How It Works
1. Establish a Baseline
You'll start by meeting Kristina and discussing your specific pain.
- What hurts?
- What is holding you back?
- What aren't you able to do anymore?
She'll explain the theory behind Posture Alignment Therapy and how it can help. In addition, Kristina will establish a baseline of postural photos against which to measure your progress in future sessions.
You'll begin your first in-person session immediately following.
2. In-Person Sessions
Kristina will use the following methods of discovery to pinpoint dysfunction and compensations exhibited by your body:
- Postural photos
- Hip joint palpation and observation
- Gait analysis
Next, Kristina will make an assessment and create a take-home menu of corrective exercises to help you feel better. She'll guide you in performing each exercise, teaching you correct form. You become part of the healing process by providing feedback on pain levels and perception of your corrected alignment.
3. Your Take-Home Menu
Your customized menu will provide photos and detailed instructions for each exercise as well as personalized notes from Kristina. This routine should be practiced on your own each morning until your next in-person session. You will receive a printed copy of your menu at the end of each session.
You may also access your menu via our free mobile app. In addition to the photos and instructions, the app features:
- Instructional videos on how to properly perform each exercise
- A convenient exercise timer
- A feedback tool which allows you to chart how you feel prior to and following your routine
- Indefinite access to all past menus
You'll feel better after your first visit!
You may have tried other therapies or drug-based treatments for chronic pain which, at best, only work temporarily. This can be discouraging when such pain interferes with your ability to truly thrive. While most treatment methods merely address symptoms or attempt to mask discomfort, Posture Alignment Therapy targets postural issues at the source of chronic pain. Embracing this method has enabled thousands of people just like you to ditch the pills, find an alternative to surgery, and feel better for good!
Client Testimonials
This was more than physical therapy. Kristina taught me a lot about my body and why I felt so tight & weak. For the first time in a long time I'm able to go about my day pain free. I've been to so many physical therapy places in my life but this was the one that fixed me. Thank you so much for what you do. I couldn't recommend them enough.
In September of 2011 I had Back surgery to open some channels for spinal nerves. Following that surgery I developed some real problems with core strength involving several back muscles. [Kristina] developed a series of exercises (menus) that got me from moving only with a cane to being very mobile again in about 3 to 3.5 months. At that point I knew it was possible for me to get back on the water doing my trick water skiing routines. Each menu has demanded patience and persistence, but in the end it has been well worth it! I plan to continue with maintenance exercises; there is no way that I want to risk the pain and discomfort of last October ever again!
Give it a few sessions. Keep an open mind. Try not to let what you previously know about physical therapy exercises get in the way of it. Just Do It! It works! I have done 10 sessions and I am pain free 95% of the time. In addition, I had a rotator cuff tear, this has been completely rehabbed at Pain Free Posture Clinic.
I was a patient [of Kristina's] four years ago at [the old clinic] on Sawyer. I still have my exercises and do them in my home gym. Kristina is excellent, [the therapy] is a life changer! I think of my 8 sessions there fondly and would like to go back for refresher class because I know I would learn even more. I am 85 years old.
I have been going to Kristina for over 12 years and I am so glad to see her with her own place. I started with her because of hip problems that caused a lot of pain and it was hard to sit for any length of time. Kristina was able to give me exercises that helped and now I don't have pain (unless I don't do the exercises for awhile - so I do keep up). When I had a shoulder problem from repetitive motion 3 years ago, she was able to give me exercises to help with that issue. I go back regularly to get new exercises to keep me motivated and help keep me pain free.
I had lower back pain and hip pain which I thought was from spinal stenosis. My orthopedic therapist suggested I try Pain Free Posture Clinic. After starting the program on my 4th visit I no longer have hip pain and my back spasms have gone away. I am able to play golf several days a week without suffering from back and hip pain.
The sciatic pain was very sporadic coming and going all throughout the day. I was told the only way to fix the sciatic pain was to have surgery and I didn't want to have surgery. After working though the program for a few months I am now Pain Free and feel better aligned in all of my joints with an overall improvement in my health. I am now able to play multiple days of golf without experiencing the pain I once did.
After my first session with [Kristina], my only question was: How can something so seemingly simple and non-invasive is not as mainstream as physical therapy, pain clinics, and chiropractors? 5 years ago, I injured my back doing CrossFit. I went from being a trail runner, cyclist, swimmer to a basically sedentary lifestyle. I have tried all of the possible treatments: injections in my spine for pain/inflammation, physical therapy fora bout a year, different treatments offered at pain clinic, chiropractors - nothing provided any amount of relief. I had reached the baffling and embarrassing stage of having to lay down to put my shows on. Fast forward until a few weeks ago; a wrong move, excruciating pain, and it was close to impossible to walk. [Kristina] made it ALL go away after an hour. One single hour is all it took to move my hip back where it belonged, and magically that back pain I’ve had for years was gone. Naturally, before the session, I was highly skeptical. How can I not? After all, I had done all of the mainstream treatments, short of having surgery. It’s all biomechanics. It’s about understanding how every muscle, ligaments, tendons, bones all work together. If one set of muscles is disengaged, it starts a chain of events, resulting in pain. It’s about finding the exact root cause of the pain, and guiding the body to re-align itself. Katerina will evaluate your posture, how you walk, how you stand, and guide you through a series of motion exercises to begin correcting what needs to be addressed, and soon you will be on your way to a more aligned body without pain. Equally important, [Kristina] is a real pleasure to work with. She understands what it means to be in pain. I didn’t have to try and convince her I was miserably handicapped ~ she gets it. (a welcome change from my experience with many doctors and chiropractors). If you are skeptical like I was, just go for it. You have nothing to lose, quite the opposite (the first session is free).
Kristina and Pain Free Posture Clinic has completely changed my relationship to pain. Under her guidance, I have learned ways to get out of pain when it comes AND, more importantly, how to use targetted movement as prevention. I cannot say enough good things. 100% recommendation.
As always Kristina gets to the bottom line and has helped me tremendously over many years. A true godsend for me if you just follow her recommendations.
