Rita is the most amazing chiropractor and massage therapist I have ever experienced in my life. She really cares about her clients and provides a combination of amazing healing practices that ensures you walk away pain free. I hadnt been pain free in quite a long time until I met Rita! 10/10 recommend to anyone, especially if you're wary of chiropractors in general. She is patient, kind, and gentle in her adjustments to ensure that your body is healed. She goes above and beyond even to find the root of your tension whether that be emotional or physical trauma and gently helps your body find peace.

Empathy, genuine concern, love, gentle. These aren't usually the words you would use to describe a chiropractor with. Certainly not the ones I've been to before. She understands the body very well and has tools that you wouldn't find elsewhere. I am the type of person that asks questions about what a Dr is doing to see if I agree with it or not. She gave me a thorough explanation when I asked, until I understood it well. I truly appreciated how I felt while in her cozy, inviting space. I was always greeted with a smile and warm-heartfelt appreciation, not as a client, but more like family. I never felt at all rushed. Dr Rita allows you to explain in detail how you feel and your concerns about your health. She then makes this her priority and works on these in whatever ways are most effective, whether its NET, QN, adjustments, or supplements. For those of you who are not familiar with NET: picture emotions that are holding you back in your day to day life. These can be fear, humiliation, etc. Imagine someone finding and clearing these emotions you've been storing up since childhood. It is absolutely amazing because it has helped me have better relationships with my family, friends and most importantly my husband! Just picture the relief you could be feeling after a session of that and an adjustment. I don't say this much, but she is one of the the only professional people I know to be efficient in her work. She finds the exact emotion that is hindering you from your goals and works with you to shrink it in a controlled way. As far as pricing goes, she is beyond generous. I have been to places that start the clock the min you walk through the door, but this is not how she does business. In fact, the only thing that reminds me that she is a doctor is her skillset, knowledge of the body and the many diplomas she has accredited to her. Dr Rita is humble, ever-learning, and thorough. She knows many different ways to resolve an issue along with having the patience and dedication to put them into practice. She is truly a gem and a kind spirit.

I have been going to Rita for around 7 years now and highly recommend her and her services! She is a delight to interact with and knows just how to get to the root of most any issue. I generally use her for chiro and massage. The few times I needed NAET therapy she surprised and delighted me by making my hives go away from an unknown to me source. I literally got hives daily randomly and one session with her and it’s all cleared up! She is a blessing bc I work in healthcare and know how broken that system can be. Don’t hesitate to book an appt with her!

I must begin by saying Dr. Rita is the most knowledgeable practioner I have ever experienced. Not only is she brilliant scientifically speaking but also intuitive. She figures out my body like no other practioner has ever taken the time to. She is a modern day healer. I have visited her for a multitude of reasons over these last few years and each time leaving more knowledgeable and physically healthier. She doesn't medicate, she heals. She listens to your body, your emotions- all of it. I have never met a more caring person. She is a treasure to me, I share her info with everyone I know. She is priceless and indispensable to my health.

Dr. Rita Lathon’s care at her practice, Restorative Touch, is exceptional. She is fluent in a number of healing modalities, which she suggests and applies as the symptom/situation presents itself. Her manner is comforting and professional; I felt immediately at ease in just our quick conversation to set up our initial meeting for Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) therapy.
As someone who has lived with PTSD due to trauma repeated throughout my formative years, it has not been possible for me to remember (so that I can grieve and resolve) the event that initiated the trauma, possibly because it happened before my brain was capable of encoding memories with the benefit of language and/or situational awareness. What this has meant for me is that I could only strengthen my resolve to cope with the emotional-state flashbacks that occur in times of stress, but I could not cure the source of them. I saw NET as a way to bypass the linear-thinking mind and go straight to the unconscious memories for an opportunity to finally resolve them, and thus resolve my PTSD.
My cautious hope was well placed in the care of Dr. Rita. She has skillfully and compassionately led me though many sessions now, and for the first time in my life my PTSD flashbacks are declining in both occurrence and severity. And while what Dr. Rita does is not psychotherapy, sessions with her have created more healing for me than the sessions I had with more than a dozen counselor and psychotherapists over the course of my life prior to beginning NET treatment.
I am more grateful to Dr. Rita than I can ever fully articulate.
I whole-heartedly recommend her for NET as well as massage therapy.
(Dea)
I have been very pleased with my treatments with Dr. Rita. She is the only doctor I have been to that looks at the whole body and works on fixing the problems versus just treating the symptom. Dr. Rita is very caring, gentle, and thorough. I have been very impressed with her ability to tune into the body. I feel like she really listens and cares about what I say and how I feel. I feel in good hands with Dr. Rita. I was also impressed with how she handled my 2-year-old daughter. She was able to engage her and keep her happy while adjusting her. Both my daughter and I look forward to our continued care with Dr. Rita.
