Client Voices
"After seeing a chiropractor, other massage therapists, a physical therapist, my dentist, and an ENT doctor I finally found Alexis to find relief from my TMJ issues. She took time to understand my specific issues and tailored her approach to my needs. She is highly educated and understands the complexities of the human body and how certain areas interact with one another. Alexis also offered solutions and resources beyond her practice to show she truly cares about her patients’ health and wellness. I highly recommend Salve for anyone looking for relief from TMJ issues."
