Get Quality Care Even If We Are Far Apart


 "I WOULD WALK 500 MILES…”

You're singing the song now, aren't you?! 😆 I have several clients who travel up to 5 hours to see me! As the only Certified Postural Restoration Specialist near them, they will make the drive in order to get the best care for them. Many even stay overnight and see me 2 days in a row to get the most out of it. Pretty cool, huh?! The ability to provide them immediate reinforcement and review the following day is what makes their plans so successful! Retraining the brain takes continual reinforcement and consistency - ESPECIALLY when learning how to create and sustain health in your body in a completely new way. Making the changes you need to fully address the problem goes beyond each visit. It takes consistent reminders, continual mindset support, and repetition of this “new mantra”. Doubt & confusion are totally normal with this type of work and having support along the way is KEY! Now, NOT EVERYONE CAN TRAVEL THAT FAR. And NOT EVERYONE CAN SEE ME FREQUENTLY ENOUGH to gain that reinforcement... Good news!!! My PT-on-Demand program is created for YOU! In this program, you have direct on-demand access to me, allowing you to commit to this new understanding of your body. I provide instructional videos that talk you through the important cues. I support you every step of the way. Sound refreshing? Wish you had that continued support, even without an office visit? Email me to discuss the best options for YOU! "Take Your Musculoskeletal Health into Your Own Hands." 💗, Kristen

Those "Tricky" Hamstrings - Part 2

THE ROLE OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM This "epidemic" of recurring hamstring injuries is, in part, due to the under-valued role of the nervous system.  There is often too much focus on the structural "damage" and isolated limitations vs the overall dysfunction. I'm not saying that treating the damaged tissue is not important. But, in order to minimize recurrence, we must look beyond the isolated injury and seek to understand the integrated, "big picture" of the problem. IS IT ACTUAL DAMAGE OR SOMETHING ELSE? One interesting concept to understand is that the tension of our muscles are completely under the control of our nervous system.  Your brain is in constant awareness of the tension of all your muscles.  Unless you change your nervous system, you will continue to sense tightness.  As mentioned in Part 1, stretching isn't necessarily the answer to resolving tension. The relief felt by isolated muscle stretching only lasts for about 20 minutes.   ...

Those "Tricky" Hamstrings (Part 3)

So far, we have discussed the consequences of OVER STRETCHING and the role of the NERVOUS SYSTEM in treating and preventing hamstring injuries.  Now it's time to dive in to the ROTATIONAL component of our hamstrings.   We cannot treat the hamstring group in just one plane of motion.  Look at the diagram and notice that there are some hamstring muscles that attach to the inside (medial) side of the knee, and others that attach to the outside (lateral) side of the knee. When working together, the medial and lateral hamstrings will act in a coordinated manner to bend the knee and extend the hip.   Individually, the medial hamstrings turn the thigh inward (Internal Rotation or IR) and the lateral hamstrings turn the thigh outward (External Rotation or ER).  This means that the hamstrings are also a crucial player in side-to-side and rotational movements.  On the same lines, the hamstrings will act at the upper attachment at the pelvis.  The med...

SoftWave Therapy - The Latest Technology in Regenerative Medicine

There is a new "secret weapon" hitting the Medical and Performance industries - SoftWave Therapy. It is the latest technology in Regenerative Medicine and has been tested extensively in Europe for the past decade. Recently making it's way into the U.S., SoftWave is quickly taking hold.  We have been seeing exciting results with this device in our office over the past months, both immediate and long-term.  Read on for a summary of what makes SoftWave so unique and effective!  What is SoftWave?   Softwave Therapy essentially “tricks” the body into thinking a fresh trauma has occurred.   A series of pulses are applied to painful areas, which thin the cell membranes and alert the brain.   This kick-starts the natural healing process without actually causing trauma .   This response includes releasing RNA, attracting Stem Cells, increasing circulation, modulating inflammation, releasing growth factors involved in tissue regeneration, and formi...