(Meaghann)
Dr. Rita is great. I've been to maybe a half dozen or so chiropractors over the year. Most are just not good. Dr. Rita is good.
What really stands out is how well rounded she is. She really understands all the facets of good health. She can make a simple adjustment if that is what is needed. But, she can also identify if your issues are more nutritional or emotional just as well. She has several other skills as well. I've never seen anyone nearly as diverse. She is constantly learning more and more to add to her already extensive knowledge.
I've never had her messages, but I've had multiple people tell me that they are excellent as well.
I really highly recommend her. If you are really hurt, just need a little fine tuning or a simple massage, give her a shot. You won't regret it.

Dr. Rita is a gifted healer and a wizard.
(Joy, Part 1)
I am in my 70s and was referred to Dr. Lathon by a friend. I filled out the most thorough case history I had ever experienced and went in for a diagnostic. Dr. Lathon was very knowledgable, and warmth and caring are part of her professionalism. She discovered energy blockages and resolved them, tested for allergies and found some of which I was unaware, did NET and helped me release a concern about a friend, and did quantum neurology and resolved some energy blockages and weaknesses. She even tested my supplements for me to ensure I was taking things compatible with my body.
I left her office feeling healed and with an awareness of the energy flowing throughout my body. I have since had a massage from her and once again experienced her magical healing energy. My conclusion: She is a powerful healing wizard! As the Terminator says "I'll be back!"
(Joy, Part 2)
I am so blessed to have met Dr Rita. She is unique in being able to utilize multiple modalities to address health challenges. She is not a typical one modality fits all chiropractor. Her loving and caring manner is such a great addition to her professional accomplishments.
(Keith)
I am fortunate to have been a massage client of Dr. Rita's for eight years. Her superior knowledge of the body and talent make Dr. Rita a singularly gifted therapist. She is an equally amazing chiropractor. Dr. Rita doesn't just make me feel better-she addresses the underlying causes for chronic pain and treats the whole person. In my case, she prescribed a series of targeted exercises that I continue to use as a tool to keep my body happy. I highly recommend Rita, whether you're in pain or looking to improve your overall health. See how great healthy can feel!
(JoAnna)
All my life I have struggled with severe anxiety. For as long as I can remember it has ruled just about every facet of my existence. I don’t really know how to explain how it felt expect that my head was always busy, my thoughts were always racing. Peace, calm or quiet didn’t exist in my world. My head was always “on”, and I constantly searched for ways to turn it “off”. After countless years of trying to alleviate the anxiety I came to believe that nothing would ever work, and I had never been proven wrong until I met with Dr. Lathon.
I think few people can say some event or circumstance truly changed their life but that’s what happened for me the day I met her. Dr. Lathon suggested doing something called NET and honestly I didn’t know anything about it, didn’t understand it, but really what did I have to lose? Until you have tried NET I am not sure there is a way to explain it. Dr. Lathon was able to pinpoint with an amazing accuracy emotionally charged events from my past that were the cause of all this stress and anxiety that had plagued me from my earliest memories. I remember asking her if she was magic because honestly that’s what it felt like to me. As soon as the treatment was over I felt a calm, a peace that I don’t remember ever feeling before in my life. That sounds like an exaggeration but for me it wasn’t. My head had never been quiet before.. ever! I walked out of that treatment room exhausted but with a calmness that I had never experienced before, a quiet that I’ve never had before, and a peace that hasn’t left me since. How amazing is that? Not a single racing thought since!
NET truly was life-altering for me. The effects were instant and profoundly dramatic. Dr. Lathon is a gifted practitioner, and I will be forever grateful for the changes she brought about in my life. I believe I’m a better wife to my husband, a better mother to my kids, just a better me, period. Things seem possible now that never did before. I just ran my first half-marathon since completing treatment with Dr. Lathon and am planning to run my first full marathon next year at 40 years old. My only regret is that I didn’t find her sooner. I feel blessed to have a second chance at the life I always wanted to have, and I’ll always be grateful because it’s Dr. Lathon and NET that have given me the opportunity to have it.

Dr. Rita is my one-stop shop for holistic healing and helping me to feel my best. I have used many of her services - massage (she is the best!), chiropractic adjustments, nutritional planning to help my digestion and the most unique - Neuro Emotional Technique (NET). I had never heard of NET prior to Dr. Rita introducing it to me, but I have found the sessions to be immensely helpful to work out issues - some that I am aware of and some that we discover along the way. I will definitely continue to do NET and recommend it to any of my friends who are struggling with issues that even therapy doesn't seem to solve. I go to Restorative Touch Chiropractic not only because it helps me to feel better physically, but I feel Dr. Rita has my genuine well-being at heart and listens to my issues and offers solutions with the many different tools at her disposal. I highly recommend her services!
