I have been working in the fitness and personal training profession for over 21 years. Before I opened Functional Fitness in 2008, I was a personal trainer working in a gym in San Francisco, California. During this time I began to develop back and shoulder pain. I tried many different methods including massage, chiropractors and physical therapists etc.
These seemed to help for a bit but my pain always came back. A colleague of mine introduced me to the Egoscue Method which is the world leader in non-medical pain relief. In January of 2008 I opened Functional Fitness, in Meredith, NH. The studio focuses on postural therapy to help clients become pain free and move without limitations. Over the past 13 years I have been fortunate to work with many different people of all ages and fitness levels to relieve chronic pain and move and feel better.
I believe the foundation to good health begins with having good posture and being free of chronic pain. Persistent pain and movement limitations mean that you enjoy your life less.

Postural Therapy is a whole body approach to relieve chronic pain.
When our body experiences pain it is communicating to us that there is a problem with our body's joint alignment and muscle-length tension relationship.
Pain is a signal which alerts the body that something is going on.
We fear pain and many times use drugs and modalities to mask it.
If we listen to our body and find out why the pain is coming on then we can put an end to the pain for good.
Pain in one particular part of the body (for example the knee) is often the result of that area compensating for a problem somewhere else.

This exercise is great for loosening up the hips!
It can improve rotation of your spine and your femurs It also can help open the diaphram to enable you to breathe better!.
The outside of one knee and the inside of the other knee will be reaching toward the floor.
Your feet will roll from outer edge to inner edge as you go back and forth, like a windshield wiper.
