I am 68 years old and thought I might be doomed to pain the rest of my life. After I retired I began experiencing severe upper back pain. Following an evaluation by my doctor he suggested a pain clinic for my degenerative back issues. Not wanting to go the pain management route, I remembered a friend had suggested [posture alignment therapy]. At my first visit about two years ago Kristina listened professionally and assessed my situation. She took pictures and applied the images to her computer program to illustrate the sources of my problem. She carefully assigned a menu of exercises for me to do at home and assured me I could call if I had any questions. Being new to [the therapy], I felt a bit insecure doing exercises on my own until she showed me the convenient app for my phone complete with pictures, timers and instructions for each exercise. At each visit Kristina asks about my current health and assigns a new menu of exercises. I am so happy with the progress I've made with the exercises. I live an active life and seldom experience back pain.

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.

I am clearly doing so much better because God blessed me with dear treasures like you!!! My pain is hardly even there! I am not exercising yet except for the stretches. My hip is NOT elevated …oh Lord I have been humbled by this experience and I have been thanking Him all the way through it! I pray God continues to protect you and cover you either countless blessings as you do His work for people.

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.

Kristina is awesome. She gives you individualized exercises to help with whatever may be ailing you: joint pain, migraines, etc. Or perhaps you're just aware that you may not have great posture and want to learn what good posture is... (this was me, and honestly, everyone needs this) well then she's perfect for this, too! She starts each session with pictures to track your progress in future sessions. She then takes you through a number of simple exercises to help activate or open up muscles and stretch the connective tissues that allow your body to just naturally fall into alignment. What's amazing is that you feel results right away. When doing exercises at home during the week, you can follow along with video and written explanations of the same exercises via their app or with a printout that she provides. I look forward to my visits each week as Kristina makes it fun, the environment is relaxing, and I feel better every time. Very highly recommended!

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.

Since spine angle is so important in golf, having your spine aligned makes it much easier to keep your spine angle intact. Good body alignment makes for good golf alignment. Having your body in sync allows all your muscles to participate in the swing. Utilizing your core muscles takes pressure off of your back. Shoulder and hip turn. Your power in your swing comes from making a good turn with both your shoulders and your hips. It would make sense that having your shoulders aligned, and loose, and the same for your hips, would allow for a much wider turn, which in turn would lead to more power for your swing. I had not hit anything other than a wedge for 2 years, back problems and a broken left elbow. Once my pain level decreased through [Posture Alignment Therapy with Kristina] I was able to work on my strength. I have now hit balls once a week for the last 6 weeks. I have been able to hit most of my clubs as far as I was prior to my injuries. The biggest change has come from the stability of my swing. I am able to repeat the same swing with constant spine angle, and a good turn. I am hitting over 90% of shots pure, and my misses have been from not standing close enough to the ball, so even the misses are actually going straight, just a little thin (lower flight trajectory).

I came in with a painful right hip, pain in the opposite knee, and a constantly stiff back. After starting the program, things started changing rather quickly, I was walking with better posture and feeling the pain in those joints going away. My wife and my daughters started commenting on my straighter posture and I was no longer slouching... I do appreciate what Pain Free Posture Clinic is doing to help so many like me.

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.

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.
