Practitioner of the Month - Debbie Record-Gomez: Compassionate Service with Rapid Release
Meet Debbie Record-Gomez, a long-time Rapid Release user and ambassador. Based in Southern California (San Clemente), Debbie has been serving a client-base ranging from professional athletes to aging veterans and everyone in between.
Why has she been so successful in her practice?
She is well-known and recognized for her manual therapy, but most clients describe her compassion and personal care as feeling physically and emotionally relaxed and refreshed. Through her intuition and conversational skills, she creates a calm, attentive environment where people feel genuinely heard.
Debbie’s approach is based on her belief that physical comfort and emotional well-being are often interconnected. She draws on her background in counseling and education to connect with clients in a meaningful way while using skilled hands-on techniques to help ease areas of tension.
For more than 15 years, Rapid Release has been her primary tool for delivering comfortable full-body sessions.

Its unique dual-motion design allows her to work gently over bony or sensitive areas while also providing precise, targeted work on larger muscle groups and extremities. The flat head offers a gentle orbital motion that feels comfortable even on tender spots, while the additional heads deliver focused energy where needed. This versatility lets her comfortably address multiple areas of the body in one session.
She often uses two devices at the same time for balanced session. Clients frequently comment on the comfortable feel of the treatment and the precision of the tool.
The portability of Rapid Release also allows her to bring this care to clients in various settings, including those with limited mobility.
A Heart for Service
Debbie’s generosity extends well beyond her regular practice. She serves on the board of the American Heroes tribute organization and volunteers her time to help people who cannot afford her services.
From working with Marines at Camp Pendleton to providing care for elderly patients in hospice, she is driven by a deep desire to help others.
