Gary Collins, Hands on Healing

Fantastic experience: Gary is amazing at what he does, very knowledgeable. He has helped not only myself…my son and mom also 3 generations, age is not a problem. I have and will continue to recommend him to anyone that shares w/me their pain,digestive,etc. issues.

Fantastic experience: I have been struggling with upper back pain that interfere with my sleeping and breathing for around 15 years. I am a physician myself and I have tried various treatments including, trigger point injections, TENS, massage, chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy but nothing gave me any significant relief. I am a classical dancer, so posture wasn’t my issue either! When I tried facial-counterstain treatment all I was looking for was a little relief from pain but I was surprised by the results. After the first treatment session, my pain reduced from a nagging 7/10 to 1/10. After my second treatment, I am pain free! I used to have axial tenderness on my spine for years, but not anymore! I was able to drive for 3 hours, sit in an 8 hour flight without significant discomfort and despite the travel, I’m still pain free. I have not been pain free for 15 years!! I wish I had the opportunity to refer patients who struggle with pain to Gary! Or bring the facial-counterstrain treatment into mainstream medicine rather than pushing opioids. For anyone who is suffering from pain, I highly recommend Gary!

Fantastic experience: Full disclosure....i have fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis with that being said I have to admit I was a sceptic at first, but after the second visit my pain and tingling was significantly less. After the second week my pain and tingling was completely gone!! He is now working on other issues that I have had for years. I highly recommend Gary for any issue that you are experiencing!

Fantastic experience: I have seen Gary for more than one issue. He’ is courteous and he welcomes your feed back. I was in a car wreck over 10 years ago and suffered some injuries to my neck. I had been seeing a chiropractor for years and needed better relief. I found it with Gary. I had reoccurring UTI’s, And I had broken my tailbone twice, Gary was able to treat my issues and give me relief. I feel so much better. And I continue to return, to see what else Gary finds to release in my body. I highly recommend Gary as a practitioner. He really does have healing hands.

Fantastic experience: YES, a thousand times, YES! My tennis elbow was 80% improved after one treatment. It was unbelievable; I wish I had known about this option four months ago. Gary is kind and his techniques very gentle. Do I recommend Gary? ABSOLUTELY! I am trying to arrange an appointment for my parents! If you are in pain- go see Gary! You won’t be sorry.

Fantastic experience: I recently met Gary in a hostel while traveling abroad. He was helping another traveler with a sore shoulder, and after about 20 minutes she said his work really helped her. I tentatively asked if he had the time to check out my sore ankles (we were all walking a long-distance pilgrimage), and he readily agreed. I was so impressed with his immediate commitment to help me, and his absolute attention to detail as he moved through various protocols for ankle pain. He generously gave me two treatments that day. My pain lessened, and I was able to (very slowly) walk several miles the next day, something I would not have been able to do otherwise. Gary's expert care had helped my healing to "turn the corner". This cheered me up and gave me the confidence to renew my own bodywork techniques on my ankles. Within a couple of days, I was back on the trail, walking pain-free.

Fantastic experience: Gary Collins at hands on healing has been incredible to work with! He’s very knowledgeable and is the only one I would trust to work on newborn! My little one had quite a few restrictions following a tongue and lip tie release contributing to difficulty settling , reflux, and difficulty latching/feeding. After working with Gary all of these areas have significantly improved leading to a happier baby which in turn means a happier mama! Thanks Gary for the wonderful work you do!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Gary Collins has been a revolutionary force for dealing with pain in my life! I suffered for almost a decade with severe tailbone pain. It was intermittent, yet mind numbing pain at times. I had tried chiropractic care and practiced better posture, but the pain always came back! So I thought it couldn’t hurt when my wife mentioned Gary. I know pain and disfunction were caused by inflammation in the body, but I didn’t know to what extent. I can’t recommend Gary enough if you have pain that just won’t go away. He provides unconventional care that produces surprisingly satisfactory results!

Fantastic experience: December 2023 I fractured my hip & 3 screws are a part of me now. The discomfort kept me from regular activities & regaining my strength back. I want you to know how much your treatment has helped me. I am more flexible, have less pain, and am feeling more confident. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I've been receiving treatment from Gary Collins for a few months now for lower back and hip pain. I'm so greatful for his knowledge and dedication to helping relieve pain in his clients. I would highly recommend Hands on Healing.

Fantastic experience: I have been receiving treatments from Gary the past two years. His treatments have helped many areas of my body, due to severe spinal issues. These have brought relief especially in my neck, shoulder and arms ; and my lower back. Gary is pleasant and professional. His hands are truly healing!

Fantastic experience: Thanks, Gary, for helping me with some aches and pains. I appreciate your work, and I’m so glad it’s an option in Abilene, Texas!

Fantastic experience: Great.

Fantastic experience: Mr Collins amazes me. I went in with a pinched cervical nerve, severe shoulder pain and shooting pain down arm that was almost unbearable. After 1 treatment, I am 95% better and all pain is gone. He is amazing!! He has helped my family with spine issues, vertigo, digestive issues, facia issues, circulation and now nerve issues. I would recommend him highly.

Fantastic experience: Gary is very good at what he does. My results were amazing! I have had a few sessions with Gary and his healing methods helped my right shoulder return to full strength. The only time my shoulder gives me problems is when I over-train in the gym. Gary has helped my chronic back issues with about 75% improvement in strength and mobility. I will continue to use Gary as my therapist because I have confidence in his healing methods.

Fantastic experience: Gary is highly skilled with many years of experience as a Physical Therapist. As a colleague and a patient of his, I have personally experienced a huge benefit from his advanced training in Counterstrain Techniques. My improved general sense of well-being and pain relief have enabled me to get back to activities I have not been able to do for years.
