“I first started seeing Heather when I was the stunt double for Superman. On top of Heathers knowledge of the body, her experience dealing with people’s injuries/pain and not just treating but fixing the problem by addressing the core cause of the injury/pain I was having was crucial to my ability to “stay in the game” and be able to do my job and continue to perform at a peak level. Always an enlightening experience when I tell Heather, “I’m hurting here!”, but that’s not actually where the problem is coming from at all and that’s just where I am feeling it. I love her methods (dry needling, cupping, scraping, ART), which makes her stand out from the MANY others I have seen throughout my career who only offer soft & deep tissue work. She also shows me stretch, mobility and strength exercises to do to prevent the injury/ pain from recurring. In my line of work, getting results is top priority, especially after 20 years of high-flying, hard hitting, ground pounding action sequences. That’s why I call Heather!”

“As a stunt performer, I have spent over 20 years abusing my body. I've built quite an impressive collection of injuries over the years. Heather has kept me firing on all cylinders, and has guided me through recovery and rehabilitation over and over again. Her all encompassing style, treats not only the injury, but also the underlying imbalances that could lead to more injuries. While some people wait for their house to burn down, before considering insurance; Heather provides the highest quality of preventative maintenance. I am forever grateful for her guidance, assistance, and overall care. You can only truly understand and appreciate her approach, after experiencing the difference you feel before and after a treatment. Heather is hands down, the secret ingredient to thriving in athletics and life!”
— Chris Brewster- Director, Stuntman, Ninja
“As a person with an overall very active lifestyle I've needed a lot of body care over the years. I had been having recurring issues in my neck, shoulders, and left hamstring but a lot of fascia release style treatments were serving more as a bandaid and nothing was helping the hamstring. A friend raved about drying needling (which I'd tried before) and Heather specifically. She came to my house which was great for my erratic schedule, and not only did I get instant relief from my pain, but after a few sessions she literally found and solved the hamstring issue that no one else could. Her knowledge of the body and how everything connects is impressive and she is the kind of physio that thinks about and tries to problem solve your issues after she leaves so she can come back to work on finding the root of the issue, not just relieve pain. I can't recommend her enough and will continue to do so.”
— Nicole Reddinger- Actress, Stunt Performer
“Heather is the best I have seen for injury recovery. I had seen 3 PTs (for over a year!) before Heather and wish I had started with her. She is excellent at assessing injury and has a thorough understanding of anatomy and which muscles are working together in a particular posture or movement. When I started seeing Heather, I was experiencing a lot of hip and shoulder pain. I am a 44 year old female and I do a variety of physical activities (swimming, yoga, biking, strength training, hiking, etc) and just enjoy being active. Before seeing Heather I was experiencing pain or discomfort in most of my activities and was very discouraged. Now I am pain free in most and have learned more about my own body and movement. I appreciate that Heather is willing to work on different body parts in one visit and works with many different techniques (manual therapy/massage, needling, cupping, scraping, etc). I have already recommended Heather to others and all have had an excellent experience. I would highly recommend Heather!”
— Ashley Tyndal- Yoga Instructor
“I wish I met Heather decades ago. She helped heal me in ways that nobody else has come close to. Her attention to detail, her knowledge and her care go above and beyond. She educates you while helping you. I have raved about her to anyone I can. I am grateful to have moved back to Atlanta, so I am now closer to her again. A game changer in sports medicine and in healing everyone she comes into contact with. I would trust her blindly. 100/10, no notes!!”

“Heather is exceptional! I’ve gone to her for muscle work and dry needling to treat lower back and neck pain, and the results have been incredible. She’s not only highly skilled at what she does, but also warm, attentive, and incredibly professional.”

“Heather truly has magic hands. as a breast cancer survivor, I suffer from aches and pains, and Heather always provides me with relief. She truly cares and understands how the body systems work.”

“I can’t say enough good things about working with Heather! She’s not just incredibly knowledgeable - she’s supportive, encouraging and genuinely cares about your progress. As a stunt performer and dancer, I’ve worked with plenty of trainers over the years, but Heather stands out. She helped me push past limitations I thought were permanent and made me feel stronger, more capable and more connected to my body than I’ve felt in a long time. Sessions with her always feel tailored, thoughtful and effective. Plus, she’s just a vibe to be around. So grateful I found her! ❤️”

“5 star review. Due to a bad accident, I live with severe and chronic orthopedic problems. In addition, I suffered a serious infection in my knee replacement, which was devastating. I have been so traumatized, I've been afraid to let therapists come near me. My daughter recommended therapy with Heather. Heather has an amazing reputation among directors and actors who work in the film & TV studios in Atlanta. She also works with stuntmen who need constant care due to demanding physical work. Since our first appointment, Heather has worked on my leg many times, with superlative results. She has given therapy to my whole family. She is a healer with a thorough knowledge of science and anatomy. She can pinpoint your problems and provide relief through the many therapeutic techniques she utilizes. Heather is a true medical professional. She is open-minded, athletic and blessed with a lovely demeanor. I can not recommend her healing talents enough. 5 star review.”

“Heather is absolutely amazing, and I can’t recommend her enough! Her deep understanding of the human body and how everything is connected, paired with her genuine passion for helping others, truly sets her apart. She’s warm, professional, and incredibly dependable. Heather has played a huge role in my health journey—she was persistent in getting to the root of what was going on and even connected me with other experts to help find real answers. Thanks to her, I’m on the path to feeling better and getting back to the activities I love. If you’re considering working with her, don’t hesitate—Heather is the best!”
— Michelle Roberts
“Heather is the best at what she does. I am not an athlete by any means, but I play basketball twice a week and of course get banged and bruised up consistently. Heather does specific work on the body to address the injury and help hasten recovery. She is very knowledgeable and passionate about her work and helps educate me on exercises, supplementation, and protocol to recover. Whether it's sports massage, acupuncture, stretching, or cupping, she is knowledgeable and targeted. So where I am not a gifted athlete, I feel like one after Heather's work!”
— Michael Albanese- Writer
“Heather is magic! She helps tremendously with speedy recovery, and amazing preventative maintenance. She works with me to understand what’s going on and creates custom programs tailored specifically for my needs. Whenever I walk out of a session with her, I forget the ailments I had when I walked in! Whatever body work you need done, absolutely see Heather!”
— Andrew Horne- Stunt Performer
“Heather Prahl is a fantastic Athletic trainer. I’m a stunt double for actors like Zac Efron, Nick Jonas, etc and I do stunts for Marvel movies and Tv shows, DC, westerns, The Walking Dead and many more. I’ve come to Heather beaten and bruised many times and she always helps me heal fast and gives me tips to prevent injuries from reoccurring and prevent certain injuries from happening at all. She even helps my sons who are athletes as well. I’m very grateful for her services and would highly recommend her to anyone trying to stay healthy and be their best.”
