are the #2 reason individuals seek out physicians.
 

What Doctors and Physical Therapists Don’t Tell You…

We need to address the causes of our problems, not the symptoms.

We live in a quick-fix world and the initial thought is too often, "Give me pill. Make it go away!"  But medication only addresses your symptoms, short-term, and most physical therapists aren’t trained to see the whole picture:  nutritional, mental, and environmental factors. They do not address the cause of our pain. Many people wonder why their pain returns, or never really resolves. It is because they have not invested in a qualified professional to study their specific situation.   Its not that healthcare professionals are keeping “a big secret” from you, it’s that they simply are not trained to effectively address your core problems and implement a safe and effective plan of action that gets you closer to your ultimate goal – living pain free!

The Top 3 Reasons Why You’re Still In Pain -- And How To Feel Better!

1.  Muscle Imbalances – Have you ever heard the saying, “You are only as strong as your weakest link”?  Well, that’s a good point to remember when identifying the cause of our pain.  Although pain may be felt in one specific area -- our lower back for example -- the actual cause of the problem is seldom in the lower back alone.  To maximize our ability to perform and recover, we must first identify the true root of our physical imbalance and then work toward total body alignment and symmetry.

Action Plan – As both a Performance Enhancement Specialist (PES) and a Corrective Exercise Specialist (CES), I utilize advanced techniques to optimally align your body.  This promotes greater ease and range of motion and significantly faster recovery time.  This is your 1^st step toward living pain free.

2.  Metabolic Imbalances – I have trained literally hundreds of athletes and pain sufferers and most of them, along with physical misalignment, are eating their way into their injuries. If our body chemistry if out of balance so is our ability to recover.  Many foods or more specifically food additives (dyes and harmful pesticides) get in the way of our body’s amazing healing abilities.  For example, did you know that elevated levels of Omega-6 fatty acids relative to your Omega-3 levels can lead to chronic inflammation?  Most people don’t.  That’s why it is imperative to invest in the help and guidance of a qualified professional – one who specializes in both corrective exercise and holistic nutrition.      

Action Plan – As a Registered Holistic Nutritionist (RHN) specializing in the science of Metabolic Typing, I can identify ways to make your diet work for you instead of against you.  I make sure you are eating the right foods and taking the right supplements so you can maximize your recovery.  If weight is an issue, we will address that as well.  The benefits of a metabolically appropriate nutrition plan are invaluable to your goals.  

3.  Limiting Thoughts – Meditation and one’s state of mind, once thought to have little effect on rehabilitation, has been shown to have a profound effect on our ability to recover.  Mental stress can have as much to do with pain and inability to recover as does physical stress.  Meditation, spirituality, or mental fitness can be thought of as nothing more than - learning how to channel or thoughts.

Action Plan – Having studied with some of the best and most respected holistic healers in Northeast and by practicing what I teach in the areas of mental and spiritual development, I share with you the last piece of the pain free equation:  Living stress free and possessing the ability to channel our positive thoughts and energy will allow us to better reach a pain free life, and achieve mental, physical and spiritual freedom.

How Do I Get Started?

Have you tried other methods of recovery, yet still find yourself in pain?
