Paul Desaulniers
Chiropractic Assistant

Coming to us with a background in libraries and education, Paul is a ready - made practitioner in the field of public service. He is a long time personal advocate of wellness through chiropractic. His son was unable to keep any food down when he first began transitioning from nursing to solid food. Standard medical care offered no solutions. And, you guessed it, one adjustment was the answer. Though it may seem like a miracle, it's simply a matter of 'chiropractic works." Paul lives with his wife Laurel in Thomasville where they attend First Baptist Church and share an interest in gardening.

Upon receiving a second opinion that physical therapy might alleviate the pain, John and his parents chose the latter option. After pursing and successfully completing the physical therapy John went on to letter in 5 varsity sports in high school, Lake Forest Academy, play both college and semi-professional football and earn 2 Black Belts in the Martial Arts.

Yvonne Forrest
Massage Therapist

I was born in Johannesburg, South Africa. After high school I moved to Europe. Europe is where I discovered massage therapy; after studying applied philosophy/psychology for many years. Finally, I discovered that I wanted to help people not only spiritually, but on a physical level as well. I earned my degree in Massage Therapy in 1983. In 1986, I moved to the U.S. and began working in the medical/human resources field. At last! In 1989, I moved to Tallahassee, where I have raised my son.

Tallahassee is where I discovered the benefits of chiropractic care. Chiropractic treatment helped to eliminate my son's constant ear infections and my own awful migraines. I believed so strongly in chiropractic care that I began working for a chiropractor while attaining my American Massage License. In that time, I learned how much soft tissue therapy, (such as massage), and chiropractic care combined help so many people in wellness.

My eagerness and desire to help and to educate people in total wellness was restored! I have owned my own massage therapy practice since 1993. During this time I have come to know my friend and chiropractor, Dr. Fred Russo, and the whole TCSMRC family. Dr. Russo and family are the most caring chiropractic team I have ever met! It is my pleasure to work with Dr. Russo to help you attain your health goals.

Jessica Marsh
Office Manager

I am a native of Tallahassee and mother of two. In 2004 my children and I were in a terrible car accident. After many months of treating with another chiropractor with no relief and their refusal to treat my children, I had given up on chiropractic care.

I have been a part of the TCSMRC family since 2006. My faith in chiropractic care was restored immediately. My children and I are now healthy and pain free!

Karen Stansberry
Office Specialist

I was born in Texas, but grew up in Colorado. In 1984, I moved to Florida; and to the Tallahassee area in 1998. My husband, dog (son) and I currently reside on beautiful Lake Tallavana.
I have been a part of the TCSMRC family for several years: multiple years as a patient and a team member since 2007. I suffered from back pain for over five years. After treating with MANY doctors and a variety of therapies; I was fortunate enough to find Dr. Russo on the internet. In a matter of months I had MY LIFE BACK! Thanks to Dr. Russo's commitment to my health; I am back to fishing and caring for my husband and home.

Everyday I am excited to be a part of the TCSMRC family. I LOVE being a part of a team that helps others achieve what I have.
