I have had shoulder tightness for over 20 years. After just one session I had more movement in my shoulder than I've had in years. I have tried massage therapy, PT, and chiropractic care. All have helped some, but after four sessions of the Hunter Method, I am feeling the best I ever have.
- MARGARET HANUS -
Hunter therapy WORKS! Stephanie cuts through the noise of mainstream medical solutions. She has reminded me that the body God gave me is capable of healing and that I don’t have to settle for constant discomfort or stiffness.
- DR. MARC CROMIE -
The Hunter Method is AMAZING! I really didn’t believe it until I experienced it. As a physician I have never seen any type of massage, muscle release technique that is as effective as the Hunter Method. I highly recommend it. I even referred my mom.

Stephanie and Julia have helped me when I had excruciating pain in my neck, shoulder, and my back. This muscle release method has been a wonderful alternative to pain. I have a degenerative disk in my neck and back, and much tightness in glute, legs and neck. I am very thankful that Stephanie came to Chattanooga to practice her method!

I had severe neck pain & the Hunter method showed me where the muscles are that needed to be massaged and at last the pain was gone!

My husband has neuropathy and after his 1st intro treatment he noticed improvement!

Had extreme lower back pain for well over a year and met with 5 different doctors and physical therapists before finding Stephanie and Julia. Since working with them, I no longer have the pain and have resumed all of my workouts, golf, etc.

I love to walk with my dogs.. long walks and inevitably got some pain in my foot that just didn’t seem to alleviate no matter what I tried. Then my daughter told me about this therapy. I finally got relief. I’m so happy Stephanie chose to open here in Chattanooga!

For going on eight years now I have been in constant pain with Small Fiber Neuropathy to the point that NOTHING could touch my feet. I have Fibromyalgia and most days it is hard for me to even get out of bed. I’ve seen multiple doctors and neurologists that just dismissed me and sent me to pain management. Hunter Method has been like a miracle to me! I felt a lot of relief right away!

MAURA BARTON

I had one of my good friends tell me that I had to try this Hunter Method. I was skeptical because I’ve had a lot of injuries, and surgeries over the years, and still have issues. Well.. now, I’m the guy referring to all my friends. If you want to stay active like I do.. this is the real deal.

SCOTTY SMITH

After many years of trying different methods for my neck and shoulder pain like chiropractic care, traditional massage therapy, acupuncture and physical therapy, I was pleasantly surprised to have relief from tightness in one visit and a huge improvement after the second visit.

MELISSA WHITE

I just want to say the Hunter Method has changed my life in a very positive way. After knee replacement in March I had several setbacks with scar tissue, knee pain, and stiffness. I was on a cane until I met Stephanie and she introduced me to the Hunter method. I am grateful to my doctor for suggesting I try the Hunter Method!

Pain Relief Expert, Developer of the Hunter Method®

Stephanie Hunter LMT

Stephanie started her journey in 1992, she was in a lot of pain, and wanted lasting relief, so she dedicated her life to figuring it out. The result was this modality, the Hunter Method®. She knows that God gave her gifts to share with others that are suffering. She spends her days teaching, and treating, and leading people and their pets, out of pain. (FL/MA15772/TN13614)
Certified Hunter Method® Therapist Level 3 & Certified Dog Coach

Julia Valentine LMT

A native of Jupiter, Florida, Julia started out right after high school making bread at a very popular bakery. She didn't know then that creating sensitive, strong hands were needed for her future career! She met Stephanie, and after receiving some treatment said, "wow! I love this.. I would love to do what you do!" So she went off to massage school, passed with flying colors, and began to help people get their lives back using just her hands, and her brain! Julia had the unique opportunity to work very closely with Stephanie, and because of that she’s highly skilled in this method. Clients in Chattanooga love her, and she’s grateful that she helps them get out of pain, and since she is also a Certified Hunter Method® For Dogs Coach, she helps their doggies too! #TN14090

MANAGER

Helen McGuinness

Originally from the Catskill Mountains in NY, Helen moved to Florida in 1982. She’s married, and has a daughter & three grandchildren. Helen didn’t come to the center initially looking for a new career. She came because she was injured in PT, and had two frozen shoulders, afraid she’d have to have surgery to be able to move again. She got treatments, and was totally amazed that she regained full movement after spending months not being able to wash her hair, or wave her arm “hello!” Helen is so excited to be a part of The Hunter team as our manager, knowing that through her own story, she has compassion for that person who is hurting and discouraged. Everyday we get compliments on how kind, and helpful she is to everyone that connects with us. We are grateful she leads the team!

faq
1. Where are you located?

We’re in the CrossFit Brigade building on the North Shore of Chattanooga, right behind the law building. It’s easy to find and we have plenty of parking. Walk into the building and then take an immediate left and you’ll see the sign down the hall.

2. What should I wear to my session?

Come in comfortable clothes you can move in—like yoga pants, joggers, or athletic wear. You’ll stay fully dressed during your session, so no need to change or bring anything fancy.

3. How long is a session?

Each session is about 45 minutes. First we will go over the intake form that you’ll fill out when you make your appointment, then do a postural assessment. We will thoroughly discuss your issues and then do the session.

4. Who do you work with?

We work with everyone from newborns to 90-year-olds. Most of our clients are in the 45–75 range. We also see a ton of kids and teens (ages 10–18)—including athletes, autistic kids, and those with scoliosis, injuries, or other movement challenges.

5. Do you offer longer or more intensive care?

Yes! For chronic or more complex issues, we offer 1- or 2-week immersion programs. People come from all over for these when nothing else has worked.

6. Is this like typical massage or physical therapy?

Not at all. The Hunter Method is a completely different approach. We use interactive muscle therapy—gentle touch and movement that communicates directly with the brain to reset muscle tone. No stretching, no deep pressure, no gadgets. This massage is just done in a unique way. We just aim to relax the muscles back to optimal tone, and the body adjusts itself. You are an amazing healing machine.

7. Can I bring my child or a family member with me?

Absolutely. Many people bring their kids, spouses, or parents. We even show you how to help them at home if you want. The gym has a lobby where they can sit outside too.

8. Do you work with people who’ve had surgery, injections, or serious diagnoses?

Yes. We see a lot of people who’ve already tried everything else—and many find relief here for the first time. We don’t diagnose, but we do support your body’s natural ability to heal.

9. How many sessions will I need?

Check out the graph on the 1-1 care page. We tracked 252 clients to answer this exact question. It seems that the magic number was 6 sessions but sometimes people need more care, or even regular care. We don’t do any “yearly plans” like some massage and chiro places. When your body makes the change the changes are much longer lasting. If we feel like you are not a good fit for Hunter Method you will still learn a lot about your body, and be glad you came. We don’t take just a handful a year. There’s no pressure and no cookie-cutter plans.

10. How do I book a session or apply for an immersion?

Click the button below to book your session or fill out a short form to apply for immersion care. You can also call the number on the 1-1 care page for Helen. We’ll follow up with details and next steps. There is an approval process for immersions. We know who does best, and make sure you get the most value for your time and money.

11. How much are the immersions?

The immersions start at $2,500. Each person’s case is unique and how much time, and care is needed varies. It also depends on if you only see Stephanie or split time with other certified therapists. We go over everything before you are approved.
