Shift Fitness and Massage

People often ask, “Why Shift Fitness & Massage?”

Twenty-five years ago, I was living with chronic back and neck pain, tingling in my fingers, knee arthritis, and feeling like I was running out of options.

Then I made one important change: I shifted my mindset from hopeless to hopeful.

That shift eventually became my business.

Today, I use the Shift 3D Method™ + MOTI Physio 3D Imaging to help people understand how their body is compensating, improve movement patterns, and keep doing what they love.

Don’t automatically write off pain and stiffness as aging, old injuries, or “just life.”

Sometimes your body simply needs a new strategy.

I got my MOTI Physio 3D Imaging w software on May 1. The image on the left is May 5 which was my male clients week 6 Shift Your Posture Transformation Program. As a Posture and Movement Specialist, we worked on his goals which was better balance, improved movement, less back pain in a active lifting job. My goal the 1st month was get him out of pain, strengthen the deep inner core muscles so by week 4 we progressed to primarily exercise off the massage table. While weight loss was not the primary goal for either of us, moving better, feeling better was. Twice a week we did interval training with body weight primarily. My Shift Your Posture Transformation Programs focus on alignment, balance, core control(deep muscles supporting the spine), stretching and strengthening the right muscles at the right time. June 25 was 7 weeks later. While I have been using posture software and AI for analysis since 2020. I have to admit I am impressed with the accuracy and love the comparison feature. My client has been feeling better and wearing smaller sizes shirts but this was another way to show how much he improved. His imbalance scores improved from score of 65 to 53 in only 7 weeks. Results are different for everyone. Want to know how your body stacks up also showing muscle imbalances? DM or text me at 612-991-1401 or set up an appointment at www.shiftne.com

🧠 Tech Neck Isn’t Just a Pain in the Neck...
It’s a posture problem that can affect:
✔️ Headaches from nerve compression
✔️ Neck and shoulder tension
✔️ Breathing and balance issues

Most of us look down at our phones over 3–4 hours a day 😳 That’s like carrying a 27 lb. bowling ball on your neck for hours!

Shift 3D Daily Habit Tip:
📱 Hold your phone up to eye level to reduce pressure on your spine and avoid forward head posture.

Your posture is a window into your health — let’s realign it.

🏒 From Full Adductor Tear to 36 Holes of Golf — Pain-Free(ish) ⛳
A few months ago, I started working with a hockey player who came in with a full adductor muscle tear — pain, frustrated, and uncertain if he’d return to the ice… or even sit in a restaurant chair without pain. Even both feet showed signs of discoloration from back issues.
Fast forward to today?
He's teed off for two full rounds of competitive golf this weekend. Still healing. Still rebuilding. But he's back in the game — no longer sidelined by pain.
That’s the power of the Shift 3D Method™.
🌀 We didn’t just treat the site of pain —
We addressed his entire movement system:
💨 Directed Breathwork to calm the nervous system and reestablish core function
🧠 Dynamic Brain-to-Muscle Retraining to restore stability and mobility
🔁 Daily Habit Re-education to make pain-free posture and movement second nature
And it’s not just hockey players I work with. I’ve helped football players, runners, weekend warriors, and everyday people who’ve been told to “just rest” or “live with it" or "it's part of aging".
🙋‍♀️ If pain is keeping you from doing what you love — whether it's playing a sport, chasing your kids, or just sleeping through the night — there’s a way forward.
Your healing journey can start now.
And I’d be honored to help guide it.