(Julie)
Dr.Rita is an amazing woman. A true healer to a hurt body. She is accommodating to families with little ones. She is kind hearted. Her chiropractic skills ease my aches and pains. Her NET has helped my emotions and depression. I often walk in to see her and will be stressed and leave happy. She offers advice for a healthy life as well as homeopathic remedies. She is an integral part of my health care team.
(Michelle)
I really wish there were 10 stars available.
Dr. Rita is the most amazing chiropractor, holistic practitioner & massage therapist that I have ever met, and believe me, I've met a lot of those practitioners in TX!
Dr. Rita is "the Real Deal." There are no bait-and-switch treatments, plenty of transparency, and of course, a magical touch! She has kept me going for years despite a serious heart defect. If I had trusted Western Medicine alone, I'd likely be dead by now.
She is the "go-to" person I recommend for all people I meet who are stumped about their illness/condition. Their doctors are also stumped.
Dr. Rita has a very thorough initial evaluation for an astoundingly small fee, which covers everything from food sensitivities & chemical/metal toxicity to finding out what's harmful in your gut.
Her supplements are strictly Pharmaceutical grade, and their prices are often lower than on-line prices (IF you find a website that carries these high-quality supplements).
So, if you could put a price on your health + all the wrong meds you would buy instead of the correct supplements, what would that be worth to you? My answer: Priceless. All of her recommendations in years have been spot-on, even with my complicated condition. I thank God she is in practice, and feel sorry for those who trust only Doctors to "heal" them.
(Denise)
Dr. Rita is thorough, thoughtful and caring. We would not hesitate to recommend her.
(Emma)
Dr. Rita Lathon is wonderful & very caring. She is extremely knowledgeable and brilliant. Her thoughtfulness is endearing. I would recommend her for injury care & also trauma care with her specialty in NET. Dr. Rita Lathon is amazing!
(Anne)
Dr. Lathon is amazing! I like what she does enough that my wife and I travel from Houston just to see her. She can help get to the cause of what is going on, and support it in a variety of different ways.
(Dr. Chase)
I have used Dr. Rita a few times for massage therapy and to solve some allergy issues. She is very knowledgable and is very understanding about your needs. She was able to help me alleviate my spring allergies with some adjustment and herbs. I highly recommend see her.
(Dr. Collin)
Dr Rita is so compassionate and thorough.
(Amber)
Best. Healer. Ever. Not your average chiropractor. She has a wealth of info, from nutrition to quantum neurology!
(DD)
Dr. Rita provides a truly exceptional service. I can say without any uncertainty that after my first session there was positive change to my mind, body and spirit. I feel that our mind has absolute power to heal the body and Dr. Rita's methods were right in line with what I need. I highly recommend anyone to use her services and restore your own balance within.
(Matthew)
I have known Dr. Rita Lathon for a couple of years now, but just this year have had the need and opportunity to go see her for chiropractic care for back and shoulder issues and as a massage therapist for my back and legs as I have trained for and completed a couple of marathons this year (marathons 29 and 30). She is very knowledgeable and does a fabulous job.
(Jeff)
Dr. Rita is a true blessing to those she encounters and isn't the typical "Crack-N-Pop" Chiropractor. I found Dr. Rita when looking for treatment through QN and NET to treat a lower disk issue. After the initial consultation she immediately went to work addressing my lower back issues through Chiropractic and Massage Therapy.
She listens and actually cares about the holistic well-being of her patients. She will take inventory of present alignments of the patient and then get to work alleviating any causes for pain, strain, or misalignments.
I highly recommend Dr. Rita to any and all looking for strong Chiropractic provider who is compassionate, wise, witty, straight-forward, and diligent in treatment follow through.
(Vincent)
She fixed an old injury. I was in a brace. Never had one since. She is precious to me.
(Karen)
Dr. Rita Lathon is wonderful. She gives you your full attention and looks to find the reason for your problems.
(Karla)
Dr. Rita is amazing. She is a key part of my families health. She is attentive, friendly and kind. She is a true healer and has an amazing bedside manner. I say visit her even if you feel healthy.
(Michelle)
Dr. Lathon, I wanted to thank you for the outstanding chiropractic care and massage therapy you have given me in the last year. You are amazingly efficient and professional, and your knowledge of the body is truly remarkable! I appreciate the dedication and skill which you demonstrate in your practice on every single one of my visits. I have been under chiropractic care for over 20 years, and I can say that anyone seeking chiropractic care and/or massage therapy should give you a call—they will not be disappointed! Words cannot express how much I appreciate you.
