	Robin I have been working at Heit Rehabilitation for several years now. It has been a great experience to be able to increase my knowledge of chiropractic care and see the benefits of that care in my own life, as well as the lives of my immediate family. Having the opportunity to see first-hand the improvement of health take place in individual lives is very rewarding. I am proud to be part of a team that truly cares about helping others attain optimal health.

	Shelly Shelly is an independent contractor affiliated with Heit Rehabilitation. Simply call the office for her availibility. I began coming to see Dr. Heit after suffering from back pain for many years. I was tired of taking medication to control my pain, and I knew there had to be a healthier approach than just medication. Finally, I got to the point where I was willing to see what chiropractic care could do for me. The adjustments were not uncomfortable and I felt better immediately. I suffered from less pain and had more flexibility. Shortly after I began my chiropractic care I was able to discontinue the medication and felt better than I had in years. I’ve always had the passion to help others and this lead me on my path on becoming a massages therapist. I truly believe that with both regular chiropractic adjustments and massage therapy a person can greatly improve there well being and attain optimal health. I am very excited to work with a team of people who feel the same passion as I do to help others and I look forward to be able to serve you. Shelly Eyster L.M.T., N.C.M.T.
