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

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...

We Are ALL Asymmetrical - Why it Matters

  Have you noticed a harder time with your front splits on one side? Or maybe it’s always been a struggle for you to get your turn-out on one side? No matter how much you stretch and strengthen, you will not achieve symmetry without compensation (which leads to injury).   Here’s why … Our bodies are NOT symmetrical! Take a look at these images of different systems in our bodies.   Notice how NONE of them are exactly the same on the left as the right.

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...
