Gabriella rejoins Bradford Family Chiropractic – where she was a team member from 2013 to 2017. Gabriella graduated from the Academy of Somatic Healing Arts (ASHA) in the State of Georgia in 2012. She specializes in Orthopedic Massage and Soft Tissue Rehab Massage. Gabriella lives and breathes for relieving patients of their pain. Her care and therapy can sometimes make the difference between walking or not. An Oriental Medicine (TCM) background and her Western training provides a unique integrative therapy combination. And add to that Gabriella’s years of American clinical and chiropractic training and experience. Her integrated therapy is mainly based on soft, gentle rehab techniques – less intrusive. By relieving and preventing chronic pain, such therapy can help heal inflammation and tendonitis. It may also help reduce the inevitable build-up of scar tissue from soft tissue injuries while it creates a release with more/better blood circulation and an improved range of motion.
