Corrective exercises

We all know we need to exercise. I’m not here to tell you to “get to the gym”. I will challenge you though to assess how much you actually move during the day. Unfortunately, one hour at the gym doesn’t make up for 8 hours of sitting at your desk. Lack of movement during the day is often what leads to muscle and joint aches and pains, decreases mobility, flexibility, and other ailments. Or you may have an injury or recovering from surgery that requires specific rehabilitation interventions to get you back to your baseline. Learn corrective exercises, that address your imbalances, and fit into your schedule, to improve your physical foundation, function, blood flow, alignment, mobility, flexibility and strength. Perfect to receive over a Telehealth session.

Often, women have multiple symptoms correlated to pelvic issues such as pain in the low back, groin, hip, coccyx (tailbone), sacroiliac (SI) joint and abdomen.  Pelvic health includes care for women across the lifespan from pre-teens to post-menopausal, including post surgical care. Pelvic rehabilitation therapy is also a great benefit during prenatal, pregnancy and post-partum care. Many aspects can be addressed remotely via phone or TeleHealth consults such as diet and other lifestyle modifications, depending on your presentation.
