I found Pain Free Posture at a time when I had been dealing with chronic pain for a couple of years. Every doctor and PT I saw seemed stumped by my symptoms, and I had multiple MRIs that all came back normal. I worked with Kristina at Pain Free Posture for a year, and she helped me tremendously. I have gained a much better understanding of alignment, and I have many tools and exercises to keep myself healthy. Most of my days are pain free now, and I am so grateful to Pain Free Posture for that.

I was diagnosed with hip bursitis about 5 years ago with pain on the outsides of both hips. After several cycles of steroids, physical therapy, and icing I was still suffering from debilitating pain. I began the course of exercises in early January. In February my husband and I went on a trip to Spain. I was averaging 10,000 steps a day! One highlight was a hike with my husband to a mountain top on the southern coast. Something I could have never done just two months before. I began sleeping much better, and the number of migraines started to go down. Posture Alignment will work if you put the effort and time into it.

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.

My neck is completely pain free. The continued work is improving my posture and the other conditions created by years of office work, sitting, and computer and cell phone use.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

[Kristina] has been life changing for me. I first came to Kristina ... in incredible pain. I found her compassionate and professional. She evaluated my posture and gave me a series of easy exercises and stretches that have helped me get back to a very active, athletic life. Periodically I get a new set of exercises which have resolved issues from trigger finger to sore neck and shoulder muscles. Amazingly, at 56, I have even grown a quarter inch. I'm sure the same thing that caused the growth relieved stress in my back and have given me this pain free life. I live close to the clinic, so I'm able to go in most days to do my exercises. While there a see so many people helped by this method -- getting off pain medication, avoiding surgery, and back to more active lives.
