Why I Named my Business "PROSPER"

Why "PROSPER"?

I was eating breakfast at McDonald's with a former patient & MLB pitcher when I nailed down the name of my future business. He and I were attending an out-of-town wedding together & it was the only place for a quick, warm breakfast that morning. 🤫

I was excited to tell him about my decision to start my own practice - he had worked with me for quite a while after a surgery and we had gotten to know each other a bit as human beings over that time.

I had several business names I had been thinking of & asked his opinion over coffee that morning. I rattled a few off... but when I got to "PROSPER", he stopped me and said, "That's it! That is what you are really giving people... you do so much more than PT."

He got me. He got the verse I was pulling from. I strive to help the WHOLE person - physically, spiritually, mentally. He knew, because he went through the same journey many of my future clients would.

"PROSPER" is such an all-encompassing word.
It's not just about achieving financial success. To me, it means to live life to your fullest potential... to "thrive" and "flourish". THAT is want I want for everyone who sees me, in the office or virtually. It goes far beyond just living pain free.

One day a random stranger commented on my shirt. "What a great name for a business! That's exactly what you help people to do!" He got it, too. 💗

So, there you have it. The story of how "PROSPER" came to be!

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope & a future." - Jer 29:11

My goal is to help you live out that promise.

💗, Kristen

Therapists Need Advice, Too!

PT WITH NAGGING HIP PAIN I received a message from a physical therapist colleague & active mom asking for advice. She had been dealing with some hip pain that seemed to have started when she started increasing her strength training regime. My "R hip, feels like "impingement," but also trigger points in piriformis and adductors. I just can't get them to shut off!" Spoken like a true PT 😅 I gave her pictures of 2 new exercises to try via messenger. 5 DAYS LATER, I receive this: "Messaging to tell you you're my hero. That seated stretch is AH-mazing.

How are Airway and Posture Related?

HOW ARE AIRWAY & POSTURE RELATED? When we think of "airway, we think of life-and-death situations and sleep apnea. But, there is so much more to our ability to pull air into our lungs freely and evenly and to expel carbon dioxide. Our alignment and muscle tone play a pivotal role in our ability to maintain a symmetrical, un-restricted airflow. You see, the respiratory system is a bo dy-wide, interconnected and closed system. There are often clues our body is giving us that there is a restriction somewhere to free, full airflow. Often times, the restrictions are located quite a distance from our nose and mouth! Key Points First of all, it is not common knowledge, but we actually have 4 diaphragms (some even say 5) that all influence each other. They act as one closed, pressurized system. If there is an issue with the function of one of the diaphragms, it will influence the others. Another key concept is that our main diaphra...

My Challenge = Your Gain

As many of you know, I've been utilizing the concepts of Postural Restoration®️ (PRI®️) for a real long time now. I took my first class in 2007 and was one of the first 47 certified in the world by the end of 2009. Since the first time I heard the explanation of common asymmetrical patterns due to our underlying asymmetrical anatomical influences (diaphragm, liver, lungs, etc), I felt justified. I had been seeing these patterns for years, but didn't fully grasp why. I knew I wanted to learn a better way of treating my patients, but this was SO DIFFERENT. Controversial, in fact. One of my first thoughts was "man, all the people I struggled to help that I could have helped." I doubted what I was taught in school. I realized that accepting these concepts meant accepting that I may not have given my past patients what they really needed. I could have turned my head from it - The challenge. The uncertainty. The starting all over again. Instead, I dove all ...
