Align Physical Therapy and Wellness

😌This may be the easiest technique to implement “on the go”….. all you need is something to grab onto…

❓What is happening here?

Placing your giant latissimus dorsi muscle on stretch so you can allow it to LET GO…

💨To restore expansion of air into the side of your body, usually needed on the right....

Inhale and exhale for at least 4 breaths here… or until you feel a release in the tension followed by sense of expansion in your side…

If you don’t feel anything, try dropping your left shoulder down so the left trunk is more “crunched” together … any different?

Hamstring strains and ankle sprains…

If these sound too familiar to you or your youth athlete, I am here to share PRI with you…

When the HIPS do not have the freedom they need to generate athletic power, the required motion and force is going to come from somewhere else…

So it’s quite easy to ask the hamstring to do more than its capable of or the ankle to torque for you.

⚽️I’ve got a middle school soccer player of my own and at this age, there is quick growth…. The neuromuscular habits may not have caught up…

🦵🏻Get screened AHEAD of time and I can help you find a neutral PELVIS alignment so your lower chain muscles have more freedom, and are ready to propel you forward!

🌙Evening appointments will be available beginning Monday May 11th, please message me directly to schedule an evening option. Otherwise, booking link in bio! 🙏

🏋️‍♂️You might be sitting at a desk all day, you might be lifting heavy weights or you might even be a competitive athlete…

In any case, if you’re not returning yourself to a neutral pelvis and ribcage position, you’re maintaining muscle imbalances….

Often overdeveloped pectoral (chest) and latissimus (back) muscles….

❌This technique is often one I initially teach to SHUT DOWN these overactive muscle groups and bring harmony back to diaphragm mechanics.

🫀Poor diaphragm mechanics = poor vagal nerve stimulation

➡️➡️➡️dysregulation in all the systems it impacts…

Vocal cord function
Heart rate variability
Gut motility
Respiratory rate
Elimination
Immune resilience
Limbic system/mood

…. And on it goes.

❓Have you considered your diaphragm mechanics before? PRI providers are here for you, to see if your current alignment allows for proper diaphragm position!!

💭If systemic health is on your mind, I believe it’s worth the awareness!

⁉️Why wait? I initiated this monthly special last May specifically for Mothers but today I am urged to offer to all… so March it is 🍀

🤲If you haven’t experienced hands-on fascial release, here is your opportunity to unwind and uncover new freedom within your body through gentle yet powerful touch.

🏡Home visits can be arranged for expecting mothers or those who can’t get away from the house…. Please message me directly to discuss.

🙋‍♀️If you are a new client, please book as “initial evaluation” but note your request for myofascial release.

👉Booking link in IG bio. I look forward to sharing this healing modality with you! 🦋

🪷When the energy surrounding old belief patterns is uprooted, emotions are processed, new beliefs are created and the body is expanded….

🌳 Amy and I sure felt this expansion after holding space for 10 courageous souls at our Rooted and Rising Breathwork event last night.

🙌To our participants, thank you for showing up for yourselves… when one heals, we all heal. We can create more peace in this world by uncovering it within ourselves 🕊️

🎉Celebrating 5 years!!!

What an honor to be able to develop and provide my unique skills to this community and now reflect back…

🪽It was 5 yrs ago after my dad passed that I was immediately embodied by his entrepreneurial spirit and opened Align Physical Therapy & Wellness…

🚀It was a force beyond my control and I allowed it take flight within me… truly a surrender to the flow!

☯️In these last 5 years, I’ve been able to add pieces to my healing offerings that I knew influenced our ability to “align”…

…attending to the emotional and energetic states of our being that alter our nervous system balance and our ability to regain peace 🦋

That’s the take home message…

❓Can you find your “center”?
❓Can you “align” to your core? ❓Can you regain your peace while constantly being disturbed, swayed, influenced, distracted and overwhelmed?

🕊️This is where I’ve been working in these last 5 years… finding my own way back to my center, my truth, my inner peace.

🌳 My true nature and essence is re-emerging…. Which will come with many new offerings ahead… your invitation to reconnect is open!

🙌 1st timer on the reformer here!

So much fun exploring my body’s movement in a graceful way today… my interpretation of graceful that is 😆

Thank you Andrea of for your meaningful, attentive and holistic instruction today… adjusting tension exactly when I needed it!

😳It sure was fascinating to feel the dominant patterns of my body as I know them through PRI in these movements….

And how interesting (but not surprising) that you observed my body shift into them on INHALE 🫁

👉For example, here in plank, my left pelvis dropped down on inhale…surely related to the body’s inherent difficulty maintaining left abdominal and right gluteal activation (common with the left AIC pattern)

Feeling elongated and more expanded in my ribcage now… this brings me more peace and presence within 🪷

🩷The Pink Panther… the nickname my client has given this technique…

As I told her, it’s not one I usually offer in a program due to the integration of many pieces, but she was determined… with less thinking and more feeling, I believe she found new rhythm emerging 🎶

👊During the inhales, you may see the abs or side body “crunching” as the arm reaches forward…

💨This guides air into the back of the body on that same side… opening the ribcage and lessening demand on neck muscles for breathing.

And of course I had to demo given my attire for the day 🩷

🌳Our workshops are evolving!

From breathwork, visualization, and somatic movement

To expressive arts, release ritual (think cutting the ties✂️ ) and sound healing,

🪾This Rooted and Rising event will guide you through a variety of new opportunities for your nervous system to experience…

And sometimes that’s all the nervous system needs to make the switch from fight/flight to safe and relaxed….

A “new” experience to return back to baseline homeostasis and peace.

🕊️ If you experienced the Walk for Peace, you may have just felt it. So many of us wanting to return to it.

Our space allows 10 comfortably. We would love to be your guides there 🙏

Letting in the light… with Reiki… the energy of unconditional love 🌈

The timing of this new modality entering my life fascinates me… it’s always been on my mind but it comes to me now that I’ve created space…

Welcoming in this new year with connection, presence and love 💗
