https://go.premierrt.com/facebook-root-cause-assessment I remember the frustration even at a young age of being sidelined from doing what I loved. My Mom also had Post Polio Syndrome, so I got to witness first hand the impact o

f poor health management on an entire family when outcomes and education are not optimal for the client. I realized my Mom had to try and figure out how to maintain her fitness on her own, as well as juggling the fear of possibly injuring her susceptible joints. While she has found ways to keep kayaking, biking, and walking to keep healthy, she could've done it with much less fear if she had a guide. Right out of High School I knew I wanted to be a Physical Therapist, but I've always had a love for the weight room and the spirit for increasing performance without the nagging injuries that prevent you from being consistent with your workouts. I completed my Doctoral Degree in Physical Therapy at Husson University. I then moved to Greenfield, MA where I had the opportunity to complete a 1 year residency in Physical Therapy Orthopedics at Baystate Franklin Medical Center and Springfield College. After that we moved to Boston and attended a 2 year fellowship in complex spine conditions at the Institute of Orthopeadic Manual Therapy in Woburn, MA with a focus on patient communication and hands on treatments. I also received my certificate as a strength and conditioning specialist while in Boston. I had to opportunity to work the MIT men's basketball team, local Gaelic football teams, athletes from surrounding colleges in Boston, and members of the Celtics dance team. Maybe you're working out for yourself, or maybe you're doing it for your family, but I am so excited and proud to be a part of your health and wellness journey! Credentials:
- Doctor of Physical Therapy
- Board Certified Orthopedic Specialist through the APTA
- CSCS through the NSCA

Stop squeezing your shoulder blades back to stand up straight.

If you’ve watched your parents slowly lose their independence as they’ve gotten older...

You might already be wondering: “Is that where I’m headed too?”

Maybe your back pain already makes it harder to get on the floor with your kids.

Maybe bath time is becoming something your partner handles because bending over the tub hurts too much.

And you keep telling yourself you’re still doing okay.

But three months from now, do you want to be saying “I can’t” even more often?

That fear matters.

Because losing independence usually doesn’t happen all at once.

It can start with the little things you slowly stop doing.

At Premier Rehab and Training, we want to help you understand what your body needs so you can keep moving, stay involved with your family, and hold onto your independence as you age.

Save this video so the next time you catch yourself squeezing your shoulder blades back to “fix” your posture, you have something else to try.

You've done the PT. The chiro. The stretching. The massage.

And for a while, it helps...

Until you're back to babying your back again.

Scaling back your hikes. Skipping the deadlift. Bracing every time you bend down, just in case.

Here's what we covered in last night's workshop:

â–Ş Temporary relief and lasting change are not the same thing.
▪ If your hips and ribs don't move the way they should, your back picks up the slack — every single time, no matter how many times you get adjusted or stretched out.
â–Ş Real change means training your body to move differently, not just treating the pain when it shows up.

Does your back or hip start talking to you at the same mile every hike?

Maybe mile 3 feels fine.

Then mile 5 hits...

And suddenly you’re thinking about your back more than the trail in front of you.

Our patients tell us they’ve already tried PT.

They’ve stretched.

They’ve worked on their core.

Sometimes they even feel better for a while.

Then they get back on the trail, put a few miles on their body, and the same pain starts creeping back in.

That’s where the frustration really sets in.

Because hiking is more than exercise.

It’s where you clear your head.

It’s where you spend time with your family.

It’s where you feel like yourself.

At Premier Rehab and Training, we look at how your whole body works together over thousands of steps.

Then we build the mobility, strength, and capacity your body needs to keep those changes when the miles start adding up.

Follow us if you want to keep hiking farther without wondering which mile your back or hip is going to make you turn around.

Does your back pain keep coming right back when you try to get back to actually living your life?

Our patients tell us they’ve already done PT.

They got the exercises.

They tried a chiropractor.

They felt better for a little while.

Then they went back to lifting, hiking, playing with their kids, or pushing themselves in the gym...

And the back pain showed up again.

That gets exhausting.

Especially when you start saying things like: “I cut the time short when my kids ask to play outside and kick a soccer ball. I have to sit down otherwise the next day I'll pay for it.”

At Premier Rehab and Training, feeling better is only part of the process.

We want your body to be able to KEEP those changes when you lift heavier, hike farther, and play harder.

That means figuring out why the problem keeps coming back, then building the strength and capacity your body needs for real life.

Ready for long term meaningful change?

Follow us to learn how to make those changes actually stick, so you can get back to doing what you love the way you want.

After more than a year of constant back pain, this patient had largely stopped running.

She'd tried chiropractic care, PT, and extensive medical testing, but still didn't have answers.

Eventually, the uncertainty became just as limiting as the pain.

She didn't trust what would happen if she ran.

Fast forward just 2 months into working with us...

She completed a race with about an hour of running and walking, without hip or calf symptoms.

And her description of the race said it all: “I felt strong.”

Getting back to an activity is one thing.

Trusting your body while you're doing it is an even bigger win.

Rest can be great for calming down a flare-up.

But if every time you get back to hiking, lifting, gardening, or the things you actually enjoy the pain comes right back...

Something is missing.

Feeling better and actually fixing why the problem keeps happening are two different things.

At some point, the question has to change from:

“How do I get this to calm down?”

to:

“Why does this keep happening?”

Follow us if you're tired of managing the same problem over and over.

Most pickleball players have a warm-up routine.

A few stretches.
Maybe a walk around the court.
A couple practice swings.

And yet...

By the second game, they are already tightening up again.

The problem isn't always that you didn't warm up.

It's that your warm-up isn't addressing why you keep getting tight in the first place.

That's why the goal isn't just to loosen up before you play.

It's to help your body move the way it's supposed to.

The three activities in this video are a few of the warm-ups we use with active adults who want to spend more time enjoying pickleball.

If you're tired of playing cautiously because of pain,

Follow us for more tips on staying active without constantly worrying about your next flare-up.

Working out consistently but still dealing with back pain?

Doing more core exercises isn’t always the answer.

If your body can’t get into the right positions when you lift, run, or move, your back may keep compensating...

No matter how strong your core gets.

That’s exactly what we’ll help you start figuring out at our FREE Back Pain Workshop this Thursday, September 3rd at 6 PM in downtown Bangor.

We’ll take you through 3 simple movement tests to help you understand what may be contributing to your back pain and what you actually need to work on next.

Only 15 spots available.

If stretching, massage, cracking your neck, or using a massage gun helps… but the tightness always comes back, it may be time to ask a different question.

Instead of: “How do I loosen up my neck?”

Try asking: “Why does my neck keep getting so tight in the first place?”

Sometimes your neck is working overtime to compensate for something else your body isn’t doing well.

The exercise in this reel is one way we help active adults find a better position so their neck doesn’t have to work so hard.

Follow us to learn how to keep working out without your neck constantly getting in the way.

Most plantar fasciitis rehab focuses on the area that hurts.

We find and focus on the WHY you have knee pain in the first place.

Often times, it's not because of a foot problem.

These are 5 exercises we use in the clinic to help restore movement, reduce compensation, and get to the root cause.

Because temporary relief isn’t the goal. Long-term confidence is.

DM us the word "FOOT” if you’re tired of the same cycle of pain.
