"I have to tell you, I have gone to physical therapy before and I have never felt that powerful before and so quickly! They never talked to me about breathing. That simple. Amazing. Thank you!"

I am not your conventional physical therapist. After two traumatic brain injuries, two hernias, and a sprained neck as the worst of my orthopedic injuries, I repeatedly find myself feeling lucky to have a passion for movement. Each one of my injuries left my body feeling disorganized. Why I feel so lucky is because piecing my body back together to move effortlessly is my favorite puzzle. It's what lead me to study and practice physical therapy. My goal was to learn how to use movement as medicine to help people get out of pain and organize their body to move without stress. While I am orthopedically trained with a focus in post surgical spinal rehabilitation, my post graduate studies are from the Postural Restoration Institute (PRI). PRI taught me that in order for the body to properly function and move with ease, the brain has to be able to integrate four specific senses. This includes sight, sound, pressure from breathing (interoception), and sensation from the feet to identify what's beneath us. When these systems flow in harmony, the brain has enough information to coordinate the muscular system to properly drive the skeleton without pain.

 

Poor posture is not bad simply because it’s not stacked or symmetrical. Poor posture is bad because of the time spent in one posture, leaning to one side for example, gives one eye, one ear, one diaphragm, and one foot more use and input to the brain when compared to the other side. Time spent in poor postures creates a pattern in your body and a program in your brain (this is what causes muscles to become tight and/or weak). The brain relies on these patterns both for daily use and when under stress so that it doesn’t have to work any harder than it has to. The problem with prolonged patterns is that tissues (muscle, tendon, bone, nerve, etc.) can experience too much compression or tension that signals discomfort/pain to the brain. The pain signal disrupts the brain from processing all its other senses and has a more difficult time coordinating each part of the body to move effortlessly through the environment.

 

When looking for the root cause of someone's pain it helps to understand your history with movement, what your job and hobbies require from your body, and what you would like your body to be able to do. To best help you, our evaluation will look at your breathing mechanics in how well your two diaphragms work together to inflate your body. We will assess the quality of motion in your hips, shoulders, and neck. Other problematic areas will also be assessed as needed. This will provide us with information as to what pattern your brain likes to keep your muscles in and I can further explain why you have the pain you are experiencing. From there I will be able to design a program that is specific to your patterns, the level of control you have over your body, and your goals. Each session we will retest to ensure accurate treatment and progress you to moving pain free as fast as possible. Emphasis will be placed on techniques that reposition the body to connect with itself through diaphragmatic breathing. This way the body can properly support you during standing, walking, and any other movement you may have limitations in.
