Avalon Wellness and Performance

I originally went to Avalon Wellness and Performance when I identified Jose Guerra and researched that he had extensive training in manual osteopathy (specifically for me I was looking for craniosacral therapy and visceral manipulation). I’m so glad I went to Avalon because they helped so much. Jose performed a thorough full body analysis, focused on getting to the root cause, and gave me targeted exercises for areas I didn’t even realize needed attention. I’d been dealing with chronic neck pain, headaches from concussions, and severe nausea—and Jose provided invaluable insights that finally made things better. It can be challenging to find someone truly skilled in visceral manipulation work, but Jose absolutely knows what he’s doing. His passion for his work and genuine care for his pat

I have been taking my 6 month old to have craniosacral therapy with Maxine once a week for the last month and seeing her is always the highlight of our week. Not only is Maxine super sweet and personable but she is also very knowledgeable. I feel like I learned so much from her in the little bit of time we’ve been seeing her. She does an amazing job at educating her patients and making sure you understand the reason behind what she does. My daughter’s body tension is almost nonexistent after seeing her for four sessions. My daughter never sleeps in her car seat and after two of the sessions, she fell asleep in the car as soon as I started driving home. I’m so glad to have found her! A true gem!

I recently visited Gabriel Lopez for a massage after dealing with extreme shoulder and back pain from intense workouts, and the experience was exceptional. Gabrielle spent over an hour working with precision, skill, and a deep understanding of the body. The relief I felt afterward was remarkable — my back and neck felt completely restored. What truly sets Gabriel apart is not just the relaxation, but the therapeutic value of the session. This wasn’t simply a massage; it felt like genuine repair work. I’ve had many massages over the years, and this was easily one of the best I’ve ever experienced. I couldn’t be happier with the professionalism and expertise provided. I’m already looking forward to booking my next session.

Grounded, Strong, and Pain Free As someone who practices massage therapy, bodywork, and energy work, I’m extremely selective about who I allow to work on me. It’s rare to find someone with both the technical expertise and the energetic presence to truly meet me where I am. From the very first session, you’ll know Jose is in a different league. The way he listens, explains, and tailors everything to your actual physiology is powerful. He doesn’t just hand out exercises, he helps you understand why each one matters, and suddenly it all clicks. That’s exactly what happened for me. I applied his insights to my training and immediately noticed a huge shift: no more knee pain, better breathing, stronger alignment, and a deeper sense of grounding and power during workouts. Jose carries a rare

I had a truly life-changing experience at Avalon Performance Therapy with Jose, the owner and Osteopathic Manual Practitioner. I’ve never met anyone so skilled, knowledgeable, and talented in his field. After battling a bad back for over ten years and seeing countless doctors who suggested spine injections, Jose’s evaluation blew me away. He carefully assessed every major muscle in my body, explaining everything as he went, to uncover WHY I’ve been in pain. Previous doctors and physical therapists were focused on masking the pain instead of addressing the root cause. I had been stuck in bed for days on and off, unable to walk, and Jose’s tests pinpointed the real cause—something no doctor or physical therapist had figured out. Mid-session, I started crying, which is so unlike me, because I
