I have been working with Dr. Sean for about a year and a half now, and I am so very grateful that I have. He has helped me through several injuries, managing anxiety and managing a sleeping disorder. Additionally, his sessions have become a safe place that promotes healing and self growth. I always look forward to our appointments, and I highly recommend working with Dr. Sean.
In preparing to write a review detailing my personal experience with PraxisRVA, I first read through those previously posted by others in the community. They’re all so spot on (and beautifully composed)! I happened upon Sean Orr’s business card while taking a class at True North Yoga quite some time ago. I did a little research and reached out to him via e-mail simply to make an inquiry to see if TCM might be a good alternative to treat my TMJ/Myofascial Pain Dysfunction. I found that initial interaction to be informative and affable. The conversation was left open ended with the ball in my court as to whether or not I was interested in exploring this option further. Never one to rush into a decision :), I waited several months (8?… maybe 10?… or even 12 perhaps?) before finally reaching out again. I scheduled a brief telephone consult and followed up with an in-person consultation/treatment session shortly thereafter. I experienced significant improvement in my TMJ pain as well as my overall wellness very quickly. It’s very hard to articulate exactly how TCM worked for me, but it’s magical. I always seem to have a little extra spring in my step every time I leave his office. I would recommend Praxis to anyone without reservation. Dr. Orr is exceptionally engaged, intuitive, and competent. He also seems to have a gift for connecting with his clients on whatever level they currently are. I don’t know that I’ve ever encountered a provider with a greater sense of passion for his craft or compassion for his clients. RVA is fortunate to have him practicing in the community.
