Massage Therapy Testimonials

"Deep knowledge, real healing."
-Leslie Staples, RN

Before coming to Sheila, I had had only routine massages. After recent heart valve surgery my body was tense and aching and Sheila's deep tissue massages greatly helped me. Not only did I find Sheila well trained and professional, she also listens well and communicates clearly and helpfully. - Teresa N.

Linette listens to you, and can see what you need done just by your posture. Seems very knowledgable and skilled. I come out feeling like a new person every time" - Jacob

I have had the pleasure of receiving bodywork from Rebecca for several years. Most recently, it has been for scar work after I had a total mastectomy for breast cancer. Rebecca possesses a calm demeanor and a deep knowledge of body systems and therapeutic techniques. After a session of scar work the scar itself is more pliable and less inclined to pull. But even more importantly, an area that had been ravaged by surgery is reclaimed and feels more like "me". -Morgaine

"Beth is the best! She has amazing knowledge and skills that prove immensely effective when one needs massage therapy, particularly due to an injury. I would not have the mobility that I have today without Beth's expertise, diligence, kindness and perseverance. She is truly remarkable and #1 in my book. - T.C.

I have been seeing Sheila regularly now for a few months, and am so encouraged by the progress we have made together on reducing my chronic aches and pains. Sheila is an excellent listener, and really tunes into whatever specific issue I’m having when I see her. She adjusts her techniques and pressure to meet my individual needs, and creates a lovely atmosphere for the experience. Everyone at Kennebec Therapeutics is professional, courteous, and welcoming, and I always look forward to my visits. 10/10 recommend!

Linette was excellent. She made sure I was comfortable not only with the room itself but with the amount of pressure being applied during the massage She asked the right questions, ensured the massage was enjoyable and I was relaxed. I am looking forward to my 2nd appointment with her in two weeks.

I have found no other health professional more skilled and knowledgeable about how muscles and bones interact than Beth. She brings an amazing gift/skill to figuring out and addressing the origin of the problem, rather than treating the symptomatic area exclusively. I have seen her, and my osteopath, for over 20 years for scoliosis and advanced osteoarthritis. Together, they have kept me going so that I function on a very high level compared to where I would have been. I shall be forever grateful for Beth! - Holly D., Readfield

Rebecca has been working on scar tissue that I'd accumulated 10 months ago from a traumatic injury to my fingers that required flesh to be sewn back together. The surgeon did an excellent job and the fingers healed well but the scar tissue has limited my range of motion and the nails are not yet growing properly. Since she started working with me 6 weeks ago, I have noticed a significant improvement in range of motion and appearance. Even more importantly, when she works on my fingers, I can feel that her work is reaching the level of my nervous system. I suspect that the trauma has been stored there somehow and I feel certain that her work is allowing the impact of the accident on my CNS to heal. Remarkable work! Certainly an area of healing that is missing, post surgery, post PT. Thank you Rebecca! -Cassie

Highly skilled professional! I have seen Beth for different issues, and she is very good at what she does. She also makes you feel very comfortable, and explains what she plan to do and why it is beneficial. You leave, not only feeling better, but knowing more about what you can do to help yourself. I highly recommend her!" -ALNWW

"I've been seeing Beth for over 10 years. Her knowledge and skills are top shelf- she's kept me out of surgery and healed many a very messed up skeletal problem. Was referred to her by a doc who respected her work. The best" -MA C.

"Truly helpful therapeutic massage! Beth Labaugh is wonderfully skilled in therapeutic massage. I have been a periodic patient of hers for over 15 years. She's helpful with serious issues. This isn't just a regular 'feel good' massage."
-B. Nadler

"I am very fortunate to have found Beth. Following treatments for cancer I faced muscle contractions, pain and limited range of motion. After a long search trying numerous massage therapists I found Beth Labaugh. She has an exhaustive knowledge of working anatomy which was instrumental in alleviating my post surgical chemo and radiation symptoms. Thanks, Beth!" -S. Grody

"I recently finished massage therapy for a frozen shoulder. I was in terrible
pain on my first visit to Beth Labaugh, but within a couple of weeks, I was able
to resume much of the use of the arm. I am now back on the path to regular
activity thanks to the professional and compassionate care I received at
Kennebec Therapeutics. Not only would I return to the practice if I have need
again, I would highly recommend Kennebec Therapeutics to others. Thank you,
Beth!" -Arolyn Childs
