After years of putting up with back pain and a slow progression of scoliosis, Kristina has improved my posture and gate in just six weeks. Her exercises are reasonably doable at home, and I think I may have retrieved a bit of my height. It will be easy to continue working at home. Bottom line, I feel better and am happy with my results. Thank you, Kristina and Pain Free Posture Clinic!

I have been going to Pain Free Posture Clinic for a while and Kristina is great. She asks if I have any pain areas and then evaluates me each time I go for a session. She then gives exercises I can do to help address my issues. Would highly recommend Kristina and Pain Free Posture Clinic to help you with whatever pain you are experiencing.

I have had surgeries following a motorcycle accident. I had 5 surgeries for a chronically dislocated shoulder, despite the physical therapy and work with personal trainers I had pretty much given up on feeling better. I started with Kristina at Pain Free Posture Clinic doing the exercises and stretches prescribed for me based on my posture and it has changed my life. I felt better after the very first session. I now feel better and am able to do more than I have in years.

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).

I had never gotten depressed that I could remember, but I was familiar with the signs. Depression was setting in. I had been hurting for 13 years as best I could figure after throwing my back out working in my yard. Sciatica in my right leg down to my ankle was paralyzing me each afternoon and the demands of teaching was becoming too much to handle through the pain. I hurt most of the day and lying down was the only thing that seemed to give me relief. I was ready to retire! But I was only in my 50's! Through all those years I went to 4 doctors (one was ready to do ankle surgery!) and 3 different rehabs. I also went to 3 different chiropractors. Last spring, a doctor told me I had a bulging disc L4 and L5, which I had never been told. I received a series of 3 shots in my back, which gave me a liffle relief. I had tried lots of things and was running out of hope. Facing back surgery and dreading the thought, I was thinking I had no other choice. I was visiting a friend, Julia, who had been after me for several years to try [Posture Alignment Therapy]. It was successful for her so she suggested that I make an appointment with Kristina in Houston. By November I was in really bad shape, but after working with Kristina for a couple of hours, I could feel my hope return! She worked with me again the next day before I caught my plane to make sure I knew how to do the [exercises]. Since then Kristina and I have used Skype every 2 weeks or so to meet together for our appointment. We discuss the [exercises] on my menu, where we might need to make adjustments to the exercises, and how life is so much better! It has now been 6 months since I started [with Kristina]. I walk straighter, my eyes show hope, and the sciatica has gone away! I do my menu every morning before school and my tower at night, before bed. I am going to the gym again and that feels good. Is it easy to discipline myself? Not always, but I know if I don't do it, I will regret it. The effort you put into the [exercises] and tower [is proportional] to the pain relief you will get. I'm looking forward to the summer and I hope to make more progress than I can ever imagine.

OMG I don't even know where to start but first THANK YOU for noticing my structural imperfections and giving me hope and knowledge that I can get this fixed and ride my horse in a balanced and square position the way I did when I was a kid.

After years of pain from sedentary work at the computer, plantar fasciitis and heel spurs, I arrived in dire shape at the door of [Kristina's] clinic in Houston. I am so happy to say that after two months most of my pain is either gone or decreased. I notice many big and small changes, but the most spectacular happened at the end of menu three. I had been exercising the menu and using the tower at home. Afterwards I felt the most powerful, acute pain in my right foot (the foot which had caused me the most pain over the years with sprains, swelling and caused me to walk on the outside of my right foot.) I immediately put ice on the area below my ankle on the inside of the foot. The pain lasted a few minutes and on removing the ice pack I saw a tarsal bone slightly protruding under the skin. That bone had not been visible before but now matched my left foot. I stood up and there was no pain and there is still no pain. I believe that the corrections I have been making with [Kristina] allowed the bone to escape years of being trapped by cartilage and it had broken tree. Now I am able to walk with only minor pain from the heel spur. It is wonderful to know that there is hope and promise that the rest of my body will respond and be corrected. Thank you, Kristina. Now I look forward to my retirement and know that with continued body work I will be able to climb those mountains and enjoy life. What a gift. [UPDATE:] Another change happened this week after I submitted my story to Kristina. My shoulder broke free of the adhesions and scar tissue a few days ago. I woke up and rolled over and my shoulder popped free. My shoulder is completely pain free and I have full range of motion. We are all celebrating my successes at the clinic.

Kristina is awesome! My knee was killing me, and Kristina help immediately alleviate my pain, and create a plan to stay pain free. She is so nice and easy to work with. I recommend Kristina to anyone!

Nothing short of miraculous. I went from barely being able to walk in the mornings to long comfortable day walking in less than a month.

Two years ago, I broke my leg walking across the street front my house. I was walking with my friend, she tripped and fell. I tried to catch her, but failed. She fell on top of my leg and broke it. I now have a rod that goes [from] my ankle to my knee. Just a tragic accident. I broke my tibia and knee. I was bed ridden for 4 months. 6 months of therapy followed with no improvement. My right knee, hip and, back hurt from the injury. I had a second surgery on my knee for scar tissue. Which I am sure would not have happened if I would have discovered [Kristina] earlier… with the first 4 therapies with [Kristina], I stopped using my cane and didn't feel any more pain in my leg or back. I attribute all my improvement to [Kristina]. I hope that others can find healing as I did. Thank you to Kristina for being so patient and compassionate.
