Testimonials
My husband and I recently completed a full course of treatment each with Alicia — both with excellent results! Alicia is incredibly gifted, not only in analyzing pain-related issues but also in supporting real healing through a holistic approach. We both felt genuinely cared for throughout the process. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking effective, compassionate care.
As a dedicated athlete, performing at my best requires more than just training—it demands proper care and recovery. Having a skilled, hands-on massage therapist has been essential in keeping my body in optimal condition. What truly sets VDM Therapies apart is the extra mile she goes. Not only did she treat my body, but she completely changed my approach to my overall health. I came to understand how much restricted fascia and poor lymphatic drainage were impacting my performance—far more than I had realised. Today, I’m in a better space both mentally and physically, and my body is in the best condition it has ever been in. Thank you, Alicia at VDM Therapies—I know I can count on you for the long journey ahead. You have truly been a blessing and essential to my goals and lifestyle in becoming better.
I connected with Alicia immediately! She’s professional, friendly, and focused on getting results. As an athlete dealing with sore, stiff muscles, my recovery has improved greatly since working with her. Her treatments are professional and highly effective – my muscles respond especially well to her cupping/negative pressure treatments. I sleep better, feel more balanced, and function better daily. My body feels safe and cared for, and I always leave refreshed and ready for my next event. I highly recommend Alicia to any athlete needing professional recovery support.
What an experience! I went to Alicia for treatment of a very stiff and painful neck that was causing severe migraines. She is very professional, makes you feel completely at ease, and has strong hands that apply exactly the right pressure—afterwards you feel immediate relief. I saw her again for a cupping massage due to lower back problems following back surgery. Her holistic approach to addressing the root cause, not just treating the symptoms, is remarkable. She’s now on my speed dial—thank you, Alicia, you have magic hands! Her treatments are professional and highly effective – my muscles respond especially well to her cupping/negative pressure treatments. I sleep better, feel more balanced, and function better daily. My body feels safe and cared for, and I always leave refreshed and ready for my next event. I highly recommend Alicia to any athlete needing professional recovery support.
VDM therapeutics has truly made a difference in my life. I struggled with ongoing back pain, but through Alicia’s care and expertise, I’ve experienced real relief. Alicia took the time to understand my needs and provided treatment that actually works for me. I feel so much more comfortable and able to move freely again. I highly advise anyone dealing with back pain to go and see Alicia!
Ek is baie tevrede met die terapie/behandeling, my spier spasmas is minder, veral die erge pyn en spasmas in my nek. Ek beweeg en funksioneer baie makliker! My linker hand is nie meer so dood nie en my lae rugpyn is ook baie minder. My hele lyf voel baie beter na Alicia se behandelinge. Ek sal haar terapie vir almal aanbeveel, want dit het baie goed vir my gewerk!
Ek wil vandag net baie dankie se vir die wondere wat Alicia verrig het om my te help met my pyn beheer. Ek het ongelooflik pyn in my heupe en kniee en dan is hulle ook baie styf dat ek soms sukkel om op te staan. Maar as Alicia klaar met my gewerk het is ek n ander mens en dan werk alles sommer weer mooi.
I highly recommend Alicia for her exceptional care. Her treatments have significantly alleviated my back pain, enabling me to resume various activities with renewed comfort and mobility.
Alicia’s treatment has been transformative for my psoriasis, numbness in hands and feet, and mobility issues. She’s helped me regain full range of motion and significantly reduced my pain. Her expertise and care are exceptional – highly recommended!
