🧠 Tech Neck Isn’t Just a Pain in the Neck...
It’s a posture problem that can affect:
✔️ Headaches from nerve compression
✔️ Neck and shoulder tension
✔️ Breathing and balance issues

Most of us look down at our phones over 3–4 hours a day 😳 That’s like carrying a 27 lb. bowling ball on your neck for hours!

Shift 3D Daily Habit Tip:
📱 Hold your phone up to eye level to reduce pressure on your spine and avoid forward head posture.

Your posture is a window into your health — let’s realign it.

🏒 From Full Adductor Tear to 36 Holes of Golf — Pain-Free(ish) ⛳
A few months ago, I started working with a hockey player who came in with a full adductor muscle tear — pain, frustrated, and uncertain if he’d return to the ice… or even sit in a restaurant chair without pain. Even both feet showed signs of discoloration from back issues.
Fast forward to today?
He's teed off for two full rounds of competitive golf this weekend. Still healing. Still rebuilding. But he's back in the game — no longer sidelined by pain.
That’s the power of the Shift 3D Method™.
🌀 We didn’t just treat the site of pain —
We addressed his entire movement system:
💨 Directed Breathwork to calm the nervous system and reestablish core function
🧠 Dynamic Brain-to-Muscle Retraining to restore stability and mobility
🔁 Daily Habit Re-education to make pain-free posture and movement second nature
And it’s not just hockey players I work with. I’ve helped football players, runners, weekend warriors, and everyday people who’ve been told to “just rest” or “live with it" or "it's part of aging".
🙋‍♀️ If pain is keeping you from doing what you love — whether it's playing a sport, chasing your kids, or just sleeping through the night — there’s a way forward.
Your healing journey can start now.
And I’d be honored to help guide it.

Our Story

Shift Fitness and Massage provides the perfect blend of relaxation, rejuvenation and restoration to decrease pain and increase function and mobility. Shift offers holistic health care and prevention through: Massage, Myoskeletal Alignment Therapy, Orthopedic Exercise, Personal Training, yoga, and social dancing and group fitness.

When people as why did I do what I do it is because of pain that I thought was normal that eventually became debilitating. Working with Drs and testing, physical therapy and even surgery and chiropractic care I still had pain which caused me to have to leave my full time job before I was 40. 3 years later I found the right massage therapist that was able to relieve the pain over time. Considering that I could not shake a hand because of the nerve pain it took some time. Ironically, I did go back to that full time job and was there 6 years before I began my massage journey. I continued on with personal training and have a Associates of Science degree in both. I am also a yoga instructor and dance instructor.

Getting out of the pain cycle was a gift for me and everyone deserves to being pain free. My journey continued learning from the best educators in the country and world. The advanced orthopedic massage from techniques with James Waslaske and advance Myoskeletal Alignment Therapy with Erik Dalton are a gentle movement that are give make functional movement.
