After 7 years in the fields of health and wellness in various outlets, all of my experiences boil down to the yearning of how the human body understands, blocks, controls, and recovers from pain. The path started on a surgical trauma unit at Massachusetts General Hospital, dabbled in various group fitness studios, and immensely transformed in a Tier III personal training position at a Boston Equinox. It also has ultimately led to my pursuing a career in chiropractic health. I have personally worked with hundreds of injuries, ailments, and emotional states (emotional states are essential to include here, as stress carries an unprecedented load on the body) throughout my tenure as a health professional. I have learned that the vast majority of injuries can be attributed to the body being ill-equipped for the movement it was asked to perform, or the stress threshold has been reached and that individual can no longer experience more stimulus without pain. This is a very different suggestion than what is commonly stated, that a specific movement pattern was performed the "wrong way" and then injury prevailed. And the difference is crucial: there are no right or wrong ways to move your body. What there is, though, is either a proper healthy workspace for the body to move through, or a lack thereof. Injury triumphs in an unhealthy or nonexistent workspace.

My job is to educate you on how you can safely grow your workspace. The human body has an amazing way of telling us when it is not ready to do something or when something is not quite right; it is up to us on when we want to listen to it.
