How Norma went from hobbling around in pain to walking with speed & confidence👇

Norma came to me with a big limp, she really leaned over to one side. And her knee & glute were causing a lot of pain. She also complained of a snapping knee & piriformis issues.

She was concerned that she would never be confident enough to walk longer distances again.

Norma previously spent a lot of time doing repetitive work in a very asymmetrical position - this seemed to play into her current posture & walking pattern significantly. I helped her unravel from that with a targeted exercise plan.

She was working with me online, I’ve never met her in person. Norma showed up consistently to do her assigned exercises in the coaching app. And she got amazing results.

Walking faster, with better posture & new confidence. And much less pain. When her family came to visit they noticed a huge difference!

If this sounds like you & you’re ready to stop limping in pain and start walking with freedom & confidence, DM me LET’S GO to get started. Or send it to someone who needs this!

Break the cycle of foot pain (the easy way) 👇

You buy new supportive hiking shoes, do your calf stretches, roll your foot out, everything seems to be calming down…

BAMM… The next hike you go on, you start feeing that foot pain creep back, and your opposite hip always seems to hurt too.

You think ‘thats another $200 wasted on shoes’ and give up... 
Again. 😢 

What if instead of buying another pair of supportive shoes, and instead of doing the cookie cutter exercises you got from your PT..

You start training your feet to support you properly?

And instead of doing basic exercises you really learn how your feet & body cooperate with each other to help you feel more relaxed and at ease on your hikes?

That way, we can stop aches & pains from keeping you on the couch instead of out enjoying adventures.

Sounds simple right? That’s because it is.

The hard part though, is figuring out what specific exercises YOUR body needs the most.

I used to deal with foot & hip pain on long hikes.

Fast forward to now, I’ve managed to overcome it and feel better hiking now at 53 than I did in when I was in my 40s, using a few simple techniques.

If you want to learn those techniques, DM me HELP & I’ll send you 3 things you can do RIGHT NOW to get started.

Are you an empty nester that wants to enjoy more adventure now that you’ve raised your kids, but your aches & pains stop you in your tracks?

If this sounds like you, or if you just want to explore a roadmap together, no strings attached, then feel free to book a call with me.

Even if you don’t end up working with me, I want to get you on headed in the right direction. You’ll come away with specific steps to get you where you want to go, and an invitation to work with me if it’s a good fit.

DM me I’M IN to get booked in for the call

So glad we fit in a road trip to our happy place in the Adirondacks as summer winds down.

Inlet has lots of short rewarding mountain hikes nearby: Rocky, Black Bear, Bald & Castle Rock. ⛰️

Finally inflated my paddle board for the first time this summer! Nothing beats the combo of mountains & lakes.

What are you doing to make the most of summer before it slips away?!

Your journey out of pain should involve a lot of movement exploration & connecting the dots - not a set of exercises that leave you feeling stuck at square one.

Your body tells a story about what you need to unravel from old injuries & habits.

Let’s figure out what it’s asking for.

This is me…

If you want LESS spot treating with cookie cutter exercises & more exploring where your pain is coming from

If you’ve always wanted help figuring out the details of what your body needs to feel light & free

This is what I do & how I can help you

I’ve been a physical therapist for 31 years but the traditional system & PT approach did not work for me so I left insurance based care 7 years ago

I’ve seen this biomechanics based approach get results I could never get with traditional physical therapy so don’t give up if you haven’t tried it yet

What do you want to know?
