! We love to empower clients by educating them about their body.
Fantastic experience: So far I've only had one session with Brunella. At first I felt much, much worse. I got anxious even that things in my body were worse than i thought. But she fixed some long standing issues I've had in just one session. Granted, i have hundreds more to go through as someone with a connective tissue disorder, but i have noticed marked differences in my pain level and mobility. I'll be back eventually. The downside is the price, but if you can afford it do it.
Fantastic experience: I was referred to Body Center years ago and wish I had listened! Sarah is amazing and is helping me feel like a functioning human again.
Very happy to hear that!
Fantastic experience: Incredible treatments after a very serious accident!! Other therapy was not working!! The body center ...repatterns muscles.... ..which retrain...unlike treatments from chiropractors...bones have no memory So happy we found the body center. As well as very caring professionals. Thank you so much. Rick and Anna
Very happy we can provide you therapy that brings you relief and healing. Thank you Rick and Anna!
Fantastic experience: I cannot imagine a more knowledgeable, capable, caring practitioner. I had a cervical spinal fusion after a car crash several years ago, and had a lot of severe exacerbations of pain and muscle spasms for years. My "good days" were still painful, to the point of struggling to get decent sleep, and limiting exercise and one of my passions, paddling. Shila was THE thing that made the difference in getting my quality of life back. I saw so many medical doctors, chiropractors, and physical therapists before her with no significant improvements. I cannot count the number of times I went into her feeling like I could not stand up straight and in constant pain, but would leave her office feeling completely better. I absolutely had to do "homework" to keep up with the progress she would make, but she gave me the tools I needed to do that, as well. She is a true healer and so incredibly good at what she does. Thank you, Shila!!
Thank you, Zachary!!
Fantastic experience: Brunella is such an amazing therapist. The whole center is beautiful and clean and has so many amazing resources including online videos that are so beneficial and helpful to healing and the therapists are so knowledgeable on the body.
Thanks for the kind words, Nicole!
Fantastic experience: Alyson is treating my scoliosis which I have had all my life. In just two treatments she has made a significant improvement in my posture, skeletal alignment and pain. She is extremely knowledgeable and skilled. She gets as much joy in my improvements as I do! I am very grateful to Alyson and Shila the owner of the Body Center.
Fantastic experience: There are not enough stars to give this place or their professional, knowledgable staff! I am a nurse, personal trainer and group fitness instructor. I’ve been in physical therapy since 2019 for a multitude of injuries. Their knowledge of the human body and the effects of repetitive patterns and injuries is fascinating. I’ve had structural massages from Delfina and Alyson that have undone years of pain and spasms in my neck, back, legs, buttocks and shoulder to give me full range of motion and decreased my pain significantly. Heidi and Shila have broken down exercises to the most minuscule movements and taught me how to reset my patterns and exercises. I am so thankful that I have found this amazing group for my health! I highly recommend The Body Center of St Pete!
Fantastic experience: I love love love ‘Body Center of St Pete’! I have been a client & friend of Brunella for over a decade & have also known Shila for many years. I would follow them anywhere because I trust them for all of my Body Work needs. Nobody else can work the magic that they do to keep me feeling & functioning at my best. Todays session was extraordinary - Brunella treated my sinuses which had been bothering me for several months. I’m happy to report that I’m 100% improved & feel like a brand new person. HIGHLY recommend you reach out and experience their skills for yourself!
Fantastic experience: Long story short but I was injured/possibly cracked a rib diving in beach volleyball. Was sore for a week and it was only getting worse, not better. I went to the Body Center (referred by a friend) and it CHANGED EVERYTHING! Jessica, one of the Pilates instructors, did a corrective exercise that stretched me out, non-painful and left feeling GREAT! I went in not being able to take a deep breath or cough without having a stabbing pain in my side and within a couple days after leaving there, I was back in the court feeling normal! Thank you Jessica and the team at Body Center for all the support! Highly recommend this place… the instructors REALLY know what they are doing!
Fantastic experience: So far I've only had one session with Brunella. At first I felt much, much worse. I got anxious even that things in my body were worse than i thought. But she fixed some long standing issues I've had in just one session. Granted, i have hundreds more to go through as someone with a connective tissue disorder, but i have noticed marked differences in my pain level and mobility. I'll be back eventually. The downside is the price, but if you can afford it do it.
Fantastic experience: Brunella is so kind and thorough. She has been fabulous and has taken so much time with me. She has helped me really understand what I need to do to work with my imbalances.
Fantastic experience: Great experience and so glad this was recommended to me for TMD and posture correction.
Fantastic experience: I’ve learned so much from my time at Body Center St. Pete. Delfina, Brunella, and Shila has taught me so much about my body. With each session, they inform me on how to maintain the body in ways catered to me. Their Pilates is top notch as well and I always leave feeling refreshed and unwound. Structural Therapy is much more than a massage. If you are struggling with any kind of long-term pain, definitely give this a try!