(Kelley)
After having had spinal surgery and having endured a long period of rehab, I still found myself in the need to recover my good health. Nothing really worked. As frustrating as this long quest was, it was in the end beguiling in equal measure for I found Dr. Rita Lathon. Dr. Rita’s methodology is highly effective due to many reasons, only one of which is the fact that her expertise encompasses many therapeutic fields in one person.
(Alberto)
I used to see Dr. Rita for massages and chiropractic adjustments in Dallas, and she is amazing. Hands down the best massage therapist I have ever been to! She is the best at working out stubborn knots and her massages made me feel relaxed, light on my feet, and years younger. I can't really assess her as a chiropractor because I had never had an adjustment before I went to see Dr. Rita, but I was always amazed at how many things she was able to pop back into alignment. I never felt nervous when she was popping my spine, and I always felt great after! Dr. Rita is a person who clearly loves helping people, and it really shows in her work. I would still be visiting her regularly if she hadn't moved to Austin. Y'all are very lucky to have her! I highly recommend her services.
(Erin)
Arriving in Austin an unknown was awaiting me--my daughter was to have twins, two girls. I knew there would be demands, but wasn’t prepared for the stressful living situation and the varied help needed for the proper care of the twins and mom. The emotional and physical stress was beginning to show and I knew if I was to be of any help to my daughter I needed to get my body into a state of health. I was at a loss at how to make the best food decisions for my body and knew my system wasn’t absorbing and utilizing the nutrients I needed. Also, I was suffering from allergies (itchy eyes and throat), but I didn’t want to take drugs for it.
I called Dr. Rita and felt assured by our conversation that she would be able to assist me in gaining a state of adequate health to perform my responsibilities as mother and grandmother. I was more that pleasantly surprised and satisfied after the first visit.
Through her professional guidance and techniques in the following weeks, my whole being has been brought more into a state of harmony. Through her varied approach of acupressure, massage, chiropractic adjustments, Neuro Emotional Technique (NET), and Nutritional Response Testing, I left our sessions more able to function in my new role. I have more energy. My outlook on life is calmer with more assurance. I’m happy about knowing proper food choices for my body. Also, I’m no longer afraid of getting my much-needed chiropractic adjustments and now look forward to the benefits of being in alignment!
She has helped change my life. I feel her help is for my entire life… her help will always be there. It was not only the professional help but who she is that has made a difference.
Thank you Dr. Rita.
(Peggy)
Dr. Rita is an amazing diverse chiropractor. My family of four has brought great challenges to previous chiropractic care. She was able to handle the adverse challenges without a problem. My traveling husband is 6'6" tall, my competitive swimmer daughter is 6', my youngest daughter has had reconstructive hip surgery at the age of 2, and I had the normal neck pain from holding the office phone with my shoulders. Dr. Rita used a cross-over method of chiropractic care and massage therapy from her previous background to keep us pain free for four to six week intervals. This is the longest any of us ever went pain-free. We can't thank her enough for her great techniques.
(The Sims Family)
As a competitive swimmer, my neck and back always hurt. When I met Dr. Rita, I was hoping she would understand since she appeared to be athletic as well. She was able to explain how my muscles were forcing my spine to pop out of place. She wouldn't do the normal neck to feet adjustment. She modified it for my needs. As a six foot fourteen-year-old, I couldn't explain the pain but Dr. Rita took care of it. The massages were an added bonus but the best part was her ability to recommend home routines for me to train my body to be pain-free. I really thank Dr. Rita for her work because it actually improved my swimming.
(Kathryn)
With a welcoming presence, a strong understanding of her practice, and thorough analysis of all aspects of treatment, Dr. Lathon helped me to feel better before I even had an adjustment.
I've had two previous chiropractors and neither took such a thorough and whole-being approach the way Dr. Lathon did. The initial consultation was in depth and I could feel that I was being heard for what problem I actually had. In addition to the physical body, Dr. Lathon tested for an emotional element. This approach was much appreciated because the emotional/physical relationship so often go hand in hand.
The adjustment itself was relieving and once again very thorough. I haven't had any significant problems with my low back since treatment and the costs for treatment are very reasonable. Dr. Lathon won't try to talk you into a treatment you don't need. I found her to be humble, knowledgable, and genuinely invested in helping me heal.
If you're looking for a Dr. who is skilled in their field, genuine and welcoming, and will give you total care and attention to what ails you, you've found one of the best.
(Joel)
Dr. Rita
Thanks so much for the fine adjustment you gave me last Wednesday. I was sore on Thursday but it was a good sore. That soreness has subsided & in particular I now note it seems like my left leg is about 1 inch longer.
I have used the Ma Roller to remove Knots in my back for years. It does not hold a candle to your hands.
Feel free to show this testimonial to anyone, as you are truly a global asset in this profession and everyone should know.
Thanks again Nick Jones
