I am going to be out of the office soon for some family vacation time.

If you are hoping to see me before I go, make sure to book your appointment now.

If you cannot find an appointment please join the waitlist so I can reach out if something opens up.

I intend to completely unplug & will not be reachable during this time.

I know it seems almost too "simple" to start with breathwork when you have pelvic dysfunction, but believe me when I say, most people with pelvic dys are not breathing "correctly."

Yes friends, you CAN breathe wrong.
Let me explain...

Women notoriously "suck it in." We want our belly to look "snatched" or we've been told at some point we need to train our core to be "tight" so we are attractive. When you do that, engage your abdominals 24/7, you are not allowing the pelvic diaphragm to work synergistically with the respiratory diaphragm. There's a doming action that happens in the upper AND lower respiratory system with every single breath. Not because you're trying, but because that's how it's supposed to function.

When the belly sucks in on the inhale instead of expanding, AKA **Reverse Breathe (see below), then you CUT OFF the connection between the upper & lower diaphragm and this creates a downward pressure into the pelvic floor which then causes hypertonic muscles = dysfunction = a slew of uncomfortable conditions like:

Hip Pain - Back Pain - Urge/Urinary Incontinence - feelings that mimic a UTI - Prolapse - The need for C-section - Hypertonic Pelvic Floor - Painful in*******se - external burning and itching - the list goes on...

So yes, we begin with breathwork because we NEED to re-create & re-educate that connection. And I get it, it's hard to sit still for 5-10 minutes and think about breathing. But like anything, it's a practice. And you'll come to enjoy it or at least, appreciate it's benefits. I

**Reverse breathing = instead of the belly & PF filling with breath on an inhale, you draw the belly in and the ribs are the only thing to expand.

After a reduced summer schedule, this September I am back to 4 days a week. ✨

I’ll be treating a mix of 2 mornings + 2 evenings most weeks, with some variation — giving a little more flexibility for both existing patients and anyone who’s been wanting to book in for the first time.

My practice is exclusively RAPID NeuroFascial Reset, with a focus on pain and nervous system function. This is clothes on, active participation, focused treatment. To get you feeling yourself, and back to living life.

Acute pain. Chronic pain. Complex or persistent pain. Nervous system dysregulation.

From a brand-new injury or sudden flare-up to something that’s been hanging around for years — especially the weird, complicated stuff that doesn’t seem to have a straightforward answer.

If that sounds like your body lately, September availability is now open.

Sept 17 @ 10:20am

Imaging doesnt show pain.
bone on bone is not a death sentence.
arthritis
sciatica
carpal tunnel
blah blah blah the list is endless.

all are just a sign your body is telling you something needs to change. listen to it.

Wouldn’t it be CRAZY…😮‍💨

“Bone on bone and pain free? That’s impossible though”…
I’ve heard this hundreds of times for people with knee and hip pain. Hundreds and hundreds of times. But it didn’t stop people from feeling better! 🙌
-
Once we put the label to the side and got to work, moving through rotations, nerve mobilizations, muscle activations, things would get better and suddenly the need for surgery goes away! 🥳
-
Now I’m not saying surgery is unnecessary. Many people actually DO need it.
-
However, before going under the knife you want to make sure that that’s what you truly need! Otherwise, once the surgery is done, the pain remains and then drs don’t have any answers for you (which happens more often than you think)
-
Drop the label, do the work, and see just how much you can improve!