Fantastic experience: Amazing experience! Friendly staff and Brunella is extremely knowledgeable. My body hasn't felt good in YEARS and she was able to fix so much in just the first session. She explained everything she was doing, gave me tips on what to do at home, and was so caring.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been to a ton of massage therapists, chiropractors, and doctors over the years to try to understand and fix my pain. The body center has a totally different philosophy from all of those folks and it makes more sense than anything I’ve ever heard. They identify your structural and postural problems and then work to get you back in balance. They understand how the whole body works together and don’t just try to treat one part. Besides that, they are lovely people. I can’t recommend them enough
Fantastic experience: After having no luck with reducing my severe hip pain with my primary care doctor, I sought out Delfina. With her knowledge of massage, yoga, and her warm and kind personality, I knew she would be able to help me. For our first meeting, she coordinated her schedule to get me in sooner. After just one session with her, my pain was reduced drastically. After a few more sessions, I was as good as new. Not only did she help reduce my pain, but she also explained what was causing it and we talked about habits contributing to the cause. She gave me home exercises and provided knowledge so I can monitor my condition at home. It was truly a pleasure to work with Delfina and I recommend her to everyone!
Fantastic experience: Give someone a fish, you feed them for a day. Teach them to fish, you feed them for a lifetime. The Body Center has changed my perspective on healing, strengthening, and body awareness. Shila is a genius when it comes to analyzing your faulty movement patterns and teaching you how to unwind your tightness by yourself at home. As someone who has suffered from chronic pain and tightness, the lessons learned here have been invaluable to my daily well-being. This is not some generic "here are exercises to do at home" type of place- you are taught how to understand your body through nuanced workout sessions and revitalizing treatments. I've never met anyone that knows the musculoskeletal system as thoroughly as Shila and her team. Everyone at the Body Center is extremely kind, knowledgeable, and motivational. Highly recommended if you work a desk job, are recovering from injury, or just want to level up your workouts! A+++
Fantastic experience: I no longer need the toe joint replacement three different foot doctors recommended. I am gaining structural alignment and retraining areas which have not been used due to my own dysfunctional patterns from my employment. I have had a highly individualized plan that requires and respects my input which is totally unlike conventional medical treatment which offers one size fits all approach for treatment and healing times. In my experience this process is getting to the root of the problem so we can resolve it and evaluate that outcome. I cannot believe that my swelling went away, I am mobilizing my great toe and I am regaining mobility in a hip that was really locked down and getting my scoliosis aligned. It did require that I set aside conventional beliefs of healing time frames and conventional models of movement so that I could regain the functional alignment I needed for myself. For anyone interested in really getting to know your body and connecting with it and making changes then this place is for you. I have never experienced this level of expertise with body structure and movement therapy, patience and respect. Ever! I wish I had found this place before my knee replacement. But it’s never to late. The body is Incredible and so is this place. Don’t ever give up. I am 54, overweight and my body still responds with healing. It’s never too late. The body is really incredible and so is this place.
Fantastic experience: This place is incredible and changed my life. My entire 20's were limited with chronic physical pain and The Body Center helped me turn it around and gave me a new career path. I received extensive treatment in the summer of 2018 and it reduced my pain, improved my functional movement, and helped me learn about my imbalances and distortions. Between Neurosomatic Therapy and Pilates the therapists here can help you fix your pain by giving you hands on treatment and exercises for you to do on your own that will benefit you and your unique posture and limitations. If you feel stuck and unable to exercise or clueless on how to get in shape without hurting yourself then this place is for you and they will help you. Thanks to them I am now in great shape and continuing to improve. I'm also now a Neurosomatic Therapist myself and recently graduated from school. I cannot thank the Body Center enough for all that they have done for me and the new life and passion they have given me. I'm truly blessed. I have worked a lot with Shila, Zoe, Maria, and Delfina; and they are all phenomenal therapists!
Fantastic experience: I had tried multiple types of therapy to alleviate chronic back pain. Body Center was my last stop before biting the bullet and having back surgery. Essentially through a combination of structural therapy with Shilla and corrective exercise with Maria, I went from unable to walk 100 yds to walking 5 miles or more in 2 months. How this worked was, Sheila worked on my muscles releasing tight areas correcting imbalances and posture. Then working with Maria personally designed exercises that strengthened weak muscles and stretched overworked muscles. From my experience it is important that you utilize both of them to successfully correct major problems. I highly recommend them.
Fantastic experience: I no longer need the toe joint replacement three different foot doctors recommended. I am gaining structural alignment and retraining areas which have not been used due to my own dysfunctional patterns from my employment. I have had a highly individualized plan that requires and respects my input which is totally unlike conventional medical treatment which offers one size fits all approach for treatment and healing times. In my experience this process is getting to the root of the problem so we can resolve it and evaluate that outcome. I cannot believe that my swelling went away, I am mobilizing my great toe and I am regaining mobility in a hip that was really locked down and getting my scoliosis aligned. It did require that I set aside conventional beliefs of healing time frames and conventional models of movement so that I could regain the functional alignment I needed for myself. For anyone interested in really getting to know your body and connecting with it and making changes then this place is for you. I have never experienced this level of expertise with body structure and movement therapy, patience and respect. Ever! I wish I had found this place before my knee replacement. But it’s never to late. The body is Incredible and so is this place. Don’t ever give up. I am 54, overweight and my body still responds with healing. It’s never too late. The body is really incredible and so is this place.
