- Amber Suders, CMT, CPT, PTA As a body worker in the Hampton Roads area for more than 8 years, I have had over a thousand clients. Whether they come to me for physical therapy, group exercise instruction, or massage therapy, I have experienced age ranges from 10 to 96 years of age, and worked with all the pathologies common to these age groups. Being a medical massage therapist and personal trainer, my primary focus is looking for muscle, bone, and fascial imbalances in the body which commonly cause dysfunction. These parts of the body can be corrected with stretching, strengthening, myofascial (muscle/connective tissue) releases, increased range of motion, and/or realignment. I want to clearly define that I do not perform chiropractic services or grade 5 mobilizations; however, there are many other ways to align the body or manipulate muscle groups to encourage the bodyās natural ability to align itself.

Amber is a phenomenal massage therapist, with first class knowledge of her craft and she exceeds at creating a comfortable and relaxing environment for her clients. Contrary to a previous reviewers fabricated claims, there is no "monthly billing" and the cupping therapy is among the best you will find. Worth every penny and I'll continue to go regularly and have been a client for two years.

Amber is simply amazing! I met her after a local race that she was in support of and she is a wealth of knowledge! Her hands really are magic. She knows so much about the human body and the way it moves. I would recommend her to anyone!

I gave my husband a gift certificate for a 90 minute massage. He had grown accustomed to having regular neuromuscular massages and was sceptical about having a massage done by A Better U. HE IS A BELIEVER NOW. He absolutely LOVED it and wants to go back again. Thank you, Amber. Highly recommend!!

I had never been to a massage therapist before but had a pinched muscle or nerve in my shoulder that would not go away and gave Amber a shot. WOW! Immediately felt better and all soreness was gone within days. The tips on stretches to do to prevent them in the future have proven helpful as well.

She takes time to understand why you have pain and then helps you understand HOW to prevent it. She truly CARES about her clients and their well-being. Thank you for all you do! She prevents future back pains and knows how to solve the real issues.

Ambers knowledge and understanding about how the human body works is key when it comes to properly addressing which areas, muscle groups and joints need attention. I highly recommend her!

I knew Amber for almost 4 years without getting a massage and after getting one I'm disappointed I waited so long! It has been relaxing both mentally and physically! Highly recommended.

I am a fellow massage therapist and while I have not YET had the pleasure of receiving a massage from Amber, I do know that she is an amazingly, passionate, loving mother, wife and woman. Her zest for life and her positive attitude is apparent in everything she sets her mind to do. Good Luck Amber !
