(No online sessions) 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 of 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
- Orthopedic Manual Therapist through the Institute of Orthopeadic Manual Therapy

You did everything they told you to do.

You went to PT.
You stretched.
You strengthened your core.
You rested when it flared up.

And a year later… you still can’t train the way you want to.

Our patients tell us that’s when it really starts to wear on them.

Because it’s not for lack of effort.

It’s because no one addressed why the back pain showed up in the first place.

Low back pain usually isn’t random.

It shows up when:

Your hips don’t move enough.
Your ribs don’t move enough.
Your weight lives on your toes instead of your heels.
Your back muscles are doing the job your core should be doing.

If those things aren’t addressed, the cycle keeps repeating.

Rest.
Relief.
Flare up.
Frustration.

It doesn’t take years to change your back.

But it does take the right focus.

Follow us for more tips on how to actually address your root cause and finally move the way your body was meant to.

02/21/2026

Stop searching YouTube for the next magic back exercise.

Our patients tell us they tried to piece it together themselves.

Saving videos.
Trying random mobility drills.
Hoping this one won’t make it worse.

I get it.

When your back has been hurting for months or years, it feels like you’re one exercise away from finally fixing it.

But chronic back pain doesn’t work like that.

It’s not about finding the right stretch.

It’s about learning how to move differently.

And that sounds overwhelming… until you actually feel it.

Because once your body learns a better strategy, you don’t have to constantly think about it.

It becomes automatic.

A few months of focused, intentional work can create changes that years of random exercises never will.

You’re not one move away.

You’re one better strategy away.

You’ve tried resting your back.

You’ve tried PT.

Chiro.

Maybe even medication.

And for a little while… it feels better.

Until it doesn’t.

Our patients are active adults.

They hike. They lift. They are active members of their families.

They don’t want to stop moving.

They just want their back to stop flaring up every time life ramps up.

Here’s what most people are never told:

Your back usually isn’t the problem.

It’s the body part working overtime.

And until you understand why it’s overworking, the cycle of rest → relief → flare up keeps repeating.

If you’re tired of temporary fixes and want real clarity on what’s actually driving your back pain,

We’re hosting a free in person back pain workshop at Premier Rehab and Training for active adults who haven’t found long term relief.

✨ Patient of the Week ✨

A long history of neck pain made workouts hard and parenting even harder.

Driving hurt.

Workout classes flared symptoms.

And it was frustrating not feeling fully present with their kids.

After working with Premier Rehab and Training, they’re lifting, running, and caring for their family without pain.

What changed wasn’t effort.

It was understanding why the neck pain kept showing up and what their body actually needed to move well again.

Stories like this are why we do what we do!

Are you a Maine hiker who’s already planning this season around your back?

Choosing the shorter loop.
Skipping bigger elevation days.
Telling yourself you’ll “build up slowly” this year.

Our hikers tell us it’s not just the pain that wears on them.

It’s the hesitation at the trailhead.
It’s scanning every step on the descent.
It’s quietly wondering if they’ll have to turn around a mile in and make that long walk back to the car.

You’ve tried PT.
You’ve done the stretches every morning.
Maybe you committed to a long plan with a chiropractor.

It helped… until the next flare up.

Because back pain on the trail usually isn’t just a back problem.

It’s your body compensating for something that hasn’t been addressed yet.
And until that changes, every hiking season feels like a gamble.

The goal isn’t to hike carefully forever.
It’s to hike through Maine’s trails without thinking about your back at all.
To enjoy the views, the conversation, the quiet, without second guessing every mile.

When the snow melts, hiking season will be here fast.

Taking action now means you hit your first long trail day feeling strong and confident instead of cautious and tense.

If you’re ready to understand why your back keeps flaring up on the trail, DM us "TRAIL" and let’s start the conversation.

You went to PT for your low back tightness.

They gave you stretches.
Core exercises.
Maybe a sheet to take home.

You did them.

And yet… every workout is followed by the same stiff, tight feeling the next morning.

Our patients tell us that’s when it gets discouraging.

Because it feels like you’re doing everything right.

Here’s the shift:

If your back tightness keeps coming back, it probably isn’t a “tight muscle” problem.

It’s a movement strategy problem.

If your pelvis and ribcage aren’t working together well after you train, your low back keeps picking up the slack.

So you can stretch it for 45 minutes…

But until you change why it’s overworking, it will keep tightening up.

Do you ever finish a run and think, “My knee just isn’t built for this anymore”?

Our runners tell us that’s the scariest part.

Not the soreness.

But the thought of cutting mileage.

Skipping summer 5Ks.

Letting go of that 10K goal you’ve had circled for months.

Especially after you already tried PT.

You did the clamshells.
The band walks.
The quad stretches.

And you’re still thinking about your knee every time your foot hits the ground.

Here’s the truth our runners discover:

It’s rarely about “weak knees.”

It’s about how the entire system works together when you load it.

At Premier Rehab and Training, we don’t tell you to stop running.

We help you understand why your knee is overloaded in the first place.

So you can train for races again…

Without calculating how much pain tomorrow’s run will cause.

Save this reel for before your next run.

🌲 If you’re a Maine hiker who’s already tried PT, chiropractic, or other treatments… and you’re still cutting hikes short, you’re not alone.

Most of the hikers we work with didn’t fail rehab.

They were never shown why their knee, back, or hip pain keeps flaring up halfway through a long trail.

Most care focuses on where it hurts.

We focus on why it breaks down at mile 6… or on the descent… or the morning after.

That root cause approach is how we help hikers get back to double digit miles, steep climbs, and long days on the trail without constantly planning around pain.

This page shows exactly how we do it.

Step by step.
With real Maine hikers.

👉 Follow along if you want to trust your body on the mountain again and stop letting pain decide how far you go.
