Pain Free Wellness Center

As of January 1st Pain Free Performance has expanded its outreach to the community by creating Pain Free Wellness Center. The Wellness Center is located in the same office complex directly behind our current space. The Wellness Center is comprised of a new Egoscue treatment studio (in addition to our existing space) as well as two new practioners.  Meet our three new faces below!




JoAnn Christy, R.R.T., C.M.T.

JoAnn Christy is a Registered Respiratory Therapist and has been a Certified Massage Therapist since 2000 after completing the Medical Massage Program at the Virginia School of Massage. JoAnn's practice encompasses both relaxation massage and therapeutic massage. She has also been trained as a Schatz Technique (tm) Practitioner and is the only person ever granted this title. After an intensive mentorship with Bernard Schatz, P.T., she and Bernard went into private practice for over 2 years. The Schatz Technique (tm) treats chronic pain issues and is the perfect adjunct to The Egoscue method. While Egoscue aims for realignment of the joints, The Schatz Technique (tm) works to soften painful areas of fibrotic tissues. JoAnn is also certified in pre and post natal massage as well as teaching parents how to massage their newborns.




JoAnn offers Swedish relaxation massage in one hour or 90 minute sessions and The Schatz Technique (tm) in 2 hour sessions.

Christie decided to attend acupuncture school after personally experiencing the amazing results of acupuncture and craniosacral therapy.
