A couple of weeks ago I went to an exercise class and threw my back out. I could not even stand up. I was in extreme pain. I called Kristina at Pain Free Posture Clinic and she got me in the next day. My husband dropped me off and she worked with me between other clients. After doing the gentle stretches and exercises I was able to stand up straight. My back and hips were hurting a little still but by the next day I was feeling good and pain free. I was amazed at the change from one day to the next.

In early August 2024 a neighbor I spoke with concerning my posture, foot alignment, and a horrible gait from a surgery I had in June of 2012 recommended Kristina McDaniel at Pain Free Posture Clinic and I'm so glad I took her recommendation. According to a Podiatrist I had a Tarsal Tunnel injury from an accident I had in 2010. The doctor convinced me to have surgery to remedy my injury. Well it was a botched surgery and wish I had never agreed to have my right foot operated on. There are many options with other professionals instead of an invasive surgery. Looking back on my situation I wished I had researched all my options instead of going under the knife. Here's the reality of working with Kristina, she has a great therapy for you, no matter your ailment. I will tell you. You MUST do the work weekly with her handouts or don't waste time or money! I have a ways to go, but in just 14 weeks I have improved so much with her guidance. She has helped me with my body alignment, my gait which has improved greatly and I no longer stare at the floor or ground when I walk. You must do the exercises, stretches, and commit yourself to this wonderful therapy. I would recommend Kristina to anyone who is suffering or dealing with pain to help cure you! The time and investment is definitely worth it! Let her help you help yourself!

I highly recommend Kristina at Pain Free Posture Clinic. I have been going to Kristina for over a year now. When I first went to her, I had a nerve and tendon injury in my foot and ankle. I was scared that my injury was permanent due to the severity of the pain and after having a poor experience with a podiatrist that recommended a boot, which subsequently affected my knee and hip. Kristina through her keen observation of what was going on in my body quickly designed a program that had me pain-free in short time (2-3 months). I went from walking 1000 steps a day with tremendous pain and limitations to over 25,000 - 30,000 steps/day with no concern, problem, or pain. I still go for maintenance and for other things that come up from working out/repetitive motion pain. I have also sent family and friends to Kristina to help them with shoulder/neck/arm numbness and pain. She has helped everyone through her specific targeted exercises. Kristina is easy to work with. She is very caring, super knowledgeable, patient, and her detailed explanations always make a difference on me being comfortable and confident to do everything on my own after our sessions.

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 a great experience at Pain Free Posture Clinic with Kristina! I went in because I wanted to improve my posture, and I am so glad I did. She was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to assess my specific needs. I did 8 sessions and Kristina created a personalized plan each time that was easy to follow and made a noticeable difference in how I stand and move. Not only did I see improvements in my posture, but I also felt less tension and discomfort in my body overall. The exercises were simple yet effective.

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.

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.

[Therapy] with Kristina has been life changing! I was diagnosed with scoliosis and a rotated spine at a young age and have lived with pain and misalignment my entire life. After two sessions with Kristina I was standing straight and my pain was gone. Now, after 8 sessions, I feel great, have beautiful posture and the curve in my spine has almost completely corrected itself.

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.

Love love love [Pain Free Posture Clinic]!! Kristina and her team are amazing! They have helped me tremendously with chronic neck & knee pain. They are so friendly & it was actually a joy to go in for my sessions.