Fantastic experience: Amazing structural bodywork and corrective exercise therapy with Shila! Professionalism, expertise, and patient exploration are her greatest strengths. It feels like we’re figuring out what’s best and most healing for me TOGETHER. Thanks, Shila!
Thank you. That means so much. "together" is key!
Fantastic experience: I had the opportunity to visit Body Center St. Pete off Central Avenue and was overwhelmingly pleased by my experience. After suffering for several years with numb arm and hand issues that I thought were caused from work, I realized that a lot of factors had played into my current situation. Shila LaGrua, one of their certified specialists, conducted a very thorough evaluation of my body positioning and gave me some real insight into the fact that it's very common for new moms to suffer this kind of issue and I was not alone. Her friendly demeanor and professional manner allowed for my first experience with Structural Therapy to be a positive one. I would highly recommend Shila and her team to anyone suffering from body aches. They were wonderful!
Fantastic experience: Zoe has helped me tremendously with my jaw locking issues. Much better than any chiropractor's work.
Fantastic experience: Zoe does structural therapy at the body center to help me with my paulsy caused by nerve damage in my left arm. I suffer from tension and paid due to the limited range of motion I experience. She has helped me regain my range of motion and allows me to help work toward a healthier state each month! Love the time I spend here. Would highly recommend to anyone!
Fantastic experience: I have been visiting the Body Center St. Pete for about 8 months now. I was initially searching for help and treatment that could maybe ease chronic pain from scoliosis. I have learned so much from the team here, everyone is extremely knowledgable and caring. Neurosomatic Therapy is something that anyone with any pain should seek out! I thoroughly enjoy coming in for structural therapy which helps with so much more than your typical aches + pains - total body alignment. I have been coming in consistently for physical therapy/pilates and with their unique + well thought out approach, I've finally started doing yoga + riding horses again! Something I didn't think was possible!
Fantastic experience: I am a professional organizer and I am constantly bending, lifting and simply overworking my body on a regular basis. Without Shila’s help I would be in constant pain.She has consistently helped various body parts work through several degrees of pain and movement. I generally see her once a month to keep my body in good working order but if I’m experiencing a particular problem I may go more often. She also has Pilates instructors that she works closely with in regards to specific exercises that will strengthen muscles to help my problem areas. Everyone that works at Body Center St Pete has made a tremendous difference in my life!
Fantastic experience: This little Body Center is so quaint and welcoming the moment you step in and backed by a strong female team. Shila and Zoe are my go-to's for sore muscles and achy pains and I always leave my treatments feeling like I can comprehend the source of my pain a little more clearly. If you're an athlete, a yogi, a crossfitter or an 80 year old with hip pain, you will be in good hands here!
Allison, thank you so much for sharing! Our passion is education and healing, and look forward to sharing more great experiences with you!
Fantastic experience: With a challenging bike tour from Lookout Mountain, TN to Tallahassee, FL on the horizon, I was concerned with a pain in my right hip, one I usually experienced after around 30 miles on my bike. I'd seen Zoe previously and with 3 treatments she'd totally eliminated the numbness in my hands and fingers I'd experienced while bike riding. This time, once again, Zoe took careful measurements and went to work. I felt better immediately but knew the test would come on the bike. The next week, I rode 35 miles, no pain! Then the true test, 8 consecutive days of riding, 50 miles per day, and LOTS of hills. I finished the tour yesterday, pain-free. I am so impressed, not only with Zoe's treatments, but also with the exercises she gave me to do at home. I would highly recommend Zoe for her knowledgeable treatment, home exercise program, and caring follow-up.
Fantastic experience: Zoe at Body Center St. Pete is absolutely amazing !!! She is an incredible massage and structural therapist and made me feel so comfortable and at home in the studio from the very first visit. She is incredibly intuitive and professional and demonstrates knowledge and skills that are very seasoned and highly regarded. During the sessions, her balance of listening to my feedback and history and offering suggestions and advice all while guiding me through breathing and relaxing have made my experience even more enjoyable. She has a healing touch and her detailed knowledge of muscles and the body is so evident. She is so kind to teach and share about what she is doing and the muscles she is working on. Right away just after the first sessions I have already learned so much about my body and structural mechanics- it has been life changing. I so appreciate her gentle nature and extensive knowledge and the way in which she communicates and offers techniques to practice at home. She has offered me a whole new way to look at my body mechanics and be more in tune with my body and its balance. Shila is also amazing and I really enjoy how they consult one another and collaborate as Shila took interest in my x rays and even participated in a session. The studio is warm and welcoming and has a collective community feel that is really nice and comfortable. I highly and whole heartedly recommend these practitioners and the Body Center St. Pete!
