Happy ! Meet Christine! 💪

Christine came to an originally with low back and knee pain due to an old injury. Her goal was simple, get active again and stay heathy!

After working together to make a plan centered around her goals we got after it. She was persistent and trusted the process!

Now she does 5+ exercise classes a week pain free and is feeling better than ever! Thanks Christine for all your hard work and for choosing us to help you get moving again!

Special shoutout to Kaila Walker (soon to be Kaila Bass)!!
She’s getting married TOMORROW! 💍

Kaila started with Deemah just over a year ago with chronic low back pain and had never worked out before. Since then, she’s been incredibly consistent, coming twice a week, getting stronger and stronger, and her low back pain has completely subsided.

One of her biggest goals was to feel strong and confident for her wedding, and after her final dress fitting this week… it fits perfectly. 👏

Now working out is just part of her routine, and she can’t imagine life without it. We are so proud of you, Kaila, and so excited for your big day!

- The Active Team

If you have a big event coming up and want to get fit with Deemah, call 804.378.6035 or head to bit.ly/activeappointment!

How I paced Shamrock Marathon. 20 miles of hope. 6 miles of reality.

Quick recap… it didn’t feel great early. The old me would’ve forced the pace I thought I should run. This time I didn’t.

I stayed patient… and it gave me a race later.

Here’s how I approached it:

Miles 0–9: behave.
Keep effort low. For me that meant HR under ~156. It should feel too easy. If you’re not getting passed, you’re probably too fast.

Miles 9–18: stay controlled (into the headwind).
This is where races fall apart. Don’t chase pace. I let HR drift slightly, but capped it around ~158
Miles 18–23: start to press (if you can).
Effort comes up naturally. HR could touch ~162, but nothing higher. Focus on form.

Last 5K: empty the tank.
Sometimes it’s magic. Sometimes it’s survival. That’s the deal.

The biggest mistake I see?
People run the first part based on how they feel…and the last part based on how they hope.
Flip that.

Be patient early so you have a race later.

Great seeing so many friends and patients out there - that’s what makes these days special.

If you know Sam, you know she’s one of the best of the best. 👏

She originally got certified in lymphatic drainage massage to help her mom through breast cancer treatment, and now it’s something she uses to help so many of our patients. Lymphatic drainage can be especially helpful for people dealing with swelling, autoimmune conditions, migraines, pregnancy, varicose veins, post-surgery recovery, or anyone feeling inflamed or puffy.

It’s a gentle treatment, but it can make a big difference in how your body feels and recovers.

✨ Don't forget! You can book a 60- or 90-minute massage and receive a FREE Active 101: Move Better Mobility Session with Kimi ($175 value). Massage helps you feel better. Active 101 helps you move better. Together, it’s the perfect reset heading into spring!

Offer ends March 31. Book here: bit.ly/activeappointment
